ReeciePiecie replied to ReeciePiecie's discussion 'Weight Gain during Pregnancy with Type 1' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I will for sure let you know how it goes!!!

Hope replied to ReeciePiecie's discussion 'Weight Gain during Pregnancy with Type 1' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Breastfeeding/pumping does burn calories, and lowers insulin needs. When I stopped breastfeeding my insulin needs increased and I also gained weight. Was sad about that!"
Donna replied to ReeciePiecie's discussion 'Weight Gain during Pregnancy with Type 1' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I ended up having a c-section. I was told that breast feeding and pumping may have helped me to loose the weight so fast. Also, the swelling (which was huge!) is water and people told me that it would often take a week or two for it to go down ...…"
Gina replied to ReeciePiecie's discussion 'Weight Gain during Pregnancy with Type 1' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Donna, do you mind my asking if you had a vaginal birth or a c-section? I'm wondering if that plays part in the weight melting off? Also, my feet swell at the drop of the hat, so I'm anticipating the joy of that if/when I become pregnant!…"

- Welcome Home ReeciePiecie!
I am happy that you are reading this and that you are a member of the growing TuDiabetes family.
Since the community was formed back in early 2007, lots of things have changed. Also since then, lots of new members have joined: we're now nearly 11,300 members. So, new members and new features means it never hurts to refresh how things work around the community.
If you haven't read it, I invite you to take a few minutes to go through our New Member Guide. If you have been a member for a while but have let a little dust accumulate on your TuDiabetes account, you will find it very useful. If you joined just recently, you will find it EVEN MORE handy.
If you don't find answers to a question you may have, never hesitate to ask. Click on the Contact Us link at the bottom of any page and one of the members of our Admin team (you can see their faces on the bottom right side of any page) will get back to you shortly.
