Weight Watchers while pregnant???

Hi all

About me:
I'm not new to weight watchers (or any diet for that matter! :giggle - i lost a few stone back in my teens with WW.

During adulthood my weight became heavier and heavier, so I took the plunge and did a meal replacement diet (Cambridge) loosing 8 stone But was still 2 stone away from my goal of 11 stone when I fell pregnant. I had to abruptly stop the diet resulting in gaining 2 stone in as little as 2 months :cry::cry::cry:

I really do not want to fall into the trap of "bugger it, i'll eat what I want" as I have done previously. I really do not want to gain the weight I have lost back. :sigh:

My question is: Can I follow the weight watchers plan while I am pregnant?

Help and advice would be much appreciated

I know you can't go to a WW class while pregnant but you can go to a SW one.

Perhaps you could talk to your doctor or a midwife and get advice

And congratulations to you both

I was going to say the same. I don't think you can do WW when pregnant, but I know you can with slimming world.

I think your doctor has to sign you off, to go to SW if u decide to go to one of their classes too.

Congatulations on the pregnancy! x

Thanks Irene! I'll visit my GP and see what she advises

It is only a myth that you eat for 2 when your pregnant anyway. the reality is that you dont need that many more calories, you just need to ensure you are getting all the nutrients your body needs!

isn't it something like 200cals at the start then increases to 500cals later on in the pregnancy??

Awww lil babies! be worth the gain imo congrats! and good luck with everything xx
