i'm thinking of joining slimming world pretty much as soon as babys here maybe after 2 or 3 weeks start the classes a friend done this and has lost all her baby weight her ds is only 15 weeks and tbh she looks better now that pre pg, but quite a few people have said it's far to soon and can't believe i'm even thinking about it yet (34 weeks) some have even suggested it wouldn't be healthy. DP's aunt (5 yrs older than me) had the cheek to suggest i should be focusing on my baby not myself like she did 4 dress sizes ago. Really want to know if i'm the only one that thinks it's ok?

To try to field any questions i won't be BF and if i did i would alter plan to allow for it (MW will advise), i want to do it because tho i am happy to get chubby in pregnancy i don't want to be afterward i want to feel attractive again (vain but i miss it) and i usually struggle to lose weight so don't want to leave it months gain more be unhappy and have a huge struggle to get loads of weight off.

Can i get some opinions on this??

I can't believe someone has recommended a HIGH PROTEIN diet in pregnancy Angry . This type of diet under normal circumstances has the potential to put pressure on the kidney function, in pregnancy this could lead to pre-eclampsia - resulting in potentially losing the baby or yourself! STUPID SUGGESTION!

If you are determined to lose weight then brisk walking/ swimming combined with no junk food i.e. a well balanced diet rich in nutrients is the best approach, with all food groups and lots of fruit and veg.
