emma I used to be a consultant, you will absolutely love, I won't go into why I left but it was purely personal, and if I had my time again, I would still be doing it tbh.
SW is completely safe as you don't restrict your calories in the way you do with conventional diets, you can eat what you fancy, when you fancy it, from the free foods lists. IIRC your consultant will require a form to be signed by your midwife with an expected weight target (be it gain, loss, or maintain) the only time you can't actually attend classes is the six weeks following birth. Because SW is more of a healthy eating plan and so a management tool, than anything else, you will still get everything you need from it to carry in a way that is best for both you and baby!
Can't wait to get stuck into my huge salads again!
moomaa I'm of the larger persuasion and will just be getting some well fitting 'normal' bras for as I expect to gain quite a few bra sizes lol, I'll move over to maternity/bfing ones later I think! I bought a non-wired one, but it didn't fit so I'll be off to Bravissimo for some nicer ones!
