Slimming world while pregnant

I'm currently 5 +6 (early days I know) with my long awaited (taken 3yrs) 2nd! Very exciting/scary time with soo much to think about! With my first, I took the "eating for 2" thing just a bit too literally, and put on roughly 5 stone! It's taken me the 4.5yrs since I had DD to lose most of that! That was all lost through slimming world - lots of shiny stickers for me. Last year I had to give up as there wasn't a group near where I live, but now there is and I've been on the plan again for 8 weeks and doing well on it. I was wondering if there are any of you yummy mummies who are following slimming world while pregnant, and if it's helping you. I see the midwife on Tuesday and will obviously check everything with her too Smile x

I'm 7 weeks today and went back to slimming world 3 weeks ago. Had previously got to target 2 years ago but have gained 2 stone since Shock Blush

I've gone with the intention not of loosing weight but just keeping me in check so that instead of 3 chocs I'll just have the 1 or maybe 2

Had my booking in yesterday and my midwife was happy for me to attend and signed my forms. But did warn me not to try and loose weight but to eat healthily.

Thanks for the reply dreams. That's exactly why I want to go! Not to lose weight, but to keep me in check on the healthy eating front and to manage it properly this time round! Do you need to have something from the midwife to be able to keep going to SW?

I do slimming world and we have a pregnant lady there. It's approved by the midwife association I believe so perfectly fine to do. When you are pregnant you get 2 healthy extra A and B a day instead of the one. I stopped going when pregnant but looking at her I wish I had stayed and managed my weight!
Good luck with the pregnancy
