Pregnant & Slimming World

[Littlemeandmine]

Good morning,

I'm 14 weeks pregnant :)

My BMI is 31.

I weight 12 stone and desperately don't want to put lots of weight on as I want to be as healthy as possible for the baby.

Has anyone done slimming world while pregnant and has it managed to keep the weight down? I'm not necessarily wanting to lose weight, just to manage it carefully while pregnant.

Thank you :) xx

Hey,

I haven't done Slimming World but as long as you're doing it for motivation to maintain a healthy diet and not to lose weight then I think it's fine.

Maybe just go for the talks and skip the weigh in. As you know, you will put on weight during pregnancy whether you're eating well or not so try not to get too hung up on the numbers.

I'm almost 30 weeks now and have put on 1st 11lbs so far (my starting BMI was 25). Baby will triple in size over the next 10 weeks so I know I'm going to put on a lot more before he's born.

Just make healthy choices where possible and keep an eye on portion sizes.

Thanks for you're reply :)

Yeh I'm not bothered about losing weight, just want to keep my eye on the weight side. It's my second baby and I put 4 stone on the first time so don't want to get anywhere near that this time. Xx
