Pregnant on SW

[Wowthisisreal]

Hello... so as you may be able to tell from my username I (very recently) found out that I am pregnant! I've been doing SW for nearly about 16 months and have lost 3 stone and currently 7.5lbs away from target.

My question is... when do I tell my consultant? I'd like to call target now and let her know as I don't want to do anything that would harm the baby and know I need extra HEs.

I feel a little weird about telling my SW consultant before my family - what do I do? I know I need to have permission from my midwife but I'm not seeing one yet...

Advice gratefully received! 😊

Here’s the leaflet your consultant will give you when you tell her - it basically just says to have two HEXAs and two HEXBs. (Sorry for the dodgy phone photos, hopefully you can still read it!)

I would relax your diet, have the HEXs and all your syns, shrug off any small gains at group and only tell the consultant when you’re ready. You’re supposed to get permission from your midwife to start SW when pregnant, but I don’t know if that necessarily applies to continuing. You probably won’t see a midwife until at 8 weeks or so anyway. And you won’t be harming the baby so long as you don’t crash diet, which of course is the opposite of SW.

Ps congrats on being near target!

Quite worrying when I read about caffeine! I'm not pregnant but when I was, I always used to drink coffee and Coca Cola! :/

Thanks all. I rang and told my SW consultant and she agreed I would call target at next weigh in and she would give me the leaflet. I've started taking the two HEx now so hopefully that means I'm doing I can to keep bubba healthy and safe!
