Anyone else following slimming world at the moment whilst pregnant? Would be great to have some tips advice & general chit chat it seems quiet on the forum
 
I'll be your preggy buddy! :)
I've just lost 3 st with only 2lbs to target and I'm 12+4! Have somehow managed to loose half a st while struggling through first trimester but I'd say a gain is def on the way.
How far along are you? Where are you in your weight loss journey? I'm prob not gonna attend class much longer but will hopefully keep it up at home. Don't want to get too obsessed about weight while pregnant but really don't want to gain a huge amount of weight! It's a bit scary really.
Looking forward to chatting with you! X
 
yay :) Thanks for your reply you are doing so well!! I was 16 stone at xmas currently 13 st 11 & will be 11 weeks on Monday :) Have been hovering around this weight for 3 weeks & not been to class as still a bit undecided whether to just go it alone.I had little boy in june 2013 & went up to 17.10 whilst pregnant ouch & I do not want that to happen again!! Looking forward to chatting have you had your dating scan then? xx
 
That's a great loss! Well done! I've had 5 scans so far as I'm high risk. It's been fantastic to see the changes from a teeny blob to a beautiful little baby in just a few weeks! When do you go for a scan?
 
aww I had a scan at 7 weeks due to bleeding could barely see a thing & the 12 week one is on 19th August really cant wait to see the difference :) xx
 
Big difference between 7 and 12 weeks! The scan will be amazing. It's lovely seeing them kick and move about. Hope the bleeding wasn't anything too serious?

oh wow such clear pic I really cant wait,my daughter was born on 15th feb :) Are you going to find out what you are having? Any hunches? They couldn't find a reason for the bleeding so hopefully all will be well & just one of those things xx
 
Hopefully it was just an irritated cervix so, apparently very common! My friend had massive bleeds and her boys were perfect.
We were very lucky with the photo alright. Tip for you, drinking water beforehand will get you a better photo, a sugary drink will have baby bouncing around and doing flips! It's hilarious to see.
 
ive had 2 boys in a row so guessing another boy haha my daughter is 12 & would love a sister but not up to me.Im not planning on finding out this time paid for a gender scan at 16 weeks with last as was so impatient but I just don't feel the need to know(at the moment haha) Are you following the plan or have you added any healthy extras? I do mainly green days so have 2 a & b healthy extras.had a good week food wise just hope it continues xx
 
Hi. Can I join and be your pregnancy buddy too. I'm 6 week today and joining sw tonight. Morning sickness has just kicked in and I'm struggling to eat healthy so really don't know how this is going to work. I'm pretty determined this time to try and make changes. I'd love to get 1 stone off through my pregnancy. Is that being stupid? How have you done on sw since you found out you was pregnant. X
 
Hi & welcome congrats on your pregnancy :) It is hard with morning sickness sometimes quick & convenient food is what you crave I love crisps!! Im doing ok just hovering around the same weight at the moment but last pregnancy don't think I had one good day food wise it was so hard & the weight piled on about half a stone a month :( I think one stone off in pregnancy is doable & not stupid at all! I lost weight with my daughter but being pregnant with boys seems to make my appetite spiral out of control you will have to see how you go eat often & plan that's what im trying to do xx

I do extra easy, haven't even looked at the other plans to be honest. I've not been on plan at all these last few weeks. I've just been eating whatever I feel able whenever I want. Going back on plan from tomorrow. I'll be having 2 a choices and 2 b choices. Hopefully I'll be able to stick with the plan!

Welcome aboard and congrats on your pregnancy! A stone off over the pregnancy is doable if you're very overweight. If you're going to class while pregnant you'll get a form (eventually) that you'll have to bring to your booking apt (12ish weeks) and have the midwife sign it. It's the only plan that you can do while pregnant and most midwives will approve of it.

So far I've lost a half st but that was because of morning sickness and food aversions. Will go back on plan tomorrow and will prob have my last group tonight. You need to make sure you have 2 healthy extra a and 2 healthy extra b while pregnant. It'll slow your loss down which is what you want. Main thing is that baby is healthy. Maybe try maintain your weight and any loss would be a bonus? My friend was majorly overweight and lost 5 st while pregnant and still had a healthy baby. They monitored her weight very closely in hospital though.
 
Can I jump aboard to?

I'm 16 weeks yesterday and overall the same weight I was before I got pregnant. I had been trying to be good at home but had put on a bit then last week joined a group and weighed in on Monday and lost 5.5lbs so very happy!

I do green but make sure I have 2 as and bs and syns. I find if I do green I can get away with having a naughty day and still loose but can't do that on extra easy.

welcome aboard lovely! wow 5.5lb that's fab :) do they mind if you lose that much? Im 2lb lighter than when I found out so very pleased as had gained 1 stone 6lb at 13 weeks with my son :/ Ive been doing mainly green days im fine during the day but im craving chocolate in the evenings & have given in to it a few times but it doesn't seem to be affecting my weight ..yet lol x
 
How are you other ladies getting on? Has the morning sickness improved? mine still going,stopped at 10 weeks last time so its a bit annoying now!! xx
 
DSCF5477 (2).JPGjust thought id add my scan pic from tues :)
 
Thank you! Yeah I was very happy with 5.5 especially as if I'm honest I wasn't on plan 100%. I think it's fine to lose that much in your first week but obviously if I did that every week then they may not be to happy - I would though ha ha! I think also because I have about 6 stone to go to target it always come a off quicker than if I was smaller.

I'm 16 weeks now and my sickness has stopped thank goodness and I'm now feeling good. I wan to lose as much as I can whilst I'm in the nice middle stage lol so that when I get to the end I'm not really gutted if I put on some. I'm due 5th feb (will probably have c-section last week of January though) so would love to lose 2 stone between now and Christmas so I can relax a bit over Christmas and still get to due date 1 stone lighter than before I got pregnant.

When are you all due?
 
oh it would be lovely to keep losing wouldn't it!! I think if you follow plan 80% of the time & have a few treats it will be fine.I gained nearly 5 stone last time & it really got me down towards the end as could barely even waddle!! Im due 28th feb,3rd feb baby so don't mind if I go over a little to march lol xx
