    Pregnancy and Slimming World

    Hiya, Well I had my 12 week scan (the NHS one) and my midwife booking in appointment. Scan went well but I do not have the results for the down syndrome risk as it's a combined blood test. Hopefully I will get the results in 2 days (same day as my private 12 week scan & harmony results)...

    Thanks Tamkat. Yes I will find out the gender with the Harmony scan. I have a 7yo DS and he is very keen to have a little brother. We won't be sharing with our family the gender of the baby. We only wanted to find out in order to prepare our DS in case this baby is a girl. Well, I weighed...

    seriously does this work?

    Not sure. Ive discovered the reason that I can't stick to CD is because I miss chewing! This is why I'm so excited by S&S and the fact that I can have spag bol!

    Hi Ladies! I'm currently doing Cambridge Diet & have just across this forum. The flavours and meals on S&S seems fab and it's so much cheaper than CD. Is there any flavours that are totally horrid? I'm toying with the idea of ordering some stuff but not sure what to choose! Thanks.

    Trying to Concieve on CWP

    Hi Illa. Thanks for your reply. I have heard from CWP HQ. Following SS whilst trying to conceive is absolutely safe. However, as soon as one becomes pregnant she must come off the diet & follow healthy eating plan. So, it all sounds sensible to me.
