A little about me and my situation:
I'm 25 years old, 22 stone 9 pounds and 8 weeks pregnant.
After 4 years of no contraception I figured I was too big to conceive, so as you can imagine this has come as a bit of a shock to me.
As much as I love the thought of having another baby I'm quite sad about it too - I've been having some health problems (nothing to do with my weight) and finding out I'm pregnant has put a hold on tests I was having done. It's also put a hold on the dieting I had planned to do this year and on top of that I'm worried that my weight is going to be a major problem for both me and my baby. At the moment I am just really confused.
My plans:
My intentions are to not put a single pound on while I'm pregnant and hopefully even lose a few. I have checked with my midwife who says that Weight Watchers and Slimming World will take on pregnant women and it's totally safe as long as they know I am pregnant, but I've recently been told Weight Watchers will not take on pregnant women and I really don't understand how slimming world works, which is why I've decided I'm going to do this by trying to eat no more than 2000 calories per day and most of these calories I will try to get from good nutritional food like fruit, veg, lean meats etc.
