Slimming world when pregnant?

I've been "prescribed" SW by my midwife (she had vouchers to give out) because my BMI was just above 30 at my booking appointment and I'm down for a homebirth. The group leader didn't say there was any difference for me, but I'm still not sure if I should be trying to lose weight or just maintain it IYSWIM.

I don't know about pregnancy, there is a leaflet, but I do know whilst BFing you get extra healthy extras, the number of which depends on age of baby etc etc...You definately need the leaflet, or you can read the info on their webpage.

As for "piling on" the weight, in a normal healthy pregnancy, you SHOULD be putting on weight, 2 stone on average.

Thanks both PL I may speak to my midwife, Mrs SC I looked on the website but can't find anything. I put on 5 and 4 stone with my first 2 which can't be healthy! And have put on 12lbs already this time.

Are you a member of their webpage? If so, if you log in, you need to look at the health fact sheets - I don't have access anymore as I've moved to WW so don't have the password, so I'm afraid I can't take a look for you!

No I'm not a member, is it free to join?

Thanks again.

You need to have joined SW to get onto the website I'm afraid. I looked for something about pregnancy earlier but couldn't find anything.

You need to be a member, or at least know what the password is!! I left SW 3 weeks ago, so I can't access it anymore, sorry!
