Weight watchers while pregnant?

Question

I joined WW 2 months before conceiving and lost about 16 lbs. I have read many forums and comments saying people have followed the nursing program of WW with doctors consent...

I've been following the nursing program which gives you more points than the version to lose weight. Some days I give into cravings so much more than I should but I am trying to maintain healthy eating habits and prevent myself from using my pregnancy as an excuse to pig out...

Has anyone done this or know anyone who has followed WW or a version of WW while pregnant?

Answer

I think it's great, all you are doing is eating healthy. You aren't deprived of food and starving on WW. More power to ya!

Answer

I haven't done this,but I just thought I'd tell you how much I admire that you're keeping it up even when pregnant,I want to eat everything in site! Well done :)

Answer

I'm in the exact same boat as you! Joined a couple months before conception and was down 11 lbs. I'm still planning on following it simply because it does help me be more conscious about what foods and how much I eat. I did change to the nursing though too. But lately I haven't been able to eat anything anyways because I've been so nauseous, but it definitely makes me make better choices when I do eat

Answer

From what I understand officially you should not follow ww while pregnant.  They recommend stopping the plan and following doctors orders exclusively.

Answer

You aren't allowed to be an active member, but it's a healthy plan to follow. The nurse I met with at my first ob appointment was sad to hear that I had to cancel my membership and she suggested I still follow it, but watch my weight to make sure I'm gaining the right amount.

Answer

As long as you aren't losing weight, it's a great method to follow. I lost 25 pounds through weight watchers before we conceived and I've managed to stay at a healthy weight so far. I'm 10 weeks tomorrow.
