Can pregnant members still attend Slimming World?
A: Yes, with the support of their midwife. Slimming World's Food Optimising system provides a healthy, well-balanced diet and an ideal way to prevent excess weight gain when pregnant. We have developed a policy with the support of the Royal College of Midwives in which we ask pregnant members to get their midwife's consent to continue attending their group. A pregnancy form is available from Consultants and must be signed by the midwife at each check-up throughout the pregnancy.
Slimming World Consultants do not advise on weight change during a members' pregnancy. However, a member may be given specific advice regarding her weight from her midwife depending on individual circumstances. The pregnancy form enables the Consultant to help and support the member in managing her weight solely in the way suggested by her midwife. This ensures the Consultant can support the member in managing their weight in the way that is totally safe for her and her baby.
you cant diet and be pregnant thats unhealthy for the baby regardless if you use pills or not
i doubt any of them are and you shouldnt try to lose weight while pregnant. just cut back a little on eatting if your overweight, the baby will eat up the stored calories. DO NOT DIET! its going to be bad for the baby. wait until after you give birth then start on a diet and exercise regime. it'll be healthy for both of you.
I don't think there are any that are totally safe, I wouldnt chance it because some swelling in pregnancy can be water retention and not fat.
You need all the vitamins and also extra calories to sustain the baby so just try and eat healthy and diet after the baby is born.
Instead of popping pills swap foods. At times when you would reach for a chocolate bar or crisps have a piece of fruit or something healthier insted. You will lose weight, stay healthy AND save money. Also make sure you drink plenty of water.
u cant take anything like a diet pill when ur preg. Geez think bout ur baby for god sakes. U can lose the wieght after u have the baby. Just eat regular portion sizes threw out the pregnancy and u should be ok. I gained maybe 25- 30 pounds but that is normal. After u have the baby drink plenty of water and breastfeed too that will help u lose as well. But u got to eat right if u r gonna breast feed too.
Don't know of any pills best suggestion is to try some low impact exercise instead -swimming or walking.
No way should any unnecessary medication be used in pregnancy. Only drugs essential to the mother or foetus.
Diets are best left until after birth and diet pills are I am afraid are for the birds.

I'm a huge fan of diets and would normally start listed them at te drop of a hat, but I really wouldn't recommend any in pregnancy. I'm so sorry, I know that's not the answer you want to hear x
