Will check it out online. Shame as ww works for me!!! Never done slimming world.. Think I may ask a midwife college at work tomorrow night x mind don't weight watchers have that simply filling diet? I am sure someone said it was similar. Confused now x

I know SW inside out and the only major difference I can see between the two diets is that SW makes you have your healthy A's and B's which are all of your dairy products (A's) and your Fibre (b's) as they give you an allowance for them. On ww there's nothing forcing you to have either as you choose what you spend your pro points on. SW is really easy to follow, I'd say that the only downside is that the diet isn't as convenient in the fact that you can't really pick up a ready meal or a sandwich on the go without it costing you heavily out of your syn allowance

I've just remembered the other main difference which I'd forgotten about as I still try to do it on ww to bulk out my meals and that's to make sure you have a 1/3 if your plate as superfree (non starchy veggies). Again on ww, there's nothing forcing you to have fruit or veg if you didn't want it x

Thanks all for advice. Xxxx I have just had friend on phone!!!! Sent her a text saying I need advice and next thing she is calling me lol... X apparently you are all correct sw is the only diet they endorse..... She said the focus is on healthy eating, she said I would be consultant lead as I was high risk!!! Apparently being fat and old deems me high risk...(really nervous now) she is going to book me in with my local team of midwives. She said ww would be fine as I am on so many points, I just need to ensure its healthy and balanced, and eat my weeklies. So i need to eat more dairy products!!! We did have an interesting conversation about pcos, she told me about new research that shows women of my age start producing less eggs, so if you have pcos you can actually become more fertile... She thinks that and the little weight loss may have kicked my reproductive organs in the arse!!

Just finished some more night shifts, and other than exhausted (normally am after dreaded nights) and have been hit by morning sickness, all is fine.. Spoke to midwifes on call Wednesday night, after going through my diet, they are happy for me to cont. I will be getting an appointment with a dietitian, due to being high risk due to being fat!!! (Could cry). Apparently I am more at risk of gestational diabetes, miscarriage, high blood pressure, and preeclampsia!!! Oh and having a massive baby!!!! I joked and said my blood pressure was fine until I had this worry....I come home and cried and cried, how could I allow myself to get this big!!! Luckily Alex calmed me down, and now I accept my weight is far from ideal, but that is something I can't change at this minute. I can ensure I eat a healthy balanced diet.. So I am going to worry only on what I have control over. This baby is much wanted, even though conceived naturally, we have done every trick with infertility... I am going to relax a little and accept what will be will be xx

So food for last 2 days, to be honest not much... Having trouble keeping much down, and have lost my appetite x last night at 4 am felt light headed, worked out I had only used. 27 points through out the day, and only kept on of them meals had down, so I had a bottle of apple juice. When pointed it was 12 points!!!! Insane but felt better after it x I had dreadful morning sickness with Dylan, so much I weighed less giving birth than when I started!! This time does not feel so bad x

You knew they were going to say that weight may cause issues but no need to get upset hun, aslong as you eat healthily and have some treats everything will be fine!

I knew a woman at my old sw group, she fell pregnant and maintained every week while she was pregnant and gutted she was having a baby when she was "fat" she hadn't actually taken in to consideration the fluid and baby growing inside her, until she weighed in 6 weeks after birth and got to goal! lol she had been losing weight, but with the baby growing at the same rate it showed she had maintained until after the birth!

I'm soooo pleased for you gorgeous! if anyone deserves some good news then it is you!!
