Dieting whilst pregnant
Has anyone got any tips on dieting whilst pregnant? Any good diets? Well Healthy eating I suppose rather than dieting, I just feel like a ginormous great big fat b**** and i'll just get fatter as the pregnancy goes on I need to get a grip! ?
My doctor also recommended me getting the flu shot while pregnant ? I'm not sure if I want to or if i should ? It's all scary to me !! What do you ladies think ? Did you get the flu shot while pregnant ? Are there any risks? Or should I wait ? I'm so scared of taking anything while pregnant , much less getting this shot.. He said it isn't mandatory , just recommended.
So I'm supposed to start my period today and I took a test with fmu and it came back negative :( really bummed.. I just hate how I have to struggle to get pregnant. Everyone seems to get pregnant so quick I just don't understand :((
Only found out I was pregnant last night after I ended up in A&E thinking it was my kidney🙈 7 hours sat in A&E, didn't get home until 4 this morning just to find out I was pregnant! Couldn't of been any better news tbh. Doctors tomorrow👶🏼💙
If anyone is trying to get any tattoos done on them, I really recommend you not to especially if you are pregnant. You can seriously HARM the child!

I had gestational diabetes in my last pregnancy so I had to go on a much healthier diet. You could try eating like a diabetic? Cutting down on carbs and increasing veg and protein

I followed slimming world pregnant (extra a and b choices) if not in classes. Only plan the midwives support - however was told not to diet during pregnancy as can be dangerous for baby and you xx

Just make healthy choices where you can. Don't cut back your calories x

While I was pregnant with Bethany, I cut back on junk food, ate more fruit, and did light exercise several days a week instead of intensive stuff a couple of times a month. I didn't lose weight at any point but only gained 21lb throughout my pregnancy (I'd started at 11st7lb)
The main thing I found was that I could wear pre pregnancy clothes again 5 days pp, and by the time my maternity leave ended I was a stone lighter than when I conceived.

One thing you shouldn't do is drastically reduce your calorie intake. Healthy food and exercise is always best and works well together

Yeah slimming world is good when pregnant, although just making sure you have a good balance diet is best, drinking lots of water is good (although I know that's hard with a baby resting on your bladder ?) x

It's difficult to be healthy 100% of the time. Especially with morning sickness. Sometimes you just don't want to eat fruit and veg.
If your at a stage you feel okay, I'd just cut out as much processed foods and possible and cook with fresh ingredients. Not exactly a diet but healthy for you and baby.
I think slimming world is the diet midwifes recommend.

Slimming world is good whilst pregnant as nothing is off limit.
