Help not been to a meeting for 5 weeks.

Hi I originally lost 2.5 stone & was target member for about a month. I stopped smoking (stupidly started again when I joined sw the year before) beginning of the year and just couldn't stop myself eating. Had to start paying again. Found out I am pregnant, now 9.5wks. The only way I can seem to stop the nausea is to eat something. I have gained 7lbs since my last weigh in and am too embarrassed to go back. I don't want to tell them either that I am pregnant because only myself and dh knows ( we learned the hard way). Don't want to tell anyone until my scan and couldn't tell onsultant before I told the grandparents. What should I do? It looks so bad me not having been back but how can I go and explain all this weight gain? Also is there a point in going if I am pregnant

Best not to think about losing weight whilst you are pg. That is what a dr would tell you. Just eat healthily. But if you ho to a mtg, you should tell them you are pg - only fair.

First of all congratulations on both stopping smoking again and your pregnancy.

I think you should forgive yourself for the weight gain given these circumstances, but go back to group once you are happy to announce the pregnancy - I'm sure everyone will be supportive and understanding, and you don't want to keep gaining half a stone every month.

I know you have to eat nutritionally well during pregnancy, to avoid nausea and for your baby, but I think you know that this doesn't have to mean weight gain and hopefully they'll help you to achieve that.

Better to address half a stone now than 4 stone after your baby is born.

After 5 weeks it would be cheaper to join as a new member, though you would lose your journey so far. However, I think its free while your pg, and there is extras in the plan to help keep you and baby healthy, so do look into it
