I belong to Weight Watchers. WW forbids pregnant women from joining or continuing the program, but you would not believe how many women have tried to do the program while pregnant. What the H are these women thinking?

Actually, WW does have a program for pregnant women. Or at least when I’ve been on their regime. I got pregnant while on WW, followed their guidelines and felt great.

Encourages healthy eating of good foods. Not to lose weight while pregnant, but to eat healthy.

I'd bet the pregnant women who want to do Weight Watchers are not all as nutty as you'd think. Given that WW encourages people to eat a balanced variety of healthy foods and tells members not to cut calories drastically, a pregnant woman who followed Weight Watchers would be much healthier, as would her baby, than some of the “pregorexic” women described in this article.

(Of course, I don't think pregnant women should go to WW or diet at all.)
