WW Pregnancy Policy | WW USA

You may be wondering what your pregnancy means for your WW journey. Here’s what you need to know.

WW’s program is not designed for pregnant members, and WW does not allow pregnant people to join. If you’re already a member and become pregnant, it’s recommended that you cancel your WW membership. WW will be here for you following your pregnancy—when you and your healthcare provider agree that you’re ready to rejoin.

If you already have a WW membership and you and your healthcare provider decide that it’s suitable for you to keep your WW membership while pregnant, you can do so.* If you do remain a member, some of WW’s tools that you already love may be useful during your pregnancy, such as:

• Our database of 9,000+ recipes
  
• Connect, WW’s supportive social network
  
• Water and sleep trackers, found in the WW app
  
• In-app meditations and workouts (make sure to exercise under the guidance of your healthcare provider)

As a reminder, WW’s program isn’t designed for pregnant members. That said, if you and your healthcare provider decide that it’s suitable for you to maintain your WW membership, you may find some of our healthy-living tools a helpful resource during your pregnancy, such as:

• WW’s database of 9,000+ recipes
• Connect, WW’s supportive social network
• Water and sleep trackers, found in the app*
• In-app meditations and workouts (make sure to exercise under the guidance of your healthcare provider)

*The Points® Program offers the ability to add Points for healthy habits. We advise you to not use this feature, as it impacts your Budget. (NOTE: Pregnant members should not be following a Budget.)

The water tracker now also has a suggested target. We advise you to not follow the WW water target—instead, follow the guidance from your HCP on proper hydration.

No, WW cannot provide pregnancy-specific weight or wellness guidance. You should not follow any of the WW weight-loss or weight-maintenance guidance during your pregnancy, including following a Points® Budget or tracking Points. Because WW is not designed for pregnant members, you will still have access to Points® and activity tracking as well as weight-loss content, advice, feedback, and notifications, but you should not use these.

Because WW is not designed for pregnant members, you won’t see any change in the Points® Budget in your app. However, you should not follow any WW weight-loss or weight-maintenance guidance during your pregnancy, including following a Points® Budget or tracking Points for activity. Talk with your healthcare provider about healthy eating patterns and other healthy habits during pregnancy.

ZeroPoint food list are also now individualized. If you're pregnant, you should not follow your individualized list. Instead, refer to the full list as a guide to a healthier pattern of eating.

Talk with your healthcare provider to determine whether weight tracking is suitable for you while pregnant. If advised by your healthcare provider, you are welcome to track your weight at a Studio or in the app. If you choose not to track your weight, please ignore the WW app's weigh-in reminders and other weight-based notifications. You can turn off weigh-in reminders under Settings.

No. Because WW doesn’t have a program designed for pregnancy, WW doesn’t allow pregnant people to join.

Yes! You are welcome to rejoin WW following your pregnancy—when you and your healthcare provider agree that you’re ready to start following the weight-management program again. If you choose to breastfeed, WW will automatically adjust your Points® Budget.

*Provided that you do not follow WW’s weight-management program, are monitored by your healthcare provider, and follow only your healthcare provider's advice advice regarding weight, nutrition, activity, mindset, and sleep.
