While WW used to have a pregnancy promgram whereby they gave guidelines for food choices with NO wiegh in, they no longer have this option. They cited "fears of lawsuits if, in response to weigh-ins and the general atmosphere focusing on weight loss, someone should not eat appropriately and WW be blamed". If you are a member and get pregnant they will accept a letter from your doctor, give a refund if you have paid in advance and not require a joining fee when you return. I do not know if they require a doctor's clearance to return.
