Losing Weight with Second Pregnancy
I have a 4 month old and I am going to TTC starting this month. I still have 10 pounds to lose to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
My question for those in the similar situation is:
Will it be more difficult for me to lose those 10 pounds plus the second baby weight I gain once DC # 2 is born?
I hope that makes sense?

Re: Losing Weight with Second Pregnancy
I haven't experienced it yet but I always believe the longer the weight is on you, the harder it is to lose it. So those ten pounds would be the toughest to lose after the next baby.
But I think a second baby would be worth it

Re: Losing Weight with Second Pregnancy
It will definitely be worth it 
I gained 46 pounds and I was fortunate enough to lose 36 pounds already without trying. If I just work out a little I will be able to lose those 10 extra pounds.
Hopefully I will not gain as much the second time around.

Re: Losing Weight with Second Pregnancy
It's hard to predict b/c every woman is different. Some women barely gain any weight with a second pregnancy...you never know. I would continue to try losing up until you begin TTC. After that, you really don't want to force yourself to diet, especially once you're pregnant. Not to say you should go wild w/eating but you kwim.

Re: Losing Weight with Second Pregnancy
I weighed less after my second pregnancy than before I got pregnant with my first.
Are you planning on nursing?

Re: Losing Weight with Second Pregnancy
No I do not plan on nursing.
I am going to try and lose as much as I can before I get pregnant and hopefully I can lose it all when I have baby # 2.
Thanks for the advice!!!

If it helps, I never "ate for 2". I ate when I was hungry.

This is what I'm soooo worried about too, I plan I doing some yoga classes, and watching what I eat a lot next time!

Re: Losing Weight with Second Pregnancy
I actually lost all the weight I gained with my 2nd pregnancy. I was carrying twins and I did not gain as much weight as I did with DD . I only gained about 30 lbs and lost it +++ after I had the babies
