TTC/Weight

Hi All,

I was orignally going to start TTC in March, but I have decided to put it off for a few months.

I really want to get down to my goal weight. I really only have about 10-15lbs to lose, which isn't a lot at all, but I really want to make sure that I am physically ready to get pregnant before I do.

Does anyone else share my feeling on this? I am thinking I will start TTC towards the end of the summer. That will give me enough time to lose pounds that are driving me crazy and get in shape.

I wish it were now, because I REALLY want to get pregnant - but I think I would be so unhappy with my body for 9 months if I don't do this first.

Re: TTC/Weight

its always best to get into good shape pre-pregnancy. i am def 10lbs more than i wanted to be but so be it. i'm 35 and don't want to put it off.

Re: TTC/Weight

I'm trying to do the same thing. I'd like to lose 10 pounds before ttc. We'd like to start probably this summer. I've been trying to do some form of exercise everyday (treadmill, cardio DVD, and strength training). I've only lost 2 pounds but I definitely feel better!

I didn't want to be at the top of my weight range, get pregnant, and feel horrible about my body for 9 months!

I started trying to loose a little weight at the end of Dec and so far am down 7 lbs. I don't have a lot to loose, but I wanted to be in the habit of eating healthy when I did get pregnant. We are trying now so hopefully I won't have to diet for much longer

Re: TTC/Weight

I am trying to lose also but at the same time ttc....that is on my mind more!!

I think that the healthier you are going into a pregnancy, the better it is for you and the child. If by dropping weight, you become healthier, then I would do it.
