hey hun...thought i would reply as no one has yet!

did you have a high ibm with your first baby? i understand where your coming from...but maybe set yourself a goal...like "i want to drop 1 1/2 stone (20lbs) in 2 months" then thry. small goals. if its too hard, then strat trying now. if it hinders your conception, then that might be more motivation. good luck hun x

Hi hun, do you know if the high bmi may cause any problems in pregnancy? If not, I think I would be tempted to just go with your heart and ttc now!

Hey sweetie - I am in the same position, although I am currently waiting for my first! It's bloody annoying and I get so frustrated with myself as I can really be focussed to lose weight because all I want is a baby, but then something takes over and all I want is CHOCOLATE!!!!!

I started a thread over in the pregnancy section, which I will link to in a mo so that you can have a read, I found it useful, also there's another one someone else started which I love, so will post that to for you.

If you wanna PM me about anything, if you need support or anything, then feel free

Hi Mummytink

I lost 2st before falling pregnant taking me from 20st to 18st. I fell pregnant on the first month of trying and have a gorgeous wee boy who is now 12wks old. My BMI was 43 and I had absolutely no problems during my pregnancy; I felt baby move no problems. My only downside was that I never got the massive bump I was hoping for, but I was noticable pregnant.

I was lucky and only gained 16lbs during my pregnancy and lost all that 3 weeks after the birth without trying. I fully intend to start losing weight again before TTC no.2 in Jan2010 because I want to feel fitter in myself not because I think I will have a better pregnancy.

I would suggest if you feel healthy enough then go for it.

If you want to ask me anything feel free to PM me.
