My husband and I want to start TTC our 2nd child next spring or summer. Everything about that timing seems right, except for the fact that I am about 70 lbs overweight. I am otherwise very healthy, but I'm worried about how being pregnant will affect my body.
For the last few months I have been working hard at eating healthy and getting more excercise. I have already lost probibly about 10 lbs, but I still have so far to go to get to my ideal weight. Whether or not to TTC in the next 9 months or so is a major dilemma to me. I guess I'd just like to hear about other women's experiences with TTC while being overweight.

Hello I dont normally look at this board but did tonight and came across your post and thught id answer. Im about 100lbs overweight man did I just say that wow lol. Ok well ive had no troble getting pg. b.c. cant even stop me 2 times over now. I dont think its affected my body anymore than anyone elses. all my babies have been healthy #4 on the way. They say you cant feel movement as quick either as a smaller person. Not true with me anyways. I have noticed that already being over weight I do tend to gain weight fast and alot I start to show at 3 months and on and I normally gain 50-90 lbs during pg. I guess being overweight makes that worse. Im going to try this time and be healthier. hope it works out great for you.
