DH and I know we want more kids but instead of spacing them out by certain amount of time, I told DH that I don't want to start again until I loose 15 lbs. I'm 140 now but was heavier than my usual when I got pregnant. I also gained way more weight than I should have with this pregnancy.

am I weird?

We are tentatively planning to try for #2 when DS is 1. We have talked about starting earlier, but we won't unless I am down to my goal weight. At this rate, we will be waiting until DS is 1 year!

My friend worked out and lost 10lbs in her first trimester! And her dr. was OK w/it as long as she ate/excercised right and the baby was progressing nicely. She went on to have a natural birth of an 8 lb baby! So it can be done

Good luck!

I gained too much weight with DS and was borderline pre-e for the last month. I want to lose all my baby weight, and wait a few months after DS is done BFing. We're hoping around 18months. We want them 2-3 years apart.

yep I want to get back down to my pre pregnancy weight which was its lowest in 7 years but I loved it! but then I got pregnant and gained 50. So I'd like to be more cautious w/ my eating next pregnancy. But I did want to have another super close. Well the weight is one reason coupled w/ my son is a "spirited" baby.

I kinda wanna wait until:

We're living in a bigger place - we're in a 1 bdrm now.

I'm done with my Master's - should be by next Dec.

DS is potty-trained - Less diapers to buy (and change)

We've gone on a nice vacation - i.e. Caribbean

I'm just hoping to be down to pre-preg weight before it happens. I also gained way too much. I'm down 40 and have 20 more to go, but it's so hard with trying to get to the gym and if I don't go to the gym, I don't lose. It just boils right down to that for me. It's actually been like that my whole life. No matter how well I eat, I lose nothing without the gym. I'm still EBF though, so who knows when we'll get pregnant again. We're not using birth control, but then again, we're not doing it much either, maybe 4 or 5 times since Dexter was born and he's already 5 months.
