Will be TTC, Losing weight to TTC first

in Trying to Get Pregnant
Hello all! I'm really wanting to TTC now but we have to wait until at least August BUT I have to lose weight before then because I had blood pressure issues with my DD and had to be induced. I don't want to have those issues again. I'm trying to find a forum that can accept my situation and I can relate to. I tried Babies on the Brain but didn't feel like I belonged. Please let me know if you think another board might be more suited for me. I love to hear about others TTC adventures. I think the entire process is so beautiful. Thank you for your time! :)

    I also decided to lose weight before TTC and I am so glad I did.  It took me two years but I lost 85 lbs and I have never felt better in my life.  From what I've read, even a small weight loss can improve your chances of getting pregnant, and I know I'll have a healthier pregnancy than I would have otherwise.  Good luck -- you can do it!

    Hi and welcome. As Slappy said, join the weekly getting healthy check in (that's probably not the right name, but something like that) on Wednesdays.

    Good luck with your weight loss and eventual TTC!

    Technically you are still TTC --- You are taking steps required to do so!  Your step 1 might be different than other's - but your're still on your way! .... I had the same step 1 as you, and I lurked and posted occasionallly on here before while I was losing weight as well .... And as you can see by my weight loss ticker- I got inpatient.

    The Dr's 'goal' was 57#'s - DH & mine was 30# - haha.

     GL & Welcome!

    I am now TTC and I still want to lose another 17 pounds not sure what will happen first. Pregnancy or losing 17 pounds but I've lost so far 43 pounds. I think it's a a great idea! 

    I didn't realize it matters how much the man weighs or I would have put my hubby on a diet! He hasn't lost any weight. 

     

    So bravo for making yourself healthier!! It's a great plan!
