Losing weight before TTC?
Right now, I would definitley consider myself overweight and it's a concern of mine as we start to get the ball rolling with TTC.
Did any of your doctors that you met with prior to TTC advise you to loose weight before you actively start trying?

Re: Losing weight before TTC?
I was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes and as a result the doctors have all told me that I really should try and lose a good 35 lbs or more before TTC.
Its a crappy thing to hear, but I'm trying my best to lose weight so that I don't have to worry about taking meds while pregnant to control my sugar and to just be healthy overall.

My doctor had me lose the extra 10 I was carrying, said it would be easier now than when pg.
Dr said it makes for healthier mom and baby was suggestion but wasn't forcing it on me or saying it should really impact TTC

Re: Losing weight before TTC?
This was one of my concerns that I brought to my docs attention, mainly because I have severe back problems and am worried any additional weight will put me over the line into surgery. He said I can continue to work on losing weight, but that I shouldn't put off TTC for it. He says if I eat right, I can still lose weight during pregnancy, which is perfectly fine as long as the baby is not deprived of nutrition, and I can continue to lose weight if I breastfeed, which I plan to do.

This is exactly what I plan to do. I haven't lost all of the weight from my 1st pregnancy but also know I haven't really tried as hard as I know I can I'm hoping that if I am blessed with #2, if I continue to eat healthy and exercise moderately, I can continue to shed the extra weight or that it will shift from my hips/azz to my belly
