Hiya, firstly, just want to wish all you pregnant ladies all the best!
Secondly, I'm in a dilemma and it's really getting me down. I've got heaps of weight to lose (bout 10 stone'ish) but my husband and I desperately want a baby and I'm in my late 30's and well I won't let us try until I've lost a lot of the bulk weight. I'm scared that falling pg when so overweight will be a nightmare. What if my weight had an adverse effect on my child, on my health, my mobility? And the thing is, we don't even know if we can even conceive!
I don't know if I'm putting barriers up when what I should just do is relax and try, if we fall pregnant then my body is obviously ready and if we don't, I keep counting my calories and exercising to shift the weight and hopefully we'll fall pg.
I'm also paranoid that if I did fall pregnant, I'd get grief from the docs/midwives and I don't need lectures and to be made to feel guilty that I'm risking my baby.
But.........I am also running out of time too in a way, so what do I do?? I need some advice and personal experience from those who have been there and done that!
Cheers
