    Aww, I don't know the answer, but I wish you nothing but the best. I have one child already, and I want another, but I refuse to have one at my weight, so I'm exercising for a baby =). Good luck <3

    Lainn - I know what you mean and yes, I think I would be disappointed/worried but I'm a bit of a type A planner and don't like it when things aren't on schedule! Haha my husband is the complete opposite. Very chilled!

    I say do what you would like to do.....you can still lose weight safely while pregnant. There is nothing that says you have to gain a ton of weight while pregnant......:)

    mrsgrumpypants - That's what I'm afraid of! I've always thought it would take me a few months but what if I'm super fertile!! I suppose the morning sickness may help with the weight loss! ;)

    hahaha! Yep, I've known quite a few girls who lost soooo much weight in their pregnancy unintentionally, just because they were simply too ill to eat! I have had a really bad tummy since I was little whenever I get sick and I often get sick when I have my period so I'm dreading pregnancy but hoping to be wrong haha!

    I think if you don't want to be pregnant right now but would like to in 2-3 months then don't start now as you might regret it. I think if the only thing holding you back is wanting to lose the weight first then I would just go ahead and start trying. Life is too short to base decisions like this around your weight. Of course, during your pregnancy journey there is nothing to stop you from eating well (not in deficit), working out (as allowed) and feeling great.

    Good luck whatever you decide!

    I would get down to your goal first. Use it as motivation to start "trying." Fortunately, with my 2 girls, I was in really good shape before getting pregnant, and I got pregnant in the first month of trying, and I had just gotten off of the pill. (yes, I know, some people want to punch me. My friends tell me all the time.) I don't know if being in better shape helps with delivery either. You may know that, being a doctor. I had my first in 6 hours and my second in just under 3. Maybe I'm making it up, but I thinks it's all because my body was physically healthy and ready. Also, you will gain weight while pregnant, and if you are already not at your goal weight, you won't want to see those numbers. :) It's going to be easier to lose the baby weight after if you are at your ideal weight.
    Whatever you decide to do, babies are the BEST! What an exciting time for you and your family!
