Weight loss before pregnancy

I know I will probably get all kinds of different responses and opinions on here, but, lol, here it goes!
So I have lost over 40 lbs since last April (that's about 1 lb/week!) I am 5'2 and 127 lbs as of today. My personal gw is 121. I am also toning up currently with Jillian's 30 Day Shred, so I do have some muscle
My question is this - I have had 2 children in the past few years and we are ready to have our 3rd sometime in the near future. I have been wondering a lot lately though about getting my tummy area toned up (it's finally starting to go down, yay!) Is it going to be better for my body to lose the last 5+ lbs and tone up, to then become pregnant a few mos later? Or since I will be gaining some with the pregnancy and stretching my skin right back out, is it maybe worse? lol, I know that sounds weird, but I've heard stretching skin out and back agian and out and back again...makes it lose it's elasticity. So, hope that makes sense, if my ?'s unclear, let me know! Thank you -
