I want to have another baby but.....

dimplzz

I only read a few other comments. Only a few negative ones stood out so I skipped the rest... I have 2 children and I was sooo concerned with the same thing between my kids. I was 150's before kids, worked my ars off to get back to my pre pregnancy weight after my first and was like damn... Now I want another baby and I was sooo scared that it would be even harder to lose it the second time around! Not true, if you are focus on your goals now, you can focus on those goals again after having another baby. I say GO FOR IT GIRL!!! If you have the motivation and mind set that you do now with four kids (omg 2 is hard so you are awesome! lol) then I say you will have it again after having another. Just keep your ultimate goals in mind. You will do great! BTW, I am currently at 146 so I have over 10 pounds lighter than the 2nd. :-D

You are exactly right. Those children over 1 year of age waiting to be adopted need more love and attention than most kids and it does take a strong person to do this--but maybe if you are a person who really loves kids then it makes it all the more worthwhile?

That's very true, but the point is she has four very young children in the house. Not only does a child with RAD or FAS require extra attention, he/she could be dangerous to the other children if not closely supervised.

I had lost some weight right before I got pregnant with my last (she's almost 11 months old) and even though I hated to screw up my weight I knew that at 36 almost 37 (I'm 38 now) that time was running out for me. Here I am weighing MORE then when I had her but losing and getting healthy. I may be 2 years off my GW but I have a lovely child who is the light of my life. She's worth the effort to get back on track now rather then before. My opinion of my experience. PLUS, if you are overweight you don't need to gain much during your pregnancy. I only gained 16 with her and she was 10 lbs and very healthy!

How about just enjoying the FOUR kids you have now...

And how many kids she has is your business why?

Maybe it's just me, but I cringed at the phrases you used for deciding whether or not to have another baby: "don't want to mess it up now", "screw up everything I've worked so hard for". Pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Why would you consider weight gain to sustain another life "messing/screwing up" your progress, especially when faced with the very real possibility of NOT being able to have more? Not trying to be preachy so I apologize if I come off that way. If you really want to have another baby, gaining weight shouldn't be the deciding factor unless your doctor says so. I'm sure you can gain a healthy amount of weight by maintaining the fundamentals you've practiced here - Healthy diet and exercise. Good luck whatever you decide.

(BUZZKILL) This world is over populated....you have 4 healthy children. You should feel blessed. There are people out there who cannot have children. There are children starving in orphanages everywhere...I am sorry but I do not support over active procreation just for the sake of doing so...

This x a million
