[quote=Anonymous]Don't wait, OP. I had this mindset too -- I was carrying 20 pounds from my first pregnancy and could've stood to lose 10 more on top of that to be at my ideal weight. We put off TTC for 3 months so I could try to lose weight. I tried, but I didn't lose. So then I said screw it, I'll get pregnant and watch what I eat while pregnant. And I did. And then I miscarried at 10 weeks. So now I am sitting around waiting for my cycle to regulate, still fat, when I could potentially have gotten pregnant 6 or 7 months ago and be well on my way to baby #2. Instead of my kids being just 2 years apart, like I wanted, they will now be 2.5 or 3 years apart at best, which isn't the end of the world but not what we had hoped. Nothing I can do about it now but I really regret waiting, because I should have known it was unlikely I'd really lose that weight. I never have before (which is why I was 10 pounds over my ideal weight when I got pregnant the first time!), so I don't know why I convinced myself it would be any different.

Learn from my mistake. If you really want another baby, just go for it, and let the weight take care of itself later.[/quote]
