Anyone else putting off having another bub until they drop some weight??

[Little Gorilla]

Oh, I had such a sad day today, I was packing away all of DS's baby clothes into big storage boxes (all 5 of them:o ) and I was soooooo upset because I think I would love to start trying for another one now.....BUT and this is a very big BUTT :D I need to loose a minimum of 20 kilos before I could possible think about carrying around another baby.

I want to be alot more active in my 2nd pregnancy than I was in my first ie more swimming, yoga etc...I only put on 8 kilos...however, the past 2 years I've probably put on another 10.

Plus I will be running around after a toddler 2nd time round too...so, I don't want to just be a big lump.

Anyone else out there in the same boat?

I'm just feeling sorry for myself today...when I really should just get off my bum and get this weight thing sorted out once and for all.

[luckie_me]

I am in the same boat BubbaGanoush, I want to lose all up 35kg but 20kg min, When i got pregnant with DS i was 95kg and suffered big time with backaches neck and shoulders both ached badly! I REALLY REALLY Want another baby And want to TTC#2 in about 6months!

I did get off my bum today and i walked to the shop .... to get an ice cream lol

:laughing: That is sooo something i would do!!

I am also in the same boat, i have a few other reasons for holding off TTC, but the extra weight is a big issue. I have around 20kgs i could ideally lose and my back is already stuffed, so i don't wanna place it under any extra strain with another pregnancy right now. I need to kick myself in the bum, i've been saying i need to lose weight for ages and then not really done anything about it.

I am going to make a concious effort to start doing my yoga and pilates DVD and watch what i eat! Goodluck ladies!

[Little Gorilla]

Yeah, I have back probs too...sciatica...my feet hurst alot too...its all connected to me being this heavy and I just feel like "blahhhh" most days.

[harvey123]

I feel the same. I'm wondering how long I can cling to the "I just had a baby" thing, I think my time is up.

[luckie_me]

:laughing: :laughing: yep same with me...its been nearly 2 years :eek: ...so I'm just plain old fat now.

[V8]

DH says to me, you're not fat, you just had a baby! I'm like, he's 14 months old, i don't think that's a good excuse any more! lol

Bubbaganoush - my feet hurt too, but i blame the epidural, i'm getting acupuncture to see if it helps.

[luckie_me]

:laughing: ..... that's kind of how I felt when I was preg wiht DS....I figured I would be able to loose all my baby weight in the 6 months after I had him...boy oh boy was I wrong:no:

[SixtiesChild]

I can understand your situation and can offer some encouragement. I am in the same situation and I must lose 20 kg if I am to try for another baby at all. My last pregnancy was a nightmare and I attribute it to the extra weight. If I don't lose the weight then I won't be able to have a baby because of my age.
It's a good idea to lose some weight for the sake of your future health. Even try to get fit if you can. You'll be glad you did.
You girls are spring chickens, it is I who am the old mamma. (I'm 41 and had my first dd at 34)
I believe you can all do it- Just dedicate yourselves and get all the help & support you can. :)

[melfunction]

In August last year, I was adamant that I would lose at least 15 kgs before xmas.....

By the end of September, I was pregnant and well on my way to putting on 15kgs before xmas.

It is so depressing.

[DB&O]

Yep, this is me also, I only put on 10kgs with Bug & only had 4kgs to shift when I left hospy but since then I've put on an additional 10kgs. DH doesn't care but I do, I had a great pg with Liv & want the same seconf time around but have to lose the weight first :yes:

Ciao,
Brooke.

Hi there

Even though DH & I have decided to wait till we are in our own house then start tring (hopefully by the end of next year) I definately want to and need to lose about 15kg before I fall pg again. I was in the process of trying to lose weight when I fell pg with DS as my BMI indicated i was overweight. I put on 20kg while i pg with DS and lost 8kg within the first few weeks after having him (4kg of that was him...lol)

I want to be healthier, fitter before i fall pg again so i can stay as active as possible while pg.

[JumpingBean]

I know what you mean. I'm so clucky and wanting number 2 already, but wanting to also shift 10kg that I thought would just fall off me when DD was born! Boy was I wrong. Adding Christmas to that, I've so over eaten in the silly season.
I'd love to be pregnant already, but am fearing that I will end up huge and will have loads to loose when number 2 pops out.
Could always cheat and do a Britteny Spears and get lypo...

wow hell im in the same boat or ship, sub whatever..lol im 34 and my partner and i want to start as soon as i get to my goal weight! i only have 5 to go but the last moves bloody slowly, i mean DP does not care but i did not want to be loosing even more by the 4th.... i thought if i don,t do something now, well i don,t want to be having bubs in my 40,s so im working for around sep to oct to start so :fingerscrossed: i would of done it and enjoyed it for a while....lol goodluck to you ladies as i can,t wait to have another little bubby!

[Percy]

Im in the same boat. I really need to drop 20 kilos before i even think about another baby.

We are hoping to try at the end of the year, so i have some work to do!:eek:

[Little Gorilla]

[mumtok&z]

I want to lose weight before having another baby too. I would like to loose at least 20 kg. Today mum and i bought these tablets that we used a few years back that worked wonders. They are some sort of Indonesian herbal concoction and they help with shaping the body too.
