My husband and I would like to have another child. We have a 3 1/2 year old daughter. I am over weight by about 100lbs and would like to loose the weight first. I have been working out daily doing an hour of cardio. Every time the subject of us having another child comes up with family, friends and strangers - no one understands why I want to loose the weight first. I always get the same answer - why work hard to loose the weight now when you are just going to gain it back and have to loose it again. I was a little over weight with my first child and had a very difficult pregnancy. I was on bed rest the majority of the pregnancy because of my blood pressure and ended up having her a month early by c-section. I just want to have a good healthy pregnancy this time. If I can prevent a repeat of what happened last time by being healthier then to me I should atleast try. My husband goes back and forth. He can't decide. So what do you think - start trying now or wait till the weight is gone?
