Sorry if this is the wrong place.
DH and I have agreed to try for a baby, I've had my implant taken out but I need to loose weight before we start.
I'm very overweight. Ideally I would like to pregnant Jan/Feb time. However this really only leaves me time to lose 3 ish stone.
I'm worried that I will lose my window of opportunity (I'm well aware the pregnancy will happen when it happens but I'm a planner!).
Realistically I'll be about 15-16 stone at ideal point of conception, hopefully I'll be well enough to continue with a gentle weight loss during the pregnancy hopefully dropping another couple of stone before the due date. But still making me overweight.
I'm getting mixed messages, gp said to try to improve my aerobic fitness but wasn't really specific about weight loss, my mum is petrified that being so big will be terrible and said I won't be able to have a c section. Friends are giving mixed messages too. So I'm just confused and worried.
Will being so big really make pregnancy so much harder? Will my choices be limited?
