Hmmmm....title says it all I guess; I had my first baby 9 months ago and put on a fairly spectacular 4 stones. I've lost 3 but to be honest I was trying to lose one before I got knocked up so basically I'm 2 stones off my ideal weight.
The thing I'm struggling with at the mo is, do I try to get shot of the 2 stones first before trying for another baby? Or is it easier to get to ideal and then try? Don't want to end up not losing the weight and waking up after a couple of kids to find have ballooned to gigantic proportions and have to spend the rest of my adult life stressing and dieting.
I find it pretty slow going, this losing weight malarkey. I am determined I won't put on so much next time (had no kitchen until a month before the birth, it didn't help!) but even so, should the weight be more important than getting a decent age gap between DS1 and any subsequent nippers? (whatever a decent age gap would be! I give up, it's all too much to think about!)
Any thoughts?
