Would like some guidance.
I'm currently about a stone lighter than I was when I conceived DD1. I wasn't at all overweight then (BMI of around 22.5), but have been ill recently and lost quite a of weight. Before getting ill (ie after having DD) I was about half a stone heavier than I am now.
We're hopefully going to start TTC another baby in the new year, and I was wondering whether I need to put on some weight. I'm currently a healthy BMI (20.5 ish) and my body fat is over 20% (had it measured), but I'm aware that I'm a lot lighter than I was when I fell pregnant before.
What are people's views/experiences? If I'm ovulating at this weight then do I need to put on any more? Does the fact that I conceived (easily) at a higher weight suggest that I should try to get back up to that weight? I realise there's nothing to lose in putting on the weight, but I don't want to put on weight for no reason if I'm already healthy.
Thanks.
