Too fat to TTC?!

[Bec1302]

I am very obese but desperate to get pregnant. Should i wait and try to lise weight first or just go for it?

why not do both at the same time?

Depends how old you are really.
If time is not on your side, crack on but try to lose weight at the same time.
If you have time to play with, then lose weight first.
You will have a much better chance of falling pregnant and of having an uncomplicated low risk pregnancy if you are a healthy weight.
My personal experience is that I get pregnant much more easily if I am a healthy weight.

Best of luck.

I’m overweight and TTCing while also dieting. TTC can take a long time, so I didn’t feel it’d be worth waiting for months. I was a bit overweight when I had my DS but no complications, I was just told not to gain any additonal weight. I’m back at slimming world in the new year, as you can continue that plan into pregnancy.

I’ve read that even if you lose 5-10% of your body weight it can greatly improve your health and chance of conception.
