Overweight TTC

[MarieeBarone]

Hoping to connect with women who are classed as overweight and TTC. Currently trying to lose weight to conceive #2. Relatively large age gap due to finances, hesitant partner (at first) and 2 miscarriages since December '18. The sadness resulting from the losses and consequent TTC is making the weight loss tough. Any tips? Any women in the same boat fancy sharing their story? Anyone lost weight and got their BFP?

I'm so sorry for your losses

Yeah, we lost a baby in december due to a chromosomal issue and we started trying a few months ago but got panicked. We've now met with the genetic counsellor again and feel better so are ttc from next month.

I've been trying all these months to diet and failing. Started running and now I'm finally managing it alongside slimming world. I still have days where I think ugh forget it I feel too sad but alongside counselling I'm doing okay.
It is hard

Sorry for your loss OP

I'm overweight and currently trying to lose weight to help when I/if I conceive

I've been on slimming world 7 weeks now and lost a stone

I just keep reminding myself why I am doing it

I've lost 2lb this week on slimming world... only another 7 stone to go. Lol. Good luck on your journey ladies! We'll get there x

Every journey begins with a single step... it's great that you're taking steps to lower your risk of serious complications during pregnancy.

I am really overweight and I’ve just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant❤️ Try not to punish yourself for being over weight there are many ladies who are overweight and fall pregnant xx
