Is it best to lose weight before conception or ttc whilst losing weight?

[greenbeanie]

I have a high BMI and need to lose weight. Not doing badly so far although still along way to go. We are desperate to have dc 3 and I will be 35 soon so don't want to leave it too long. Both previous pregnancies were problem free. What would you do?

Personally, I would carry on dieting and ttc at the same time.

That's what I was thinking, especially given my age.

Yep, I wouldn't risk leaving it later if I were in your shoes.

I actually went to the GP about this as I am overweight and wanted to ttc my first. His view was diet and ttc is the best approach and manage (or at least try to) how much weight you gain in pregnancy.

Good luck
