**HELP!!** Lose weight or ttc?

Question

I am 23 and about 30lbs overweight but am currently working on losing weight. The question I keep asking myself is if I should tell my husband that I want to hold off on ttc until I've gotten healthy or just keep ttc?
Background: My husband and I have been married for a year and a half and have been ttc for about 4 months and have already had a miscarriage.
He is currently 30 and is very fit and lately I've been going back to the gym with him to try and shed some weight and get healthy but the more I go the more I find myself wanting to hold off on ttc until I get back in shape or at least get healthier but at the same time I don't want him to be an old dad. So again, do I tell him I want to hold off on ttc until I get healthier or do I not say anything and just keep ttc?

Answer

If YOU want to get healthier first, do that. Having a baby is a 2 person decision and if you feel it's best to wait a bit until you lose the weight you want, tell your husband! If you have any inkling of a doubt about ttc I would talk to your husband. Communication communication!!

Answer

Start eating right first and lose the weight! The healthier you are the healthier the kid will be. There have been studies proving kids born to obese moms usually have lower IQs and health issues. Google it.  Not to mention the risk of complications during pregnancy that could hurt both of you. And if you gain a little during pregnancy that would mean losing 50ish possibly, more work when you're already tired from a kid O.o

Answer

I wanted to lose some weight before getting pregnant but we still had unprotected sex and I tracked my ovulation.. we got pregnant right away.  I didn't lose any weight but I was eating healthier and spending more time outside :)
