Doc says..😒

Well, just had my annual physical and mentioned to my doc we wanted to start trying for baby #2. He took my height and weight, my BMI came to 29.8. I weight 142 and am 4'11". He said I'm in the overweight range and he would ideally like to see me lose 20lbs before I get pregnant. He didn't say I shouldn't get pregnant but that he thought for my health and a for a smooth pregnancy it would be best. I gained almost 70lbs with my daughter, I went from 110lb to 178lb and most of my gain was in the last half of my pregnancy. ( My last pregnancy was very rough I was on bed rest from 20wks to 38wks when I had her.) I have lost almost 40lbs but have fell into a slump. I don't eat healthy, I never workout...I just sit around wishing it would go away. I really would like to have another baby and am having troubles waiting (we don't use any form of bc we haven't since Sept. and sadly no luck on the babyfront) although I know if I got pregnant in the back of my mind I would be beating myself up because my body wasn't ready. Would you wait and use protection until you get your body back and undercontrol? Or just keep trying to lose weight and get pregnant?
