Afraid to gain weight back during a third pregnancy

Hi everyone!

I am currently contemplating having a third baby (I know I want more just not sure on timing). My first two kids are 20 months apart and I love the age gap so my son is almost 10 Months old and if I want the same spacing I would need to be pregnant fairly soon with a third. However I am having a really hard time coming to terms with gaining weight with a third pregnancy.

Here is a little bit of my back story. I started my first pregnancy slightly overweight and gained about 50 lbs during that pregnancy. Then I did not lose all the baby weight before getting pregnant with my second. Now almost 10 month post having my son I have lost all of the baby weight plus about 30 more lbs. dropping from 224 to 150💪🏻💪🏻.

Can anyone relate to these feelings?? Can anyone provide insight as to pregnancy after weight loss? Or any tips for being fit and active during pregnancy...

Thanks for reading this! I know it was long! Just looking for people who have been in the same situation.

Here is a picture of me 9 months pregnant and then 9 months post baby #2!
