Can Loosing Weight Hinder Pregnancy?
Hello, me and my husband are wanting to get pregnant. I recently stopped taking my birth control medicine. I have no idea how long it is going to take for me to get pregnant. I am also unhappy with my weight at the moment. I was wondering if I start to lose weight while we are trying to get pregnant could this hurt my possible pregnancy in any way?

Hi,
Weight loss before getting pregnant is advisable, as ideal body weight before pregnancy, leads to a uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery.
Overweight and obese women are known to have more complications.
So, it would be advisable for you to get to your ideal body weight, by diet and exercise. You could get in touch with a dietitian for a good diet plan. Also, you should try for a baby for a year's time, if unsuccessful contact a fertility specialist.
Hope this helps.
