Hi Guys. I'm new to the forum today and I'm getting very pre-occupied with the thoughts of trying for a 2nd baby. I had my son when I was 34 and 12 stone - everything was completely fine. I really wanted to have another baby when my son was 3 so a 3 year gap. He's now 3 and half and my husband is not keen for us to try for a baby until I lose weight. I now weigh 13 st 12lbs BMI 31. I'm 38 today (boo hoo) and now I'm stessing more about my age rather than my weight. I've lost over a stone since February but weight is coming off very slowly. I want to try to get pregnant now cos I'm terrified of then being too old. What should I do? Wait and lose more weight or start trying now before I get too old? I know there are high risks in pregnancy when overweight and also late 30's its just a which is the greater risk? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm quite fit, exercise loads, non smoker and drink very little. I've a coil (Mirena) fitted. What do you think? Wait or go for it?
