If I wanted to get pregnant how much would I need to lose to have a baby?

[KayKay89]

I'm, not planning to have a baby anytime soon, but if I did, I don't wanna be any heavier. I'm currently 5'8 or 9 and 215lbs. I'm losing weight to get healthier. I gained some of the weight back because I was depressed and graving about one of my close friend's death four months ago, but I'm losing it again. What would be a healthy weight for me to be if I wanted to have a child?

BQ: How much weir are pregnant women supposed to gain?

Since you're so tall, you could get pregnant now. Tall people can carry the weight better anyways. I'm not sure how much you need to lose but you're supposed to have some fat. Us women are supposed to have more fat in our bodies than men do.

I think you propably could get pregnant at that weight too but maybe if you lost 45lbs. Slight overweight is actually said to be good. Female body is supposed to have fat in it. Also when you are pregnant don't eat too much sweets.

I know us females are supposed to have more body fat for pregnancy, but I dont want to be overweight. I just want to he healthy enough to have a baby... when I decide if I want children.

I think 60 pounds is max. No more. You can lose weight after the pregnancy. If you are slightly overweight when you get pregnabt it's good, it's okay. You just don't let the weight go too much up while pregnancy. But honestly, I think you should have a conversation with a doctor. They will know the best.

But seriously, there is no idea to loose weight until you are super fit and then gain weight again when you get pregnant.

40-60 pounds is normal. You could get pregnant now, just eat healthy. Though walking may be hard right now. Exercise is good to an extant when pregnant so a weight that you can do this without to much issues

If I would of been pregnant, I would be more overweight which I dont want to be. I know women are supposed to put on weight.

You asked how much weight and I answered. I don't understand what you're getting at

Weight gain depends on the female. My wife for instance didn't gain more than 25lbs during both pregnancies. don't know she ate all the time
