Hi t,

I'm in Melbourne.

I want to be able to have children, but I'm now worried I'll take all this
weight off, have the body I've always wanted and then ruin all that
hardwork with a baby!

this is a real dilema for me, it's quite serious, the fact that I'm
thinking about adoption or at the least cesarean delivery with a tummy
tuck.

It sounds silly, but if you have struggled looking fat for so many years
and you now have the chance to be the person you are on the inside, am I
really going to go and throw it all away getting pregnant?

Heya C

I put on nearly 20kgs with my first baby. trust me i know what you are
talking about lol. but with my second, i knew i had to limit myself. so it
was 12kgs. i didnt automatically think OMG wow. i can eat for two. you can
have babies without putting on a load of weight. you really can. of course
its just my opinion!!!! however, i would hate to think you miss out on the
joy of children, for fear of gaining weight. you can watch ur weight and be
pregnant and have perfectly healthy children. But that decision is yours
alone, or rather, sorry, you and ur partners. but know that just cos you get
pregnant, doesnt mean you throw away all the hopes of having the body or
person you really are. i had two cesearean deliveries. not sure what you
mean how it will benefit having one of them. its big decisions tahts for
sure.
