Trying to conceive but overweight and worried this will hamper the pregnancy if I do become pregnant. Is it safe to start doing exercises and losing weight whilst trying to conceive?

Yeah it's safe hun. I'm classed as obese and we conceived 3 times in 10 months. Unfortunately we had 2 miscarriages before being blessed with our rainbow boy xx

You are right it might have effect on your fertility but might not. I was overweight during both my pregnancies. However loosing weight whilst trying to conceive is fine, however I wouldn't go on any crazy diets but rather eat well and cut out high sugary fried stuff etc
