The whole BMI thing - I remembered I saw this the other day and I quite liked the tone of it - non-judgemental but explaining why women with a higher BMI ought to see an aneastatist before going in even if not planning on a C-sec etc... Might be helpful to those out there that have a higher BMI?

Hiya,

I know I'm a bit over-weight & it makes me feel embaressed, angry and to be honest like bloody c**p when health professionals keep pointing it out to you! Just because my BMI is slightly higher this time than it was last time, they're forcing me to inject myself with clexane for 6weeks after bambino is born! I had it for 5 days last time & it left bruises all over me!!


Rant over!!

If i wasn't such a polite person i would say "I probably weigh less than you! Leave my weight alone!" :rotfl:

My BMI isn't that high! haha!! It's only a couple of points above what it should be but I'm getting treated like I weigh 45 stone! Maybe I should of explained earlier but I have a family history of DVT hense the moaning MW is doing about being a wee bit over-weight but I'm a perfectly healthy young woman so there's no need to be whinged at all the time!!

You're soo right! In the hosp where I had my daughter there's rather a large midwife who to be quite frank was a complete c** to me the whole night telling me that the straps to that horrible heartbeat tracer thing they strap you up to didn't fit right cause of my belly...I had to tell her that there was room to spare and they were only not fitting right cause her fat fingers were in the way!! I know it's not funny but I was sore at the time and she annoyed me, I would never have dreamed of saying anything like that before but looking back it was a wee bit comical!!

Hello all, haven't been on here for ages, I tried reading every post at one stage but just couldn't keep up and then didn't want to read anymore in case I lost the baby but I'm worrying less now, just had my 13week scan, all looking good and low risk for downs

Just wanted some advice on anti stretch mark creams. My sister recommended bio oil but it's really expensive. Can anyone recommend anything else or anywhere cheaper to get bio oil?
