I had my booking in appointment yesterday and have been told my bmi is at 30, so I'll have to have the glucose test for diabetes. I knew I was a little overweight, but I'm a size 12-14 (albeit short) so I'm really shocked that I'm considered obese. I feel totally miserable about it, and worried about how it will affect my pregnancy. I'm struggling to get excited about the scan pic and wriggly baby in there, and just want to cry at how I've let myself get into this mess. I know I didn't really shift my post baby weight from dd but where does that leave me? I eat fairly healthily, exercisr (swim/walk) when I can, and the MW told me to do nothing extra as it's not really considered a big issue at 'only' 30 bmi. Yet I'm now officially obese :-(
(not really sure what I hope to gain from posting here, just need to vent!)
