My local hospital has a bmi limit on who can use birthing pools. At the start of my pregnancy I was just under the maximum acceptable bmi (its either 32 or 35, the midwife wasn't sure and my bmi at my first appointment was 30.5) do they work out your bmi again before the birth or go by your pre-super-fat-with-child weight? I'm seeing my midwife on Friday but am curious it anyone else has been in a similar boat. I know there's a chance I won't get to use a pool due to loads of other reasons as well but it seems ludicrous that I wouldn't be able to use it because i was an average size 14 when I got pregnant!
