Hi all
I have a BMI of 37.5 and have been put under consultant lead care due to this (cut off is 37).
My worry is that I believe I won't be able to be on a midwife lead unit with a birthing pool etc, which I really want.
My plan is to try and prevent any further weight gain through this pregnancy (essentially losing weight, but allowing for baby weight).
Do you think this will be enough to reduce my risk enough to get my ideal birth? 🤔
TIA
