to think that I'm not overweight?

[CaraDeanna]

Went to midwife the other day. Was told my BMI is 25.3 and I'm overweight... I've NEVER felt overweight. I am fit, I ran a marathon last year in 3 hours, I walk an hour every day, go to the gym regularly, am a size 10, but my midwife is sure I am overweight based purely on my BMI. Is it really that accurate? AIBU to completely ignore this? Never felt fat in my life and am feeling pretty awful!

Why would she measure your BMI when you’re pregnant? It’s not exactly a true representation of your weight as you should be expecting to put on some weight whilst growing a new human being. I don’t get it.
I mean if she thought you were overweight to start with and was monitoring your weight gain, then fine but this! Just seems like madness.

I hate bmi, in my first pregnancy i was overweight despite me being a normal size 14 (and active with lots of muscle) at the start and 8 weeks i was down to a 10, i lost 40lbs in 6 weeks but because of my bmi, they didnt see it as serious.. I had hyperesmis gravida (hg) or extreme vomiting and vomited up to 50 times a day literally. Its stupid that midwives cant see whats in front of them, to hell with bmi. I was clearly losing weight rapidly.

2nd pregnancy lost 70 pounds in a couple of months, i didnt seek help early enough as wanted to try to get by and the whole midwife thing had put me off, I became so ill that i was hospitalised at 16 weeks, where they tried to break the vomiting with injections and i was on a drip.
I was not taken seriously at the start of this pregnancy again, because of bmi, and then i stayed away as had no strength to battle them, staying in bed, being helped to the toilet but vomiting 24/7.
I had hg the whole pregnancy and was induced a month early as my mental health was deteriorating and my body couldn't take the strain any more. I ended the pregnancy 90 lbs down and the day I gave birth was the day, i celebrated by taking the newborn into burgerking and having a meal without vomiting.

But anyway, hate bmi.
