Not to give up the bariatric chair for the obese lady?

[AKMD]

I?m 33 weeks pregnant and had an obstetric consultant appointment yesterday afternoon. The antenatal clinic waiting room was packed and there were quite a few women standing up as there weren?t enough chairs. I had been waiting for over an hour as the consultant was running behind schedule and was sitting in the specially wide, reinforced bariatric chair as that was the only one available. A lady came in who was clearly very obese, looked around and saw me sitting in the bariatric chair and came over to stand beside me. Was AIBU not to spring up and offer her the chair? I would have done if there had been any other seats free for me to move to. I did feel a bit bad about it afterwards but TBH I'd been waiting to sit down for ages and felt that she could wait like everyone else.

or wot gordon ramsey is?

Ok, I've decided I wasn't being unreasonable (gavel). This thread may now be used for the purpose of discussing obesity circles and eclairs

was she pregnant as well (or couldnt you tell) if she was in the antenatual clinic?

oh i like a self defining AIBU thread
with MY gavel

Lol Roche - yes, why am I here?

Poledra - they sell cock rings in Asda amongst the condom products, I was browsing one day whilst waiting for prescription.

i am disappointed there wasn't more stealth tbh

when we have another of those "what has mumsnet taught you" threads i can add my new word bariatric to the list

you were being unreasonable knowing the secret name of great big comfy chairs

and where to buy cock rings

Sat here laughing at obesity circles (laughing at own joke must the be the defining sign thatyou have lost your mind I think) and the doughnut.

Bloody bariatric chairs.

GetOrfMoiLand - you excel on this thread!

sometimes i find myself chortling at stuff i have written on old threads under various names

Slightly disappointed that this thread seems to be running out of steam now and we haven't had an influx of people shrieking that this is discrimination against the obese cue --swiss-bunfight.

This aint the MN I know and love.

not to mention barbers chairs and barbaric chairs

"YABU and so are the other adults in the rool who didn't ask the children to get off the seats! "

Totally agree.

goml come and talk on sleb twaddle

I do.

I work in a hospital.

Bariatric stuff is becoming more prevalent as people get bigger.

As an aside all operating tables in my trust have the maximum weight limit on them & we quite frequently find that patients are too heavy for the table in the particular theatre they are meant to use and have to do a jiggle about. A typical table will hold 140kg person.

Thanks Quint!

Roche where have you gone with your round foods?

Where are the bagels, paris-brests, victoria sponges etc.

Ooo, back on topic! Skidoodle - why should anyone else have given up their seat? Agree that toddlers could have moved to the floor but it was the antenatal clinic i.e. every woman there was pregnant.

PSML at gasman actually coming on here with serious comments and table maximum weights.

Gasman where is your round food?

I wish I wouldnt get bigger.

I need to lose at least half a stone.

how did we get onto cock rings

Gasman, when a friend of my mum's went in for an operation the table was only insured up to 20 stone and they had to get one from a VET. So the story goes. How embarrassing to be on a table meant for a horse.

OK. OK.

I typed too slowly!

I'm going to flounce off now
