High BMI water birth

[Emilymerison]

I have a consultation appointment on Monday with the consultant midwive to discuss options for water birth.. I'm nervous but hopeful after our discussion on the phone today. I have a high BMI

Does anyone have any suggestions for questions or things I should ask about? My minds going blank 🙈

Look up Dr. Sara Wickham and her book, Plus Size Pregnancy. Examines the actual evidence behind many incorrect assumptions/norms around giving birth as a larger woman.

Water births are great, btw! I hope you manage to have one x

I hope you get one. I had one in my Birth Plan but the ME said that the baby would probably arrive before the pool was ready and she did come very quickly
