Am so pissed off, just a got back from 36 week appointment, have been weighed and now told that my BMI has tipped over 35 (even though the midwife stated that they don't recalculate!) this may mean I may be told to have the baby at a large hospital instead of the MLU where I want to deliver!

I'm so angry that they rely on this crappy scale! I'm completely healthy, normal pregnancy, GTT fine, measuring exactly right yet because I'm slightly heavier than they'd like this may now completely change everything!

If I do have to go to the hospital I'm going to be taking up a room that someone who is actually high risk may need, and tbh I just don't fucking want to go there!!!

Sorry for the rant, I've been in tears about this, I'm aware that I've put on some weight, I'm also highly aware I'm 8 pissing months pregnant! If I were actually obese or actually high risk then I could understand the concern but this has just made me so mad!!

Thank you for letting me vent ladies!
