Never heard of them doing this before.
Any other clues as to what they might do?
Sounds a bit odd to be honest particularly if you are low risk otherwise,

TBH, sounds a bit OTT, I think just view it as a midwife review and see how it goes.
Good luck

Probably talk about increased risk of things like diabetes and dvt. So discuss diet, things to look ot for.
