Hi, I'm pregnant and my bmi is currently 48. I'm terrified of the midwives and doctors being nasty along the way. I was trying to lose weight before we got pregnant, but it's happened and I'm over the moon.
Can anyone share any positive stories to out my mind at rest as I'm scared.
Thank you

Mixed experience with being obese, I had the consultant who was prodding around on the day I had my baby, looking at the screen with another member of staff and say this is such an such, and the rest is fat. I think that was disgusting but not completely surprised.

Hi OP, if you are on Facebook, I recommend joining the private group “the heavyweight midwife”. I have found it very useful and lots of positive stories on there. Congratulations x
