What would happen if you refused to be weighed at your booking in appointment

[JamieJay]

This is only a theoretical question, hope that's okay and isn't wasting peoples time

Talking to a friend about tests etc. in pregnancy and a womans right to refuse these if she doesn't want them.

But, what would happen if a woman refused to be weighed at the booking in appointment, our LHB classes anyone over BMI30 as high risk, but if they can't weigh the woman how can they assess if she's over BMI30?

Would they automatically class her as high risk just in case or could you end up with someone they class as high risk having care applicable to some low risk?

Can you guess that I was bored and prone to over thinking today!!

i wasnt weighed either time

I was first weighed just before my scan right after I'd drank about a litre 1/2 of water!! I'm sure that must have added a few lbs!!

My BMI is just over 35 (well was after I'd had all that water) anyway it puts me in a high risk cat. But I have not been weighed since and the MW put low risk BMI on my notes.... weird

i got weighed at my booking in , she asked if i wanted a home birth and i asked if my weight would be an issue ,she said they only rule out a homebirth if your bmi is 38 or above ,so im ok aslong as i dont put on huge amounts of weight
