Anyone refused to see consultant over BMI ?

Just wondering. MW said I will probably get a letter asking to go and see him and be under his care because of my raised BMI. I have had two normal pg and births and want a water homebirth this time. I am completely aware of risks more so than most people and will have a hb if I think its safe to do so and providing there are no complications during this pg. I do not see the point of going to the appt when hes going to tell me Im high risk, cant have hb, must be cons led care etc etc

so has anyone else declined a discussion with their consultant? and what happened next?

Can I just point out that this thread was started in January 2010, so there is little point addressing your comments to the OP, she will hopefully be dealing with a stroppy toddler!

Yep it's your choice whether you have any intervention or testing or not but speaking less than 6 months after a close family member had a still born baby with encephalitis because she declined intervention, scans or (her words) "unnecessary tests" , I would question whether you are making these choices for your own sake or that of your child's.

I have insulin dependent gestational diabetes and will not risk the health of my unborn child by being too proud to get the best care necessary for her.
