I was bullied both pregnancies because of my size. Forced to have a GTT after my GCT came back perfect, made to see dieticians because I clearly wasn't eating properly. Told on numerous occasions that I was harming my baby by not losing weight( I won't go into detail but some of the comments were rather nasty). In actual fact I had a relatively normal pregnancy both times around, with no complications either time. It saddens me that some medical professionals are like this.

I would LOVE to see most OBS etc adopt the idea of giving larger people longer to birth and I know for certain that some will, but I can see now that it will be a minority more so than a majority. In my dealings with OBS and other maternity care professionals I've found that they tend to follow their books and rules rather than look at people on a case by case basis. Hopefully something will change soon.

And yes, one reason why I really was against csect FOR ME, was because of the fact I was much larger and my wound would most likely not heal as well as it should. That makes perfect sense to me.
