I have major issues with the BMI including the fact that the chart itself it very antiquated not unlike the charts once babys are born in the health centre books.

Due to the BMI I have had several interesting appointments with the OB and midwife(through the hospital) I have a medical condition it's called Hyperemisis Gravidarum (pardon the spelling) Now as a consiquence I vomit excessivly and have trouble holding food and fluids and ultimatly end up in er on a drip to replace fluids.

Not my last two appointments but the one before I got a lecture from the midwife about starving myself as I had lost weight (common side effect of HG) actully I had lost 10kg. Not because I didn't want to eat just that I couldn't keep anything down. (Really it's not nice and I'm still having some trouble) The lecture was long and unnecessary. She wouldn't listen to me about the HG and didn't even look at my notes. Although handing her the latest note from the hospital that I was addmitted to(different hospital) was pure joy but she never once said sorry for the lecture.

I am doing better than I was and have gained 2 kg back from the 15kg I have lost over all. This pregnancy I had excess weight to loose so I don't get what all the fuss was about. pre pregnancy I was a size 2o and so out of proportion with my height. What I'm struggling to deal with now as in my other pregnancys is finding what maternity size I am due to the weight loss I am no longer a size 20. Size 16's are too big but 14's too small. Sigh nothing is easy
