On second thoughts i may be putting this in the wrong section, Im sorry, please move if thats the case. :S

This pregnancy Ive had issues. I'll be honest.

But what I have noticed is that the hospitals obsession with the good ol' BMI puts more women at risk of developing ante natal depression. This entire pregnancy the hospital and my ob has focused rather rudely on my weight, how much I weighed before pregnancy, how much weight I put on during pregnancy and of course my weight loss plan once I have given birth. The pressure of this is crazy. I find out a few appts ago that I needed to gain more than 20kgs before I had to be transferred to another hospital. but for most of the time my ob had told me I couldnt put on more than 2kgs.

But the whole focus on weight because of this whole BMI thing cant be good for pregnant women. And the more I think about it, it really can be a trigger for AND. yet one of the signs of AND is that a woman doesnt put on weight, or she loses it. No interest in eating etc...
