I am a bigger girl (over 100kg even when not pg), I live in a smallish town/city & my hospital has never mentioned my weight as a concern. Only a level 3 care nursery in my hospital.
My first pg saw my waters break at 31wks where I was sent to Monash Medical Centre in Clayton (again no mention of my weight) where I ended up having an emergency c-section at 32wks (no idea of exact weight at time of c-section but would have been 120+kg) I didn't have any problems & wasn't told of any complications that could have occured that would have been caused by my weight.
Again while pg this time my weight is over 115kgs so far & again no mention of my weight in regards to my birth plans has been made. My Dr's only concern is in regards to my BP, so the plan is to try & not put on too much weight to try & keep my BP as stable as possible for as long as possible.
