I haven't felt discriminated as such, but I have had to own the situation IYKWIM, alot of hospital have a BMI cut off, so if you are over their cut off you won't be allowed to give birth there, I have had to do the GTT in all 3 pregnancies, I am classed as 'high risk' even though I have have had 2 very normal vaginal births. I have been pro- active though, and I went in on the offensive rather than the defensive, saying I thought it was a good idea to see the hospital dietician and asking what I could do to keep my weight gain low. I think if you go in knowing that there are some limitations placed on woman who are heavier, and be pro-active about it then you feel much better. Unfortunatly it is not a case of what whether it is right or wrong that these limitations are placed on larger woman, it is a case of just accepting what is, and empowering yourself to make the best of the situation.
