Well. Apparently overweight woman should not be pregnant. According to the OB I saw at the hospital today.
I also apprently choose to be fat.
I am so angry at this doctor. He constantly contradicted himself throughout the appointment and was incredibly insensitive...
He even told me I have put my unborn baby at risk by overeating and being lazy... I'm sorry - you have cameras installed in my house so that you know what I do all day, every day? Because they would be wrong. I do not over eat and I am incredibly active.
Oh and because of my high BMI, I am going to get pre eclampsia and diabetes. Pardon? That's right! I realise my risk for these things is higher because I am overweight but it DOES NOT guarantee that I will get them.
Oh yes and by being overweight, I make their job harder because they have to work harder at palpatating my belly to feel the fundal height... He actually said those words!
So ladies, I ask you, am I alone in being overweight with a high BMI?
Lets band together and make each other feel not so alone!
Those that have gone on to have healthy babies - tell me and put my mind at rest!?
