What a horrid man! Sounds like he's been in the industry for too long (not that that's an excuse!).

I have a low BMI- and guess what? I developed post labour pre-eclampsia. It can happen to anyone!

Forget what he said. The health of your child will depend largely upon the food you eat between now and the time he or she is due - not your BMI. Avoiding additives in food (ie- artificial colours and flavours etc), and toxins in personal care are also important factors. (Check out Julie Eady's 'Additive Alert', and Bill Statham's 'The Chemical Maze').

A brilliant guide (for low, medium, and high BMI's alike) for pregnancy is Francesca Naish's book- 'The Natural Way to a Better Pregnancy'. It also incorporates many factors other than diet like dealing with stress and avoiding post natal depression.

All the best for a happy and healthy pregnancy. I'm sure you'll prove that id**t doctor wrong!!

And Congratulations!!!
