I don't know why I am only just reading this thread!

I've been feeling exactly the same. I was terrified people would think I was being irresponsible for getting pregnant while very overweight. This pregnancy was a surprise, I was intending to lose weight before trying, but now we are pregnant I am so excited and just really anxious to do everything I can to mimise the risks.

I have also lost weight (approx 8kgs) mostly due to m/s. My GP hasn't weighed me once and i've been too embarrassed to bring it up with her. I get referred to my OB this week so i'll leave it to discuss with him.

I'm 167cm tall and weigh 92kg. Most people are surpsied when I tell them how much I weigh (or maybe they are being kind - not sure). And Dr's have always said i'm in perfect health apart from the weight - BP is always good, periods are always regular (before I became PG), and i'm fairly active. So I keep hoping this is enough to pull me and the baby through ok. But it is a concern - especially when I read certain hospitals wouldn't accept me because of my BMI.

I have tried researching weight management during pregnancy on the internet - I know being pregnant isn't the time to go on a diet. But I have read about lots of cases where women eat really well and still naturally come out even or even lose a bit (mostly courtesy to m/s in the first trimester). I intend to talk it over with my OB. I also heard that weight watchers have special eating plans for pregnant and lactating women - so I was thinking of giving that a try. Has anyone done that?
