I had my daughter at Sunnybank Private Hospital in QLD. My OB never weighed me which I found a little odd and throughout the pregnancy I put on about 12kgs making me to the grand total of 135kg. I had a c-section and nothing was ever said about a weight cut-off. After I had my daughter I lost 5 kgs straight away (she was nine pound four) and 2 weeks after that I was back down to 120kg (part from the fluid retention and part from not having time to eat). The only thing that they made me do was to wear those funky stockings to stop blood clots because I have an extremly large feral vein that pops out of my leg. I had no complications from having a c-section either. I was up the next morning at 5.30am, had a shower and I was walking up and down the halls of the hospital getting bottles. The physio even saw me on my second day there racing up the hall with a screaming baby to get a bottle and couldnt believe the nurses when they said Id had a c-section yesterday. I think if u go into it thinking positive and try your hardest, u will come out at the end ok. By the sounds of all the storys that u have been told, Im a complete success story and Im sure Im not the only one. U are probably only being told the bad stuff. Good luck with your delivery anyways.
