    What about tackling it upfront at the beginning of the appointment? You bring it to the table - say 'listen you've pointed out such and such about my weight at previous visits, I'm aware that I'm heavier, there's no need to go over it again. Week 35, excitement is building, please don't give me grief as it's not magically going to change things in the next 5 weeks' or something to that effect?

    I am always paranoid about weight comments, especially during my pregnancy (my Ob was pretty good) so I find if I bring it up first I'm more mentally prepared for any conversation that might follow. If that makes sense? And if you'd rather not have your DH there maybe just say you'll go on your own, but if you do want him to go just give him the heads up first, but like Bloom said, only if you think it will help.

    Hope all goes really well tomorrow

    Go you!!! Way to get your power back

    (I'm also impressed that your vagina is unchanged since your DD. Any tips?)
