Obese and panicking

[FatMum2Be]

Hi Guys.
So I am approx 7 weeks pregnant I was overjoyed when I found out - until I went to see the GP I’m super obese or whatever the terminology is and I just feel stupid for letting this happen

I have to be referred to a consultant, midwife tomorrow and it looks like I am going to cost the NHS millions cause of the additional help I am going to need. I am so scared

Scared imthey won’t be able to scan baby cause I’m too fat, scared I’ll die in childbirth but most of all I am scared i this baby won’t male it and it is all my fault.

I would love to hear genuine stories of obese pregnancy, Labour, etc

Hello!

I am nearly 17 stone so I am a big girl myself. So far no one has ever said anything hurtful about it to me. I am 14 weeks 2 days and the only thing they have mentioned is that I have to see the diaetitian to make sure I am eating right and I don’t end up with diabetes (I do SlimmingWorld where I have already lost 3 stone) so I know I’m eating well although not being super strict atm as it’s also not good to diet whilst pregnant.

I wouldn’t worry much about it, at the end of the day our bodies are made to create life, regardless of how little or big you are. I would just say try to be as healthy as you can for your baby and that will be more than good enough! ��
