1. Second pregnancy. First ended in miscarriage though
2. I've got pregnant easily both times only dtd once and catching both times
3. The information is fairly generic in how to take care of yourself whilst pregnant
4. My midwife is lovely and appreciates we arent all the same. Some are big some are small and thats ok so long as baby is healthy. My bmi did mean higher dose folic acid though
5. I either ask the midwife at appts or i have various pregnancy apps, ask on this forum or search on google
6. Yes
7. I think its worth seeing the difference between how obese and healthy weight can affect pregnancy and also that losing weight during pregnancy is okay. Advice on safe weight loss and how to measure it is being done safely would be good. Advice that if bmi is too high you cant have water births etc. Perhaps exercise to try.
8. Most information we already probably know but seeing it in writing is just confirmation really
