Weight..... Is it an issue?

[jcox]

Hi lovely ladies!

I have my booking in appointment with the midwife this coming Friday. I will be nearly 8 weeks by then I think.

I just wondered if I would get a telling off for being big, sounds silly I know!

I'm a size 12/14 which in my opinion isn't huge but I weigh loads! My BMI is 28 when I think it should be 24 or something similar. To add insult to injury I have put half a stone on since finding out I was pregnant! I know! I don't remember gorging on rubbish food, it seems to be fluid retention because by the end of the day I look like I could give Mr Blobby a run for his money!

I guess I have a couple of questions. Does being big cause problems/complications and in anyone's experience is there anything I could be doing to help with bloating?

Thanks all! Xxxxxx

When i said to the midwife my weight i had put on 5lbs and she didn't seem to worry! i am also heavy and a siza 12/14 (which i know wont last long). i have no tips on how to keep the bloating down!

lol if you get told off i dread to think what they will say to me as im a size 20 normally and about 20 stone! i go up and down between a 16 and a 22 and vary between 16 stone and 20 stone every year or so depending on my mood and how my life has been going. stress and unhappiness usually kick off my food issues so i lose lots of weight then, when im happy i get fatter lol. my BMI must be nearly 40 and so i suppose technically im morbidly obese but after years of serious issues with food i have a really messed up relationship with food in general and so find it hard to eat sensibly, its all or nothing usually, so i dont diet often as i tend to get carried away. im gonna get such a nagging!

hey hun i think your BMI is all Bulls**t anyways, i am a 10-12 creeping into a 14 now i am pregnant. For my height ( 5'2) i should be 8 stone! wtf I weigh 11 stone and that makes my BMI 28. But I dont look overweight, even my midwife said to me its a bit odd. I have always weighed heavy but i did drop all my weight due to a drug issue and went to 8 stone ( like they say i should be ) and i looked emeaciated, i was gaunt, no ass and no tits. As long as your happy and healthy ( ish ) i am sure it wont be an issue hunny. Did you know that in China 28 is a healthy BMI.....them guys have the calculations right, anything over 28 is classes over weight. I am sure it doesnt matter too much
