Try not to worry, its important you see the mw. What doee thatbput your bmi as? They use bmi to judge risk, mine was a lot higher with my first than second pregnancy but at no point did they make me feel bad about it or upset me x
Sorry to hear you feel like that hun , most midwives are absolutley lovely and used to seeing people of all shapes n sizes , you are doing the most amazing thing in the world growing a baby , you should be very proud of youself for giving up smoking n not drinking , you are doing a great job x x
I wouldnt worry about you weight hun im 13stone and classed as overweight like tyou i know i need to loose weight and did loose (i was 16 before) but now since being preg ive stopped trying to loose and am just trying to eat everything in moderation so that baby gets everything that it needs! Im sure your midwife will support you and the fact you've given up smoking will show her that you are trying to do the best by your baby
let us know how you get on tomorrow x
