hey hun i dunno how big you are but i think my BMI is higher then yours...i was 250lbs and 5'2 when i got pregnant with my last baby and noone once said anything about how over weight i was at my ob office. i did not end up with Gestational Diabetes or Pre-eclampsia or any other health problems. and i got an epidural. this time around i am still 5'2 and about 235 - 240lbs.

just make sure you watch what you eat no you dont have to go nuts over what your eatting just make sure that you do work in some healthy stuff and dont eat too much of the not so good for ya stuff and drink ALOT of water i mean ALOT i lost 22lbs in the begining of my last pregnancy and only gained 8 of it back in the end. you will be okay just remember not everyone knows exactly what is best for you and your baby only YOU can make that decision.
