just because your overweight doesnt mean you will have a big baby and how much weight you put on doesnt mean that either I know I gained 70 lbs with my son for him to weigh 7lbs 4oz so all that is not true. the reason a baby is bigger usually is if you have Gestational Diabetes or some people just have big babies but the weight doesnt contribute to that.

I am over weight, but had lost 4 stone before TTC and it worked, but it is strange how thats all that the medics seem to put everything down to, they are like oh its your weight, and i am like well what the jeff would you have said if i was 4 st heavier!!!!!!
the sonographer had the damn nerve to write on my 20 week scan notes that the bisibility was reduced due to maternal habitus, which in laymans speak means i am FAT!!!!! what made me mad was that when i was 12 weeks and baby was smaller and i was about the same size, the visibility was perfect, nothing to do with the face she told me to empty my bladder!!!! ARGH!!!!! sorry rant over its nice to know you are all here !!!
ANywho, baby is of normal size according to measurements and i have 9 days til d day xxx
