I have just had my first baby at 40 and I too was / am 'overweight' with a 'high' BMI. Similarly, I also had quite a terrible time at a number of my ante natal appointments, the worst of which was the appointment to request a c section due to a chronic back injury, which left me in tears and my otherwise extremely placid fiance wanting to punch a wall at the end despite being granted the section! I have come across your story because I am currently doing research for my own blog and I have found it truly inspirational, thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569916960344212147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-22025703231244921052011-12-03T12:14:55.000+00:002011-12-03T12:14:55.000+00:00Thank you for your lovely comments xThank you for your lovely comments xexfashionistahttp://www.exfashionista.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-42090890142048178432011-11-29T19:51:56.000+00:002011-11-29T19:51:56.000+00:00Well done you! You proved that even if you don'...Well done you! You proved that even if you don't fit the stereotype expected of a pregnant woman, you still produced a beautiful, healthy child. It never ceases to amaze me how we all become public property when we're having a child, even to the people who should know better. Whatever happened to empowerment?! So glad you are loving your new life. Brilliant being an older mum, isn't it!

It's such a precious time and you kept it that way.

I sincerely hope she learns from your complaint and doesn't treat others in your position the same way. Great that you are enjoying motherhood, wish I could agree about the bedtime hour but after four years of it I am beginning to secretly hope Iggle Piggle's boat springs a leak!Lexie Bleasdalehttp://motherporridge.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
