Anyone plus size and pregnant?

I’m 100kg I have a few health conditions relating to my weight, I don’t over eat I’m very active and healthy.

This is now my 5th pregnancy due to losses and the midwives were incredibly rude to me re weight. I understand I’m not skinny, I understand the risks of higher bmi, unfortunately I just can’t lose weight very well naturally no matter what I try, and as I say, I do not overeat etc, they made me feel like shit and said I’ll definitely get gestational diabetes (I don’t with my first born) and I’ll need a c section cause I’ll have a fat baby.

I’m absolutely appalled and very upset by this,

Baby # 2

I found out on Saturday I’m pregnant with baby #2. I’ll be 4 weeks tomorrow. I’m excited but nervous. Advice for going from 1 baby to 2.

Risk assessment for pregnancy

I told my manager on Monday that I am pregnant (7+5) as I've been feeling quite tired and sick and thought she should know. I work in a nursery so the job is quite physical and involves lifting, cleaning etc.
She said she won't bother doing a risk assessment until I'm 12 weeks and that the pregnancy shouldn't impact how I work at this stage... not sure i agree with this, but not sure what I can say.
Any advice?

When to announce pregnancy?

I'm 10 weeks and my sibling is having a baby that is due any day now. Do I wait until after baby is born to announce my pregnancy so that I don't take the spotlight away from them? Or do I just do it when I'm ready?🤔

6week PP clearance

Has anyone not cleared their 6w PP exam? What was the reason and any early symptoms that you noticed?

Announcing before 12 weeks?

Hi guys, just looking for some opinions really. I’m about ten and a half weeks pregnant and dying to announce my pregnancy on my socials. We had a scan this Wednesday and baby looks absolutely perfect, wriggling around and waving at us so after that I’m kinda feeling like what am I waiting for?
Before pregnancy I was always going out so posting on my socials constantly and now I’ve went like radio silent which is so weird for me!!
This is my first baby and I’m just so excited for everyone to know. When did everyone else announce?

Nausea/Sickness 26 weeks

Hiya all.
26 weeks pregnant and the nausea/sickness is still there 😭 some days are good some days are bad, no where near as bad as the first trimester, that wasn’t fun. I am on anti sickness tablets which I feel are starting to loose their effectiveness. I also have a 3 year old aswell. Finding this pregnancy a lot harder than my first. Anyone else experiencing this? X
