could i get away with it?

Hi

my BMI is 31; although the booking midwife tried to make out thats a risk factor (even though in the local guidelines it says a BMI of greater than 35) she didn't say anything about me not being able to have a homebirth, but maybe thats because I've had a successful one before as well as precipitous labours which means its unlikely I will get to hospital in time should I suddenly go into labour...

i have a much higher bmi than that and rheumatoid arthritis and they have no problem with me having a water birth. xx

Interesting... not quite sure what my BMI is right now but I will find out soon when i go to my first midwife appointment.

is it strange that i dont actually get weighed at my booking in appointment with my midwife though and actually at my 12 week scan/appointment at the hospital? xx
