I'm an overweight woman (BMI +40) and I had my first prenatal visit with the nurse today at 5+6. I came in early because I was afraid of micarrying again. But already so early I'm really scared about birth especially risk of cesearean or episiotomy, and God willing this will be a successful and healthy pregnancy and it would be a blessing I just can't shake the fear.
Especially reading about risks associated with women of size having a 50% risk of c section and all the different things and I'm so freaked out. Even though we've been trying for 2 years now I feel so unprepared and I guess I just never got to imagine the reality of the point after the BFP.
Hoping to hear encouraging stories from other women who are plus size
