Hey! I have been to one of these. In a nutshell you see 3 different people. You see a consultant, an anaesthetist and a dietitian. Hope this helps!

@Olivia thank you so much! Can you take someone with you? I have high anxiety and with appointments such as these I’m a lot calmer with someone with me

Hey lovely, this got mentioned to me at my 38 week midwife appointment, so if you want to go go, but I'm having a home birth and my midwife team have been soooo supportive. I think if you're opting for a c section then possibly a good idea x

@Amy how did you get them to agree to a home birth with high bmi ?

Its your choice 😊 they can't decline you. You just go against their recommendations, which my home birth team have been really supportive of, my friends had home births last year and she's bigger and they said hers was the easiest birth they had been too!

@Amy well done you . I was forced into having a induction

@Billie-Jo I was able to take my partner with me!
