I am considered obese. Morbidly. I've never had a health problem my entire life. Never once had high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, heart problems, diabetes, or anything else im so often screened for. I try and go for long walks every day and most days do get this done. I love fruits and vegetables and water. I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Who is perfectly healthy in every way. This pregnancy has been flawless. I ended up getting a doctor who never once made me feel like what I was doing was wrong. She was wonderful. In reality a lot of doctors fear overweight women who are pregnant. There is a huge stigma. I'm considered a high risk pregnancy due to my BMI alone. I think this is bullshit. I can't have the birth I want because I'm fat. When in reality there is no more risk in delivering than someone else who is of normal weight. I see too often stories of women depressed throughout their pregnancies because doctors have scared the hell out of them and they've been denied free choice of birth. Pregnancy should be joyous. Not stressful. Yes, women who are overweight do have a higher risk of developing gestational diabetes. Do most of them? No. We are not classified high risk due to a medical problem, just die to the fact that we MIGHT be more prone to one. I repeat, bullshit. I thankfully have found a wonderful midwife who I hope will be able to help me have the delivery I want. My case is currently up for review due to my 'high risk status' and I shall find out next week if I am accepted. Wish me luck. Rant over.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
