        I can remember being pregnant with my son and being told I was over weight by my midwife but the thing was she was so much bigger than me, I’m all for it but don’t preach to someone that they are overweight when in fact you yourself are overweight and work for the NHS

        She wasn't preaching. She was giving you information so that you could make informed choices about your health. Midwives are people too, her being overweight doesn't mean she can't give health advice

        Dear M Barnier. Whatever assurances you get, would not stop a future PM from simply tearing any agreement up, rather than trying to renegotiate it.

        I expect pregnant women can use the no word should they object to being weighed. Somehow the wording makes them sound like breeding cattle.

        I’m size 12, 5”10 - gained 3st during pregnancy, lost >2st of it by day 9 post-birth & still dropping. Baby was >10lb, 2.5l of amniotic fluid & a big placenta - a generic gain figure for every1 doesn’t sound sensible, several factors should come in surely e.g. fluid retention?

        No one has to get weighed if they don’t want to. The midwife can hardly make them. What’s she going to do? Drag them on there?

        Like most health related advice a one size fits all can't be applied however it's helpful advice all the same; just open your eyes to the very sad situation of our overweight child population
