We need to carefully consider how messages like this around obesity in pregnancy from @PHE_uk play out for women with higher BMIs. A thread, and thanks for flagging @MaritaHennessy 
We engaged with many women with higher BMIs in pregnancy. Many had been aware that obesity in pregnancy carried additional risks and had lost considerable weight before conceiving - yet they remained overweight. No-one took this into account.
Womens knew they were at higher risk but this risk was often not contextualised - as it isn’t in the @PHE_uk slide - the risk of stillbirth for example may increase but it still remains relatively low.
