What is wrong with doctors?!

I am constantly reading about doctors who refuse to treat women because they are “overweight.” I have had the same problem with doctors. I had one before I moved said there was no way I could get pregnant because of my weight and even refused to even check my hormone levels. I moved got a new doc and they are completely different.

The first thing she said when I talked about wanting to get pregnant was “that’s great!” She ran blood right away, my hormones were all normal, I told her I wanted to start dropping weight she told me not to, I was perfectly healthy and if I wanted to eat “healthier” and maybe take long walks that would be fine but stressing my body out dieting and heavily exercising would have a counter effect on my body.

I guess what my point is ladies, if you want to lose weight, do you, do what makes you feel good, but these shitty ass doctors who perpetuate the over idealized image of what a woman should be to do things is bullshit. Your doctor shouldn’t make you feel bad, they should empower you to good health. Baby dust to everyone!
