Being Plus Size & Pregnant, Do You Feel Your Dr. Treats You Unfairly Simply Because of Your Weight?

I recently read a study about how doctors are frequently less warm, less friendly, and less personable toward patients who are overweight or obese. I've also seen a lot of posts in this group about doctors who treat you downright unfairly throughout your pregnancy simply due to your weight (e.g. doctors classifying you as high risk even after tests declare you're actually healthy, hospitals refusing to allow women over a certain weight/BMI to deliver there, or a doctor pretty much guaranteeing to you early in the pregnancy that you'll absolutely get pre-eclampsia/GD later in the pregnancy simply because of your weight). Have you personally experienced this sort of treatment from a medical professional/entity during your pregnancy?
