Maternity clinic is a haven of fat arse women Went to the clinic today to register since I'm expecting my second child, and jesus... Every. Single. Woman. Was fat. And not just "pregnancy fat" but genuinely, hippo-status fat.  And for some reason I ended up small talking with one of them (don't ask me why) "So how far along are you", "Oh, just 9 weeks". 9 WEEKS! The lady looked like she could lay down on the floor and give birth on the spot! Then at my meeting I straight out asked my midwife (a sweet, petite old lady) about the weight of expecting mothers these days. The midwife admitted that she has witnessed a most worrying trend with pregnant women not only being heavier than before, but also more likely to still smoke/drink/do drugs during the pregnancy. Our next generation of children is fucked guys. We're doomed.
