I was very candid about my anxiety around pregnancy, but everything she said only seemed to make my anxiety worse. She kept mentioning my BMI, & insinuated that my slightly elevated BP might be from that, though I told her that I often have higher BP readings at the beginning of the appointment due to nerves (indeed, my BP reading at the end of the appt was normal). She also thought I should be
