I was having a look at the discussion and in the hospital where I
was a member of a Midwifery Led Unit, the exit criteria for weight
was (and is) a BMI of 40 at booking. Anyone below that BMI who
is booked in the MLU has automatic access to waterbirth and in
any case, weight is not part of the waterbirth policy in either the
Midwifery Unit or the Obstetric Unit.
