Your Plus Size Pregnancy

Your Plus Size Pregnancy

To be pregnant is something beautiful and exciting. However, it can be a little “scary” for first time mums or if you are in the plus size range.

Plus-size moms need additional encouragement, resources and information while they experience the change in their body as their baby grows. Sometimes issues such as weight gain and pregnancy can be a little confusing.

- How to gain the right amount of weight (because plus-size moms should gain weight during pregnancy)

- Ways to feel good about yourself and celebrate your pregnancy- How to find a health care provider who will support you and help you feel good about yourself

- Where to find maternity clothes and how to choose flattering styles

- Nursing as a plus-sized mom

- Vaginal birth versus C-section for plus-size moms

- Feeling good about yourself after the birth and how to lose weight after you’ve had the baby

- The impact of conditions such as PCOS and diabetes on pregnancy

- Understanding medical terms and how to interpret studies about weight and pregnancy

- Keeping your partner involved in your pregnancy

- Finding childbirth classes where you are comfortable

The above questions can commonly asked. Hence I highly recommend you to read Your Plus Size Pregnancy book.  The book contains information and quotes from real plus-size moms and their personal experiences on pregnancy, postpartum care and nursing.

Written by experts, Your Plus-Size Pregnancy is the result of a collaboration between a plus-size mom of two who is a pregnancy and parenting writer and a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist who is experienced in working with plus-size moms.
