Web Design

Solid advice for the “big, beautiful and pregnant” woman.Written by an obstetrician who specializes in plus-size pregnancies, and a childbirth professional and plus-sized mom herself, this witty and down-to-earth guide will help expecting mothers navigate their nine-month “adventure.” While plus-sized women are at a higher risk for certain complications during pregnancy, by receiving the right care, they can help minimize weight-related pregnancy issues. The authors offer non-judgmental nutritional and exercise information, and plenty of practical advice for finding support and getting the most out of pre-natal medical care and the entire pregnancy experience. Interspersed throughout the text are inspirational and motivational stories from a diverse group of plus-sized “sisters,” who discuss everything from their relationships with food to maternity clothes to giving birth.

Plus-sized women who are expecting, as well as those planning to have children, will find practical advice and warm reassurance.
