Trying To Conceive + Plus Size Pregnancy
l
Are you plus size and pregnant or trying to conceive? You’ve found the right place!
Plus Size Birth promotes positive resources to empower healthy decision making for those who are having a plus size pregnancy or trying to conceive. By sharing personal stories, inspiring images, and practical strategies, you will find support and community!
I think it’s really important to talk about the realities of being plus size and pregnant. The options for nursing bras, maternity, belly bands & books are so minuscule that it’s insulting. I knew it was frustrating but had no idea until I found myself pregnant and searching for things and answers that didn’t exist until I connected with Plus Size Birth. Jen’s resources and support helped me throughout my pregnancy.
