Is This Hitting Close to Home?

If you're plus size and pregnant (or trying to conceive), you might be feeling…

  • 😕 Confused by conflicting advice online
  • 🩺 Frustrated that medical appointments focus only on your weight
  • 🛍️ Disheartened by the lack of maternity clothes that actually fit
  • 🤔 Wondering what your bump will look like—or if you’ll even look pregnant
  • 💭 Worried that your body isn’t capable of a healthy pregnancy

You are not alone. And none of this is your fault.

Many people who can become pregnant live in larger bodies—yet most pregnancy resources still don’t reflect or respect our lived experiences.

That’s why I created this guide:

To offer honest answers, empowering support, and evidence-based care information designed specifically for you.

Imagine If You Felt Supported Every Step of the Way

Instead of feeling dismissed, confused, or alone during your pregnancy…

  • 💛 You had clear, compassionate guidance tailored specifically for your body.
  • 💛 You could walk into prenatal appointments feeling informed, confident, and prepared.
  • 💛 Embracing your changing body felt empowering—not shameful.
  • 💛 You finally stopped Googling and started trusting yourself and your care decisions.

Now, all of that support is in one place—a trusted, size-inclusive guide built to meet your needs and uplift your experience.

  • I've learned things that I never gave much thought to in my first pregnancy, but that has made this second pregnancy much easier, and empowered me to have the pregnancy and birth that I want. It's given me the tools I need to make this my own experience and not fall into the “obese pregnancy” trap that some providers set.

  • “As a plus size doula, plus size midwifery student, and plus size woman, this guide is everything. I recommend this guide to every woman who identifies as plus size. This guide is so relatable, and the audiobook is so personable. I love that Jen talks about every topic, including sex, where to shop, how your body changes, and the things that are hard to talk about. I can't say enough wonderful things about this book.”

  • My Plus Size Pregnancy Guide and podcast helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. I remember when I found out I was pregnant, and I was ecstatic. Then the nerves showed up. I called up my aunt who was a labor and delivery nurse and asked her, “Do fat people have babies anymore?” 😂 Feeling seen and empowered is so necessary during pregnancy, and I am so grateful to Plus Size Birth for helping me feel that way. I appreciate how grounded in evidence the information is. It helped me advocate for myself. For example, I got up the nerve to ask for a larger blood pressure cuff. Voila! A more accurate reading. I’m so grateful for My Plus Size Pregnancy Guide.

  • My wife and I have been trying to conceive for about three years now. In all my googling, I became absolutely and utterly convinced that the only reason I wasn’t getting pregnant was because of my weight. And then I found Jen’s podcast, which led me to her book, and now her audiobook. I tell you it was like the clouds parted and angels sang. Her research was evidence-based that I could have a healthy and safe pregnancy, that I was worthy of care, and that I was absolutely not alone.
