Plus Size Pregnancy Resources
Welcome to Plus Size Birth and the Plus Size Mommy Memoirs Blog! Wherever you are along your motherhood journey, we’re here for you with supportive resources and an uplifting community, specifically for plus size women.
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.
