I wondered, as a plus size woman, how my belly would look pregnant. As months passed by I watched my friends’ bellies pop and couldn’t help but to question: Where is my bump?

I created a safe space to have a natural childbirth in a hospital by limiting people in the room, wearing my own clothes, and setting the right tone.

While I always thought I would breastfeed, my breastfeeding detour taught me to take care when setting expectations for myself as a mother.

Thanks to eating right, staying active, and finding a loving and caring birth team, I had a very healthy plus size pregnancy! 

My life will be forever changed by the transformative experience of a plus size natural childbirth with a midwife. This is Braeden’s birth story…

Plus Size Mommy Memoirs is my new labor of love following a beautiful pregnancy and birthing experience.
