Plus Size Pregnancy Resources


By Cathy Smith
As a plus size gal, I find that my clients feel pretty comfortable talking about weight issues with me. I've met some amazing women of all sizes and I've come across some great resources on everything from VBAC scare tactics to snarky blogs for plus size ladies.  Here are a few of my favorite blogs, books, and other resources for the beautiful women I serve:

Books:

Birthing From Within by Pam England and Rob Horowitz
Born in the USA: How a Broken Maternity System Must Be Fixed to Put Women and Children First by Marsden Wagner
Journey into Motherhood: Inspirational Stories of Natural Birth by Sherri Maneli

Blogs:

Health at Every Size - blogs about various health topics.

The Fat Nutritionist: Eating Normal is the New Black - blog from a registered dietitian who helps spread positive light on our bodies and food choices.

Evidence Based Birth - non biased source for current evidence based research and information on pregnancy and childbirth.

Midwife Thinking - Blog from a midwife on resources and news articles and to share knowledge and her opinion.
