This week we’re chatting to the amazing Steph O’Brien on her experience of pregnancy and birthing in a plus size body. Steph shares with us the challenges she faced in the medical system due to her BMI, and her journey advocating for herself to have the type of birth she wanted.

This is such a beautiful chat and an insight into what birthing can be like for women who are plus size, and what we can do to support them in achieving their birth outcomes. 

Steph is a Postpartum Doula living and working on Waddawurung Country in Geelong. She is incredibly passionate about looking after women and birthing people after their baby is born, as well as plus size pregnancy and birth. She's a mama, a wife, a gift-giver, a hugger, witty with a heart of gold (and a little bit sweary!). 

Steph has also generously given our listeners a discount to her course “BMI is Bullshit”. See below for more details!
