In Episode 48 of The Edmonds Moms Room podcast Dr. Allison sits down with Christina Hughes, M.Ed, ICCE, founder of Big Fat Pregnancy, a birth nerd and fat activist. They dive into the relation between fat shaming and medical care during pregnancy and postpartum. Christina shares her personal story of being a fat person who created a support system during pregnancy that allowed her to have a healthy unmedicated homebirth after being told that even before conceiving that pregnancy and birth would not come easily or safely for. Christina provides support to folks who may have internalized guilt or shame regarding their weight, who fear that they won't be able to achieve their dream delivery because of their size and creates a safe space for them to ask questions and create a birth plan and team that will support them without shame.

After insisting on surgery it turns out it was stage 1 cancer! Not everyone feels comfortable questioning their doctor and insisting on further treatment but we are here to tell you if your body feels different, if you don't feel like yourself, if you KNOW something is wrong but maybe aren't sure exactly what. GET A SECOND OPINION!

You Matter, You Know Yourself Better Than A Doctor. We hear so often that "yeah at 6 weeks I was cleared but I still felt off and ____________ still hurt" or "I tried to tell them that this was going on and they blew me off or didn't take me seriously" Find someone who WILL LISTEN. ---> @bodymotionpt would love to help you 😉

You never ever want to be in a position thinking what if; I had caught it sooner, what if I had healed properly, what if I had made the time...BE PROACTIVE! Make the effort today and don't put your health at the bottom of your to do list!
