High BMI, Plus size, Obese, High Risk … all labels you may have heard or being told in pregnancy. How does a plus size pregnancy alter your care, should it? What are the possible risks and what can you do to ensure a supported, positive and empowered pregnancy and birth regardless of your body’s size.

On this weeks episode I am joined by a specialist plus size pregnancy midwife, Alice Keely, with 15 year’s experience working with plus size pregnancy she is here to give such holistic and supportive advice and information which is really lacking in this field.
