The Birth Activists

S1 E5: Plus-size Pregnancy & Birth


Listen Later

In this episode, Samantha and I chat with fellow doula, Michelle, and plus-size mum, Sarah, about what it's like to be labelled with a high BMI during pregnancy and how this can impact on your birth choices.  This episode comes with a *TRIGGER WARNING* of obstetric rape and violence, sexual assault and infant death.

Michelle is owner of Limerick Doula Services in Limerick, Ireland - check out her website here. She is a plus-size mum of 4, and at the time of the recording she was expecting number 5! Michelle also runs a private body-positive facebook group entitled 'Fat and Pregnant Community' - please contact Michelle directly to learn more.

Sarah is a mum of 2 living in Cardiff.
