Episode Summary


In this episode, I'm answering five of the most common questions I get about fat positive fertility. These questions originally came from a video I recorded for my Ko-Fi Community but they were too good not to share here!


Whether you're curious about navigating fertility in a bigger body, looking for evidence-based insights, or just need some reassurance, this episode is for you. And if you have your own questions, come join us in the Ko-Fi Community, where you can ask me directly!


The questions:

  • Can I really get pregnant in a bigger body?
  • What do I do if my doctor denies me fertility care based on my BMI?
  • Can I access fertility treatment in a bigger body if I need it?
  • Will losing weight make it easier to get pregnant?
  • Is it safe to get pregnant in a bigger body?
