7. Amelia: Pregnancy With Type 2 Diabetes

Amelia, mom of two toddlers, shares the reality, joys, and challenges of navigating pregnancy and motherhood as a person with diabetes. We talk about how shame, misinformation, and the fantasy of of an unmedicated pregnancy can contribute to being unprepared for the reality- and openly talking about it breaks down a lot of these barriers.

Resources we mentioned or that are related to the topic of diabetes and pregnancy:

Insulin needs during pregnancy - see Figure 1 (TW for weight stigmatizing language)
Fat & Fertile by Nicola Salmon - a super comprehensive book on pregnancy for fat folks
Big Fat Pregnancy - fat positive mentoring, birth and postpartum doula services

Resources recommended byy Amelia!

Dr. Ali Lewis - OBGYN
Katie Rohs, doula
Negin Ebrahimifard, dietitian specializing in diabetes and pregnancy

ABOUT US: We are two dietitians who specialize in diabetes care and eating disorders:

Kelly Six, MS, RD, CDCES, who really likes working in diabetes care because we get to have one foot in the nerdy side of diabetes and the other foot in the emotional side of living in the world with diabetes.
Erin Phillips, MPH, RD, CDCES, who really agrees with Kelly and couldn't have said it better herself.
We both love cats, snacks, and laughing too loud in Seattle coffee shops.
