Fat,Healthy, & Pregnant

“Your size is not the end-all-be-all for your fertility.” - Nikki B I am joined by mother & creator of the Fat Positive Motherhood Facebook group, Nikki B. In this week’s episode, Nikki candidly shares her tumultuous journey as a fat Black woman trying to conceive and deliver a baby. We talk about the challenges of finding a "size provider" aka a medical provider that did not discriminate because of her weight, the flippant use of weight and the BMI scale to make “informed” medical decisions, and how Nikki gets fired (Yes Fired) from her OB’s office after mapping out a birth plan. This is for you if: · Want to know more about advocating for your family planning with medical professionals · Understanding how the medical community uses your weight to determine a lot · The BMI scale isn’t an accurate measurement of health · Understanding your fertility and pregnancy rights · Know that being fat while pregnant doesn’t have to be a terrible experience Connect with me: @officialboxowner @fullcourtpumps info @officialboxowner.com www.officialboxowner.com Promo code: BOXCARE Connect with Our Guest: @fatpositivemotherhood Fatpositivemotherhood (Group on Facebook)
