You'll learn how to build a supportive healthcare team, advocate for your needs, and communicate effectively with providers—even in challenging situations.

Big Fat Pregnancy helps fat pregnant folks navigate a biased medical system without struggle, confusion, and fear!

We advocate for compassionate, inclusive, and evidence-based medical care for plus-size bodies during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Time after time, folks living in larger bodies are denied access to care based on BMI, limited in their provider choices, and travel through pregnancy without quality support.

We're here to change that!
