Am 105kgs and have a history of high blood pressure and also diagnosed with PCOS. Recently had a miscarriage and I keep wondering if I will be able to carry a baby to term with my weight and all. Got two kids already and trying for a third.

Not my weight (although constantly reminded of that) but my diabetes. Just wondering if any plus size mommas did have diabetes and still experienced completely healthy births? Would love to deliver vaginally but scared with all the preventative care I have received so far with my high risk doctors that they will take my little guy early.

Big HUGS Stephanie! I think it will take time to process your birth and heal through it. It’s okay to feel let down. It’s not right how often this bait-and-switch happens. I’m so sorry!

I wanted what you had. I didn’t get it. I was lead to believe that I would have that compassion, that I would have the opportunity to move while I labored, that the monitoring would be there portable doppler… I wound up strapped to the bed, essentially guilted into using pitocin and an epidural when it was in my wishes to avoid medications. I still feel so poorly for the way it went, despite my son being beautiful, despite still succeeding in having a vaginal delivery, despite only needing one stitch. I still don’t love my body. I wish I had what you had. Maybe in the future I can get it…

Oh BillieJean, your words truly touch my heart. You’re right, every birth experience matters! We learn something from each story shared. I’m glad mine has made an impact.

I laughed, cried, felt waves of love and gratitude for you sharing your powerful birth story. Mine was far from beautiful and supportive as yours by the care providers but it’s empowered me to share with other plus size pregnant women and if I do ever have another baby to be empowered to advocate for myself and find others who will. You mean so much to so many because of your podcast and I am so grateful for how you are always transparent with your life.
