Birth Story Video: Jennifer's Waterbirth
Here is the birth story and wedding/birth video of a plus-sized mama I thought readers might enjoy. It's not a short video (about 6 minutes) but it's well worth watching!
Below is the mother's story (which includes 4 previous miscarriages) and what she wants other women of size to know about pregnancy and birth.
Below is the mother's story (which includes 4 previous miscarriages) and what she wants other women of size to know about pregnancy and birth.
My name is Jennifer. I live in southern Oregon and am a midwife apprentice. I have attended many births and have caught 4 babies under supervision. Of the many births I have attended, a good handful have been to plus-size mommas.
Two off the top of my head were between 300-400 lbs. Both mommas had very healthy uneventful pregnancies and wonderful easy labors, and both mommas delivered in water at home. Water is great for plus-size mommas because it allows you to move more easily into different positions.
I myself am a plus size momma. I am 5'6" and started my pregnancy at 232 lbs., about size 18. I finished my pregnancy at 276. I know doctors like to tell you to only gain 15 lbs. if you're "obese" but that's one of many reasons I didn't choose a doctor! I am a firm believer that as long as you gain your weight on healthy food then you gain what you need, and restricting food can cause issues in pregnancy. Nutrition is key in pregnancy, especially protein!
I had a wonderful very healthy pregnancy with a midwife, and gave birth to a beautiful baby at home on Christmas eve. A baby girl, 9 lbs. 12 ounces, 20.5 inches.
Being plus size and pregnant is a challenge but I think it's because we set up obstacles in our minds. Will I look pregnant, how much weight will I gain, will I be able to handle the physical demands of labor, will I be bullied into tests and procedures because I'm overweight?
Remember that you are a strong, intelligent, beautiful woman who can birth a healthy baby, regardless of your weight. If you aren't comfortable being your own advocate, then hire a doula! Get educated, know your options, and don't forget to celebrate this beautiful rite of passage!
