In this episode I chat to Dr Alice Keely PhD about pregnancy and birth when you're classed as having a high BMI. We discuss what challenges a pregnant person may face when plus sized, the recommendations and interventions that may be offered, how your "high risk" label may influence recommendations around birth place and choices, and how to achieve the birth you deserve!

Dr Alice Keely is a PhD midwife with more than 20 years experience and a passion for helping plus size women have happy pregnancies. As the Heavyweight Midwife she has supported hundreds of women to be empowered for their unique journeys, confident in the knowledge that the being plus size size not make your pregnancy is ‘high risk’!
