This groundbreaking book is the first to offer encouragement, information, and resources to the millions of plus-size moms who are in the midst of adding to their families. Written in a friendly and supportive tone, this book takes a rational (and non-hysterical) look at what the studies about weight and pregnancy really mean, and offers practical advice. The book is officially endorsed by the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. This Book includes: - How to gain the right amount of weight (because plus-size moms should gain weight during pregnancy) - Ways to feel good about yourself and celebrate your pregnancy - How to find a health care provider who will support you and help you feel good about yourself - Where to find maternity clothes and how to choose flattering styles - Nursing as a plus-sized mom - Vaginal birth versus C-section for plus-size moms - Feeling good about yourself after the birth and how to lose weight after you've had the baby - The impact of conditions such as PCOS and diabetes on pregnancy - Understanding medical terms and how to interpret studies about weight and pregnancy - Keeping your partner involved in your pregnancy - Finding childbirth classes where you are comfortable Each chapter contains quotes from real plus-size moms about their personal experiences with every aspect of pregnancy, nursing, and postpartum care. Written by experts, Your Plus-Size Pregnancy is the result of a collaboration between a plus-size mom of two who is a pregnancy and parenting writer and a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialist who is experienced in working with plus-size moms.
