Ep 186: Obesity And Pregnancy - Updated!
In today’s episode I’m revisiting the subject of how obesity affects pregnancy. Originally, I covered this topic in 2019 but I feel like I missed the mark. It was a bit too negative and, to be honest, I have some weight bias that I’ve been working on. So I want to come back to it today. I know that weight in general can be a sensitive topic but it’s something that we need to discuss because it affects quite a few women during pregnancy. Up top I’d like to acknowledge that size is not the only indicator of health and that body positivity is important. However, we gotta understand the facts about the effects of obesity because without the facts you don’t have the info you need to have your best pregnancy and birth. --- Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode186 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Take a quick, fun labor pain quiz Our Sponsors: * Check out Ritual and get 25% off your first month! - https://ritual.com/DRNICOLE * Give Armoire a try and get up to 50% off your first month, that’s up to $125 OFF!
