Michelle is the mother of 5 children and advocates for others through her website and social media platforms called - Fat and Pregnant. Michelle is also in the process of writing her first book. We get into an incredible conversation about what it is like to be plus-sized and pregnant, and Michelle will tell you about how important it is for any pregnant person to recognise when they are being labelled as incapable of giving birth in a certain way, and why those limitations are not necessary. We also talk in detail about the tole of the birth partner throughout the episode, so it is important to listen through the end to ensure that you find out what nuggets she shares about supporting anyone through labour and birth regardless of their size. You can find Michelle on her website: www.fatandpregnant.comOr over on instagram @fat.and.pregnantFacbook - www.facebook.com/fatandpregnantDuring this episode, I also chose 5 winners who will receive a free copy of the ebook version of - Labour of love -The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner.
