Unpopular opinion: A healthy mom and healthy baby are NOT enough. Why don’t we pay attention to a mother’s experience and perceptions of her birth enough?

I’m an L&D nurse revealing insider secrets that you won’t learn in your standard childbirth ed class. We explore every facet (from opposite extremes) of not just birth, but the experience of womanhood and childbearing. Along with women sharing their experiences vulnerably, a slew of experts gift us with knowledge we never thought we needed. I throw in an extra layer to the discussion by exploring the implications of Judaism and Jewish culture on the reproductive experience. This show spans way beyond pregnancy and birth, with topics on sex, birth control, birth trauma, perinatal mental health, postpartum realities, breastfeeding, sleep training, diet culture, infertility, realities of our healthcare system, Jewish law, and so much more.

The information here is not intended to give you medical advice or replace the care of a qualified healthcare provider.

54. Plus Size Pregnancy & Birth w/ Jen McLellan Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

Those who are plus-sized often face a lot of judgment and shame from obstetrical providers. They are made to feel undeserving of the same compassionate medical care that smaller people get. They are automatically labeled as "high risk" even if they have no other risk factors other than their size. Jen McLellan is a published author, founder of Plus Size Birth, and host of the Plus Mommy Podcast. She helps people navigate the world of plus size pregnancy, shares tips for embracing your body, and laughs her way through the adventures of parenthood. Her work has been featured in major publications such as The New York Times, Glamour, Today's Parent, Huffington Post, and International Doula. As a public speaker, Jen has spoken at numerous events, including presenting at the National Institutes of Health. Jen is also a certified childbirth educator, wife, and mother to a charismatic eleven-year-old.
