I'm excited to share the very first episode of the Fat & Pregnant Podcast with you all! Ange Wakeling joins me to share her incredible story of expecting TRIPLETS!

Ange's journey to meeting her babies was filled with bumps along the way, including weight stigma. Have a listen to learn how she navigated these experiences and how finding the right provider made all the difference.

You'll hear us discuss:

  • Ange's experiences of weight stigma during her first and subsequent pregnancy
  • Complications of epidural pain relief
  • How Ange was not listened to or believed during her postpartum period, which lead to unnecessary pain
  • How compassionate providers can have an incredible impact on maternity care
  • Ange's experience during her pregnancy with triplets
