Remember plus size doesn't equal high risk! Two important things missing from this list are finding a size friendly medical provider and hiring a doula!!! Your body is amazing and a healthy pregnancy and vaginal delivery is possible at any size! I had a very empowering pregnancy and incredible natural childbirth at nearly 300 lbs. I started a website to empower other plus size women - www.plussizebirth.com
