She had been overweight for a number of years and being pregnant meant having what she called a “legitimate reason” to have a big belly. She would now be pregnant not fat. She looked forward to shaking her previous body image issues and…
What felt good to Georgia was to know that she got to create her own experience of pregnancy and delivery – especially delivery. When she was pregnant she noticed that many women wanted to tell her their labor and delivery stories. Georgia decided that she didn’t want to hear them! She didn’t want to “take…
