Risk, Myths & What If's: Caring for Fat Birthers

Emily Bernet (she/her/hers) is a queer single mom to two little ones. She transitioned to being a birth educator and doula because of her own experiences during her pregnancies. Before entering the birth space, she worked in higher education and earned her Master of Adult Education. Big Fat Pregnancy gave her the opportunity to combine her two passions and help others feel prepared for all the unexpected things that occur during pregnancy and baby feeding. You can find her attending births, writing curriculum for our courses, or in her tiny chaos garden.

Christina (she/her) is the founder and co-owner of Big Fat Pregnancy. She is a fat, queer, chronically ill, mom of two who worked tirelessly to make sure her pregnancy experiences were as fat positive as possible and now helps other folks living in larger bodies do the same. As a doula and educator she believes deeply in combating anti-fat bias during pregnancy, birth and postpartum and shines a light on current research and evidence supporting size inclusive care.
