Birth has always played a huge role in shaping who I am and who I am becoming. This is my story. Like all stories, it is best read from the beginning.

I'm 5 foot tall and have a 9 month old son and i'm 19 weeks pregnant with twins;i definately agree it's ashame that many people stereotype us plus size woman for wanting to be a mother.Mothers come in all size,shapes and colors;i would like to thank you for showing us plus size women that we aren't alone.Beauty comes in all sizes.I give you thumbs up on having your site and say please keep it going cause this give us plus size women encouragement in knowing that babies are born to all woman not just the boney ones!!!
I agree with everyone who has posted. I'm thinking about starting my own family and I've negative responses like...are you able to have kids? Why? Because I want to experience motherhood like anyone else.
I just found out I'm about 7 weeks pregnant and have been looking for plus sized momma to be books.. so far not so much luck! This website and the pictures have been wonderful and helped me not feel so alone. Thank you, lovely ladies.
Thank you so much for posting these beautiful pics of your pregnancy! I am a 28y/o 4'9 African american female who has looked all over the internet to find plus size pictures of pregnant photos. I am 28 weeks and I have always want to know what I would look like this far along. I have a extra pouch(thats what I call it!) and I wanted to see if it would go away during the pregnancy, and so far it has not but I still have 3 months to go. I am proud of these beautiful pregnant divas! I give you thumbs up for having your site also!
Hello, I just wanted to say thank you so very much for putting this blog up! I am 18 married size 18 (pre-pregnancy) and 7 weeks along. I haven’t been able to find any plus size pregnancy photos at all. I was about to give up all hope and be sad and self-conscious and then Bam! There it was my site in shining armor! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this site. Oh and if anyone can could you tell me when we start showing?
I am 5"9 and just coming up to 5 months pregnant. I am obese and do not show at all! to the fact that sometimes if it wasnt for the nausea, i would question myself if i was pregnant. It does cause me to worry as i would prefer to look massive than not to show at all. I just wanted to say thank you to these beautiful pictures and the encouragement that you have given to all of us big n beautiful mammas :)
First of all, loved the cheeky energy vibe in your belly pics. You look so cute & are really enjoying yourself.:-) the last pic is a classic " madonna" pose, really lovely. Also nice to have real photos that aren't all photo shopped. It is important that women share what we "really" look like & not criticise ourselves , NOBODY looks like standard magazine photos of a very narrow population profile. As to the " pouch" issue...i got mine following c-section surgery. It does not go away & is a very common issue for all body types...go to a site cesareanscar.com for lots of real women's photos & stories all shapes & sizes. Congrats on this site it is a real confidence booster.
I am 25 years old and I have struggled my whole life with weight. Doctors always told me I could not conceive because of it. I looked at this page and cried because you gave me hope. I am struggling to get pregnant because I do not ovulate, but I am starting my second round of Clomid tomorrow and I think your pictures boosted my spirits and I pray I am able to have that wonderful feeling of life growing inside too. Thank you for putting yourself out there and showing people size really does not matter. :-)
Hello, I'm 31 10 wks. pregnant, Im a size 22-24. This is my first baby, and I want to say Thank You for having the courage to show off your baby bump. I'm a photographer and I would love to have the experience to do Plus size maternity session. I hope that my belly rounds out and can get the chance to take photos of my own, once I do I will be proud like you to show off my baby body. Thank you again so very much.

I love these photos as I am overweight and didn't seem to fit the "normal" images of a pregnant woman. Thank you :)
you give me confidence to get some pics done and family ones too so pretty and so inspiring thanks so much.
