In this episode, Samantha and I chat with fellow doula, Michelle, and plus-size mum, Sarah, about what it's like to be labelled with a high BMI during pregnancy and how this can impact on your birth choices. This episode comes with a *TRIGGER WARNING* of obstetric rape and violence, sexual assault and infant death.
