Are you pregnant and excited about finding a provider, but feeling uncertain how you are going to find someone who respects the body you have right now?

Finding out you are pregnant comes with so many emotions. Sometimes the excitement can overwhelm us, especially when thinking about finding a provider or assembling a care team that will be inclusive of, and caring towards, your fat body.

You may already know what type of care providers you want, or you may still be exploring. Do you want an obstetrician or a midwife? What is available in your area? Do you want a birth doula and a postpartum doula? Is there someone fat-positive on your team?

This guide will help you spend some time dreaming about the values you hold and the way you want to feel as you move through your pregnancy. It will help you prepare to interview providers and do most of your vetting before setting one foot in a provider’s office.

Whether you’re newly pregnant and finding a provider for the first time, near the end and considering switching providers, or somewhere in-between, this guide is a great tool on your journey.
