Big Fat Pregnancy
A Wide Range of Pregnancy Services
What I Offer
I empower plus-size individuals to embrace their pregnancy journey to parenthood in the body they have right now. Through fat-positive mentoring, inclusive birth, and postpartum doula services, and size-inclusive education & resources, I equip clients with the tools and support needed to overcome weight stigma, discover deep joy, and experience the transformative power of birth and parenting.
My doula care is uniquely designed to benefit parents who are fat, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and have/or have disabilities.
Navigating the road to parenthood can be challenging, especially in systems that often fail to recognize, support, or affirm individuals living in larger bodies. My mission is to provide guidance, education, and advocacy so that every parent is able to thrive.

Celebrate Your
amazing fat pregnancy
I want to acknowledge a profound truth: every pregnancy, regardless of size, has a unique and radiant glow. I see it in my clients time and time again, even when they might not be aware. Big Fat Pregnancy exists to empower and uncover every single glow out there!
I believe the medical system has so undeniably failed fat people in their pursuit of building a family, in preconception help like IVF, prenatal appointments, delivery rooms, and beyond. It has left fat folks with no confidence that their provider will see them as human. I will continue to educate, coach and train providers so that maybe just one day, a fat person isn’t immediately and consistently judged for the size of their body.

a bit about christina
I’m a birth nerd!
I’m Christina (she/her). I’m a fat, queer mama and birth nerd! I use mentoring, trauma-informed care, and adult education to create a more inclusive birth culture for those living in larger bodies during conception, pregnancy, and postpartum!
I brought two humans into this world with a fat body, and I am here to share my experiences and walk alongside other fat folks on their path to parenthood.
I believe every body has the right to receive compassionate care during the exciting and sometimes overwhelming experience of growing a human.
“Our experience with Christina was amazing. The human touch, the honesty, the company, the knowledge, it was everything we needed! I love that she creates an honest connection.”

Birth Doula Client | Review on Doula Match
“I cannot say enough good things about Christina. If you ever have the chance to work with her, don’t pass it up. If I’m ever pregnant again, she is for sure our doula!”
-Elena Umeno
Birth Doula Client | Review on Doula Match
“After a traumatic birth experience, my second was a healing one. Taking time to listen, truly hearing our concerns meant when we didn’t know what we needed BFP did.”
– Leah Thompson
Birth Doula Client | Review on Doula Match
“I have chronic illnesses, and not only did Christina already know a lot about my disorder, she did additional thorough research regarding my condition during pregnancy and birth – the risks associated, alternative methods of coping, etc. Throughout my long labor, she helped keep me grounded, reminded me to find my breath, and compassionately guided my husband through partner support. Having her there made the entire process significantly less scary. She shouldered the medical advocacy that neither I nor my husband had the capacity to provide.”
