Fat and Pregnant is the big girl's pregnancy story and guidebook. When Melissa saw the positive sign on the pregnancy test, she had no idea how different her pregnancy would be compared to a skinny girl's pregnancy. Melissa gets real about being pregnant and fat. She details the many differences she discovered during her pregnancy and delivery compared to "normal" sized women. From the pregnancy belly that just looked like fat girl belly, to the doctor appointments where they described how high-risk her pregnancy was, or to the fact that she didn't gain weight until the end of her pregnancy; Melissa describes her ups and down of pregnancy as a plus-size mother to be.

Melissa's story proves that plus size women have babies successfully every day. She breaks down the negative stigma surrounding plus size pregnancy. Fat and Pregnant will help revolutionize the shame surrounding overweight pregnancies. The plus-size community is a group of strong and powerful women.
