Big, Beautiful, and Pregnant by Cornelia Van Der Ziel
Almost half of all pregnant women are overweight in the U.S. today, but there are few places they can turn for reliable information and helpful advice on the special set of challenges they'll face during the nine-month adventure that lies ahead. In Big, Beautiful and Pregnant, Cornelia van der Ziel, a highly sought-after obstetrician who specializes in plus-size pregnancies, and Jacqueline Tourville, a plus-size mom who's lived the experience, offer a warm, witty, medically-sound guide for overweight women who want the skinny on what to expect from pregnancy and childbirth. They answer all the questions pregnant moms may have, including: Is my pregnancy doomed to be difficult because I'm overweight? How can I find a sympathetic doctor? Am I destined for a c-section because of my extra pounds? Are there special medical risks to my unborn child? Where can I find maternity clothes in extra-large sizes? A unique combination of impeccable medical advice, fun, and down-to-earth charm, Big, Beautiful and Pregnant provides plus-size pregnant women with information, inspiration, a sense of sisterhood, and reassurance that they can have a healthy and happy pregnancy.Jacqueline Tourville grew up trekking in New York's Adirondack Mountains. While residing in Boston as an adult, she became acquainted with the varied terrain of New England. She's now a prolific freelance writer and author of the bestselling Are We There Yet? She is also the co-author of the prenatal health book Huge, Gorgeous, and Pregnant, and has written numerous pieces for both web and print magazines about health and outdoor living. Jacqueline, her husband, and their two children live in New Hampshire.
