Arwyn, of "Raising My Boychick" blog, talks candidly about the politics of being fat and pregnant, and the stigma of taking belly pics while so. She also has interesting posts on parenting and body image.
Another well known blog I want to feature is from childcare and birth advocate, Pamela Vireday, who writes The Well Rounded Mama blog.
One of the things she said that really resonated with me in her posts about miscarriage chances and PCOS is:
"Oh, how I wish I had known then that the risk for miscarriage dropped considerably once a heartbeat has been documented. It's not a guarantee, and there is still room for concern...but neither is it as chancy as many doctors think it is, even in fat women. - Pamela(Link to original post)" -I've been combing the web this week and scaring myself silly with all the dire warnings and statistics on how PCOS is so much harder to get pregnant and stay pregnant with. Finding her blog, with a different frame-set, was a relief.
I specifically want to point you all HERE, to this part of her website discussing PCOS during pregnancy.
