Plus Size Mamas

I had a conversation with my 10 year old yesterday. She shared with me that some boys at school in 3 grade had made fun of her for having a fat mom. Her supposed friend also made a similar comment. I honestly can’t ever recall a time where I heard of kids making fun of other parents to someone’s face. I may be naive but one would think in this body accepting world that this wouldn’t happen.

Anyone have similar stories, how did you handle them?

Dr office- how can I help u Me: just found out I’m pregnant 6 weeks ago and I need to do my first appointment to confirm pregnancy and begin prenatal care Dr office: great! And r u Hispanic or Latina? Me: um .. yes. Yes I am Me….. Dr office: that’s great!!! And what is your name and dob Me: answers Dr office: is this ur first pregnancy? Me: no, it’s my third Dr office: c section? Me: yes on the first pregnancy , second was vaginal delivery Dr office: wait so … a vbac? Me: yes…. Dr office: please hold I wanna make sure we can still help you.

Waits 5 min

Dr office: ok and what is your height and weight? Me: 5’2” 335 Dr. Office: one moment ….

5 second hold

Dr office: yeahhhh…. We won’t be able to help you at our office. I wish you the best goodbye.

WT actual F?…. I have called at least 6 other drs because I was looking for one with my insurance and NONE have ever pre screened me in this way. Has any other plus size mommy’s out here ever experienced this? And why are they asking if I’m Latina before they even ask me my name?

Am I just being emotional for no reason? Is this normal?

Hello everybody! I want to introduce myself, my name is Tarren (as shown above) 😂 I'm 30 years young, I'm a married SAHM of two kiddos, my oldest is almost 10 and my youngest is 19 months. I'm a pretty "fluffy" lady, I've struggled with self esteem for most of my life. Put on a lot of weight since welcoming our first child and I would be lying if I said I wasn't really having a hard time with it. I want so badly to look and feel different, but it'll take lots of work and time! However, that's not what this is about! This is a fun space to talk about whatever! Just wanted to give a little backstory on my situation. I want to get to know you all! Drop a comment telling me about yourself, and share anything you'd like! Start a conversation, we can never have too many friends ❤️ We're not like regular moms, we're cool moms! XO
