So relieved to see a recent video about this! The big push in pregnancy education around obesity seems to have happened 2000-2015 mainly, but with the rise in the radical Healthy At Every Size movement, women are being told nothing about this. I had to present on this when I was obese & had been during my pregnancy - it was rough but worth it to have an honest conversation.
