One of our community members asked me to pose a question to our Facebook Community, which is over 460,000 members. She wanted me to ask for some ideas for a gift for her friend who is a curvy woman and who is pregnant and about ready to have her 3rd baby. This friend of hers has had several miscarriages, still births and a whole bunch of post partum depression.
We asked our community and boy did they deliver. It’s heartwarming, made my eyes leak a little bit and is just so beautiful. Fat humans are not used to being treated to tenderly and so sweetly. To be honest, we mostly gerd ourselves for hate and trolls. That is our everyday life- lots of hate. That is why I like to celebrate these sweet and tender moments. Check out the thread here and I am going to copy and paste some of it into my blog, too.

Diana JeffreyBeing THERE honestly is the best gift. You feel so alone with PPD . clean her house for her while you take the kids and shut her in her room for a bubble bath or a nap. Take her to the movies . drop in with coffee and sit and talk. That’s really what would help.💖you are a GREAT friendYou can read all of the comments here: Pregnancy Thread on Curvy Girl Facebook page
