I never set out to be a role model for large women, I just do what I feel is right.

I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!

It makes sense that the placenta almost looks like a tree with many branches - a tree of life.

For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.

I wanted to give birth as opposed to being delivered!

My birth experience is not right for everyone, but it was so right for me. I am changed because of that experience, i saw my power and I felt my power, and it's gotten me through a lot of hardship. I tell myself that if i could get through that, I can get through anything. I think women are losing an opportunity by not aspiring to have births in which they are active participants.

Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing.
