Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Nicola is the leading voice for fat folks seeking fertility support, bringing a unique fat-positive perspective to her work as a fertility coach and author of the groundbreaking book "Fat and Fertile”.

She is a prominent figure in the world of fat activism, using her platform and expertise to challenge the weight bias and stigmas that exist within the fertility industry and empower those who are often marginalised to take control of their reproductive health with confidence and self-assurance.

Through her innovative and evidence-based approach, she helps clients find their own path to wellness, free from diets and body shaming, and encourages them to trust and believe in their ability to conceive. With her expert guidance and compassionate support, Nicola is changing the way people approach fertility.

Nicola's journey began at a young age with a diagnosis of PCOS and a disheartening message that pregnancy was an impossible dream. But you know what they say about dreams - she decided to chase them. And guess what? She not only defied the doctors but also had some pretty smooth sailing in her pregnancies, despite all the doom and gloom predictions.

What makes her story even more incredible is that along the way, she discovered the harsh reality of anti-fat bias in maternity care. But instead of backing down, this experience lit a fire in her to bring about change. She's here to show you that even when the world doubts you, believing in yourself can lead to extraordinary results. Nicola is on a mission to ensure nobody else faces the kind of bias she did, and she's doing it with a big, warm smile and a heart full of determination.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good book!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020
    It's a great book and will make you feel empowered irregardless of your weight. It made me feel like my weight doesn't define me as a woman and it shouldn't stop me from trying to conceive. Only issues I had was that it felt like it was very repetitive at times, a few typos, and I felt it skipped the whole "trying to get pregnant part". I think that it should have included actually trying to get pregnant while in a bigger body rather than just focusing on weight.

    4 stars because I wish there was more content about the IVF process and data around that for fat women. Most of this book is dedicated to helping women accept their weight and know it will not affect their fertility. The book was super helpful to me in that regard.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book that lift up any women, Fat or thin.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020
    I absolutely love the approach Nicola takes on this book. Our world is so full of labels and judgements, specially about our bodies and our fertility. In this wonderful book , the author practically breaks a myth on the fact that becoming pregnant while having a bigger body is difficult and sometimes almost impossible and this is what I find the most important thing in the book. It lift up the self stem and consciousness of any curvy women. It guides you with raw and kindness at the same time to reach that goal of becoming a mom.
    Truly a must read to any women, really!

    I bought this book a few months ago. Feeling a bit resigned about my situation, I started reading and I have to say: I'm so much more happy now. Right now I feel that what I want is actually possible and that's thanks to this book. I especially liked the interactive parts with a "workbook" that can be downloaded with a code in the book. Really cool! Thanks!

    The most fantastic book! A fresh open minded balanced perspective on pregnancy in a larger body. An emphasis on how important self acceptance is in the quest for pregnancy and how much difference it can make it feel positive when trying to conceive. Nicola Salmon is a very enlightened talented writer who believes in body positivity and I for one am very grateful for this book. Would definitely recommend. This book will do great things for your mind body and soul! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    This was a great, simple read! Although Nicola talks about her research without direct references, I still gave it 5 stars because it's really affirming and overall great perspective for most fat people. It's just great to hear her story and the messages in this book. There are quite a few editing errors. Not the end of the world but editing is a good investment for a professional publication. Maybe something to consider for second edition. Thanks for this resource, Nicola!
