You are Pregnant! And you are not 'High Risk'!

Let’s keep our focus firmly on that - right from the start.

Hey there, I’m Alice.

Registered Midwife, MSc, PhD

Alice Keely, The Heavyweight Midwife

It’s my mission to help as many women as possible have a happy and healthy pregnancy!

I have been a UK registered midwife for over twenty years. I’ve worked in complex care teams, homebirth teams, I’ve taught hypnobirthing and done everything in between! Along the way I’ve had my own three children, two in hospital, one at home – all very different experiences.

Almost as soon as I qualified back in 2001, I became interested in specialising in care for plus size women. I made sure I got plenty of experience and got all the extra training I could, and in 2008 I secured a position specialising in plus size care. I’ve never looked back.

Over the past decade or so I’ve also tucked an MSc and a PhD under my belt and in doing so I’ve taken a deep dive into plus size women’s experiences of pregnancy and care. More recently I hung up my hospital scrubs and I’ve been lecturing and researching in universities, spreading the word to policy makers and health professionals about how we can improve care. My published research is quoted by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in their latest UK plus size care guidelines.

Too often I’ve seen impersonal, rules-based care offered to women and I’ve made it my mission to change this through empowering women to advocate for themselves.
