Alice Keely, The Heavyweight Midwife

Are you worrying about all the 'high risk' stuff you've heard?

Hi, I'm Dr. Alice Keely!

I’m a specialist midwife with a PhD in plus size care and a passion for helping women like you have a happy pregnancy!

Alice Keely, The Heavyweight Midwife

I established The Heavyweight Midwife in 2022 after 15 years of specialising in plus size pregnancy care and completing my PhD.

My support starts from the very start of your pregnancy, because the choices you make then, all of the knowledge you have and certainly the level of confidence you feel, all really matter in terms of what happens later, on the day you have your baby.

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

And I am exactly the expert to bring you this unique support. I have been a midwife for over 20 years and I specialise in plus size pregnancy. I know my way around NHS systems, plus size clinical guidelines and the evidence that underpins them. My own published research is quoted by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in their UK plus size care guidelines.

Your pregnancy is not a high risk pregnancy! Join me so I can keep reminding you why!
