A new study proposes a new model for reducing weight stigma around pregnancy.
Women during preconception, pregnancy and postpartum are particularly vulnerable.
The authors noted stigmatisation begins with labelling women at a higher risk of infertility or pregnancy-related complications due to their body size.
Negative impacts of weight stigma include avoiding engaging with healthcare, psychological stress, reduced motivation to engage in healthy behaviours and disordered eating.
Campaigns that simply say stigma is bad’ can have the opposite effect, says Willer .
In trying to help’, there are all of these unintended consequences,’ he says.
“The kind of intervention that is effective for reducing stigma is making visibility of the people who have got these stigmatised characteristics, making those people much more visible in positions of power, making decisions, fully integrated into the system.
