His laugh is contagious, as is his joy of living. Sibylle, better known as @Sibyllete on social networks, has no tongue and no brush in her pocket, and she is dazzling. In the video interview that you agreed to give us, you talked about many topics, including fatphobia during pregnancy.
Fatphobia during pregnancy, this taboo topic
Fatphobia is the discrimination faced by fat people. This is a delicate and social topic, unfortunately still taboo, on which we speak more and more freely. While voices are raised to denounce the violence suffered by obese or overweight people, there are still few testimonies regarding fatphobia experienced during pregnancy.
Sibylle, during her visit to Madmoizelle, spoke about it, very accurately, in the complete video you find below:
In this regard, she is confident in the application of the epidural during childbirth which did not work, due, in her opinion, to the anesthetist’s lack of experience with large bodies:
I asked for an epidural, but he couldn’t inject me properly. It fell on my bone every time and I think it couldn’t do that because of my weight. She wasn’t used to it, even though I gave birth to both my children in the same hospital and last year the doctor did it very well in one go. As for the anesthetist, he missed six times and it didn’t really work. I ended up giving birth without painkillers.
It was truly a wake-up call, because when we don’t feel the effects of certain things, of certain discriminations, we tend to think that it’s over. We say to ourselves “ah, okay, things have evolved positively, so there are fewer of them!” “, but actually no, not at all, it’s still relevant.
Sibylle also shares the testimonies of people in her community who are refused PMA courses because of their weight and who are asked by the medical profession to lose 20 kg in four months to access the medically assisted procreation course.
A delicate, social and unfortunately still very current topic, which deserves to be listened to and spread to as many people as possible. Thank you Sibylle for wanting to share all this with us on video!
