"Being plus size the representation already falls incredibly short, but being plus size AND pregnant? Forget it," McGrady began her caption alongside a pair of mirror selfies showing off her bump. "When I embarked on this journey I was excitedly googling pregnancy, plus size pregnancy, bump pictures, updates, all the things! However, I never saw myself represented."
"I knew going into this my belly wasn't going to be this perfect little round thing that just bops out, I knew I wouldn't have options for maternity wear, i knew my body would change in different ways than i have seen my whole life, and yet I don't know if I was prepared for how much the plus size pregnancy representation lacks," she continued.

"There aren't any plus size pregnant women on magazine covers, advertisements, television, or even the brochure's at the OBGYN office. It's almost as if we don't exist, like we're an anomaly," she added. "I'm here to tell you that you are not a 'one off' you're not wrong for being plus size and pregnant, your body is equipped for this."
Concluded McGrady, "Wherever you are on your journey just remember how wildly worthy you are to experience this and enjoy every moment of it just as anyone else."
McGrady and Keys married in a private ceremony in Moorpark, California, in 2019. During the nuptials, McGrady made sure to include her stepdaughter by reciting a set of vows to the young girl. "She's just the most beautiful little girl," McGrady told PEOPLE at the time. "She's so special, so gentle and so loving."
