The show's title stems from the Internet slang abbreviation BFP (for "Big Fat Positive" meaning a positive pregnancy test). Big Fat Positive launched in August 2018 after hosts and best friends/writing partners Shanna and Laura discovered they were pregnant at the same time. They created a fun and informative conversational podcast to chronical their simultaneous pregnancies and have included interviews with experts like Emily Oster, pediatrician Dr. Mark Hamilton (investor of the Hamilton Hold and more. With weekly check-ins and special segments like "OMG, I'm freaking out" and "What I Googled This Week," Big Fat Positive podcast episodes are smart, informative, funny and honest.

After recording the first few episodes in a car, Shanna and Laura were inspired to up the production value after receiving positive messages the Big Fat Positive podcast listeners sent.
