Five and a half years ago, I became a mother.
But the day my son was born wasn’t the best day of my life... it was the worst.

In this deeply personal Follow-Up episode, I revisit the story that changed everything for me: my traumatic birth experience with my son Ryaan, the complications that followed, and how it impacted me as a mother, a pediatrician, and a human.

Whether your birth went sideways slowly or spiraled in an instant—this episode is for you.

I share:

  • The moment I knew something was wrong

  • What I experienced during 13 painful days in the hospital

  • How trauma shaped my identity, my anxiety, and my approach to parenting

  • The invisible grief many parents carry

  • Why birth trauma deserves to be seen, supported, and spoken about

If you’ve ever felt like your story didn’t “count” because you survived… this one is for you.

💛 You are not alone. Your story matters. And healing is possible.
