Moms on the Mic with Mariah

On this episode, I'm talking to my friend Karen about her struggles with cholestasis during her pregnancy and giving birth to her daughter with a skull complication called encephalocele. We hope that this episode sheds more light on these conditions and teaches you how to be your own advocate and get the support you need during tough times. REMINDER: We aren't medical professionals! We are purely talking about Karen's experience. Please consult your doctor for your specific situation.

Denise has given birth twice, and both experiences were VERY different! Today, we're talking about her experience as a single mom vs. with a partner, vaginal birth vs. c-section, and what it's like to carry one baby vs. twins. We also get into some of the discrimination that Black women face in healthcare and what Denise recommends for c-section recovery. There's a lot to unpack in this episode, and Denise is extremely open and honest. Reminder: we are not medical professionals! Please consult your doctor for your specific situation and do not treat this podcast as any sort of medical advice. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I'm so excited to finally launch Moms on the Mic with Mariah, a podcast about parenting, pregnancy, and all of the things that people don't talk about. I'm talking to parents about their infertility journeys, birth experiences, and so much more. I'll even talk about the reason I started this podcast in the first place - my pregnancy-induced brain tumor.
