We are joined by Becca Fajardo for a sincere and impactful look at the realities of high-risk motherhood. This episode follows Becca’s journey from handling Type 2 Diabetes and PCOS with significant weight loss to navigating a fertility journey with Letrozole. Becca shares an honest account of receiving a Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) diagnosis mid-pregnancy and the transition into life as part of the "Lucky Few" community.

From a traumatic birth involving shoulder dystocia and an emergency postpartum surgery for a 13cm hematoma to a 17-day NICU stay, this conversation highlights the importance of medical advocacy and support. Whether you are navigating a high-risk pregnancy, looking for Down syndrome resources, or seeking stories of resilient parenting, Becca’s story offers deep insight into the strength and joy found in the unexpected!
