Key focus areas we break down:

🎀 The importance of early breast cancer screening

🎀 Recognizing early warning signs (importance of self-examination and regular screening)

For many parents-to-be, a birth plan offers comfort and a sense of control. But sometimes things don’t unfold the way we imagined and that can be overwhelming. In this episode, joined by Dr.Dee Ng’endo and Dr.Olivia Gathoni, we talk about what happens when the birth plan doesn’t go as planned, and how to navigate the emotions, decisions and recovery that follow.

Whether it’s an unplanned C-section, unexpected complications, or simply a shift in expectations, we share practical insights and supportive strategies to help you process the experience and systems to cope move forward.

Remember: a change in plans doesn’t make you any less strong it makes your story uniquely yours.

Tune in as we unpack the reality behind the motherhood journey, beyond the picture-perfect moments.
