Ep. 72: Dramática Entrance Into Motherhood- My Birth Story That Led To A NICU Stay

On today's episode I wanted to formally introduce The Mamis Club series of the podcast. The Mami's Club is for all madres—whether you're an entrepreneur, building a career, or a stay-at-home mom—let’s talk about navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood. I want this to be a safe space for real conversations about the struggles, wins, and everyday realities of trying to balance it all. Culturally and beyond, so much about motherhood goes unspoken—but here, I want to be able to share our journeys, support one another, and remind every madre out there: you are not alone. I thought, let me kick it off this series with my own experience so far. I gave birth to my son on July 30th, 2024. That was the day I was inaugurated into The Mami's Club. It was also one of the scariest, dramatic and most chaotic days of life, but it also brought me the most important person in my life. I wanted to share my journey for anyone who can relate and to feel like they're not alone in their experience. I think that's what I appreciate about my generation of mothers and younger, is that we are talking about our pregnancy journeys, birthing experiences and even challenges as mother's.  I didn't know that my fairly laid back and smooth sailing pregnancy would lead to a HELLP syndrome diagnosis, emergency c-section and a NICU stay, but that is all a part of my story now. Trigger warning for any Mami's who have experienced anything similar or just had a very different experience than they imagined. Talking about my journey helps, so I feel like sharing this very vulnerable time in my life is helping me heal.  Follow Werk Mija: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/werkmija/  TikTok: @werkmija Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/werkmija Website: https://www.werkmija.com Join The Club & Order The Mami's Club Apparel & Accessories: https://werkmija.com/collections/the-mamis-club-collection Buy Me Cafecito (CLICK HERE): Allow me to continue creating content for our comunidad.
