In this episode of the *MamaBare Podcast*, I sit down with my husband to share a very real and vulnerable update on our current pregnancy — navigating a diagnosis of **Complete Placenta Previa** alongside the discovery of **black mold in our home**.

When we first received this diagnosis, we were shocked by how few real-life resources and personal stories we could find. So many conversations felt clinical, fear-based, or incomplete. This episode is **chapter one of our story**, shared in hopes of filling that gap and letting other parents know they’re not alone.

We open up about: • What led to the Complete Placenta Previa diagnosis • The emotional toll of uncertainty and waiting • Natural approach and mindset • Discovering black mold in our home and how it added another layer of stress • Why this feels especially hard after having a **previous home birth** • Processing the reality of a potential **C-section** — and why it feels unfair and unnatural for us • How we’re coping, communicating, and staying grounded through it all This conversation is raw, honest, and ongoing.

We don’t have all the answers yet — but we’re choosing to share our journey as it unfolds. If you’re facing placenta previa, a high-risk pregnancy, or unexpected turns in motherhood, we hope this helps you feel seen. ✨

This is just the beginning. Be sure to follow along for future updates and how this story ultimately unfolds for our family.
