Now today’s episode as the title suggests we’re talking about pregnancy loss, which unfortunately is so common but also not spoken about- and I don’t want to limit it to just the south asian community because I feel like it’s not spoken in any community that openly. Did you know that a miscarriage happens in about estimated 1 in 4 pregnancies (25%) and about 1 in 100 women in the UK experience recurrent miscarriages (that’s 3 or more miscarriages in a row)

I’m so honoured that I’m able to share Mrs Patel’s story, she’s a south asian born in the states and now living in the UK. During her pregnancy journey she had two ectopic pregnancies, two miscarriages and two rounds of IVF. But the story has a happy ending as she welcomed baby Patel in 2020.

Honestly, I didn’t even know what an ectopic pregnancy was until I recorded this episode. So if anyone else was like me and doesn’t know, an ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg starts to grow somewhere other than in the normal lining of the womb. They can sometimes be called tubal pregnancies or tubal ectopics. In very rare cases, the pregnancy can also develop somewhere else – e.g. where the tube meets the uterus or in the cervix. If an ectopic pregnancy is not treated, the tube may rupture which means it needs to be dealt with urgently and fatal. It’s estimated that there are around 12,000 cases of ectopic pregnancy a year in the UK.

Hope you enjoy the episode!

Love,

Preeti x

There are so many things that we expect to happen one way, when actually the reality is quite different. I’m joined by Junior Doctor Sonika to talk about expectations vs reality: brown girl edition, from dating, platonic friendships with boys to moving out and living alone. We also chat about Bollywood and how they have shaped our expectations in the past. 

Love, Preeti x

I’m sharing five reasons why it’s okay to be single (there’s definitely more than five, but these are my top five). 

With valentines day coming up this weekend, I feel like it makes some single people feel inadequate because they’re not in a relationship. Society puts a lot of pressure on people to be in relationships and sometimes puts them on a pedestal. 

However, being in a relationship is a choice and you shouldn’t rush just because everyone else is. It’s okay to be single and honestly it has it perks. 

Love, Preeti x

Today, we’re talking about ego, gratitude and the expectations we impose on ourselves. I’m joined by life coach Suniel Makh, to hear the the male perspective. Especially when it comes to dating.

We talk about what actually goes through a guy’s mind when they need to ask someone out on a date and how they actually feel about paying on a first date. It was so interesting to hear the male perspective.

Today we’re talking all about mental health, a topic that is still pretty taboo within the South Asian community.

I’m joined by Simran, a student from the UK who shares her personal journey with mental health, the challenges she’s faced as well as tips she used to find the perfect therapist for her.

I know now with a second UK national lockdown happening, people’s mental health isn’t the best and it’s something we really need to prioritise. So please take time for yourself, be kind to yourself and take care of your mental health 💗
