This is me a couple hours after undergoing an unexpected surgery following a frightening postpartum hemorrhage. In the days after welcoming my daughter Sohana into the world I have had many people reach out to ask how I’ve been doing. My response has been pretty standard…aside from the sleep deprivation I was doing well. This was the truth…until about two weeks postpartum when things took a sudden turn.

This month marks a major milestone for me. Out of the past 24 months I have been pregnant for 17 of them! I know I am not setting a record or anything, but I am telling you I feel like I have been pregnant forever. With two pregnancies so close together I have tried my fair share of pregnancy and postpartum items and remedies, so I’ve decided to compile a list of some of my favourite things that will help YOU on this incredible journey.

One year ago I was 8 months pregnant and adjusting to lockdown life after abruptly saying goodbye to my co-workers and Global BC viewers. Now a year later I am getting ready to step out of my condo, put on something other than black leggings and join my team on Global News Morning.
