"After week 17 I think, I was worried about him. I knew that with my fibroids I would have pain. I was like it will be worse than what I had with my periods, but, well I can handle pain. I didn't factor in the emotional aspect of that. Like worrying about losing someone. So that to me was the hardest part."

This episode is with Dr. Mwanasha Merril, a hematology and oncology fellow at Dana Farber Cancer Institute

We talk about:
- Having fibroids and how that impacted her pregnancy
- The challenge of having significant pain in her pregnancy and how that impacted her personally as well as her fellowship training
- Bringing her baby to meet her family in Malawi
- What life looks like for her now as she finishes up fellowship with a 13 month old baby
