It's storytime! A casual and conversational episode to break up the heaviness for information and discussions. Today's episode is about my health journey from my first pregnancy till now, 2 years postpartum after my second child. I also share about the medical devices I've accumulated.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• Blood pressure machine and gestational hypertension experience
• Blood glucose machine, accessories, and gestational diabetes experience
• CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine and sleep apnea due to pregnancy experience

QUOTES

• "I truly understood and also was really thankful that my diabetes wasn't to a point where I needed medication or insulin shots. It was well controlled with diet, so it really made me appreciate how difficult it is to keep up with pricking yourself every day, how much it actually hurts."
• "As much as I don't fit the bill of a stereotypical unhealthy person, I have a lot of things that I've accumulated in the journey of becoming a mom that I need to watch out for as I get older so that I don't develop those health conditions."
• "For 28.8 times within an hour of sleeping at the sleep clinic where I did my sleep study, I stopped breathing. For 28.8 times, and during those times, my oxygen levels in my body dropped below 90%."
