    EP. 148 Let’s Talk About the G Word | Gestational Diabetes, NICU Mom & Finding Her Way

    What happens when a diagnosis changes your pregnancy, but you refuse to let it change who you are? In this episode of The Real Mama Pod, we sit down with Titi, a Nigerian American mama who experienced gestational diabetes during ALL THREE of her pregnancies. Titi gets real about what it was like to hear those words over and over again, take ownership of her diagnosis, and learn how to care for herself and her babies without losing the parts of herself that mattered most. She found ways to create meals that supported her health while still honoring her Nigerian roots, culture, and the foods she grew up loving. Because sometimes motherhood asks us to make changes, but that doesn’t mean we have to lose ourselves in the process. And then there’s her NICU story. Titi opens up about becoming a NICU mom to a baby who was once medically fragile and the emotional journey of watching that same child grow and THRIVE. This is the kind of motherhood story that reminds you just how strong a mama can be when life doesn’t go according to plan. This conversation is about gestational diabetes, motherhood, culture, NICU life, resilience, advocating for yourself, and finding a way to still be YOU through it all. If you’ve ever received a diagnosis during pregnancy and thought, “Okay…now what?” this conversation is for you.   “Espresso Yo’ Self” (Mama Juice) 2 oz. Vodka 1 oz. Espresso 3/4 oz.
