COLUMNS

Journey To Baby

 

Deepika is an aspiring mom.  Like many South Asian women these days, Deepika got married in her early 30’s and starting trying to have a baby in her mid 30’s. What she thought would be a quick and easy path to motherhood has proved to be long, arduous journey.  Deepika is sharing her personal story on her path to pregnancy here on Masalamommas because so many women deal with fertility issues but do not openly discuss the challenges they face. Join her every month  as she shares the trials and hopefully triumphs on her path to baby.

As part of one of our ‘Saheli Circle’ columnists, Deepika will also take non-medical questions from readers in similar situations about her journey and experience.

Sometimes some of us look to make that next career move, that return to work transition or want to quit our day jobs to start something of our own. This column will provide a sounding board for  to answer common questions about what recruiters look for, prepping for a transition change, or that tricky interview.
