Episode 3: It’s Okay to Not Be Over-the-Moon All the Time

In this heartfelt episode of Maa Ka Mic - by Preeja, she opens up about her personal pregnancy journey — from the fear of leaving her job to navigating a long-distance marriage, hormonal injections, and the emotional rollercoaster that often goes unspoken. This episode is a gentle reminder that not feeling excited every moment of pregnancy is completely normal — and it doesn't make you any less of a mother. Tune in for an honest, comforting conversation that every mom and mom-to-be needs to hear. - Preeja Hari Kurup

Episode 2: “It’s Okay If You Didn’t Realize You Were Pregnant”

Welcome to Maa Ka Mic—by Preeja a podcast for every Indian mom and mom-to-be who’s tired of hearing only the “pretty” side of motherhood. What if you didn’t know you were pregnant for the first few weeks—or even months? Does that make you careless? No. It makes you human. In this opening episode, I share my own story—the chaos, the travel, the stress, and the unexpected vada pav cravings—that led me to discover my pregnancy later than expected. This one’s for every maa who’s ever questioned herself. Because the moment you find out is not your deadline—it’s your beginning. #MaaKaMic ️
