34 | Alisa & Aveline - Suprise Pregnancy, Hospital Birth during Covid-19 and a Cancer Diagnosis

In this episode we hear Alisa sharing her journey to parenthood with her baby Aveline. Alisas pregnancy was a surprise both for her and her now boyfriend Pierre and she tells us the story of how they met and conceived and decided to spend their lives together. The pregnancy was event free and Alisa shares how she implemented her yoga practice while her belly was growing. Towards the end of the pregnancy Alisa experienced some symptoms like extreme itching and other signs that something wasn’t really right but she thought it was part of pregnancy. After Aveline was born without intervention in Kralovske Vinohrady Hospital in Prague Alisa realized that something wasn’t quite right. She visited her doctor and after a short while got diagnosed with cancer. She talks us through this whole journey with grace and confidence and as we speak she is on the other side of her strong chemotherapy and looking forward to spending her time with her daughter and boyfriend. Alisa’s story is one of strenght and joy and courage and it is her wish that it might help someone else listening in one day.
