The Juna Women Podcast is a weekly discussion where Juna Founder, Sarah Kuhn, talks to Moms about their health, work, parenting, and all the different ways they’re keeping it together.

This is Episode 023, High Risk Pregnancies, Premature Babies, and Infant Loss with Parijat Deshpande.

In this episode Sarah talks with Parijat Deshpande, an expert in counseling women through high risk pregnancies and helping them overcome trauma associated with infant loss, premature delivery, and other pregnancy related complications.

They talk about high risk pregnancies, the connection between neurological function and pregnancy, her own infant loss and premature delivery, and how the mind body work during her stint in the hospital enabled her to keep her son in her body for an extra 15 days – which for him meant life or death.

Parijat was inspired to make this work her calling so she could empower other women working through similar problems and arm them with tools to manage their unique situation.

This is an incredibly fascinating and illuminating conversation. Hope you enjoy.

About Parijat Deshpande, MS, CCTSI

Parijat Deshpande is a high risk pregnancy expert, mind-body health specialist, and advocate for Moms with high risk pregnancies and pre-term birth.

After personally going through a very high-risk pregnancy, with 8 complications during one pregnancy, 16 weeks of bed rest at home and 2 weeks of strict bed rest in the hospital, Parijat learned first hand how lonely and confusing this experience is. 

​With the constant cyclone of “what ifs” in your brain, an obsessive pull to search all corners of the internet for some clue about what will happen to your baby, and the desperate urge you feel to do something, anything, to make sure your baby will come home to you, a high-risk pregnancy is an experience very few people truly understand.
