  • 154 - My laptop is frying my uterus?

    Hiii mosquitoes, welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence! This week, Sakshi and Naina get into the question that starts stalking every woman at some point in her twenties: motherhood.

    Do we actually want kids? Would we make good moms? What if your baby is radioactive? How do you pick the right person to have a child with? And how much of yourself are you willing to give up to become a mother? Plus, the moms of MOS wrote in to tell us their experiences of motherhood, leaving us feeling extremely humbled.
