Hey Doc,

What happens when you’re pregnant with twins, working full-time, and living in a city with no family nearby?

In this first part of my conversation with Dr. Gina Dapul-Hidalgo, board-certified pediatric and adult allergist, private practice CEO, and twin mom, we go back to the beginning.

Before the CEO title.

Before the older-kid stage.

Back to the pregnancy. The delivery. The five-week postpartum return to work.

Dr. Gina shares what it was like to carry twins to 38 weeks, build a life far from home, and realize in real time that there wasn’t going to be a built-in village waiting.

We talk about the intentional decision she and her husband made to spend those first few days alone with their newborns, not because help wasn’t offered, but because they wanted to figure out who they were as parents first.

She opens up about:

  • Going back to work before her body had fully recovered
  • Navigating postpartum when your career doesn’t pause
  • What partnership actually looked like at 2:30 a.m. with two crying babies
  • And the quiet identity shifts that show up in things as small as swapping heels for flats

Whether you’re pregnant now, in the thick of postpartum, or long past the newborn phase but still navigating the weight of motherhood + medicine, this story will feel familiar in the best way.

🎧 Listen to Part 1 now, and make sure to come back for Part 2 next week.
