The golden-brown grass in the foreground appears dry and weathered, with a faint path leading toward a stone wall that stretches across the scene. The mountains in the background are partially obscured by mist, creating an atmospheric, almost otherworldly feel.

Unexpected Twin Pregnancy: Hannah’s Story

“What is that?” I asked, peering closer at the ultrasound photo. “Plague?” “Cysts,” my doctor said, her blue exam gloves snapping as she peeled them off. “Your ovaries are covered in them.” I was 19 years old, sitting in a sterile room with too-bright fluorescent lights hearing that I had something called polycystic ovarian syndrome […]

Hi, we're Olivia and Hannah

We're the moms behind Marian Mindset!
