About Me

Hi 👋🏼! My name is Yusria Malik and I live in total admiration of the strength and resilience inherent in all women.

I am also a board-certified OBGYN with over seven years of real world experience beyond residency training.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing thousands of journeys through pregnancy and childbirth—stories filled with awe, joy, resilience, fear, doubt, loss, grief and triumph.

Inspired by these powerful experiences, I’ve created The Present Gestation, a platform to spark meaningful conversations around pregnancy and childbirth, especially the challenges that come with them.

Through the voices of women who’ve lived these moments, I hope to foster empathy, understanding, and a space where medical expertise meets real-life storytelling.

Let’s explore these incredible stories together!
