Our Full Pregnancy Journey, Miscarriage Story, Anatomy Scan, and Why We're Not Finding Out the Gender | TEN21 Podcast

Pita returns to the TEN21 Podcast for the most personal episode Castro and Peta have ever recorded together. On the day of their 21-week anatomy scan, the couple walks through the full pregnancy journey — the wedding, the Catholic marriage prep, learning Natural Family Planning for the first time, the first pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage in October 2025, and the second pregnancy that they announced live at the Argentina vs Curaçao World Cup match in Dallas. Peta opens up in depth about the miscarriage — from the moment something felt wrong, to the emergency room visit, to Castro using ChatGPT to diagnose what was happening before the doctors could confirm it, to the survey worker who walked into the room seconds after the diagnosis.

The couple also discuss the stigma around miscarriage in Hispanic culture, the emotional weight of holding the news through the holiday season, and how the miscarriage reshaped how they approached the second pregnancy. They talk through the decision to not find out the baby's gender at today's anatomy scan, the incredible 3D/4D ultrasound technology, the sonographer who almost spoiled the reveal, first-trimester nausea while streaming Los Aliens for the Kings League, being first-generation Mexican-Americans preparing for their first child, and their plan to raise the baby speaking Spanish first at home with an au pair.

The second half opens up into baby prep: Rupert runs the couple through a "Five Things A Newborn Needs" game (Castro's answers include a one-of-one Cristiano Ronaldo card, a scooter, a baby wipe warmer, and a Manchester United kit), they debate whether Castro can force the baby to support Manchester United over Mexico, and Peta explains why they're interviewing doulas for the delivery. The episode closes with a running joke about Castro's new nickname: "Little Daddy." A vulnerable, funny, and honest conversation about pregnancy, loss, first-time parenthood, and the Latino cultural nuances around it all.
