Hit by a 110 MPH Foul Ball, 16 Weeks Pregnant | Michelle Margaux (Part 2)

She got hit by a 110 mph foul ball to the head. She was 16 weeks pregnant. And nobody at the ballpark knew either thing.
In Part 2 of this conversation, Katia Reguero Lindor continues her conversation with Emmy Award-winning sports reporter and SNY host Michelle Margaux. Michelle opens up about how motherhood made her more confident at work but less confident in other parts of her life, why she and her husband are already planning for how they'll parent differently, and the moment she had to compartmentalize her father's declining health while asking players about their home run celebrations, five minutes apart.
She also shares the story behind one of the most surreal moments of her career: getting hit in the head by a line drive foul ball while 16 weeks pregnant, hiding both the injury and the pregnancy from everyone around her in the moment, and going back to work anyway.
Michelle and Katia talk about privacy in the social media age, letting go of the instinct to protect your kids from everything, and the advice Michelle's dad gave her that changed the entire trajectory of her life.
