Am I ready to have a baby? Can you ever be ready? Age, hormone health, parenting values, your relationship with yourself and with your partner

Update: 2023-11-05

Description

One of us is ready for this new chapter, while the other is feeling the pressure of being a woman in her thirties (and all that comes with that), wanting to pause time for a little and enjoy the present.

In this episode we explore the immense pressure we feel to have this answer all figured out when our lives are entangled with things like PCOS and hormone imbalances, unhelpful fertility advice from doctors, new relationships, and the stress of that biological clock. We talk honestly about what having a baby might realistically mean for us and our relationships (the good and the bad), and question the expectations we feel around this topic.
