Content warning: this episode discusses pregnancy loss and infertility. If either of these themes are triggering for you, please take care while you’re listening. Just a reminder that this episode is a personal story and any information shared in this podcast should not be used as a replacement or substitute for professional medical advice.
Today’s guest is my beautiful friend Rachel, a mum to Winnie and wife to Dre. She and Dre lived through 8 years of trying to conceive before they had their perfect little girl six months ago so if you’re looking for a happy ending kind of fertility story – this one of the most joyous ones I know. Rachel takes us through their entire journey with fertility treatment, their two miscarriages, and all the feelings and emotions that come with trying to conceive. I hope this episode is the kind of conversation about infertility that many of you feel is needed – a true, raw and completely honest account about life on the other side of deeply longing for a child and doing whatever it takes to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.
