Trigger Warning: Mentions of domestic abuse and infant loss.
In this episode, I am joined by Social worker Rachel- who became a young mum and experienced many hurdles through her fertility journey. She talks about her son being diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease and their journey, the aftermath, and trying to conceive.
What we discussed:
- Rachel’s life and how it changed after her mum remarried
- Her son’s diagnosis and the process which she and her husband went through
- The issues raised after her son’s death and the support she received
- How her experiences led her to her career and what she does to support others who may be in a similar situation as her
- She talks about her remarriage and how another hurdle was thrown at her
- Rachel and her new husband desire to start a family and the problems raised through this
- The process of trying to get pregnant and all the treatments that Rachel had to go through
- How we should focus more on Women’s health from an early age
