Anna Christie, a 32-year-old Australian living in Amsterdam, is the founder and host of the podcast "Bumps Along the Way." She joins Peet as a guest to share her journey of trying to conceive and the challenges she and her husband faced with infertility. Initially not taking it seriously, they decided to start trying for a baby after their wedding but encountered unexpected difficulties. Anna describes the emotional toll of the "loop of hope and heartbreak" as they dealt with the disappointment of not conceiving month after month.

The struggle with infertility took a toll on their mental health and relationship. Anna emphasizes the importance of opening up to loved ones and finding supportive people who understand the emotional burden they carry. She advises against giving unsolicited advice and instead encourages empathy and understanding when supporting someone dealing with infertility.

As a sensitive topic, Anna discusses how friends should approach announcing pregnancies to someone who has been struggling with infertility. Anna's candid sharing highlights the need for more open discussions about infertility, fostering understanding and support for those facing similar challenges.
