In this episode Kirsty and Sarah discuss having babies and infertility in the expat world.

Sarah and Kirsty come from different ends of the spectrum with Kirsty giving birth to 4 babies in different countries while Sarah has struggled with infertility issues and miscarriages.

The first article we discussed was this one from the Wall Street Journal.

A common theme among many expats giving birth and undergoing fertility treatment is bedside manner or the lack thereof. Different countries and different cultures lead to a varying degree of birthing experiences.

For anyone who has suffered through miscarriages or knows someone who has you might be interested to read this blog post from Sarah’s blog Lady Sadie’s Emporium.
