Today, Natalie tells Mary about her long and difficult journey to motherhood. Natalie went through a difficult childhood and experienced a delayed period. She thought that “something is terribly wrong with me”. As a Christian, her faith was a comfort to her, particularly reading Psalm 91.

Natalie was diagnosed with MRKH, after a whirlwind of tests were done. Connecting with friends, crafting, and reading helped her go through and process what she was told.

Natalie has fostered children, had a uterine transplant, has gone through IVF, and is waiting for COVID 19 to pass to undergo surrogacy.

For her health, she consistently takes a multivitamin, probiotic, magnesium, and a metabolism protein drink daily. Exercising daily also make her feel better and has helped her lose weight, as well as cutting calories. Follow her on Instagram @mymrkhlife
