Fertility 'Waiting Rooms' & Telling A Friend That You're Pregnant When They're Struggling With Fertility


Listen Later

Hey lifers!

If you’re married, did one of you in the partnership want the marriage more than the other? Britt and Ben came to the decision mutually…we think. Ben blink twice 😂Britt is in trouble for ‘practicing’ wearing her wedding ring and Laura shares the behind the scenes of designing Britt’s wedding rings and deciding on the size of the diamonds. 

Are you a road rager or do you keep your cool? How about if you’ve got your kids in the car. Laura thought she was on top of it but Lola has exposed the truth of her driving habits!

Today we have a deep chat about how to navigate your close friendships when you’re in different phases of life especially when it comes to pregnancy and fertility. Laura shares her hesitations and considerations of telling Britt that she was pregnant with their third baby. Britt opens up about the range of emotions she experienced. We unpack whether it’s actually possible to hold space for both joy and sadness in a friendship—being happy for someone and grieving something for yourself at the same time. 

We speak about:

  • How do you hold space for your excitement while also being mindful of friends who might have a different experience with fertility?
  • What it’s like to be in the ‘waiting room’ of motherhood—not knowing what your outcome will be
  • The confusion around when is the right time to have children
  • Fertility privilege
  • The best way to tell a friend you’re pregnant if they’re struggling with fertility
