Less Straightforward

This week I'm discussing a little more about what I'm doing differently to support my journey to conception. Gentle reminder, this is not medical advice and I am not a medical professional. Only you (and your doctor, midwife, or nurse practitioner) know what is right for you body.

This week I chat with Mary about Midwifery and why it might be an option for you to consider on your journey. Mary shares her own story through pregnancy, birth, and beyond, with a midwife as her care provider.

This week I talked with Donnie about his unexpected pregnancy as a trans man, and the effects of the medical mistreatment he sustained before and during his pregnancy. Content warning: we talk about some heavy topics including medical trauma, depression, and shame. This is Part One of a two part episode special.

This week I chatted with Briana and Sabra, who share their conception journey to three wonderful children. We also talk about second parent adoption, and some of the necessary steps to take in California for families who use a known donor.
