Trigger Warning: mentions of domestic abuse and infant loss

In this episode, I am joined by Social worker Rachel who became a young mum and experienced many hurdles through her fertility journey. Rachel talks about her son being diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease and the journey they went on, the aftermath and starting trying to conceive. 

What we discussed:

• Her life and how if changed after her mum remarried
• Her son’s diagnosis and the process which her and her husband went through
• The issues raised after her son’s death and the support she received
• How her experiences led her to her career and what she does to support others who may be in a similar situation as her
• Rachel talks about her remarriage and how another hurdle was thrown at her
• Rachel and her new husband desire to start a family and the problems raised through this
• The process of trying to get pregnant and all the treatments that Rachel had to go through 
• How we should focus more on Women's health from an early age
