The Worst Girl Gang Ever

S9 E18: IVF, Miscarriage & Ectopic Pregnancy: Laura Gallagher’s Journey of Loss and Healing


Listen Later

In this powerful and deeply emotional episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we reconnect with author, teacher and IVF warrior Laura Gallagher – also known as @RoboMummy – as she opens up about her ongoing fertility journey, life after loss, and the healing process after multiple miscarriages, including two traumatic ectopic pregnancies.

Laura first joined us back in 2021 to discuss the release of her children’s book Robo Babies and her experience with IVF to conceive her son. Since then, her journey has taken many unexpected turns – from natural conceptions she never thought possible, to heartbreaking losses, emergency surgery abroad, and finding healing through therapy, spirituality, and radical self-reflection.

In this episode, Laura shares:

  • The emotional and physical toll of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage

  • Navigating fertility challenges after IVF – and what happens when it doesn't work

  • The impact of baby loss on mental health and marriage

  • Finding comfort through manifestation, energy healing, and spiritual perspective

  • The pressure of trying to conceive again while parenting after infertility

  • How she's learned to live with acceptance and even gratitude after loss

  • Open conversations with children about IVF, grief, and resilience

    This episode is full of raw honesty, emotional growth, and comforting insight for anyone facing infertility, pregnancy loss, or the pressure of expanding a family after IVF. Laura’s spiritual lens and refreshing vulnerability will speak deeply to those who’ve ever felt “left behind” on the path to parenthood.
