Hello, and welcome to today's episode about T21.

This is a panel episode, with three different guest, all of whom have experienced TFMR due to a T21 diagnosis.

All three women share their stories of processing the impact of a T21 diagnosis, how they thought about what this meant for themselves, their babies and their whole family and how they feel about it now.

Becky is a midwife and she talks about how the process was for her, then and now, as a medical professional working with pregnancy and birth. Loren found out one of the twins she was carrying had T21, she went through a selective termination at 32 weeks. Reeya discovered she was pregnant in her third trimester, it was a delightful surprise that quickly turned into a traumatic nightmare.

Hello, and welcome to today's episode.

We're speaking with Kaitlyn and Erika from the US, and Claire from Ireland, about advocacy for TFMR (and abortion).

Unless you have been on the moon (!) for the last 12 months, there's a US election about to be decided on the 5th November, and women's reproductive rights is a key issue.

Kaitlyn and Erika tell us about their experiences with advocacy within the US. How and why they are doing it and how they are holding up. We hear from Claire about the formation of TFMR Ireland, their key part in winning the right to a referendum on Ireland's restrictive abortion laws, and then going on and winning that referendum, changing Ireland's laws on abortion.

These are three brilliant women, who out of trauma and grief are using their pain as power. 

As always, listen to your gut on choosing to listen to this episode. If you know us, you know we don't shy away from hard truths and direct language.

Hello and welcome back to season 10!

In this episode I am speaking with Jane fisher, Director of Antenatal Results and Choices about TFMR and abortion within the political sphere.

Many do not realise how much ARC keeps up with the abortion debate within the UK and how they insure that politicians are informed and educated about TFMR. Unfortunately, we always need to be on our toes for those politicians seeking to lower the gestation age for abortion (24 weeks in the UK) and/or trying to ban women from being able to have a TFMR for certain conditions, like T21.

We discuss what happened just before the UK election this summer and how ARC quietly works in the background on these issues.

We hope you enjoy listening. Get in touch and let us know what you think.
