Thanks so much to Caren-Christin for talking to me about her difficult pregnancy and remaining wholly positive in the face of a Down syndrome diagnosis. Please keep the family in your thoughts as they face open heart surgery for their little baby boy this summer.

This week, Kimberly Gowdy tells me how she came to write her fabulous book, The Colorless Womb, following a long journey of early and late losses that eventually led her going through surrogacy with an unexpected ally.

I had some mic issues while recording this one... so apologies for the dips in sound quality!

Thanks a million to Emily & Sophie for sharing your beautiful story! Today we talk about going down the at-home insemination route to conceive as a gay couple and the extra difficulties that come with trying for baby number 2.

I'll add a trigger warning here, as we talk a lot about our uncomplicated pregnancies that ended in live births, so maybe give this one a miss if you're not ready to hear that yet.

So grateful to the lovely Dharsh for sharing her long journey to motherhood. In this episode we talk about adenomyosis (endometriosis inside the uterus), IVF, laparoscopy, egg donors, adoption, miscarriage, twin pregnancy, and alternative therapies.
Dharsh is a fountain of incredibly useful knowledge and experience, hence the super long episode. I just couldn't cut anything out!

Welcome to the Waiting for Margot podcast!

In this intro episode I'll just give you a brief version of my story.

After that we'll to talk to different inspirational women & experts each week, share stories, discuss how other aspects of our lives affect fertility & family planning and vice versa. Let's have a relatively lighthearted and fun discussion that normalises the fact that it’s not always as easy as we grow up believing, all while reminding YOU that you’re not alone. Let's break taboos, make it ok to voice the thoughts and feelings we have and talk about the things we do that we feel guilty or ashamed about - to show that everyone else is thinking and doing the same things: and that’s ok!
