Kellie shares the journey to having her daughter, Delta, who is now 7, and what happened when she started to try for baby number two. She talks about a number of pregnancy losses, including a devastating second trimester loss, and when they made the decision to do IVF.

In this episode, we meet Josie, a qualified teacher living in the Albury-Wodonga region who shares her journey to motherhood and her two unique birth experiences. Her story highlights the complexities of navigating healthcare across state borders and the resilience required through pregnancy loss, renovation chaos, and building a family.__________ It's no surprise that restful sleep is hard to come by pregnancy. Pillows are a great way to get comfortable at night and if you find one that prevents back sleeping, it can takeaway the stress of waking up on your back. That's why I recommend the Sleepybelly pregnancy pillow. Sleepybelly is the original three-piece adjustable maternity pillow designed to provide peace of mind by encouraging safe side sleeping or while giving your belly some much needed relief. Sleepybelly don't normally discount their products, but they have provided a $10 off promo code for Australian Birth Stories listeners.

What emotional toll does secondary infertility take on a mother already caring for a young child? The transcript reveals the immense challenges Leah faces, from the physical complications of a previous C-section to the devastating cycle of miscarriages.  Juggling the demands of motherhood while grieving the loss of unborn children has clearly taken a significant mental and emotional toll. Leah's experiences of PTSD symptoms, insomnia, and feelings of devastation highlight the profound impact of this journey.  There is a societal stigma surrounding miscarriage, which can further compound the isolation and difficulty of the situation. Despite these obstacles, Leah has found solace in coping mechanisms like writing and gardening, as well as the support of her husband and friends. Her resilience in the face of such adversity is truly admirable. The Warriorship is a membership to help you navigate life after baby loss.

"I've hit the point of burnout multiple times in my life. Most recently it was after I started my coaching business. So I was working full time as a primary care outaptient physician and I was coaching my clients on my admin half day and weekends. I realized that what was burning me out was medicine post-pandemic. I just couldn't do it anymore and it took me a while to recognize why I was feeling the way I was feeling. So I took some time to self-reflect. Actually a year ago in August I took 4 weeks off of unpaid leave becasue I was just fed up. I needed some space and some time to figure out how I am going to move forward in everything that I love. I love clinical medicine. I love building that relationship with my patients, but then there's all of the other BS. Here in the United States the system is broken - period. We can make small changes here and there but in the end I decided that being a full time physician and full time coach wasn't possible."This episode is with Dr. Flora Sinha, who is a primary care physician, a physician coach, and a podcast host.In this episode we talk about:- Her experience with secondary infertility- How/when she decided to stop fertility treatments- Happiness with her current family size- How to respond to invasive/inappropriate questions about your personal life, particularly your family size- Her experience with burnout- Taking 4 weeks of unpaid leave to figure out how she wanted to move forward- Starting her coaching business- Her podcast - The Beyond Podcast- Her decision to share her life publicly on social media and why Connect with Moms of Medicine:- Instagram @moms_of_medicine- Momsofmedicine@gmail.comConnect with Dr. Flora Sinha:- Instagram @drflorasinha- Instagram @the.beyondpodcast- the beyond podcast on apple, spotify, and youtube

Today, Ali is talking to fierce infertility warrior and mama Maggie Phipps, co-founder of Larken (which means "fierce" in Gaelic), a comfy essentials brand for anyone navigating fertility treatments, postpartum, motherhood, and beyond. Maggie shares how her mom had three miscarriages; how she herself had an early miscarriage; and how conceived her first two kids naturally, but then had trouble with baby number three. She also talks about her traumatic ectopic pregnancy and how she felt brushed off by several doctors when she told them she was in pain. Maggie also shares how she navigated the devastation of losing her baby in that ectopic, going through emergency surgery; how she was just a few hours away from "bleeding out," and what happened in her family building journey after that. For more, go to www.shoplarken.com and follow on IG: @larken_shop.

(Trigger warning: secondary infertility, miscarriage)1:8 couples will experience secondary infertility. Allie Karagozian, Occupational Therapist, momma, and founder of @holdingboth, always knew she wanted to be a mom. After using fertility treatments to conceive her first child, she was overjoyed to become a mother. When she and her husband were ready for a second child, they were met with secondary infertility troubles. From that hardship, @holdingboth was created with the mentality that it is okay to be thankful to have a child, but still grieve not being able to have another. Allie wants to bring more awareness to secondary infertility and through her business she provides support and a safe landing place for those families walking through it. Allie wants you to know that it's important to take care of your mental health during the journey of secondary infertility. She highly recommends that you and your partner seek therapy through any outlet you feel comfortable with, whether that's through your insurance, BetterHelp, or support groups like the ones Allie hosts. And if you're a friend of someone going through infertility, it can be hard to know what to say and ask. Allie gives us a great insight as to what thoughtful questions to ask to show you care without causing overwhelm.And if you are going through a pregnancy loss, we want you to know it's okay to ask for help. Ask a friend or family to take your other children for the day so you can rest. And please give yourself some grace during this time. We understand this is a sensitive topic, and if listening to this episode is too much right now, we understand, and encourage you to tune back when the timing is right. Links & Resources:Enroll in the HERself Self-Care CourseFollow Allie on InstagramAllie's WebsiteListen to Allie's Podcast: The Secondary Infertility PodcastThe Miscarriage Doula on Instagram Resolve Support Group for Men10% off at BETTERHELPFree sample pack with purchase of LMNTLet's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Half way through this season! Joined by Julie Ledwidge as we talk secondary infertility, waiting for no2, healing the trauma of almost losing her life after your 1st was born, and the power of deeply letting go.After Julie had her son Max, she developed sepsis. Julie has done amazing work to edicate and spread awareness of sepsis on her instagram page and on other podcasts - and so I wanted to explore her road to finding the confidence to go again, the distress of realising this pregnancy wasn't happening, the work she did on herself mentally, emotionally and with a supportive doctor to conceive to have her baby girl and to now understand what postpartum can be like without trauma. Thank you for being here and for supporting me, Stretch Marks and my guests. I'd love you to share this with anyone you think needs to hear it and leaving a little review where ever you're listening.

Jordy has always had long, painful and heavy periods so when she fell pregnant without trying, no one was more shocked than her. Excess amniotic fluid prevented her from monitoring her baby's movements so she presented to the hospital multiple times and opted for a planned caesarean at 38 weeks. Her birth experience was incredibly positive and after breastfeeding for the first time in recovery, she went on to feed baby Evie for three years. Since being diagnosed with adenomyosis, endometriosis and cysts on her ovaries, Jordy is navigating secondary infertility alongside medication and persistent pain. She speaks candidly about the daily challenges of her pain as well as the heartache of failed pregnancies.

#018: *This episode has mentions of infant loss, termination by choice, and traumatic miscarriage. If you find any of these triggering, please consider skipping this episode. Listener discretion is advised.   You're 20 weeks pregnant and the unthinkable happens. You go for a routine ultrasound and to find out the results of the genetic testing you had done a few weeks ago. What should be a happy time ends up being a day where your entire world comes crashing down around you. The doctor tells you the test show your unborn baby has trisomy 18, otherwise known as Edwards syndrome. It's a genetic condition that causes delays and fetal growth development and life expectancy for children diagnosed with it is very short due to several life threatening complications, including congenital heart and kidney disease. In today's episode, I talk with Chelsea Paiz about her journey to motherhood. What went through her mind after her daughter's diagnosis? How she deals with people who may not understand her decision, and how she's still struggling with secondary infertility today.

Trigger Warning - This episode contains discussion surrounding Pregnancy loss. If today is not a good day, please come back to this episode when you're feeling a little stronger. Here at The Fertility podcast, we're always here for you.We're delighted that this week's episode is sponsored by The Lowdown - the place to get the lowdown on your reproductive health. Learn about your fertility share your experiences and read those of others.In this week's episode of The Fertility Podcast, I am joined by a patient of mine - Katie. Katie @secondary_infertility_life shares her story of secondary infertility, IVF and pregnancy loss.Katie knows that she is really lucky to have her little boy Jake. Jake is everything to Katie and more, however she just feels that, as yet, her family is not complete. However Katie found the process of trying to conceive again really isolating. Somehow it just felt harder to find support when you already have a child. I firmly believe that trying to conceive the second (or third, or fourth) time around is different as not only do you want a baby for yourselves but you desperately want a sibling for your existing child. So that they don't grow up alone in life. This is exactly how Katie felt.After trying unsuccessfully for a year or so, Katie and her husband finally found out that they were pregnant. Fantastic news! However, Katie could tell something wasn't quite right with the pregnancy, and sadly at 8 weeks they went for a scan and there was no heartbeat. Katie ended up miscarrying at home and she talks about how she felt OK physically, but took time for her to heal emotionally.After trying for another 6 months, Katie and her partner decided to start IVF. Katie had a top grade frozen embryo transfer in November last year and got a positive pregnancy test. Sadly, at Christmas, there was no heartbeat again and Katie had a miscarriage in the hospital. Katie talks about her positive experience of miscarrying at the hospital and how she got all the support she needed.Katie went for her 3rd transfer, which was sadly unsuccessful again and by this point Katie says she knew something else was wrong. She wanted to find out more and made the decision to have NK Cell testing. This identified a high level of natural killer cells which has informed her treatment going forward. At the time of recording Katie was about to embark on her next round of treatment and I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing her the very best. We're hoping this is the one Katie!Katie's advice to listeners is to trust yourself and your gut, to keep driving and find out what further investigations are out there for you and get knowledgeable. Make your own decision on what's best for you and you alone.Socials:Follow @TheFertilityPodcast on InstagramFollow @your_fertility_nurse on InstagramFollow @secondary_infertility_life on InstagramFollow @get.the.lowdown on Instagram

What happens when becoming pregnant goes from being quick and easy to long, emotional and difficult?   This week, we're speaking with Shyla Brown, a mother of 4 babes- 3 of whom were born at home. We'll walk through Shyla's experiences of pregnancy, which range from fast and unexpected to long-awaited while she struggled with secondary infertility. Shyla will share what she learned from that experience and the pelvic therapy that made SUCH a massive difference for her. And for those of you who are interested, that information is in the show notes, so go check it out!   Shyla was a student of mine inside of The Homebirth Collective while she prepared for her fourth baby. While she'd already had 3 births under her belt, Shyla knew that she wanted to re-enter birth and motherhood differently-- more sacredly-- this time around. And that's where the HBC came in. If you're looking to prepare for both your homebirth and the deep foundations of your sacred motherhood experience, I hope you'll join me inside of The HBC.

As we head into this week's episode roundup, I want to focus on the hope and joy that came alongside the pain of Shyla's struggle with secondary infertility. She did not give up on her dream of more children, she continued to learn and search, and she found such an amazing resource. There was so much pain in the losses she experienced, both of babies and her father, but there was a rainbow, indeed. And even moreso, I love that Shyla, CONTINUED to focus on her emotional healing after her third birth. When she became unexpectedly pregnant with Ulysses, baby #4, she knew she needed to take her mental and emotional preparation seriously, and that's exactly what she did inside of The Homebirth Collective. She didn't have to bring the hurt and sadness of her previous experiences into her birth, and that made all the difference.   This Week's Sponsors: Araza Beauty: Code HOMEBIRTH for 15% off Informed Pregnancy+   Join The Homebirth Collective Join Happy Homebirth Academy Code PODCAST for 10% off  

Emmy-award winning news anchor and reporter Jenny Anchondo has reported on stories for over a decade, and has spent her career hearing people's life stories, but admits that until being touched by pregnancy loss and secondary infertility, she never had the desire to share her own story. Part of Jenny's story is the lack of awareness and knowledge she says that she had about her fertility, especially after easily conceiving her first child with her husband. As Jenny admits, “I didn't think you can age out of this process…like everybody else, I saw celebrities having children well into their 40s and 50s and it seemed to be happening frequently. Nobody was telling the story otherwise…”Now, at 41 years old, as Jenny prepares to have a baby after many years of losses and IVF setbacks, she says she's an open book so that people can learn what she wishes she knew and so that she can support others who are struggling to conceive, or feeling as isolated as she did through the devastation of pregnancy loss. This episode also features commentary from Dr. Dorette Noorhasan MD, a CCRM Fertility Specialist who deeply understands this pain point both professionally and personally. She shares important education on miscarriage and fertility in this episode's mid-roll. This episode is presented by CCRM Dallas-Fort Worth, a world class fertility clinic dedicated to providing industry-leading patient care and outcomes.

In this episode, I talk with Moriah and answer the question “How do I validate myself in my struggles with secondary infertility?” Moriah has two children from a previous relationship, but she and her husband of four years have been unable to have a child of their own. She is in a unique position where she belongs to the infertility community but feels guilty for struggling with that heartache when she already has two children.Moriah wants to have a biological child with her husband. That is a legitimate desire. I ask her if she can hold the fact that she has two children who she loves deeply and that she is sad she hasn't been able to have another child with her husband. Wanting another child does not mean she is less grateful for her children; it means she has an unmet hope that she has to grieve.Have you ever thought, “I want to ask Dr. Julie Hanks a question”?
