E41. What is an IVF Journey? | Sophie Martin

As women we seemingly spend half of our lives trying not to get pregnant and the other half trying to or worrying about our abilities to conceive. The journey to motherhood is not always plain sailing and for some parents it’s a full on stormy, dark skies road. Operations, injections, lengthy waits, and baby loss feature in many more parents trying to conceive journeys than most of us are aware. Infertility and fertility struggles still remain a huge taboo subject but it is so important that parents on this journey can recognise that they are not alone. On this weeks episode I am delighted to be joined by Sophie Martin, a registered midwife who has been working in a central London hospital for the past 9 years. 4 years ago Sophie and her husband James started trying for a baby. Since then, they have undergone 6 rounds of IVF treatment, and sadly also said goodbye to their identical twins sons Cecil & Wilfred who were born prematurely at 21 weeks. Sophie has been sharing her story on her Instagram account @the.infertile.midwife, to spread awareness of infertility and baby loss, and to provide support to others who are also living through this. https://www.instagram.com/the.infertile.midwife/ And, I am sure I speak for many women when I say the biggest of thank you’s to Sophie for sharing her journey so openly and honestly to support others navigating a similar path.
