    S12 E7 - Suzanne - T21 & Navigating TFMR in Ireland

    This week we talk to Suzanne from Galway about her baby’s diagnosis of T21 and high drops.  Suzanne had to have additional scans during her pregnancy because medical professionals ‘hoped’ her baby would die naturally, to prevent her from travelling to England for a termination for medical reasons.  This was not the case & the day before she was due to fly, the hospital cancelled her appointment because a lift was broken and then, when she arrived in Liverpool, she was told that they didn’t have a surgeon and would need to be transferred to Middlesborough. All this while trying to navigate the devastation of knowing that she wouldn’t be bringing home her baby.  During the transfer, she was asked to take a box with her and later discovered that inside the box were the instruments that were needed to carry out her termination.  This is a devastating story and a clear demonstration of the pain caused by current abortion laws.  Taboo exists, and Suzanne highlights this bravely and articulately.  During the episode we speak about a support group that Suzanne has found huge comfort in, "Let Me Choose" or Leanbh mo Chroí - they can be found at https://lmcsupport.ie/about We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation. We’re all about bringing people together who are going through the tough stuff — baby loss, infertility, and everything in between — and making sure no one has to face it alone.

    S12 E6 - Natalie, Misconceptions, triggers & being childless not by choice.

    This week we spoke to Natalie,  Following 3 rounds of IVF, the final resulting in a missed miscarriage, Natalie speaks about how she has begun to navigate being childless not by choice. She talks about her experience of fertility testing and IVF and the difficulties she had both physically and emotionally, with medical professionals.  We speak about expectations, misconceptions and how to look after yourself properly. As a therapist herself, Natalie learned that she would need to make some changes to protect and restore her mental wellbeing and that those changes would come with guilt.  We explore guilt, shame and how it feels to be ambivalent about becoming a parent, before having that decision taken from you.  A very thought provoking episode.  We are The Worst Girl Gang Ever Foundation.
