Show Notes

**TW Pregnancy Loss and Ectopic Pregnancy**

On today’s episode, I speak with Rebecca Horan. Head of Production for DMG Ireland, Mum to two gorgeous little girls, and as her bio says, professional talker!

Rebecca talks with me today about her multiple pregnancy losses when looking to conceive her second child, and the ectopic pregnancy that brought her to her lowest moments in her fertility journey.

She talks so openly and so beautifully about her experience, and tells me how she thinks her grief has changed her for the better.

All of our episodes deal with death and grief, but this episode deals with fertility loss and may not be suitable for all listeners.
