The Baby Making Business

SERIES 2. EPISODE 2 - GRIEF, GPS AND WE FOR SURE NEED THERAPY AFTER IVF

The Baby Making Business

Show Notes

We are (kind of) away on our babymoon - but we’ve trashed the joint.

This week we talk about how navigating grief recently has made us reflect on our IVF journey. This throws up lots of questions: when and how do you process all of this; especially if you are still navigating it, how has IVF impacted our relationship and how will it impact us as parents?

We visit Slough and discuss Boomer Dad’s love of roads.

Do Camels have multiple bladders? Lauren does an offensive Welsh accent to Welsh people and also gets up to pee mid episode. Unprofessional.
