The Baby Making Business

28. REASSURANCE SCANS, CARAVAN PARKS AND CO-DEPENDENCY

The Baby Making Business

Show Notes

This week we come to realise that no matter what we do, this pregnancy will always be viewed through the filter of IVF. We talk about the struggles that may bring , but also staying true to our mission statement - which is to normalise conversation around IVF.

Lauren has a wobble which ends up with us going for an extra “reassurance scan” where we almost misgender our unborn baby. Whilst there Lauren also comes to a strong decision that no one is calling her “mama” yet.

We talk about our wintry visit to an out of season caravan park and we finally take a quiz to determine whether or not we are co-dependent.
