An IVF Pregnancy after Birth Trauma

The Finding Joy Series on this podcast is where I talk about finding peace amidst chaos, reframing tough life choices, and navigating difficult times we go through as parents (especially as mothers).

On this episode, I talk about my feelings: nerves, excitement, and worry being pregnant with our IVF baby after having a traumatic delivery in 2019. I discuss:

• The common mix-bag of emotions felt during pregnancy
• How I’ve navigated my mental health during this process
• The very normal and oftentimes not-talked about feelings being pregnant with a child already and having a career
