Struggling to conceive again after having your first baby? You’re not alone. Many women assume that if they got pregnant easily the first time, baby #2 (or #3) will be just as simple—but reality often tells a different story.

In this episode of Egg Meets Sperm, Dr. Aumatma Simmons breaks down why fertility struggles after baby #1 are more common than you think and what you can do about it.
