Should we do prenatal genetic testing?
Any Questions? A Podcast About Conception, Pregnancy and Realistic Motherhood
09/18/24 • 39 min
Prenatal genetic testing (or, more accurately, prenatal genetic screening) is a controversial issue for some parents and a big decision for all pregnant people.
After sharing a bit of a pregnancy update (2nd trimester, maybe not as fun as it should be!), I go into the different testing options available (like the SIPS, NIPT and NT), how we decided on the right tests for us, how you can make your decision and the roller coaster we've had with testing so far.
PS: I mention a few times that I'm going to look into the nuchal translucency ultrasound. Unfortunately, after doing a bit more research after I recorded, it turns out you have to be between ~10-13 weeks pregnant for this test and I'm past that.

How do I block out other people’s voices & opinions?

Whether you're TTC (trying to conceive), pregnant or parenting, it can be hard to escape other people's opinions, ideas and advice. Even when they mean well and even when they're a trusted source of info, sometimes all of those voices are just too much!
In this episode, I'm chatting about how to know when the external voices are too much, how to check in with yourself about what you really need, and how to block out the unnecessary noise!

In an emotional episode, I'm taking you through our journey with genetic testing during pregnancy, some bad results we received, how I'm handling (or not handling!) it and what comes next. It's a lot of waiting, anxiety and missing out on the joys of pregnancy. Apologies for the tears in this episode and thank you, in advance, for your support and well wishes!

How do you process other people’s reactions to your fertility/TTC journey?
Any Questions? A Podcast About Conception, Pregnancy and Realistic Motherhood
02/28/24 • 37 min
It's one thing to process your own reactions to TTC. But how do you handle it when the people in your life don't react the way you want them to or thought they would?
While many individuals and couples decide to keep their TTC journey and fertility struggles to themselves, many more decide to share the news with some close loved ones (or even share their journey publicly). But that opens you up to reactions, opinions and the constant pressure to provide updates.
In today's episode, I'm going over the three options for sharing your fertility journey and my advice for how to deal with other people's reactions.
