#48: Our Life Updates: Infertility & Postpartum

The last few months have been wild for Dr. Morgan and myself and as we kick of season 4 of the Healthy As A Mother podcast, we wanted to share our updates, the struggles we have both been going through, and share what prompted our extended break of this podcast. Although we know a lot about fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum between the two of us, it doesn't mean we are immune from the struggle within those seasons. In fact, it's because of our struggles that we are often able to help and bring support to women just like you because we get it.
