Today we are joined by Hayley who talks us through her Molar pregnancy.
I am so grateful to Hayley for speaking with us today, her episode is very educational on a topic not often discussed. Molar pregnancies are very rare, one in one thousand pregnancies are affected so like me, you may not be aware of exactly what it entails.
Today we discuss;

An inconclusive first scan
Second scan confirmed Molar pregnancy
D&C
Diagnosis of complete Molar pregnancy
HCG monitoring
Unable to TTC for 6 months
Increased chance of repeat Molar pregnancy
HSG procedure
Current pregnancy and the emotions around that
Online support groups

We hope you enjoy this episode!
