Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 63: A RETURNING GUEST SPECIAL! Secondary Infertility Revisited, With Tara Montegriffo
Q: How did Tara navigate telling family about implantation and pregnancy?

Episode 63: A RETURNING GUEST SPECIAL! Secondary Infertility Revisited, With Tara Montegriffo
Q: How did Tara feel when she found out the IVF cycle had produced a viable embryo in February?
There was cautious optimism, mixed with the understanding that they still needed to get through further rounds and monitor for possible miscarriages, given the prior history.
Episode 44: From One to Two, with Roxane Codali
Q: How did Roxane approach the decision about a second birth and potential cesarean?
After weighing the risk factors from the first birth and medical advice, she chose a planned cesarean to reduce risk and ease recovery, with her partner supportive of the decision.
Episode 44: From One to Two, with Roxane Codali
Q: What was the experience of the first labour like for Roxane?
Extremely challenging and traumatic, involving an assisted delivery, long labour, back-to-back pain, and an eventual forceps delivery, with concerns about the baby's well-being and her own recovery.
Episode 33: To Rome, Baby! With Rochelle Ferreri
Q: How did language and culture shape your pregnancy and birth experience abroad?
She describes a Jan Italian household and a multilingual environment that influenced communication with clinicians, her husband, and family, and notes that language barriers among expat communities can be challenging yet supportive groups and familiar care teams made a big difference.
