    • When we decided to make our podcast “The Long Road to Baby” for @bbc4radio our only hope was it would help someone. Even if just one person told us they’d taken something from it, it would all have been worth it. Now there are loads of you 🙌🏼 . We are so incredibly grateful for the reviews we’ve received so far. Thank you to those of you who have listened, rated, reviewed and shared it. Please do keep going, as we’d like it to reach and help as many people as possible . The link to the whole series is in my bio now 👆🏼and thanks again ❤️ . #TheLongRoadtoBaby #letstalkfertility #fertility #infertility #ivf #adoption #fosteringtoadopt #overseasadoption #donorconception #childlessness
    • Never a truer statement. Thank you for being so open and honest @michelleobama, and thank you @thisisalicerose for sharing. . . #Repost @thisisalicerose ・・・ Oh Michelle!!!! I loved you before and now my love is endless...thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your pain, sharing your experience and talking about fertility. If you haven’t seen the news Michelle Obama announces today she had a miscarriage and both of their girls were conceived through IVF. We are seeing enormous changes in this world and I feel so motivated and hopeful that the more we hear about it, the more it can help SO MANY PEOPLE. It’s extraordinary. Just one person (OK...so she’s kinda famous, but still- one person!) saying: yep, this happened to me too. And suddenly, across the world, men and women everywhere are thinking...thank god it’s not just me. Happy Friday. ✨✨✨✨
    • Too much love for this incredible woman and her gorgeous Fin. I cried reading and also fully and entirely support her message. More needs to be done. Go listen to @michellekennedylon on our Friends and Family piece (Ep 9) of “The Long Road to Baby” @bbc4radio podcasts. Love you honey ❤️ . #Repost @michellekennedylon ・・・ I don’t often use this platform to get on my soapbox, so I hope you’ll indulge me this one, and know how passionately I care about this subject.... This girl here, is my ride or die. We’ve been together since we were 18 years old, and we’ve lived some real life together. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her. Watching her and her gorgeous husband embark on the most emotional, heartbreaking, raw journey of trying for a baby, has been devastating, frustrating and revealing in equal measure. What’s been so clear is that there are and continue to be so many conversations surrounding fertility and gynaecological health that we are simply not having. We’re not talking about them when they really matter. I watch as much of the VC industry pumps money into erectile dysfunction, male pattern baldness, and, well scooters. I’m not minimising, I’m simply trying to highlight the THOUSANDS of issues affecting female health which we are not talking about. And we’re not investing in. Last I checked, women were 50% of the population. Women are being factored into the economy in a way we never were decades ago, and yet there is a lack of investment into issues which affect our health. Anyway, we can and must continue to use our voices to highlight these issues, to speak about the difficult, challenging, sometimes uncomfortable issues surrounding women’s health. Change won’t happen immediately, but it will come if we keep talking. In the meantime, please go and listen to @sophiesulehria and her brilliant podcast, The Long Road to Baby on @bbcradio4. We need to feel uncomfortable to make change. Love you girl @sophiesulehria ❤️
