Description

On today’s episode, Ali talks to her friend Arden Cartrette, bereavement doula & trauma support specialist, about everything she went through to have her baby son, Cameron. Arden, who you might know on IG as @themiscarriagedoula, works with women to get through miscarriage and grief--and she goes there—and tells it like it is—like no other. Arden talks about what she calls her “morbidly beautiful," miscarriages, how she still realy struggles with the PTSD of the blood and the miscarriage itself, and why she calls herself the most "fertile infertile" person ever. She also talks about how pregnancy after loss can be a scary and miserable time, and why, when Cameron was born, she refused to open her eyes. SPONSORS:FERTILITY RALLY www.fertilityrally.com and @fertilityrally, offers 24/7 Community, Content and Curated Events. Give yourself or a fellow infertility warrior the gift of support while navigating your journey.

In this unfiltered podcast about infertility, Brooklyn-based journalist and mom-of-two Ali Prato, who went through secondary infertility and IVF herself, talks to women—and some men—about the messy, frustrating, painful, heartbreaking, absurd and sometimes hilarious journey to have a baby. Or in some cases, to not have a baby. Each episode tells a different story about family building, getting real about miscarriages, egg freezing, sperm and egg donation, IUIs, endometriosis, male factor infertility, adoption, surrogacy, genetic testing, single parenting by choice, LGBTQ+ fertility, living childless not by choice, depression, relationship issues, money issues, jealousy, PTSD, and so much more. Ali covers all of the outcomes in this safe, non-judgement zone: the happy endings, the soul-crushingly sad ones, and the ones still in limbo.
