In My Own Words with Host, Andrea. I talk about infertility and a difficult pregnancy, which ultimately led to starting this podcast in hopes to help others.

Going through infertility treatments (infertility drugs and IUI), as well as dealing with a difficult and painful pregnancy and was placed on bed rest were a few of the reasons I started this podcast.  I had wished that I had someone else with similar conditions I did to talk with, and I had promised myself that I would put the story out there one day in hopes to help someone else.

Two Facebook Groups are listed below that talk about different types of cerclages (cervical stitches, and mine was called a McDonald Cerclage), and Incompetent Cervix.

Recently published article that I found quite interesting, (and so true!) on how some pregnancy terms are harmful and need a rebrand. 

Harmful pregnancy terms like 'incompetent cervix' and 'lazy uterus' need a rebrand (msn.com)

 

More stories of hope and resilience coming in Season 2 later in June!
