S6 Ep7: #71 PCOS and finally pregnant with Vanessa Haye

This week I'm joined by writer and reproductive health advocate Vanessa Haye  Vanessa is also mum of 2 boys, the youngest being just 7 months old. Vanessa only shared she was finally pregnant after he was here safely, something she talks about during our chat. We also talk in detail about her experiences of having polycystic ovaries which seemingly went undiagnosed for years – something that it seems happens all too often! As promised in the episode, please see lots of links below.

Getting through the 9 months of pregnancy after infertility and loss can be tougher than you might think. Plus, the impact our experiences can have on our parenting is beginning to be recognised. Up until recently the support for those finally pregnant and parenting has been limited. The Finally Pregnant Podcast, with host Cat Strawbridge, aka @tryingyears (https://www.instagram.com/tryingyears/) on socials, is here to change that. You can also find out more @finallypregnant (https://www.instagram.com/finallypregnant/) . Including stories from others who have or are going through their own pregnancies and are willing to share their anxieties along with what they've learnt, there will also be a host of experts sharing 'normal' pregnancy advice, but in this safe space. Have a listen and do get in touch with any ideas for future episodes.
