How To Survive Christmas When You're Trying To Conceive

This podcast is all about How to survive Christmas when you're trying to conceive. Let me tell you what Christmas was like for me at times.... You are receiving all of these postcards in the mail from all of your friends with their happy family photos, with the kids wearing their Santa hats You have nieces and your kids' friends to buy for, so you are painfully having to go into all of these kids' toys and clothing stores. You are at your Christmas lunch and Aunt Martha starts rubbing your belly and saying, "Ooh, I think you might have something to tell us," and you're like, "No bitch, I've just eaten too much turkey." Your dad gets too drunk and then starts telling you, "When are you going to have children? You know that if you can't have children, then you would just adopt." Your best friend or one of your best friends start saying things to you like, "You know, I've had a chat with my husband and we have decided that we would be your surrogate if you needed us to be your surrogate." And then you switch on Facebook and all of these people have done these little videos and things like that saying, "Oh, awesome Christmas present. #soblessed" because they're now announcing their pregnancy. Christmas is like "Waah!" And then to top it all off, #fertilitydiet. You're trying not to drink and eat dairy and gluten and everything, all the good food like ice cream has those ingredients in.
