Ep 13
Zara Dawson TFMR, Termination for Medical Reasons, IVF success and Loss
This week’s episode is so very close to my heart and still very raw as I have just gone through the heart break of having to have a termination for medical reasons just a few weeks ago after having multiple fertility treatments this year.
In this episode Zara joins me to share her devastating experience of having to have a Termination for Medical Reasons as her son Jesse was diagnosed in utero as having body stalk anomaly and sadly would not live outside of her womb.
This really is an impossible decision and one that no parent should ever have to make. I will invite you to listen to the full episode as this is so complex, layered and so deeply personal to every parent that sadly has to painfully walk this path for what are very wanted pregnancies and babies.
