    Episode 32: Journeying through infertility, IVF & baby loss with Janine Fox

    On todays podcast I am talking to Janine Fox from New Zealand. We are going into detail about her experience with IVF & miscarriage, and also her work with a charity which captures families going through infant loss.
     
    Janine shares reassuring advice for families going through similar experiences, however if infertility, miscarriage and infant loss is a triggering subject for you, please do feel that you can skip this episode.
     
    If you or someone you know is going through something similar, there are a number of organisations you can contact for support.
     
    You can head to sands.co.uk - Sands is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity in the UK. The organisation exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to ensure that anyone affected by the death of a baby receives the best possible care and support for as long as they need it. 
     
    You can also visit arc-uk.org - Arc is a charity that helps parents and healthcare professionals through antenatal screening and its consequences.
     
    We really encourage you to reach out for support if you’re going through anything challenging in your life, whether that’s surrounding baby loss and fertility or anything else.
     
    We’re sending you all the love in the world, and want to give everyone listening a huge hug after delving into this episode.
