Ep. 10 - Ilana's story part 2 - Natural conception and IVF plus update from part 1

In this weeks episode we had the absolute pleasure of chatting to Ilana, a wife and mother from Newcastle, NSW to continue with part 2 of her story. She addresses some questions and feedback she received from her first story (ep. 8). We then jump in talking about her first pregnancy which was a natural conception and a LONG labour during peak COVID before diving into her second pregnancy with her newest bub, Minnie, who is an IVF baby. Ilana discusses her trouble with conception, endometriosis and intrusive thoughts during this episode as well. Ilana is such a moving speaker. She is so honest and open about everything she's had to endure to get to where she is today and we thank her for being so vulnerable with us all. You can tell how passionate she is about helping others, particularly those in less fortune situations. This episode is such a great follow on from part 1 where we spoke about Ilana's up bringing and now the wonderful life and family she has created. We hope you all enjoyed following along with Ilana's journey! If you want to keep learning more about Ilana then head over to her Instagram where she will be updating about her life and also her experiences with conception and infertility. @thereallifeshift Donate to Ilana and her family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/nathan-lawrence?utm_campaign=p_cp%20share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram_story&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2IHbe7axGk8ySSAi6Rt2RAlm044ievsy6tLmc-f_Rt-trM5_NwPEgTrlo_aem_Ab37Ub4M59FSF5thSnyJmRj6MaL5HfVXEQllJuCkYs0GiXDzhzF5k1qWsRytN_Do2WBYNuIBFtotqfx7o_xeNftb As always, we'd love for you to get in touch with us!
