Episode 16 - Natalie Crawford MD

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Natalie Crawford, fertility physician, educator, podcast host, author, and mum of two.Natalie shares her own story of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, and together we talk about understanding our cycles, subchorionic hematomas, and how doctors can better support patients through the emotional side of TTC and loss.We also talk about navigating recurrent miscarriage, and I share some reflections on a recent Irish study titled “Recurrent miscarriage and infertility services and supports: A qualitative study of views and experiences in the Republic of Ireland.This conversation is full of compassion, honesty, and practical insight for anyone on a fertility journey. I’m so grateful to Natalie for bringing both her knowledge and her personal experience into this conversation.Connect with Natalie:Website: ⁠⁠nataliecrawfordmd.com⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@nataliecrawfordmd⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠As a Woman⁠⁠Her debut book The Fertility Formula is coming in 2026.💛 As always, if you’ve been impacted by pregnancy loss, please know you are not alone.
