Summary

Since high school we’ve been led to believe that having a baby was as inevitable as a Sunday morning hangover in your twenties. So what happens when your fertility “journey” takes a massive detour? In this limited series from Betches Media and the Oversharing podcast, host Jordana Abraham explores the various paths to parenthood that lay ahead when starting a family doesn’t come easy. In the first episode of Baby Steps, presented by BetterHelp, Jordana is joined by her big sister and co-host of the Oversharing podcast, Dr. Naomi Bernstein. Together, they walk us through the ups and downs of Jordana’s own efforts to have a child, including what it’s like to experience multiple miscarriages, exploring treatment options to help with the process, and how to respond emotionally when things don’t go as planned. Plus, she tells us what her options are going forward and what she plans to do next. Thanks again to our presenting sponsor, BetterHelp!
