Have your journey to motherhood featured on the Geriatric Mamas podcast!
So many women have kept their fertility struggles a secret, and endured their pain alone. It doesn’t need to feel so isolating.
If you or someone you know is 35+ and struggled with fertility, experienced heartbreaking fostering or adoption challenges, endured a miscarriage, or were perhaps flat out told by a doctor that you will never conceive naturally, and eventually found your happy ending by becoming a mama, your story could be what keeps another woman going on her journey to her miracle baby!
Send us your story and it could be featured on the next HOPEisode!
