S5, E4 - IVF Journey, Postnatal Depression & Loss of Twins

Kelly Wells Season 5 Episode 4

On this weeks episode Kelly welcomes, service user, Chantelle to the podcast.

Chantelle shares her 5 year IVF journey, experience of postnatal depression and the loss of her twins. Chantelle explains she felt very isolated and alone through her journey especially when her and her partner dealt with their situation so differently.

Chantelle speaks about the pressures and strains IVF caused on their daily lives, work and relationships. After the loss of her twins Chantelle decided she wasn't mentally or physically ready to continue with IVF. After some counselling with Making Miracles and a year on, Chantelle felt ready to start again.

After a long wait Chantelle was delighted of the birth of her daughter Hope. However, her dream turned into battle as she was then faced with postnatal depression. 

Chantelle is extremely thankful for the support she received and urges people to seek help if they are struggling.
