On this week’s episode, we get to hear about Carlie Tasker’s journey to motherhood. Carlie is a digital creative and new mom to Grace. She shares her experience with endometriosis and her first pregnancy which ended with a missed miscarriage. She fell pregnant not long after her D&C and had to navigate maternity care via the NHS in a COVID-19 regulated world. She gave birth this summer following a polyhydramnios diagnosis and induction. Her daughter Grace spent a week in the NICU with jaundice and she shares her feeding journey as well.
