200 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratings

Getting through the 9 months of pregnancy after infertility and loss can be tougher than you might think. Plus, the impact our experiences can have on our parenting is beginning to be recognised. Up until recently the support for those finally pregnant and parenting has been limited.

The Finally Pregnant Podcast, with host Cat Strawbridge, aka @tryingyears (https://www.instagram.com/tryingyears/) on socials, is here to change that. You can also find out more @finallypregnant (https://www.instagram.com/finallypregnant/) .

Including stories from others who have or are going through their own pregnancies and are willing to share their anxieties along with what they've learnt, there will also be a host of experts sharing 'normal' pregnancy advice, but in this safe space.

Have a listen and do get in touch with any ideas for future episodes.
