My Infertility Journey with Kristin Dillensnyder

According to a past National Survey by the CDC, 1 in 8 couples (or 12% of married women) have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy. That statistic proves just how common an issue that infertility is.

But infertility has a strange way of making a woman feel isolated and alone in her situation. Creating shame, fear, and anxiety around her own body.

If that is you or has been you, I want to acknowledge your journey. You need to know that you are absolutely not alone. Your journey is no less worthy of support than a mom who has become a mother through any other path.

So on this episode of the Gotcha Mama podcast, I talk with Kristin Dillensnyder, also known as Kiki. She is a big sister, a wife, a mom, a bonus mom, and an infertility coach.

As an infertility coach, she helps women take back control, prepare for the bumps ahead and get emotionally supported by someone who gets it. Her goal is for women to feel like their big sister is there holding their hand, no matter what the outcome is during their fertility journey.

We talk about:

Her journey with infertility and all the physical and emotional processes that she and her husband went through to get her daughter All the insight into technical infertility terms and the procedures How she knew it was time to stop treatments How best to approach baby showers and pregnancy announcements to friends who are going through infertility Her super valuable advice for someone going through infertility right now And if you're not going through infertility, how you can be the best friend to someone going through it
