In the very first episode of Mummafication, Nicolette Minster mentions that a woman approached her in the line for IVF drugs... that woman is Samantha Allemann, and in today's episode, Sam generously shares her incredible story.

Sam has made a point of being honest and open, in the spirit of making other women feel less alone. She talks about her experience in ways we don't often hear people talk. Her story of long term IVF, and the subsequent postnatal depression and anxiety she experienced, is one of strength.
