Unexpecting: A Chana Podcast
14 episodes - English - Latest episode: 5 months ago -Welcome to Unexpecting - a podcast brought to you by Chana, the leading fertility support organisation for the Jewish community in the UK. Over the course of this podcast we join Dr Romy Shulman, Shimon Schwab and Dr Veronique Berman as they speak to experts, couples, and religious leaders about the multi-layered challenges people face on their fertility journey.
1 in 6 couples experience infertility. Whether you are trying to conceive, wondering where to start, going through treatment, coming to terms with the loss of a pregnancy, or simply have a question to ask and need support. Chana is here for you. We know everybody's experience is different, so we provide a bespoke package of services tailored to your individual needs.
With Chana you are not alone.
We are also excited to be launching ‘Your Stories’ on our website, inspired after Dan Rickman approached Chana with the seedling of an idea based on his experience in 2020 when his wife suffered a miscarriage during the height of covid. We are proud to launch this valuable resource on the Chana website in the hope that Chana can also help to break down stigmas which still surround miscarriage, fertility issues and complex paths to parenthood.
