Explore every episode of the podcast Lez Have a Baby Podcast

Welcome back to Lez Have a Baby, a podcast about two moms, one turkey baster, and all the questions you thought were too rude to ask—answered right here. We’re spillin’ the ferili-tea ☕️ on our queer conception and pregnancy journey.

In episode 3, we dive into the real experience of the insemination process, which is equal parts clinical, emotional, and somewhat unpredictable.

We chat about:

• How this journey feels like a living science project

• Learning so much about the female body, despite being two women ourselves

• What the insemination process really entails

• The physical and mental toll of several insemination attempts

• Processing unsuccessful attempts

• The completely unexpected moment we found out Sam was pregnant

• Why it mattered to us to make a deeply clinical process feel more meaningful and turn it into a bit of a date
