***TRIGGER WARNING*** This episode talks about baby loss and infertility. If this is a trigger for you, it may be best to skip this one.  Welcome to this episode of Motherkind, the show that gives you all the tools, ideas and validation you need as you navigate your life as a mother.  Sometimes the hardest things that we face, are also the things that we most need to talk about because it's often those things that we don't have the words for. Sophie Martin, in her job as a midwife, helps women every day achieve their dream of motherhood - all while having faced unbelievable challenges on her own journey to motherhood.  11 rounds of IVF and the tragic loss of two babies. Sophie shares with us what we all NEED to know, because even if we haven't experienced loss or IVF or miscarriage ourselves then we know someone who has. It is so easy to say completely the wrong thing, so please share this episode. This education just isn't out there, but we can get it out there so please share this episode with at least three people in your life if you think they need to know what Sophie shares with us here.
