598 | Estelle, unexplained infertility, two positive birth experiences, postpartum anxiety, feeding challenges

About this episode

Estelle shares her complete journey to motherhood - from unexplained infertility and IVF to an unexpected natural conception with her second child. Estelle opens up about the emotional challenges of fertility treatment, her positive experiences with induction and epidural, and her very different postpartum experiences with each baby. She discusses her struggles with breastfeeding anxiety, her decision to formula feed her second child, and how she's learning to trust her instincts as a mother. This episode beautifully illustrates how subsequent pregnancies and births can offer completely different experiences, and highlights the importance of making feeding choices that support maternal mental health.
