They say it takes a village to raise a child, but what about before the child exists? When a baby is so deeply longed for but things aren’t turning out as you planned, who can you turn to for support?This episode is all about sharing the mental load, how to find support, and how to build your village. We hear from IVF expert Dr Manuela Toledo, and from trans/cis couple Max and Paris who had to cross state lines to get the fertility treatment that was right for them.  SPECIAL THANKS  To Paris and Max for sharing their story.  CREDITS Host: Leigh Campbell Guest: IVF Expert Dr Manuela Toledo Executive Producer: Talissa Bazaz CONTACT US Call the pod phone on 02 8999 9386.
