Fertility specialist Dr. Sonya Jessup holds the hands of Rachel Corbett and Zoe Marshall as they navigate everything from doing things the old fashioned way to egg and sperm donation, surrogacy and everything in between.
If you're thinking about having kids or you've been trying for years and you're wondering what other options are out there, this is the podcast for you.

Before The Bump

Introducing... The Kick: What To Do After A Positive Pee On A Stick

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/cca39de7-71d5-474b-8640-b4810017a5f9/transcript

That’s right! Your eyes haven’t deceived you. We’re back with a special bonus episode of Before The Bump! 

But this one's a little bit different. We aren’t talking about vaginas and wombs... more penis and sperm. 

Dr. Sonja Jessup joins us to answer those awkward ejaculation questions; what your other half may be feeling when they find out THEY’RE the infertile ones, and of course everything in between. 

Plus, we ask a bunch of men what they know about their own fertility… the answer may UN-surprise you.

It’s Time To Talk About Men

In the final episode of our four-part series, Rachel Corbett and Zoe Marshall are going deep on egg freezing and surrogacy.

So what's the process of freezing your eggs?  How much does it cost?  And does it hurt?  Rachel has been through it all before so she walks you through the experience step-by-step.

And if you're starting to realise parenthood might need a little help from someone else we chat to Sean Szeps who had twins with his husband Josh via surrogate.  So, what are the ground rules when someone else is carrying your baby?  How much does it cost?  Does your surrogate become part of the family?  And is it difficult when the woman growing your child is a million miles away?

This and so much more on the final episode of Before The Bump.

When Natural Isn't An Option

Welcome back for the third installment of our fertility podcast and this week Rachel Corbett and Zoe Marshall talk about what you can do when you’re trying but things are getting difficult. So, if you’ve been trying and are feeling frustrated, this is the episode for you.

From learning about dealing with the very real emotions you might be going through to understanding the more scientific reasons behind why you might not be pregnant yet, Rachel and Zoe welcome back fertility expert Dr Sonya Jessup to give her advice.

We also hear from our listeners and find out what they wish they knew when they were pregnant and realise that the process of struggling to fall pregnant is far more common than you might think!

Plus, Rachel and Zoe sit down with a mother who proves that no pregnancy journey is the same. We hear the incredible journey of how a single mother successfully gave birth to twins using both donor sperm and donor eggs and how she travelled to the other side of the world to do it.
