It kills me, these conversations I have with women every day where they're like, but I didn't do this, but I didn't do that.

I wasn't the healthiest version of myself.

And I'm like...

We have objective information.

Sometimes we do procedures to help move things along.

And we can send the pregnancy tissue off for genetic testing.

And I'll have confirmation.

This had an extra chromosome 16.

There was no chance this was ever going to become

A healthy live birth.

Ever.

Exactly.

But I think we're wired, women specifically, are very much wired to blame themselves and take responsibility for things that they don't need to and shouldn't.

But going back to what I was saying to you, just running through that sequence of steps is so important to understand

It is normal if you're coming to me or if you're even just listening to this and you're like, I've been trying for five months and it hasn't happened.

It doesn't mean something is necessarily wrong.

Human reproduction is really inefficient.

And we have to normalize that idea because while it can happen that it feels like a lottery, right?

Like the first time you try, it works out.

Hey, that happened to me actually for baby number one.
