Ep. 14: Carly Bailey on PCOS, infertility, IVF, miscarriage, and post-natal depression

In this episode of Bits of Me, I talk to Carly Bailey, a mother of two smallies and activist on social, economic and feminist issues including housing, education and repeal. She is now a Social Democrats councillor on the South Dublin County Council. Carly has PCOS and endometriosis and struggled to conceive. In this episode, she shares her experience of trying different medications, going through IVF, suffering miscarriages and eventually having her babies. She also talks about the birth injury she ended up with, the post-natal depression that followed, and the reasons why, despite everything she's been through, she can relate to the decision of having an abortion.  You can follow Carly on @CarlyEBailey_ on Twitter, on Instagram at @carly_bailey_ or on Facebook, where there's a page for Cllr Carly Bailey. Bits of Me is on Instagram as @bitsofme_podcast and on Twitter as @bitsofme_pod.
