Navigating the Emotional Journey of Fertility Trauma: Filipa Jackson's Story

This week Fertility in Focus invites you on an emotional journey through the complexities of fertility-related PTSD and trauma with a poignant personal story from our guest, Filipa Jackson. Filipa shares her candid and heartfelt account of the emotional and physical struggles she and her husband faced during their path to parenthood, shedding light on the persistent challenges of infertility, even after becoming a mother. Her story offers empathy and understanding for anyone navigating similar turbulence in their fertility journey.

We also explore the often-neglected impact of infertility on relationships and mental health, discussing the potential strain it brings for many couples. Even after the joy of pregnancy and parenthood, the shadows of trauma can linger, challenging the societal expectation that a baby solves everything. By acknowledging these ongoing emotional battles, we hope to provide solace and support, highlighting the silent struggles faced by many and the importance of giving voice to these experiences.
