26 | Emma's Birth Story - Solo Mum by Choice, ICSI, Private Care, a Positive Induction
In today’s episode of the show I speak to Emma who shares her preconception, pregnancy and birth story. Emma decided to become a solo Mum by choice, and chose to use ICSI to conceive her son Charlie. The journey was long, and as Emma openly shares - expensive, but was of course well worth it in the end!
There were a few twists and turns (as there almost always are) during the birth of her son, but overall Emma describes her birth as a positive experience. This story is inspiring and insightful, especially for those who may be considering becoming a solo parent by choice.
