Lady, when did you decide whether or not you wanted children? Were you socialized to tie your womanhood to being a mother? Have you thought about what you really want? Do you know what influenced that decision? In today’s episode, Terri and Dom discuss their decision on having children and what factors led to their choices. More importantly, the ladies dive into a conversation that many women experience but until recently have not openly shared. Infertility. Miscarriage. Let’s not be silent on these issues.

Quote of the Day: "I just think, as women, we have to give ourselves room to be individuals. So when a woman makes a decision for herself, we as women shouldn’t set those hardcore boundaries for another woman. Just like we don’t want men setting hardcore boundaries for us.” -Jada Pinkett-Smith Takeaways: Below are links to information on all the major terms mentioned in today’s episode HSG Unexplained infertility PCOS IUI IVF DNC Egg freezing Resources: Ovia https://www.oviahealth.com/ What to Expect https://www.whattoexpect.com/mobile-app/ Bare with my doula http://www.barewithmeduo.com/ The sacred doula https://www.instagram.com/sacredbirthdoula/?hl=en Melanin and Mental Health Therapy for Black Girls Psychology Today Where to find us: Twitter: @HERspacepodcast Instagram: @herspacepodcast Facebook: @herspacepodcast Website: herspacepodcast.com Email: [email protected] H.E.R Space Sanctuary: https://www.facebook.com/groups/herspacesanctuary/
