Day Fifteen: Baby Steps

BBC Radio 4 - 28ish Days Later, Day Fifteen: Baby Steps

It's day 15 and for some it's the start of the two week wait.

In this episode we hear first hand what it's like when trying for a baby takes longer than expected.

On day 15 of the cycle, India looks at fertility and the process of trying to conceive - and explores the tragic reality that not all pregnancies are successful. Dr Dornu Lebari takes us through a fertility consultation, and discusses the stigma that surrounds reproductive health. Dame Lesley Regan speaks with India about early miscarriage.
