Welcome to the Pregnancy Success Podcast! My Story...

Let me introduce myself…

I was like YOU!  I lived with the emotional rollercoaster and anguish of monthly failures.  It was like being a pincushion with all the blood tests.  At one point, it felt like I was having more intimate time with the ultrasound probe than my husband!  I was getting depressed, it was affecting my marriage, and I feeling like a failure as a woman. 

It started with the voice of the doctor telling my Mum that I would “struggle to get pregnant” after I had a normal appendix removed. The true reason for my ‘acute appendicitis’ was a knotted and necrotic (dead) fallopian tube which was completely removed.

It turned around when my Mum reminded me of the fact that I was carrying around for over 15 years the false belief that I would “struggle to get pregnant”, as the doctor once said.

The truth is I have the power to choose – to co-create the life I want.  Knowing WHAT I want is more than 90% (maybe even 99%) of the work.  The HOW, including any assisted reproductive technology, is less than 10% of the success process. This includes your history. Your medical history is NOT your destiny.  You can change it!

When I changed my thinking with a couple of lifestyle changes, I got pregnant in 3 months!  I delivered my beautiful baby boy, Jacob, via C-Section at term (he was breech).  When he was 2, we decided to start trying for number 2.  Nine months later, Sarah was delivered by the easiest of VBACs!

Changing my thinking changed my life!

I employed the same principles with my patients, while practicing as an Obstetrician & Gynecologist.  Thinking outside of the box helped them have success, TO HAVE THEIR BABIES.  It all happened while working on their thinking – that there is more to having babies than the medical tests, investigations, prescriptions, and procedures. 

It all starts with asking yourself this Power Question: What would I love?

The next question is WHY? Because when I figured out why I wanted to have my 2 babies, it was the piece that made it all click into place. Because there are Laws in the Universe that govern success.  It’s like the Laws of Gravity or Electricity – which I cannot explain in great detail – but I know the lights come on when I flip the switch.
