The journey of using a donor egg, with neonatal paediatrician Katharine

Baby Baking & Kid Raising

In this episode, we are sitting down with Katharine. Katharine is a paediatrician working in private practice specialising in neonatal peads, meaning she cares for babies from 0-2 years old. Katharine is also a mum to two children, and sadly experienced secondary fertility with her second child. After three and a half years of trying and several rounds of IVF, Katharine made the choice to use a donor egg, and go through the IVF process in the USA.
Some questions we chatted through:

• What was the experience like of becoming a mother, whilst being a paediatrician?
• What was it like working in her field, whilst struggling to fall pregnant herself?
• What was the process of using a donor egg?
