Jessica Jordan always knew she wanted to become a Mum, “I just had this huge maternal drive to nurture”.

She encountered a series of obstacles; a diagnosis of endometriosis, low ovarian reserve, a previous surgical injury to one of her Fallopian tubes, unsuccessful transfers, a miscarriage, and an additional surgery, on her path to becoming a mother, finally conceiving her daughter Hazel.

Like many women, Emma Saunders is often asked if she has kids. She’s thought carefully about her answer: "I think it would be very disrespectful to Ella and Alfie to pretend that they didn’t exist so it’s important for me to say 'yes', but I follow that up really quickly with 'but they died young'." Emma shared her decade-long and incredibly difficult fertility story with The Human Race podcast. We've decided to split her story in to two parts. Both are available now. You can listen to part two when you're ready. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
