Conceiving Naturally at 41: Overcoming Recurrent Loss for a Rainbow Baby

087. Kristen shares her inspiring and deeply relatable journey of conceiving naturally at 41 after experiencing the heartbreak of recurrent loss. After a seamless first pregnancy in her 20s, Kristen faced unexpected challenges when expanding her family later in life, navigating the emotional complexities of "rainbow babies" and the fear that often accompanies pregnancy after loss. She shares how she stayed the course through the uncertainty, eventually welcoming her second rainbow baby and proving that natural conception in your 40s is not just possible, but a path filled with resilience and hope.

Beyond the medical side of her journey, Kristen opens up about the lifestyle and mindset shifts she embraced while living abroad in Barcelona and raising her growing family.
