‘So do you have kids’ will discuss why asking this seemingly innocent question, that makes up part of everyday discourse, may be struggling for the 1 in 6 people dealing with infertility. Hosted by Natalie Silverman, founder of The Fertility Podcast, you will hear lived experiences from a panel whose reproductive stories weren’t what they thought they would be, and the impact this has had on their lives.
We need to be more mindful of the different routes to parenthood that people try and understand that IVF is no guarantee. Did you also know that fertility issues impact both men and women and that people can spend thousands of pounds on treatment that has less than a 25% success rate? Hopefully this session will offer a few lightbulb moments and add an alternative question to your general line of enquiry when meeting someone new, maybe ask if they have any hobbies, rather than any kids.
