A Leeds-based Sky executive has spoken publicly about her struggles with baby loss - and her decision to embrace a child-free life
"On our second date we had to have a really awkward conversation where I said ‘I know we have just met but I want babies quite soon’ because I was 35 at the time and the clock was ticking. I said, ‘If that’s not something you want, let’s call it a day because I need to move on’.”With the pair both wanting children, when they started trying for a baby she soon became an expert in ovulation cycles.
“For any woman that has tried to have a baby and it has taken more than a few months you start to get to know this stuff really well. I certainly knew way more about my body when I was trying to have a baby than I ever knew before. "It is month after month of you ovulate and then have what they call ‘the two week wait’. It is quite an emotional upheaval every single month you repeat of the hope then loss of hope.”
