Solo motherhood by choice with Hayley Williamson

<p><b>Today’s episode is something different to what we’ve had before. Our guest is a past client of mine whose story I am really excited to share with you. <br/><br/>Hayley Williamson is a photographer, and a single mother by choice to her beautiful daughter Neve who was born in august this year. Back in 2018 Hayley was diagnosed with estrogen dominance which led her down a path of balancing hormones and lifestyle. During those 12 months she had also spoken with a GP and gynecologist regarding her AMH levels and had started exploring the process of freezing her eggs. <br/><br/>Hayley hadn’t been in a serious relationship for 10 years and after mourning the realisation that she didn&apos;t have a partner or that ideal family that we’re ‘meant to have’ she made the decision to do it alone. She didn&apos;t want to wait any longer for the possibility of meeting the right person with the added pressure that she knew she wanted to have kids. So she made a plan, and when covid hit she had to re-evaluate what it is she wanted from her life and then made an appointment quite quickly to speak with her fatality specialist. After a lot of consideration and honoring what felt like the best situation for her body, Hayley chose to do an unmedicated IUI cycle with an anonymous sperm donor from the US. <br/></b><br/></p><p><b>In this episode we talk about...</b></p><ul><li><b>Hayleys experience of deciding to go down this path and what it looked like for her </b></li><li><b>What Hayley&apos;s conception experience was like</b></li><li><b>Hayley’s desire for motherhood and how that progressed over her adult years</b></li><li><b>Hayley’s journey into motherhood and the choice to use a donor</b></li><li><b>How Hayley supported herself after losses</b></li><li><b>Navigating postpartum as a solo mother</b></li></ul><p><b>I loved this conversation, and the opportunity to share this beautiful story with you.
