We talk fertility with Zita West

Rising Giants Network
About this episode

Fertility, we may be lead to believe at a young age that if we do so much as touch a male, we’ll be pregnant!

Yeh right!

Conceiving is not an easy ‘task’ for many, and there’s variables we may not have considered that contribute to our chances of success.

During this episode we speak to Zita West, midwife for over 40 years and fertility specialist to shed light on some of the pivotal things that could impact us getting pregnant, but that we may not be aware of.

 

In addition, we also touch upon pregnancy, nutrition and last but not least, the little ones themselves.
