Lara’s Story: Pregnancy, Loss, and Finding Light in Lockdown - Part 1

Send us a text

In Part One of this two-part series, we follow Lara through her deeply personal journey to motherhood—a path shaped by the challenges of PCOS, multiple fertility treatments, and the emotional toll of failed IUIs and back-to-back IVF rounds. As she navigates her own uncertainty, the world around her begins to shift. COVID-19 shuts everything down just as she learns she’s pregnant, layering isolation and fear onto an already fragile time.

Meanwhile, Lara faces another heartbreak—the declining health of her mother—forcing her to hold joy and grief in the same breath. Part One takes us through the weight of those months, the resilience she discovered, and the profound moment she finally welcomed her son, Max, into the world.

This is a story about persistence, timing, and what it means to keep moving forward when everything around you feels like it’s falling apart.
