Q: Can you share your experience with at-home insemination?
Emily: Absolutely! I was a bit nervous at first, but once I learned about the process through how it works, I felt much more confident. The simplicity and the reusable options offered by Make a Mom made it a no-brainer for me. Plus, I discovered a supportive community in the Make a Mom Facebook group, which was a lifesaver!
Q: Did you face any challenges along the way?
Emily: For sure! Balancing work and my desire to breastfeed was tough. I came across a helpful article on balancing breastfeeding and work that provided great tips. It helped me create a schedule that worked for me and my baby.
