This week we chat to another downright phenomenal guest, Rachel, from @our_rough_journey on Instagram. Rachel is a mama to three beautiful children, one who is earthside and the other two who are sparkling bright in the sky. Rachel shares her story of a full-term stress-free pregnancy with her first child Kai, followed by two complicated pregnancies involving intra-uterine growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, abruption and premature birth which both devastatingly ended in neonatal death. Rachel and her partner found out they are carriers of the LARS1 gene, that has only 25 recorded cases worldwide. There is a 1 in a million chance to have a baby affected with this disorder and it happened to them twice. Now, they are starting IVF with embryo genetic testing to fulfil their dream of bringing their fourth child into the world.
