CASSANDRA - EGG DONOR DOULA
In this episode, I have an amazing conversation with Cassandra, a bereavement doula who shares my passion for helping others. Cassandra has supported women who have reached out to her, providing them with companionship and helping them navigate their own unique paths.
Cassandra's own journey towards parenthood was filled with challenges. She experienced multiple pregnancy losses and, at the age of 36, was introduced to the idea of using an egg donor by her OB. Despite trying various methods to improve her fertility, including adjusting their exercise routine and following a specific plan, they didn't achieve the desired results. This led Cassandra and her family to consider using donor eggs.
They had a consultation with a donor coordinator and eventually found a suitable donor who had children of her own and a genuine desire to help others. Cassandra connected with her donor through a match page and sent her a heartfelt letter expressing gratitude. Their relationship blossomed, and they stayed in touch throughout Cassandra's pregnancy.
Cassandra recalls the support she received from her donor:
“The day that I went for my transfer, she was texting me like, I really hope this goes well. And I've been praying for you. It was really nice. And all my OB appointments, she would ask me how it went and like that she was so happy.”
