TRIGGER WARNING: This episode deals with discussions of in/fertility and/or baby loss.

--

In this episode, we are joined by ITV news anchor Andrea Byrne who shares her experience of being diagnosed with unexplained infertility and suffering multiple miscarriages. Her daughter was born naturally, defying the odds to some extent, but as with so many in/fertility stories, Andrea’s takes several twists and turns along the way.

Somaya, Natalie, and Emma discuss with Andrea about how she managed the demands of a high-profile, high-pressure job with her fertility challenges, and how the language people use while trying to be supportive can sometimes be the last thing you want to hear.

Guest Bio:

Andrea Byrne is one of the faces of ITV News. She anchors the BAFTA award-winning daily news programme Wales at Six, as well as ITV’s national bulletins. This has included ITV Weekend News, Lunchtime News, Evening News and News at Ten. Prince Harry is among the many high-profile names she has interviewed.

Andrea also presents the current affairs programme Wales This Week; presents her own fertility podcast ‘Making Babies’; and is a TEDx speaker. She is an ambassador for ‘The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme’ and a Non-Executive Director for Hockey Wales.

Andrea is married to Wales and Lions legend Lee Byrne. She is passionate about wellbeing and pioneered the introduction of Mental Health First Aiders in ITV’s newsrooms.

Away from the newsroom, she is a keen yogi, a novice stand-up paddle-boarder and a budding novelist!
