I talk with Dr. Aimee Baron, a pediatrician and the founder of I Was Supposed To Have A Baby, about her infertility journey. She shares the work she did to accept the fact that her family wouldn't look the way she imagined after suffering multiple miscarriages and how we can better support those around us in the infertility community.
