Show Notes
Jamie Machacek, wife of Spencer Machacek, who plays for Wolfsburg in the DEL, joins me over a virtual glass of wine on the podcast today. Jamie + I have been chatting for so long after we discover the same love for the show Nashville. (Naming her son and my dog after it!) We’ve talked about all the mom things over the past year and I was so excited to finally meet her virtually IRL on the podcast.
Jamie and her husband knew they wanted children from the beginning. After trying for quite awhile and going through a few health issues, they realized they needed to look into their options.
In this episode we talk about:
The transition from babyhood to toddlerhood and how being a mom is always evolving and changing
Jamie opens up about her health struggles and what she went through before her first round of IVF
Male Factor Infertility and Endometriosis
Navigating IVF in a foreign country and how hockey played a factor into their journey
When you’re struggling with fertility and family and friends are getting pregnant around you
Keeping this private and not sharing with anyone around them
After undergoing IVF, they found out they were pregnant with twins and lost one of the twins. She talks about what this experience was like for her and her husband
Never Giving up on your Motherhood Journey
