Andrea was diagnosed with probable infertility as a teenager and assumed it would take her a little longer than expected to get pregnant. However, it was “a lot longer” instead, and after suffering a miscarriage, she learned that getting pregnant wasn’t the issue, her uterus was. This led her on a journey to sharing her story and creating an entire media platform called pregnantish, so that other women wouldn’t feel alone.
Andrea shares about her infertility journey, her meant-to-be surrogacy story, why she shares her story, and how she is bridging the much-needed gap between fertility doctors and patients.
