I’m going to be speaking at the Barbican Fertility Fest on 4 May, sharing an extract from my book Going Solo and chatting about solo motherhood.
Check out the events looking at modern families during the entire festival, which runs from 24 April to 12 May 2019. Medical experts and artists are joining together to put fertility and infertility centre stage.
For me, the remaining taboos surrounding fertility treatment and miscarriage only serve to make people feel isolated and lonely. But things are changing by opening up these subjects, and celebrating families that don’t fit the 2.4 convention. In the future I hope that people will feel more supported as some discover that making babies isn’t always easy.
