The RMA Podcast. Episode 34. Running & Fertility. A journey through IVF to motherhood and beyond. With Kelly McManus

On episode 34 we discuss issues around infertility, a condition which affects so many Australian women. We chat with Kelly McManus, from Sydney about her long journey to becoming a mother. 

We talk to Kelly about the struggles she and her partner went through to become parents. We discuss the financial, physical, emotional and spiritual burden of the rollercoaster highs and lows of fertility treatment, and the joy of finally becoming mum and dad 8 years later to their little girl Niamh. 

Kelly, an avid runner and triathlete, talks to us about her journey through IVF and the processes that involved, whilst maintaining an active healthy lifestyle. We chat about the modifications that she made, and her thoughts on remaining active through pregnancy, and of course it's benefits, where Kelly continued to run right through her pregnancy up until when Niamh was born. 

Kelly shares with us about what becoming a mother has meant to her, and how she loves to spend time being active outdoors with her little babe. 

To follow more of Kelly's journey, and her musings and insights you can find her on instagram at @kelly_runs_and_eats or on her blog https://kellyrunsandeats.wordpress.com where she has also shared much of her story.
