And he said it TWICE in our first few months together.Suddenly, I had to make a decision that would change everything - not just whether I wanted children, but whether I was even capable of having them.In this episode: 💣 The moment Marco dropped the baby bombshell 🤔 Confronting the fact that my biological clock had been silent for 38 years 😰 Discovering terms like "geriatric pregnancy" and "advanced maternal age" 🌿 How acupuncture transformed my anxiety (and my shaky hands) 🇮🇹 Meeting Marco's family in Sicily and THE grandchildren question 🎉 Celebrating my 40th at a drum and bass festival in a Roman fort 🧘‍♀️ Getting my body baby-ready with clean living... right before everything went wrongThe twist?
