Send us Fan MailWhat an episode. When Lisa is told again and again that her recurring miscarriages are “just bad luck,” she knows that's not it. She follows her intuition, pushes for deeper testing, and finally gets an answer. Lisa has a balanced chromosomal translocation, a rare genetic rearrangement that makes naturally conceived pregnancies far more likely to end.That diagnosis forces impossible choices. Lisa and her Swiss husband look at IVF realities, adoption barriers, and the heartbreak of more loss, then choose donor egg IVF. But because egg donation is illegal in Switzerland (a topic discussed in the episodes), they travel to a Greek fertility clinic and learn the logistics and emotions of cross-border care, donor screening, anonymity, and what it means to build a family this way.The first transfer works, but pregnancy still brings health anxiety, intense symptoms, and the lingering fear that good news can disappear.Then comes birth. Lisa shares her fears of childbirth, why she planned a hospital birth in Kantonspital Winterthur with doula support, how an induction is recommended after late-pregnancy measurements, and what it’s like to move through a long, brutal labour when pain relief doesn’t fully touch the intensity.We also unpack the cascade of interventions, vacuum-assisted delivery, brief newborn oxygen support, retained placenta surgery, a severe postpartum haemorrhage, and the months of triple feeding and guilt that follow. It’s a raw, honest story about resilience, anger, tenderness, all so generously shared by the honest and candid conversation with Lisa.Subscribe for more Swiss Birth Stories, Write a review, and share this podcast to help more parents in Switzerland and beyond find the show.Lisa's ResourcesFertility specialist in Zurich: https://www.kinderwunsch-zuerich.ch/Lisa's clinic in Greece where was matched with her egg donor: https://www.newlife-ivf.co.uk/Christine was Lisa's doula: www.lilybee.chLisa can be contacted here for connecting about issues like balanced translocation, fertility assistance, donor eggs: lisa.schwander712@gmail.comSupport the podcast with a small donation or tip Please connect with us!Archived-Click here to share your story and be our next guest!All Swiss Birth Stories EpisodesOur Websites:www.swissbirthstories.comwww.juliathedoula.chwww.lilybee.chInstagram:@swissbirthstories@juliathedoula.ch@lilybeezurichMentioned in this episode:Discover more great podcasts at SwissCast.NetworkThe SwissCast Podcast Network is here to amplify the diverse voices and unique stories of Switzerland—all in English.
