Dr. Aimee Baron is a pediatrician and the founder of I Was Supposed to Have a Baby, a nonprofit supporting people through infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, and related struggles in the Jewish community. After walking through secondary infertility, miscarriage, multiple unexplained losses, and eventually a surprise twin pregnancy, Dr. Baron turned her personal pain into a mission to help others feel less alone. Through shared stories, support groups, education, and her podcast, she works to reduce isolation and create more sensitive communal spaces.

• Holiday survival strategies for people facing infertility or loss, including setting boundaries, opting out when needed, and creating private space
