Test Tube Baby

Tristan Hall and Miranda Burns

Welcome to our podcast family! We are Tristan and Miranda, and this is our BRAND NEW podcast - Test Tube Baby. Join us on our "IVF Journey" as we chat through the highs and lows of trying to get pregnant. 1 in 7 couples struggle with infertility and we are that one. In true Tristan and Miranda style there’ll be a whole lot of tangents, more than one euphemism and inevitably we will expose and embarrass ourselves.NEW EPISODES EVERY MONDAY Hosted on Acast.
