About Mothers in Arms

This is my experience as an Independent Parent who went through a surrogacy journey in pandemic. With the help of an incredible medical team, an angel surrogate mother and her family helped bring my daughter to life. It was years of holding back on the idea of it, but it took leaving all I knew & loved in order to push through to becoming a mom. As I try to grow my family and the platform of assisted reproductive technology evolves, there’s a lot to navigate. I wanted to provide a resource for anyone dealing with infertility.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
