About this listen
'It turns out there are plenty of us: the unlucky ones. The women whose journey into motherhood, or whose yearning for more children, has yet to be fulfilled by the universe. I am certain that in so many parts of my story I really am not the only one to have gone through it, so it makes sense to write it all down. For all of us - and for any parents who might go through some of what we did in the future, too. So here it is, our journey to a rainbow. A story of fertility, trying again and, above all, hope.'
After the death of her three-day-old son, Teddy, in 2016, Elle Wright never expected what came next - that the path to bringing home a living child could be so winding. Elle's loss was followed by three and a half years of endless waiting.
She and her husband waited for test results, hospital appointments and so many new procedures to help with their experience of secondary infertility. This wait included friends announcing their happy news whilst Elle was experiencing three rounds of IVF and the loss of three more babies.
Months and years slipped by, of immense physical and emotional toll, and still those two lines were just out of reach. Faced with constant questions, drugs, negative tests, tears, loss, frustration and so many more tears, throughout it all Elle managed to still believe that one day it would happen for her, somehow....
A Bump in the Road reflects the reality of becoming a parent for thousands of people like Elle who have difficulty conceiving in the UK today. It captures Elle's journey to a rainbow, comforting through her beautifully written words with a story of fertility that might just reflect yours, too.

I also hope I’ve learnt, to be a better friend, sister, cousin or even complete stranger to those going through their own fertility journey.

I cried so many tears during this book on behalf of El and myself. The book truly touched me deeply and I'm grateful for the support it has given me.

I felt like I lived every moment with El

It touched my heart throughout, so much resonated with me. Elle’s words explain the path of infertility more than I could ever explain and I urge anyone who has a friend or relative experiencing infertility to listen or read.
She made me feel not alone in the same thoughts and feelings all those years ago.
Thank you Elle
