Looking back, Herron says she wished she’d allowed herself more time to grieve.

Herron, 36, whomarried her partnerand Oliver’s dad Dylan Brown in September, also talked about her journey with in vitro fertilization (IVF), and how devastated she was to learn she likely wouldn’t conceive naturally.

“The term IVF feels so heavy, and like you’re all of a sudden this decrepit, dried up old lady,” she tells Prato, who started the podcast after her own experience with secondary infertility. (Prato alsorecently released a children’s bookabout kids born via IVF.)

She was, naturally, elated when one of her embryos took. She says she had a relatively smooth pregnancy until just before the 25-week mark.

“I think that was just kind of like, how did this happen? You put so much money and time and resources creating this pregnancy…and in the blink of an eye, it’s gone.”
