My Article for The Metro – ‘My Label and Me: Infertile’

Samantha Walsh Metro Cover Grant Melton Photography

I was recently approached by the Metro, a popular newspaper distributed across London and the home counties, to write an opinion piece on being labelled ‘infertile’ and how that label has affected me and my sense of self-worth. It is not easy to put yourself out there about such a personal topic, which has had a lifelong and profound effect on me, but I’m pleased and proud to have done so, as every time we speak out about such previously taboo subjects it helps to break down those barriers and support people experiencing such issues.

Fierce and feisty girl-about-town, with a straight-talking, no-messin' attitude. I tell it like it is, no holds barred, on my blogs, as a guest on various podcasts and over at Huffington Post UK where I'm a regular contributor. I'm passionate about raising awareness of gynae cancers and the importance of screening. Infertility and IVF are topics close to my heart and I run a support group called The Non-Mum Network on Facebook for childless women like myself.

    Yes, it is very hard to put oneself out there – I agree! Here’s to breaking down barriers, great piece Sam!
