Forget the calendar—love and readiness make the perfect playbook!
If you think you need to time your pregnancy like a World Cup final, think again. Jasmine Joyce-Butchers, the rugby star who’s been dreaming of motherhood with her wife Alisha, reminds us all that sometimes, the heart’s timing is the only timing that matters. As featured in a touching BBC article, Jasmine shares, “We’ve wanted a baby for so long,” and the fact that her pregnancy coincides with a World Cup year? Irrelevant.
But here’s the kicker—this story isn’t just about timing. It’s about breaking molds, rewriting narratives, and embracing new paths to parenthood, especially for LGBTQ+ couples. Traditional routes to conception don’t always fit every family’s story, which is where innovative options like at-home insemination kits come into play.
