Galit Friedman Overcomes Fertility Struggles to Raise Seven Children in Hod Hasharon

Galit Friedman, a 39-year-old fertility coach from Hod Hasharon, shares her challenging journey from struggling with infertility to becoming a mother of seven. Married to software engineer Naftali, the couple has children aged 15, 10, 8, 6, 4, and 1.5 years. After three years of marriage and unsuccessful fertility treatments, Friedman felt isolated and ashamed, believing something was wrong with her. She underwent various treatments, including conventional fertility therapies and complementary methods, but initially without success.

Her first pregnancy came after years of struggle, resulting in twins delivered by cesarean section due to complications. This experience led her to reevaluate her approach, focusing on emotional healing and self-care. Friedman created a support group for women facing fertility challenges, emphasizing open conversations about shame, fear, and emotional blocks. She developed a method connecting emotions, relationships, femininity, and consciousness, which she detailed in her book "The Life Within You."

Subsequent pregnancies occurred more rapidly as Friedman embraced emotional well-being alongside medical treatment. She highlights the importance of partner support and honest communication in overcoming fertility difficulties. Balancing a demanding career and raising seven children, Friedman prioritizes full presence with her children during their waking hours and works during their rest times. She advocates for breaking the silence around fertility struggles to empower women and improve their chances of conception through emotional and physical alignment.
