Meanwhile, her close friend Bernie, a mother of three, learns the devastating news that another pregnancy could prove fatal.
Dublin, 2023: A close call makes Saoirse realize that she may never want to be a mother. Little does she know that only a few decades ago, a group of women made this option possible for her.
