Charlotte Ann Snyder
Mallory Weggemann and her husband, Jay Snyder, beat several odds and became parents on March 16, when their daughter Charlotte Ann came into the world. While she enjoyed her “sweet little miracle,” the paralympic gold medalist told PEOPLE about the long and trying journey she endured to deliver her baby.
The odds of becoming pregnant weren’t in the couple’s favor: Snyder was diagnosed with male factor infertility that resulted from a childhood medical condition, and their best option was in vitro fertilization.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Weggemann recalled her husband’s reasons for opening up about his infertility. “Jay was adamant that we have the conversation around male infertility,” Weggemann said. “Society needed to see a couple who said, ‘Actually, it’s the non-disabled spouse that has the fertility struggles.’ ”
After several surgical procedures, hundreds of injections and one unsuccessful transfer, they announced that their second egg transfer had worked, and they were going to be parents.
However, Weggemann faced another major hurdle when it came time to welcome their little bundle of joy. Because of her injury, the mom-to-be had to undergo an epidural, which is the same procedure that originally caused her spinal damage and paralysis 15 years earlier.
“The idea of facing that has triggered emotions and flashbacks I haven’t had in years,” she told PEOPLE a few weeks ahead of the delivery.
Though the epidural didn’t actually work (likely due to scarring from her paralysis) and she delivered the baby via cesarean section, Weggemann succeeded in overcoming her fear. “I took some of my power back by not letting that day in 2008 define everything, and by being able to face it again so I could bring a baby into this world,” she told PEOPLE.
