Why So Taboo?

The other day, while I was talking to my really good friend Hannah. I realized how taboo the topic of infertility really is. I am not going to speak for her but she has had her own struggles with infertility as well. As we were chatting about my new found love for this blogging thing. She brought up how much she really enjoyed reading my infertility post and how when she read it she felt like I was there just chatting away with her. Telling her a story more less. I am flattered seriously by the amount of support I have recieved after posting my first two posts. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! <3

While we started talking more, we were chatting about the topic of infertility with our fertile family or friends. We have ran into lots of people that are so careful about what they say around us. Or even if they are pregnant they shy away from us or don't even tell us at all. I really am thankful for them being sensitive to my situation. Don't get me wrong in saying that. But, I am also so excited for that person that the sadness that I may feel is overpowered by the happiness that I feel for that person.

If you're reading this and you find yourself in the situation of having a friend that is struggling with infertility while you aren't. Or if you had a baby easily the first time and are struggling with the second or third. Please know that the friend that has been in your shoes is the friend that you can count on the most. She's also the one that understands more than any person in the whole wide world. If you're pregnant and you are friends with somebody that you know is struggling. Please, please, please don't think you are going to hurt that friends feelings. Their feelings are going to be hurt even more if you don't tell them. Their feelings are going to be hurt if they hear it from somebody else and not from you. Let's break the stigma behind that. We all just want to be there for each other. Frankly, we all NEED to be there for each other!
