The stress of trying to conceive is incredibly heavy, and one thing that often makes it harder is not knowing how or what to share with your friends.
We often experience a stigma around struggling to get pregnant which makes it nearly impossible to share about it without feeling self-conscious or afraid of being judged.
Even though women who are diagnosed with infertility experience stress levels comparable to that of people diagnosed with life threatening disease like cancer, heart disease and HIV, our loved ones don’t always treat us the same. We fear being told to "just relax" or "stop trying so hard", or we're casually advised to try whatever our sister’s friend’s, cousin did to get pregnant.
Over and over again, our very valid fears are brushed off with, “it’ll be okay” leaving us wishing we never shared in the first place.
That’s one of the reasons why support groups are so helpful for women on the TTC journey (In fact, they’ve been shown to increase conception rates by up to 50%). And, if you’re looking for one, click HERE to get on the waitlist for mine (with a 60% pregnancy rate from our most recent cohort).
But, even if you join an amazing support group, you still have relationships that you need to navigate and want to feel good about.
Today’s episode will tell you the REAL reason it’s so hard to share and then walk you through 5 steps to take to improve how you communicate with loved ones so you can feel better and live better while you’re working to bring home your baby.
