Today I am with Dr. Grace Lee Brindle from Hope In Mind Psychology to discuss the often overlooked topic of secondary infertility.
We explore the emotional complexities, including feelings of guilt and shame, that accompany the desire for another child when one already has a child.
For more information on Fertility Action and the support group that we discuss see their website.
We discuss
- Why secondary infertility is often accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame.
- How the isolation felt by those with secondary infertility can be profound.
- Why it’s important to validate feelings of sadness and grief in the context of secondary infertility.
- How parents often struggle to balance their desire for another child with their responsibilities to their existing child.
- Why seeking help and support is crucial for those navigating secondary infertility.
- How support groups specifically for secondary infertility can provide a sense of community.
