As exciting as pregnancy can be, we sometimes forget that there are many around us that are suffering through their own infertility... I know that I have had quite a few friends who have shared with me their own infertility stories and their hardships... so I'm certain almost all of us know of someone ourselves. I've also been guilty of not knowing the best way to say things while I have been around them, mostly because when they explain their feelings the only thing I knew to say was "I'm sorry... That must be hard." Over and over again...
I thought I would share this article that gives some great advice into how many of these wonderful women might be feeling and some suggestions of things you can do and say to show your support. Another great article can be found here that explains the need to be sensitive when it comes to couples who don't have children but are trying.

Those are great articles Michelle. Thanks! I have a friend in my life right now that has been trying for 15 months and I have had a hard time knowing what to say or do sometimes. So those articles helped!
Thank you SO much for posting those! As you may remember, it took us 3 years to have Rosalee and I agree 100% with the advice given. Now being on the pregnant side of life I am VERY careful about what I say and do around those people I know are struggling with infertility.
