Secondary infertility often lacks the validation that society offers those facing primary infertility, leaving parents feeling isolated and misunderstood as they navigate their struggles.
The desire for a larger family can reflect deeply personal visions, yet societal norms create emotional struggles for parents wanting another child, leading to self-doubt.
Guilt arises when parents feel that longing for more children betrays their first child, while shame causes feelings of inadequacy for wanting to expand their family.
Family and friends can play a supportive role by understanding that parents can simultaneously feel both gratitude for their current child and a longing for more.
