Introducing Lullaby Wishes {Infertility Awareness}

0

In recognition of National Infertility Awareness Week, we are seeking to raise awareness about this struggle by sharing stories from local moms and a dad who have been in this difficult place, as well as additional local resources to help parents along this journey. Through this series, we hope to provide encouragement for women and men who are facing infertility and perspective for those supporting them in the battle. Thank you to our sponsors, UAB Women & Infants Services, and to each of the contributors to this series — especially the courageous parents who have shared a painful piece of your journeys.


Introducing Lullaby Wishes

According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), one in eight couples (or 12% of married women) has trouble getting pregnant or sustaining a pregnancy. While there are various causes of infertility, plenty of statistics, and all kinds of clinical data available, what we know, what we strive to show in this series, is that infertility is personal. It is real people. It is the friend from church, the cousin, the brother-in-law. Maybe it’s you. The goal of this series is to encourage and to come alongside those for whom the struggle is all too real. We see you.
