Moms in the Making – Online
In June 2013, the Lord put it on my heart to start an infertility support group, which thanks to a good friend’s idea is namedย Moms in the Making.ย For over two years now I have met with ladies weekly/bi-weekly in my home. I have been so thankful to walk this journey with so many amazing ladies, but it’s time to open up the group to those who don’t live here locally. I have wanted to do something online for about a year and a half now. While I hoped it wouldn’t be through facebook, for now, that will be the best way to facilitate the group.
If you would like to join the virtual group, please visit this link, leave a comment or e-mail me. I’m answering some questions below as to what you can expect. The purpose of this group is to offer hope and encouragement, connect with others, and focus on God’s word while waiting on Him.
Q&A
1.Who is this group for?
- Anyone going through infertility
2. What can I expect from the group?
- To meet and find support from others who are going through infertility, to be encouraged, to be fed God’s word, and to share prayer requests and praises.
2. Do you have to be a Christian to be in the group?
- No, but it is a Christ-centered group.
4. How do I join the group?
- Visit this link or leave a comment below
If you know of someone who is going through infertility and needs to be encouraged, please share this group with them.ย Also, if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Posted at 08:06h, 14 AugustSo many will be encouraged by this, Caroline! I will be praying for you as you lead this group.
Stephanie
Posted at 09:02h, 14 AugustI lOVE this idea. I struggled with infertility for years, and would’ve loved to have this sort of community. It’s hard, and having people to talk about it with helps. Thanks for sharing.
Tania
Posted at 09:02h, 14 AugustLOVE this idea! Such a great way to get a community together. Well done girl! <3
Melissa
Posted at 09:34h, 14 AugustIs there a way to join the group without others seeing that I’m part of it? We have not made our IF journey public with everyone and I would prefer not to right now. This is an awesome idea!
Amy
Posted at 15:48h, 14 AugustI agree with Melissa. I would love to know that it’s private and not available for others to see that I joined the group. We have not made it public either.

Posted at 12:29h, 14 Augusti’m going to make a comment anyway – since i may never be physically able to have kids…..i probably fit into this group also
Stacy Maggard

Lisa
Posted at 15:27h, 14 AugustWhat a wonderful idea, Caroline! I have no doubt God will bless this ministry.
Deborah
Posted at 15:47h, 14 AugustThis would have been a great group to have when we were going through this. Fortunately in our 30’s I suddenly started having children, but until then I had so much pain and it really did seem like I was all alone.
What a blessing your support is going to provide!

Posted at 16:32h, 15 AugustThis is a big mission, and one that I certainly know is unmet where I live. You have so much to be proud of. You truly are blessing others.

Posted at 21:58h, 15 AugustOh I am so proud of you! How wonderful Caroline. You are such a blessing and this will surely bless others.
God bless you my friend.

Wishing you a lovely weekend.

Posted at 04:41h, 16 AugustI have traveled this road and it can be trying. After much prayer and waiting for 13 years we had our daughter. What a blessing and joy she is. I had to go it alone, but I’m sure it would have been comforting to have had support. It is a great idea and it will be a great help to the women you support!
Danielle
Posted at 21:17h, 16 AugustGreat group! I’m sure it will be helpful to others going through this!
Carolyn
Posted at 20:59h, 17 AugustI’ve been looking for something like this because there are no support groups local to where I live.
Amanda
Posted at 00:39h, 18 AugustI have 2 boys already, thanks to fertility treatments. Our family isn’t complete, though. We will have to do IVF again. Can I join?
Laura @ Making Baby Provence
Posted at 17:04h, 19 AugustSo excited about this! I just sent a join request. Yay!!
Melissa
Posted at 10:16h, 21 AugustHey! Is there a way you can send me the link through FB messenger? I can’t seem to join from here because I’m at work & FB is blocked, but it won’t let me through my phone either!
Rhonda
Posted at 14:02h, 02 SeptemberSo glad you made this group online and would love to join if I fit the criteria. All the best!
Bethany
Posted at 21:34h, 01 OctoberI would love to join the group! My husband and I have only shared with close friends and some family our story, so it would be great to be able to share and help support other women who can relate.

Posted at 11:48h, 19 OctoberI’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog, I’m VERY new to blogging about infertility, I’ve been blogging about beauty for a couple of years now. I would LOVE to join this group. Unfortunately, don’t really know many people personally that are going thru this, so this group will be wonderful.
I’m looking forward to reading more about your journey and following along.
Prayers for you and your husband!
-Lily

Posted at 19:01h, 04 FebruaryYour blog totally inspired me to write my feelings down, and boy am I glad I finally did. It literally feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest to finally be able to put myself out there in hopes of helping anyone that reads. Thanks so much for your encouragement!!

Posted at 11:37h, 27 AprilAnd then the guilt.
I became pregnant and lost our three babes. Pain and sorrow and a depth of loss I never knew existed ensued.
Then I was pregnant again. I felt guilt for leaving three babies behind. I felt guilt for the ensuing tests and ultrasounds done at the clinic we went to, where other couples waiting for a baby would hear our joy. It’s such a weird place to be.
Has anyone else felt this way?
Natalie Casey
Posted at 12:26h, 04 MayThis is wonderful. I’ve sent a request via Facebook. Lost our baby on Christmas and haven’t been able to get pregnant again. Seeing A specialist as they think I’m not ovulating. It’s been a rough 2016. Excited to not feel so alone!
Kelsey Thompson
Posted at 11:29h, 10 MayWould love to be a part of this if it is still a thing! We are not public about our journey yet though. How do I join without letting the whole world see?
Mos
Posted at 21:23h, 27 MayThis is a wonderful idea ladies. From current personal experience, it’s sometimes hard to talk about with family or close friends. Having such a forum, allows uninhibited communication. God bless you all.

Posted at 23:20h, 09 JulyDoes one need to have a Facebook account in order to be a part of this group?

Posted at 17:45h, 13 DecemberYour letter to moms in the making came at the perfect time. I met with my RE today for a debriefing on my last 3/3 failed round of IVF and she mentioned using donor eggs; I’m going to be 32 in February and I’m not willing to believe that my husband and I cannot create our own loving family. The Bible is filled with stories of miraculous conception and I’m not willing to give up and it was suggested I start speaking to someone about these thoughts and feelings and I believe a moms in the making group is somewhere my thoughts would be most understood. So thank you!

Posted at 16:47h, 26 FebruaryHi there! I would love to join this group. My husband and I were just told we would never have children naturally and it has been a devastating news. I’ve been reading your blog and it has helped provide encouragement. I would love to be part of the group on a deeper level.
