It's been happening since long before there were epidurals or doulas, Lovenox or IVF. Women have been getting pregnant - and not getting pregnant.Pregnancy and infertility is a tough topic. Reading about it can be rough on women who crave the gift of a baby in their belly. But there is a wealth of beautiful writing out there by women who share their fears, sorrow, disgust and giddiness. These women have created a valuable community.Through loss and gain, the ten women whose blogs we adore give us the gift of their reproductive experiences. They tell the most intimate stories; the details told only between the best of friends until blogging came along. Don't stop with the bloggers' posts, because the comments are invaluable too. Hundreds more outpourings appear there. Sure, not everyone has trouble getting pregnant, but everyone needs support, even if it's just to know that she doesn't, in fact, have the most swollen ankles in recorded history.And, of course, there's humor amidst the chaos, like Ova Girl's nephew telling her that he hopes she has a boy, since girls "have no common sense."It's difficult to find fabulous blogs by pregnant women while they are still pregnant, since although it feels like a lifetime, pregnancy is fleeting. These wonderful ten - some pregnant, some still working at it - are all shouting through cyberspace, "You're not alone."Related Top 10 Sources: Motherhood | Womens Health | Health News | Fatherhood
