Taking The Long Way: Dixie Chicks Candid Interview About Infertility

Posted by Karen

 

Two of the Dixie Chicks, sisters Martie McGuire and Emily Robison recently spoke with Conceive Online.  Never ones to hold back, the two are very candid about what they went through, and how they felt when Natalie Maines conceived both her kids without problems.

They wrote a song "So Hard," about their experiences and it's on their latest album, "Taking The Long Way."  They say they couldn't have found the strength to write the song while in the throes of infertility, but decided until they were successful to sing about it.  From the song:

It felt like a given
Something a woman is born to do
A natural ambition
See a reflection of me and you
And I’d feel so guilty
If that was a gift I couldn’t give
And could you be happy
If life wasn’t how we pictured it

The entire piece is well written and a great source of inspiration for those of us who have been through infertility, and perhaps those going through it now.
