"Secondary infertility" is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived and carried a normal pregnancy. Apart from various medical conditions (e.g. hormonal), this may come as a result of age and stress felt to provide a sibling for their first child.

I am trying to think of a more positive phrase. yesterday another mother said to me "is he your oldest?" (refering to my 3 year old son).
