My IVF pregnancy has been medically “successful” so far but emotionally I still feel like I’m waiting for something to go wrong at every appointment. Did anyone else feel unable to relax during pregnancy after infertility?
Oh yes, absolutely. After IVF, I didn't feel like I could relax for a long time. Every scan, every appointment, every little symptom had me convinced something was about to go wrong. And Really Infertility teaches you to guard your heart, so when pregnancy finally happens, it's hard to suddenly switch into feeling carefree and confident. Be kind to yourself. What you're feeling is so common after a long fertility journey. I felt this way too in my treatment journey, and today I'm looking at my little one sleeping beside me, so don't worry its all worth it.
