Mind-body connection???

I'm worried that my mind won't support my body to get pregnant. My mum died when I was young. My dad lives abroad and is a poor father figure. I'm estranged from my sister. Plan to use a sperm donor. I'm so ready to cherish a child. But I know mentally I lack family network and I wonder if my mind deep down is working against pregnancy. Do you think the lack of family will interfere with getting pregnant?

I think there is a lot of mindfulness work that you can do to overcome this. I think it’s possible to get pregnant not doing it but it’s much more likely if you are working through these thoughts and reprogramming your subconscious. I did it. My, for lack of a better term, issues were different than yours but they definitely felt like they were in the way of my end goal of pregnancy. Lack of family will not hinder your ability to get pregnant but I do believe mind set can play a role. All the work you do on yourself before your baby arrives will only help make you that much better of a mama. ☺️

@Kate thank you ♥️

Hmm.. I have no support around me in the form of family and friends, was in a toxic relationship and have come from a really bad/hard place that’s really impacted me a lot! I also used a sperm donor and in 2022 I still decided to give it a go. The first attempt didn’t work but the second did. I worried the whole pregnancy that I wouldn’t be able to sustain life but after some complications mid way through, he arrived happy and healthy! There is a possibility that your mental state can put too much stress on you which in turn will impact you negatively when trying to conceive, however there is always ways around creating a positive outlook and environment around you.. you just have to ask yourself if this is something you think you can manage alone with no support.

I don’t think it will stop you from getting pregnant but I do think it will worry you and make you second guess yourself more. Talking to a therapist might really help. For me even a couple of sessions really helped me put my own upbringing into perspective so i could stop projecting the past onto the future

@Jessica yes, the second guessing really undermines me

@Shay really positive story. I feel ready. I just hope it works,xx

May god send you a good man with a full kind network to compensate for what you saw,

@April thank you. This is it exactly. Said so spot on.💔
