Pregnant forever
Show your support
I can understand that feeling. This is my first pregnancy- did IUI and am a single mom by choice. I’m ready to have my body back but also have gotten used to being pregnant and love feeling her kick and move around. How you’re feeling is normal. She’ll always be connected to you even when she’s born it’ll just be an adjustment. Definitely reach out to your supports or here if you have a hard time ❤️
I also found out super early at 8dpo, but not ivf, just had symptoms that aligned with my first pregnancy (this one was originally a twin pregnancy, but one was re-absorbed between 8-10 weeks, which is my guess why I got a positive so early on an at home test) but YES! It feels like forever from finding out in early June to it being New Years in about 2 weeks! Ready for little girl #2 to meet us but also very nervous about balancing a new little one with work and my 2.5 year old. We'll figure it out, mama! Just gotta take it one day at a time! From after my 1st, it's more work but way more fun to have them outside the belly! <3
@Angie I had twins as well… But same super early at like 6 weeks. Thanks for the response ❤️
@Alyssa love the single mom by choice! yes there’s no denying there’s a connection for sure. I wasn’t expecting to get so attached while pregnant
@Alyssa same here IUI and single mom. Though a different situation in that I know my donor and he is involved enough that I at least have a little support. I love feeling her move too but would love to get rid of the anxiety about the times she’s stubborn and won’t. Feels like such a roller coaster and the closer it gets the more mixed emotions about delivery I have since I will be alone.
I really get this. I feel like as long as hes in my belly i know where he is and i know that hes safe. Giving him to caretakers at 6 weeks and going back to work has been terrifying me.
I’m ivf due Feb 24th. Ive felt pregnant for soo long but every new thing I experience makes me feel closer to birth and extra pregnant as in im almost done I guess? But at the same time I’m becoming anxious and I want him out already I’m tired of the inside view. Im very uncomfortable and I want my body back 😭
Also did IVF and haven't had a normal cycle since last December. So ready for the hormone roller coaster to be done! And yeah finding out at 9dpo definitely makes the pregnancy seem longer!
