Does it ever sink in?

[archigirl]

this is a really interesting thread - I am only new on this site (only joining after becoming PG) but it's reassuring to read that others after LTTTC have these feelings and worries. I have been feeling guilty about being so detached from the reality of being pregnant even now with bubs performing the rumba in there.

We were so grateful our first IVF cycle was successfull and I thought the worrying and waiting would be over once we got that BFP but I am not sure my FS helped by saying she would really celebrate when the 7 week scan showed a heartbeat which gave me whole new set of deadlines (7wk, 12wk, 20wk) to think about. Now I concern myself with whether she is moving enough!

Anyway at 23 weeks I strive to keep my worries a bay and enjoy this journey but thanks very much for starting up this discussion

It is good to hear that I am not alone in the way that I am thinking - although I'm a little sad to hear that after all of our struggles to get pregnant, there are so many of us unable to fully enjoy our pregnancies.

Thanks for everyone's responses.

This is exactly how I'm feeling as of late. I'm terrified of everything, and constantly doubt the success of this pregnancy

Hopefully the fear will ease and I can begin to enjoy it
