Thank you so much for making me feel not quite so abnormal! It just feels so weird, it is like I have only just been told that I am pregnant, but wait, you will be giving birth next week hence the reason for feeling so unready.
Naomi - thank you so much for reassuring me that once the girls arrive, I should feel differently - atm I feel so ungrateful to have these little bubbas on board and I shouldn't have any reason to complain. Strange the different ways that this journey affects us.
Everyone's journey is different, the best advice is just to go with what feelings you have, validate them (good or bad) and ask for help and support (eg emotional support) if its needed.
PS. Words of advice - IVF Mumma's are allowed to complain! I always used to beat myself up when I was having a tough time as I though I should be grateful for what I had after wanting it for so long, but the truth is, motherhood and newborns can be challenging no matter how our babies were conceived, so be wary to be kind to yourself when you have tough Mummy Days xx
