This!! I had my daughter 2 weeks ago and felt the exact same. I started IVF around the same time as you. We had success after 3 transfers. I finally allowed myself to enjoy my pregnancy after 22 weeks along. It was wonderful. I love my baby soo much but I was surprised that I cried for several nights postpartum because I was grieving my pregnancy. I would reach down to rub my bump but it was gone 😢 and I dont feel her little feet or her hiccups anymore. I was very confused by this emotion because wasn't the whole point of IVF to have a baby?? And I have one now, so why so many tears? I'm glad you felt the same. It makes me feel normal now. Thank you ❤
Huge congratulations on your baby and thank you so much for sharing all of this!!😭😍 Aren’t all the different emotions CRAZY?! Wow you just can’t prepare for it until you’re in it which is even more difficult. Praying for lots of strength for you as you journey through those tough newborn days. You got this!!💗🤗
On the Infertility Feelings podcast they basically said something along the lines of “it’s going to hurt if something goes wrong whether you get excited or not”. I’ve been trying to hold onto that and trying to remain present and celebrate the small wins. But like you said, I’m not even pregnant but I already feel sad that when and if it happen, it will likely only be once. Thank you for your candor and vulnerability here.
I’m so sorry for me delayed reply! I’m not sure how I missed your comment I apologize! I’m not familiar with that podcast; I’ll definitely be checking it out thank you! Thank you for your sweet comment and for sharing your feelings as well because a lot of viewers read the comments and I know many people can relate to what you’re saying❤️ Like you said, keep celebrating the small wins; that’s a great way of approaching all of this. Keep moving forward and I pray that you get your miracle too!💕 you got this!!
Thank you for being so open and sharing your journey ❤️ I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant from IVF with my first pregnancy. It’s definitely been hard not to worry but I’m trying to talk to my baby everyday and pray over my tummy everyday telling God how grateful I am. I completely understand the wanting to almost pretend you’re not pregnant/not think about it, bc the thought of it not working out is too painful to grasp, but sharing how that can also cause you pain is very eye opening. I really appreciate you and your videos. They have really helped a lot ❤️
Aww thank you so much for sharing and HUGE congratulations girl!!! I’m incredibly happy for you!! I know you’re early so I remember how on edge I was at that stage, but once you get into the second trimester really try hard not to worry and to just enjoy it❤️ it’s good you’re already taking to your baby that’s always helpful💕 Stay positive and keep taking good care of yourself especially your mind
I am an ivf mama too.. But i have twins.. Girl and a boy.. They are almost two month old.. Postpartum had been really hard on me too.. But i am kind of better now 🤷♀️
Oh wow you’re an incredible mama!!! I can’t even imagine have 2!!!! Wow!! One day at a time, one feeding at a time, one nap at a time and before you know it they will both be smiling at you and sleeping through the night. You got this!!🤗🤗

Brittany, thank you so much for your candor! My first transfer is today, August 16th at 1pm. @majecusi, praying that your first transfer is successful. Watch Brittany’s other videos of what she did to prepare for FET. I don’t like needles, so I skipped acupuncture but did other self care exercises last night. Today I came to work to get my mind off stressing too much about the transfer.
