Being silly

[lady123]

I need somebody to tell me how silly I am being. My little one was born this morning. She was conceived by IVF. My husband and I keep on looking at her without being able to see any of each other features. I can't stop thinking " did they put the wrong embryo back in?" Please somebody tell me I am being terribly silly...

Congratulations on becoming a mummy. There's no way they would mix your embryos up....as a nurse myself I know how much we double check things. A baby never really looks like anyone when their born try to relax and enjoy being a parent finally. Your at the end of your IVF journey and the start of you parent journey.xxxxx

Congratulations!!! Lovely news!! I would imagine you will be very tired and baby is brand new, her features wil change and settle over the next few days anyway. Try to get some rest and enjoy these first few days being a Mummy ☺️ x x x

Congratulations!

My friend had the same feeling (naturally conceived) and now she has a mini-her crawling about.

The clinic has to do so many checks

Congratulations! Im sure it's just your baby settling in, they change so much from day 1.... give a few weeks and I bet she will look just like you xxx

Many congratulations. Enjoy your bundle of joy. Babies features change over time. I am watching my 1 year old nephew change so much since he was born. Your little one has only just been born. I do not think you have anything to worry about there are so many checks in place before embryo transfer. Enjoy your baby.

Hi lady123. I've been at this game for 20 years now, and there's no way with all the stringent testing and checking that goes on in clinics that your baby is not yours. Give yourself a week and you will start to see some similarities I'm sure. Remember too that you have parents and grand parents that your little one could look more like. Try and stop worrying and enjoy your little one. Take lots of photos and you will soon see that all the worry was for nothing. Huge congratulations by the way! Diane
