Hopefully I can start to enjoy pregnancy now

[Box01]

So after being very reserved and nervous after having our BFP (I know I should have been jumping and screaming for joy) and still being wary after our viability scan I'm hoping after having our 12 week scan today and all looking good I can finally start to enjoy being pregnant and can say I'm pregnant without feeling like a fraud or like I'm tempting fate. We were told we are measuring just over 12 weeks with our due date on the 15th February. I'm hoping I can now relax into pregnancy, I already feel a lot happier and I feel although we've finally achieving a win it doesn't undo the hard journey we've had, I'm a different person to what I was two and a half years ago and I feel any woman who has had infertility problems carry around invisible scars for the rest of their lives. Good luck to everyone, I hope luck, and science are on your side. Xxxx

Congratulations ! I had my 12 week scan today and I know what you mean about feeling a fraud /tempting fate. Funny how you say you are a different person now, my husband and I had exactly the same conversation after the scan ! Hopefully we can both start to relax into our pregnancy and enjoy it now though xx

It's all still raw for me, even now being pregnant which is strange but then after living through such a hard time, for me, that time isn't going to disappear. My friendship are different with some people, the way I see fertility has obviously changed and its not something that just happens. Hopefully in a few years it will have healed a bit. Good luck to you guys xx

I felt less anxious once we started telling people and all those people took it for granted that our pregnancy would result in a baby- I realised I hadn’t been allowing myself to think this for the first trimester. Hope you relax soon x

Yes, I totally understand your comment about the pregnancy resulting in a baby, I feel the same but when I actually let myself think we might have a little baby in 6 months it's quite exciting. Thank you xxx

Congratulations, I'm having my 12 week scan tomorrow. When are you going to tell people you are pregnant?

[Box01 in reply to Pigeon2017]

Not for a while I don't think, I have a bump so it's feels like it obvious at work, although it's probably all in my head. I think I'll wait another couple of weeks and then tell people, it won't be a big social media announcement, just telling people when I see them. Good luck for tomorrow xx
