Hello lovelies πŸ’–

I was in 2 minds about posting this. But then I thought of when I was on the IVF train how I loved hearing all the ladies journeys I was following, all their milestones, and being so happy when they finally made it...finally got their miracles. But I'm truely sorry if this upsets anyone. I really do sometimes feel like I have survivors guilt. May sound silly but that's honestly how I feel.

We had our anatomy scan today and happy to announce baby is looking healthy, and just perfect! Such a relief, and I still cannot believe ive come this far and this incredible human is growing inside of me πŸ’• also I can confirm we are having a little boy! πŸ’™πŸ’™ we are beyond excited! And so so greatful.

So ladies dreams do come true..I am living proof. I had truely given up.. and come to terms with the fact I was never going to be a mother. And here I am 😍 and just want to thank all the lovely ladies who helped me through the very tough and often heartbreaking IVF journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I pray you all get your miracles one day...it really can and does happen! Even if sometimes it doesnt seem like it ever will. Sending love, light and baby dust to you all πŸ’–β€πŸ’•

Thank you 😘 I honestly had given up, IVF money had run out and I was just emotionally spent. Then this little miracle happened naturally 😍 I wish you all the best on your journey xxx

Aww thanks so much jess really means alot 😘 I will definatley post a pic when he arrives..wish time would hurry up lol πŸ˜‰ just want him safe in my arms. I hope you and your little one are well πŸ˜˜πŸ’–πŸ’•

β€’ in reply toNiki_B

Oh I know that feeling of just wanting them here safely 😍 When they are here time goes too fast! Francesca is 13 months old I don’t know where that time has gone. We are trying & hoping for another one ( but realistically I know with my endo the odds are stacked against us) it's nice when you know the gender you can buy some clothes etc ( not that much in neutral clothes!) Makes it quite real 😁being a mum is the hardest job in the world but without a doubt the best πŸ™‚ I think after such a struggle it’s appreciated that much more. πŸ’— xxx

How wonderful this is ❀️ Life is so strange! But this truly is beautiful. Congratulations x

That’s great news, many congratulations. I have my 20 week scan next Weds and hoping all will be ok with my little one. I found out I’m having a little girl 3 weeks ago at a private scan so feeling apprehensive about how the 20 scan will go but all signs so far point to her been ok in prior scans. Hope your next phase of pregnancy is happy and healthy❀️

Congratulations! As someone just embarking the journey (well 6 days into her 2ww post fet) it's so uplifting to hear about a happy ending. I think one positive of this journey is that it teaches us ladies to be far more empathetic because we take absolutely nothing for granted. Best of luck going forward πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•
