I am overthinking things I’m sure but I lifted my niece out her cot today. She’s 20 months. No pain before or after but I am so paranoid. I’ve helped her up, she’s sat on my knee for a cuddle. We have been playing but I am no worried that I shouldn’t have! Surely this is ok? Any opinions?

Don’t stress about it - I had to carry my 5 year old (so 2 stone?) home from school the week after my transfer and didn’t prevent my twins from implanting x
It’s easy to over think things but I’m sure you will be absolutely fine and this will have made no impact to the process. There are lots of people who have little ones who go through treatment and will have to pick them up etc throughout - or people who fall pregnant naturally and lift many objects. The human body is prepped for all of this 💪🏼 Hope you feel at ease soon and wishing you lots of luck for test day 🤞🏼✨ xxx
Yeah, I had transfer on Fri, trying for a second baby. They tell you not to lift anything heavy, but try telling that to my toddler when she wants picking up!!
As said above, people who fall pregnant naturally must do stuff like this all the time before they even know they're pregnant so we're probably being over cautious!!
I’m currently starting a FET cycle and I have an 18mth old who weighs at least 13kg! So not much choice there, I don’t think he’ll accept a ‘mummy can’t pick you up for a few weeks’ 🤪 x
I had been trying for a sibling for our daughter who is 21 months old (she took us 7 years of TTC to have )and I have carried her lots! I've fallen pregnant three times since having her- first was our second daughter Amelia who sadly died at 20 weeks ( never established a cause of death) a chemical pregnancy last month and I'm pregnant again hoping to be able to complete our family unit end of this year! My point is carrying my daughter hasn't stopped embryos implanting. Lots of women have babies whilst looking after their toddlers . I don't think you have done anything that could've jeopardise your chances- they are safely surrounded by a pool of water. Really don't think it is that easy to dislodge a viable embryo - my late gran fell down the whole escalator pregnant with my mum and she was fine. Good luck with your OTD I hope it's a BFP Xx
My acupuncturist told me plenty of cuddles with my nieces and nephew after transfer help your hormones!! I’d focus on that more than the fact you lifted her out. More than likely it won’t make a blind bit of difference. Everything crossed for you!!
Thank you every one! For the advice and comfort! I had my BFP a few days ago so just not so patiently waiting on my viability scan! If I would stay off google I wouldn’t have thought about it! She slapped my tummy not viciously and that’s what made me google and most say it’s ok but you always get a few that plant that seed of worry! Thanks again and good luck to you all xxx
