Update
I haven’t posted in a while but thought I would give an update. I’m now 24 weeks pregnant and have had a semi-smooth pregnancy so far some of the symptoms I’ve had are;
Symptoms
- light bleed (turned out I am A- (RhD Neg) so needed to get the preventative anti D shot early.
- Left side chest, arm and side pain that feels like a mild heart attack (well no quite but painful).
- General aches and pains
- No real cravings but definitely increase appetite (I have pre- breakfast meals 🍽️)
Emotions
Over half way through now and I can really say every pregnancy is a whirlwind, some moments have been horrid and I only really feel like I can be excited as of recently. The anxiety of pregnancy is a real thing from people saying “you should feel X” or “why don’t you sound excited” but to be honest you just want to make it to the finish line safely I absolutely cannot wait to hold my baby boy and fill his life with love 💙
Well wishes
I hope anyone just starting or going through IVF right now is doing well and I 100% pray for you, this journey isn’t for the weak 🙏🏾
