Anxiety

I am thankfully (and hopefully) now 11 weeks. I just can’t shake the feeling that something’s wrong. I’ve had two scans and am extremely anxious when I go in, reassured for a few minutes when I’m there and then the second I leave the feeling comes back. I haven’t had a scan since my 8 weeks and my first nhs scan is on the 16th December. I don’t really have any symptoms anymore, I was having nausea up until 9 weeks and it’s now relaxed. I just wondered if this is common during ivf pregnancies as we have obviously wished for this for quite a while. Am I being silly & overthinking ? Any comments appreciated 💗🩵

Not sure with ivf pregnancies as I’ve never gone through that however my nausea stopped at 9 weeks and came back a few weeks later and was told that is quite common xx

I hear about pregnancy anxiety even for people who haven't been through the whole IVF rollercoaster so definitely 100% normal. I know symptoms fluctuate. I bled on and off from 6 to 12 weeks 😭 but when things settled down and I had no symptoms I still worried! It wasn't until much further along in my pregnancy that I started to believe it might actually be happening. Maybe when I started feeling kicks! I paid for a few scans and they did help for a little but no matter how many scans I went for it didn't change the feeling that something was going to go wrong. Obviously things can and do but the likelihood does reduce a lot after you reach the 12 week mark. Wishing you all the best 🤗

Also not sure about IVF pregnancy but will just say that everything is changing all the time!! One day you feel fine like completely normal then another day you’re nauseous or tired and another day energised. In first trimester before you start to feel baby move, “no news is good news” was my mantra. It’s so easy to get caught up in anxiety so I would try and focus on that, maybe try some meditation or mantras. I reikied myself every day at the beginning! And I’ve been listening to Pop That Mumma’s birth box meditations

I felt like this all way through my ivf pregnancy perfectly normal we didnt tell anyone untill i was 5 months didnt buy anything till then either,even then i still didnt want to go mad buying stuff incase x
