28 weeks today

Never thought I’d ever say the words…I’m in my third trimester ☺️ Pregnancy after infertility/sub-fertility is an absolute doozy. I do wonder sometimes whether I’d be enjoying it more if it wasn’t convinced it would be taken away from me at any moment. I’m just so grateful to be in this position, and I’d convinced myself it would never happen for me. Gush over!

I know how you feel, took me years to conceive. I’d even started counselling to come to terms with the fact it would never happen. Completely gave up on trying and after a drunken night in April here I am 29 weeks pregnant. It makes you grateful beyond words but also heightens your anxiety. I’m not sure I’ve yet come to terms with it, I don’t think I’ll believe it until I hold my baby in my arms. Try and stay positive ❤️

@Laura haha it seems April was theee month! Congratulations to you! I get exactly what you mean - I’ve made the most elaborate spreadsheet of baby stuff that I need but I’m afraid to buy any of it in case I “jinx” something!

I feel quite similar. Took so long to get to this point that I think it still hasn't sunk in and I'm almost 30 weeks!

@Helen that's kind of where I'm at. We done IVF and even here at 29 weeks neither my husband or I want to buy stuff because it doesn't feel properly real yet. We've also had a few issues along the way with the pregnancy so it's almost like we still don't want to get our hopes up 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Loren congrats to you 🥰 it is the most surreal thing. Like learning the tooth fairy is real after coming to terms with the fact it isn’t!

@Nilz aw I’m so glad to hear your IVF worked ❤️ I feel you on the issues too, it definitely doesn’t help does it! Hopefully we can all have a dose of reality soon so we can crack on with things 😂
