But it's totally normal to be anxious when you fought so hard for this little one. We all need that recognition at some point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538917151573217678.post-25090962276798072262011-05-31T10:41:48.428-07:002011-05-31T10:41:48.428-07:00Sorry it has taken me so long to comment. For wha...Sorry it has taken me so long to comment. For what my opinion is worth, I think you are doing very well with everything. Everything you are describing is typical post-IF pregnancy thoughts and feelings. We know so much about everything that can go wrong, when it is likely to go wrong, what scans may/should look like at each step of the way, etc., that I think it is unrealistic to think that we wouldn't be more stressed and worried than someone without all of that knowledge. I'm struggling to remind myself that for all of the bad things that could happen, the odds are always on the side of things working out just fine. I'm sorry you didn't get to see the heartbeat at your first scan, but I'm so excited for you that you still have that experience to look forward to.Princess Wahna Bea Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525236950612612052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538917151573217678.post-15604926733110511712011-05-29T19:18:30.021-07:002011-05-29T19:18:30.021-07:00Hormones amplify every emotion... and I can comple...Hormones amplify every emotion... and I can completely understand you wanting to see your little ones heartbeat but not long now until your next US. Hunger is a great symptom... that just gets worse over your pregnancy. You're so right.... everything is worth it for our future little ones. Love always xoxo<br /><br />PS. I'm going to take my blog private in a week or so... and would love to keep sharing my journey with you.

Some days it's hard to feel reassured. You're absolutely right to blame your hormones. It's impossible to be rational sometimes, I find. The one thing that seems to ring true in all I've read is that for most people it gets easier as things progress.

So I agree, if I have to get every shot, scan, and poke available to get to the other side, bring it on. Stay strong!bean dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190918138869732617noreply@blogger.com
