Shelbie :
Two things can be true at the same time. Pregnancy is incredibly hard. The hardest thing most people will do. And you have every right to complain about hurting while also being so grateful for him ❤

100% feel this! My husband and I went though 5 IVF cycles and finally got pregnant with on our 5th transfer (I have PCOS too). I’m 21 weeks! We are so happy and blessed but it still does not seem real and complaining about the discomfort and issues seems wrong after going through all that we did to get pregnant

I feel this! I also did IVF and got pregnant with my first FET and I’m in my second trimester and it hasn’t been great or magical *yet*. Been feeling sick since the beginning just having pains. Hoping it gets better 🙏🏻 I’m grateful but still feel miserable and it does make me feel guilty!

100%. Week 32 and it can feel so isolating and hard. What I’ve learned is both can be true and ofc it’s hard!!! We are growing life - our bodies are amazing for what we have been through pre-pregnancy and throughout ✨

Your feelings are still valid no matter what. I’m going through infertility and waiting for IVF and I think it’s natural to feel how you feel but remember if you are struggling or in pain and need to vent all this is still important to express. ❤

Your body is doing intense work, and your discomfort deserves compassion and care, don’t feel guilty. ❤ You can feel thankful and also exhausted, sore, and overwhelmed. Those truths can coexist ❤️Sending love, you’re so close!

I’ve been trying to reframe my thoughts during my IVF pregnancy & acknowledging not only do we endure the typical aches, pains and exhaustion of pregnancy but we have also already endured and gone through SO much before this too. We are just so ready for our baby to be here, to not be physically struggling anymore & I think that is very valid 🤍

I also got pregnant through IVF, even though I am happy for this miracle, I have a lot of trauma post IVF process, I do therapy because I struggle a lot

100% the “you must be grateful” thought is something I still struggle with. I love hearing people talk about this because it’s been hard for me to vocalize/explain post IVF/birthing emotions

Experiencing this now as I start my second trimester. I’m currently miserable with nausea/morning sickness and it’s hard. I’m grateful to be pregnant AND I’m so sad feeling like this every single day. It’s a vicious cycle…

I feel like because we’ve gone through IVF we deserve to vocalize how we feel even more. I envy the women who can get pregnant naturally without even trying. I’m 28 and I’ve gone through 4 rounds of IVF since February. I actually thought I would be pregnant the same time you were as I followed your journey. But I know that when my time comes, I will feel like I deserve every second of it after going through the most difficult time in my life

IVF mum here and I felt the exact same way, when IVF works, especially the first time its this narrative your lucky, which is completely true but it doesnt wipe away the years struggles or the intense physical and emptional experience that pregnancy is. I had a previous natural pregnancy and I felt more permitted to complain then even though the IVF journey and pregnancy was a million times harder and more isolating

I struggled with the same thing after getting pregnant after infertility. Just remind yourself that two things can be true at once. You can love this baby and be grateful and thankful for him. But you can also acknowledge that you’re human and pregnancy is HARD. You got this mama 🤍

Can you @marillewellyn share what the things are in pregnancy that are hard and painful? I’m in trimester two so I still have all that in front of me, and would be nice to know what to expect and when to expect it. But of course I understand that we are all different. Many hugs for you 🤗❤️and I also think two thinks can be true at once. I struggled with infertility for 2,5 years before we became pregnant, and I was complaining a lot about fatigue the first month, because I couldn’t do anything beside get trough my workday, and at the same time I was so greatful and amazed with finally being pregnant. 🤰
