When do you stop worrying?

Question

After trying to get pregnant for so long, undergoing test after test, seeing negatives and failures over and over, when do you stop feeling anxious and nervous? I finally got my BFP after IVF, my beta numbers look great, but I can't stop worrying. For those farther along (I'm at 5w1d), does it get easier / better? What advice do you have for not letting the anxious worrying take over your life??

Answer

I agree with others that the worrying never stops. I am currently 7w after a few rounds of IVF. I named my embryos on transfer day, silly names, not realistic baby names, and I made up a rhyme about them. Every time I begin to feel stressed out, I close my eyes and repeat the rhyme a few times until I am calmed down. It's important to stay positive and this silly trick has helped me maintain a positive outlook so far!

Best of luck!

Worrying is just a part of being a mum, you are always going to be worried. Although there will come a time where you get over the disbelief you are preg.. Your not alone, we are all worried and it won't stop for us either. You have made it this far which I know I def thought I wouldn't. Whatever will be, will be. X

Answer

You never stop worrying, even when their 10 and going off to their first sleep over or driving off to college. Worrying comes with the job, welcome to parenthood. Try not to let it drive you crazy though. Do what you can to stay healthy and protect them, but at some point you just have to relax about it.

I'm right there with you Jess. If you figure something out please share. ?

Answer

It's tough and I totally worried a lot even after I got BFP because I just didn't trust that it was real. People kept telling me to be happy but I was just super skeptical at every Dr's appt. Having morning sickness actually made me worry a bit less Bc my brain was busy trying to think of ways to feel better and also bc MS is usually an indicator that the pregnancy is progressing as it should. I felt a huge amount of relief at my 12 week scan followed by a month of more worries once the morning sickness subsided and I still couldn't feel the baby and I wasn't showing yet. That was probably the hardest bit so far where I just had to have faith that eveything was okay. I got a Doppler and used it a couple of times during that period just to hear the baby's heartbeat for reassurance. Now after my 20 wk scan I'm feeling a lot more at ease and I'm finally showing and I can feel the baby moving from time to time so I'm starting to feel more excited about being pregnant and less worried.

Answer

It's very hard not to worry when you have struggled with infertility. I'm 9 weeks pregnant after a successful IVF and I still feel worried. What helped me relax a little though, was prayer. Your baby is a blessing and we need to accept God's blessing. :-). Also, my fertility specialist said a good HCG shows strong attachment so that's a great sign!!
