Struggling with feelings of inadequacy from Ivf
So after a year of trying, my husband and I went through IVF and are about 4 months pregnant with our first child. It only took one round, and everything went very according to plan. I’m just wondering if anyone feels any lesser because they went through IVF... I struggle with feeling different than other women who got pregnant naturally.
Sometimes people will say things about like the process as if we did it like everyone else, or “look at what y’all made” and my mom got me a shirt that says “if you didn’t put it there, don’t touch it” (meaning my bump) but in my heart it feels different because we didn’t do the conventional route, as we didn’t have a lot of choice and this was our main hope to have a child, but lately I’ve been struggling with these feelings. I hate feeling this way, but I feel lesser and I never in a million years thought I’d have these feelings after going through this.
Please don’t be rude, I can’t help how I feel, and I’m just trying to get past it.
