Lets talk Fear.
Infertility Fear. It's never going to happen. Despite every test, every shot/pill, every RE appointment, it's not going to happen. Then what?
Pregnancy Fear. For some..most...probably just some, fear is a part of us every.stinkin'.day. It.never.goes.away. My sister said some time ago (oh wise one) that you first fear seeing the initial HB, then it's the 12 week mark, then the 20 week anatomical scan, then the "viable" point in a pregnancy (is it 28 weeks? but that does not ensure quality of life), then birth. The fear really never goes away. Back then, I disagreed with her, I believe I said something to the tone of, I just want to hit 12 weeks, now, I 100% agree. To me, it becomes more so because now you're considered " in the safe zone" and maybe even betting on this actually happening..then if something, God forbid, happens, it's even worse. I honestly don't know what I would do. Survive I guess.
People seem to like to share their horrid pregnancy stories of a friends' friend who had issues. Stillbirths, Scary. Birth Defects. Scary. Soo many things can go wrong and for some reason everyone has to tell their horror stories. Why would you do this I ask myself. It's depressing to one who already worries about everything from eating Feta to driving (accident!).
So what to do? Take it a day at a time.
Cheers.
