You said infertility robbed you of enjoying being pregnant because of the overpowering worry that everything is okay, but that worry is the same every pregnant woman feels wanting to hear that first heartbeat and seeing a healthy sono. So I want to say welcome to motherhood where worry begins and it never stops. 😉 Totally Happy for you guys
Yes! Hubby and I struggled with infertility two times. But I think, infertility or not, very few people don't go through the same worry, especially early pregnancy. It's just not something that's talked about since so many people don't announce until they get through the first worry hurdle. And once babe arrives, the worry gets worse. Like you said, welcome to motherhood! 😊
This is so true!!!!
@@suziee6387 There might be an enhancement of those feelings for those who go through infertility (I don't know, getting pregnant wasn't easy for us). But definitely not ignorance if you haven't. Now I can only imagine that pregnancy loss would completely heighten the worry beyond what anyone can imagine unless it's been experienced. 😞
I can say from experience it hits different after infertility and especially pregnancy loss. My first baby was quick to conceive with no issues. Then had secondary infertility resulting in 2 losses, 1 which was a missed miscarriage discovered on ultrasound at 10 weeks and after conceiving later through IVF walking into that same ultrasound room I had previously receiving crushing news in was one of the most anxiety inducing things I've ever experienced.
@@allegruccik1 Ugh. I'm so sorry. 😔 Thanks for sharing your experience. That's heartbreaking.
So happy for you! I struggled with infertility for years. I’m now 21 weeks pregnant with my baby girl! It’s always terrifying but so so worth it. ❤
Thank you so much! Congratulations on your little miracle! ❤️
i have not been watching you for very long just since the point you took your first pg test, congrats by the way. but what i did want to say is, how you said your waiting for something bad because of your journey now that you have that first ultrasound that tells you there is a baby and it does have a heart beat. you pushed yourself thru all that hard stuff and did all this with emotions and financially etc to get a baby....this was the goal in mind so dont let those bad thoughts consume you, celebrate your goal...this is what you worked so hard to achieve, don't rob yourself of what you pushed so hard to get. once again congrats im excited for your new journey.
I so felt everything you stated! My first transfer was in Jan. 2020. It was successful but when I had those thoughts I called my grandmother. Well she passed from Covid when I was just 3 months, I couldn’t attend her funeral due to being pregnant and started to resent being pregnant. I hated it. However, my daughter is my saving grace. I thought this round would be easier…..and nope I will 6 wks tomorrow from the second transfer and I’m still so worried and the feelings have come up again in regards to my grandma. You are not alone! My prayers go out to you! ❤
Yes! My husband and I just had this conversation tonight. Infertility/ loss has definitely stolen my joy. even now at 28 weeks I still have so much fear that I'm gonna loose this one too.
Ahhh so so happy!! After 2 losses last year I’m hoping to finally bring a baby into the world soon ❤
I'm sending all the positive thoughts in the world to you Rebecca!! This can and will happen for you 💕
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I needed this SO badly! After 3 years of infertility, I found out I’m pregnant NATURALLY on Friday! i found out I was already pregnant at my first embryo transfer appt. I am SO excited don’t get me wrong, but I literally feel like I’ve been conditioned for things to to wrong. I have the exact feelings you are having. And it’s so nice to hear it from someone else!!!
Congratulations 🎉
That is incredible!! Congratulations! Everything you're feeling is so valid for the cards we've been dealt 💕 What a beautiful little miracle 🥹
I’m going through my own IVF journey solo right now; only received one healthy embryo from first cycle of IVF in January. Did a mock cycle because of only having one embryo, ERA results weren’t good, and I’m switching some meds this go around. My transfer date is May 4, 2023. I’ve been on this journey for 3.5 years now and have never gotten this far! But, I have watched 1,000 of videos (it feels like) and just stumbled on yours this week. You are the first person who has said EXACTLY what I have been feeling and what I have been wanting to share with friends and family who want to be supportive, but I never felt like the words I was saying came across or delivered the message I truly wanted to. But listening to you talk and process out loud has been ENORMOUSLY HELPFUL for me to be able to do that! I feel like you are speaking all my thoughts out loud!
I’m looking forward to following your journey and sending happy, positive vibes your way ❤
What you were describing in the beginning of the video reminds me of how it can be easy to feel about happiness in general. When you are so use to disappointment and sadness, it's hard to accept how and when to feel happiness. You have a natural urge to protect yourself and your feelings. Sometimes it's not even in your control, it's just how your brain and body is trying to protect you. Try to focus on the little milestones and take it day by day.
One thing I suggest is get a baby album and make notes after every ultrasound then put the pictures. I’m doing that with my pregnancy and I know I’ll look back and love all the notes. I usually put how many weeks, heat rate, what he was doing or anything else that was special. I didn’t do that with my daughter and I wish I had!
I totally relate to the waiting for the other shoe to drop. It finally did for me in my last trimester. It’s been one of the hardest times in my life. Getting diagnosed with gestational hypertension and diabetes. Many emergency room visits, inducing early, extreme worry etc. I also have severe chronic pain and fatigue so it’s been almost too much at times but at the same time I can be over over joyed with this experience. It’s hard to JUST be happy when I have dealt with so many hardships in life, but I think HOPE and faith play a huge huge role in keeping the joy and attitude up.
PS thanks for the honesty because anything really helps right now that it’s not rainbows abs butterflies 24/7 but can still be a dream come true. There is no all or nothing. We are blessed, in a perfectly imperfect way ❤
Oh gosh I wish the b6 and unisom worked for me! I hope it works for you! I am so so so happy for you both! 🎉
You are going to feel the emotions you are because you’re human. Emotions are natural, so allow them but it’s how you handle them that matters. If you need to talk to someone do it, you’ll feel so much better. Look into mindfulness techniques as well. It’s ways to put your mind and body in a more relaxed and positive place. P.S. i went through infertility too.
Hi Mac, I'm so happy for you. My pregnancy was unplanned, so I can only imagine how deep your worries are. In every pregnancy there is a certain degree of fear of the unknown. It will decrease once you start feeling your baby kick.
Just think it like this:every mom is worried for her baby, and you're a mom now! Infertility didn't rob you of this feeling!
I had the “black hole” twice. It’s a blighted ovum and It’s the most heart-dropping feeling. I understand that “ready for the other show to drop” feeling. I had 2 miscarriages and got my rainbow baby on the 3rd pregnancy! Congrats! My little girl is 6 months old and the best thing to happen to me. So happy for you!
Try having toast in the mornings. And sucking on mints that’s really helps. When I was pregnant with my daughter finally getting pregnant after 5 years I had super bad nausea. I am super happy for you guys I know when I was on cloud 9 after finding out I was pregnant after so long. Just enjoy every moment guys it’s such a beautiful feeling xx
What you said about how much infertility robs you of the experience hasn’t resonated more for me. After and ectopic, chemical, and most recently a miscarriage in Feb to now finding out I’m pregnant again after my next transfer doesn’t feel real. I feel like I’ll be waiting for the next thing to go wrong until I hold my baby. That naïveté has been crushed.
Staying positive is hard but I’m working on it and PASP 💯.
This fear and distrust/disbelief is going to stay with me. Thank you for sharing this! Your journey has been so comforting to feel like I’m going through this with you! I’ve got 3 weeks until my ultrasound!!!
Congratulations on your bean!💙💗
I found you a few weeks ago and at the right time. We are 2 years into our fertility treatment. We had 3 cancelled IUI’s due to overstimulation. We had egg collection - 8 collected, 7 made it to day 5. We had to do freeze all due to overstimulating again. We had our first transfer this time last year and sadly lost at 6 weeks due to sub chorionic hematoma. On the next cycle we tried again and we got to 8.5weeks and again lost due to SCH. We were talking about going again 7 months after loss. I wasn’t sure. I found your videos and it has reignited my want, it’s made the fear seem not as bad. I’m hoping to start prep for 3rd FET this week. Third times a charm right?
Thank you for everything and I wish you all the luck! I can’t wait to follow along your journey!
Much love and lots of baby dust. Sarah ❤
I'm so sorry to hear of your losses, Sarah 💕💕 You're so strong for even getting to this point and I do believe this can happen for you 💕 3 is Jack's lucky number so sending all that luck and positive thoughts your way!
Oh my goodness...I teared up watching your pure joy. I can't imagine a sweeter Mama.
Yes! I love the tech who reassured me as we went along. After 2 losses the first thing i look for is the heartbeat. And its so great when she goes 128...that's great. Or baby weighs 2.7 that's good! Just that little bit of reassurance goes a long way
Stopping like 2 minutes into this very exciting video just to recognize just how much work goes into your sharing this journey (with the filming and editing, plus being vulnerable to share this part of your life) and how much I appreciate you putting in all of that effort! I hope you know what a difference you have made and continue to make for those of us who are also going through this.
you are so so sweet, my goodness 🥹💕
'Infertility robs you from ignorantly thinking that everything's going to be fine' 💔 So true!
Blessings. You mentioned about perhaps needing to do ivf again for your second child. Many times after a woman is pregnant and gives birth, the body may reset. It happened with my sister in law. She couldn't get pregnant, got medical assistance, had her first born. Soon after she was getting pregnant effortlessly on her own.
Please know that the worry and anxiety you feel right now as a mommy is so normal!!! I had a miscarriage my first pregnancy and was absolutely terrified for my second! I always envied women who didn’t have to worry their first trimester but quickly learned that every mommy has their own anxieties. Just keep picturing that baby. Picture a healthy happy baby in your arms! I did that and I am sitting here holding a healthy, 5 month old baby boy!!
Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you! ❤️😭 my partner and I are a lesbian couple and we have been going through our fertility journey for about a year and a half without any luck. The process has been very draining mentally (and financially). Even though our situations are VERY different, watching you has rekindled the hope in me that it’ll happen for us when it’s time. 💞 I can’t wait to keep following you on your journey and I hope to be in your shoes very soon. 🫶🏼
The circumstances that brought us to fertility treatments may be different, but we still share in allllll the emotions that come with this journey, friend ❤️ the treatments and the waiting and the disappointments are so hard, but I know this will work out for you both and I'm here to tell you it's so worth it 🥹💕
Hi awesome mama here I am again clicking on this notification with a quickness and I'm so happy that your's and Jack's precious little angel is growing in there and looking at you both glowing is bringing tears in my eyes 😭😭😭😭
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Happy for you guys, i was just as worried for my baby as you guys were. She wasnt really planned ( we were gonna wait 6 more months to a year) but u felt the same fear you did. I wanted to see the lil heartbeat so badly, and to see her grow. But the BEST feeling is when she mkves in there. I am 20 weeks today and she has been moving for 3 weeks daily now and its so great to see, my fiance even felt the lil kicks and was so over the moon about it all. I cant wait for you guys to feel it to, it also helps that when you do ill be very close to meeeting my darling girl ❤
That's so exciting! I can't wait to feel them in there 💕💕
Just pausing the vid to say, first trimester can be the doldrums. I was really blue and strangely unexcited about being pregnant even though it was my most tender hopes and dreams that had become a reality. Also, even before I experienced any losses I was gripped with uncertainty and fear before each ultrasound. This is a natural extension of motherhood, I think. Nevertheless, with that said, no matter the journey, sadnesses, troubles, difficulties or heartbreak experienced in the path to motherhood, it is all 100% worthwhile. I am so, so excited for you and wish you and your husband every blessing and God speed.
Thank you Amy 🥹💕💕
When you first posted these videos i couldnt watch them because i was really in the thick of my infertilty feels. Now i am almost 6 weeks pregnant and have my first scan next week I am going back and rewatching all your early pregnancy videos. I have to say thank you for putting into words exactly how i'm feeling. Thankfully i havent suffered any losses but that waiting for the other shoe to drop is definitely playing heavily on my mind. It is nice to know that i'm not alone in feeling this way.
I just wanna say that i am a mom of 2 and i thankfully haven't had infertility issues, i do however get the overwhelming anxiety of losing the pregnancy with every baby i have, and then processed to fear dying myself during birth mostly from my first birth as it had complications. Not everyone is blissful and happy during pregnancy ❤ its hard, traumatic in a good sense and bad and it changes you everytime mentally and physically. Its a terrifying blessing and im excited for you guys to experience it ❤😊🎉
i couldnt have said your points at the beginning of this video any better myself- pregnancy after loss or infertility is a whole other kind of mind game. so thrilled to see that everything is looking good!
Thank you so much Erika 🥹💕
I'm so happy for the two of you. ❤❤❤❤ and happy for your sweet little growing bean. I've been struggling with anxiety this whole pregnancy. After. 3 losses and infertility it's hard to let go and relax and trust the process. Our baby girl has been growing perfectly and even at 18w4d I still worry. A few things I've done to get through the last few months is talk to my counselor as much as need, get private ultrasounds to let me check up as much as need, and taking it day by day. I try to enjoy all the little moments even if I feel like absolute death some days. I'm so excited to see yall take home your sweet little baby and how all that heart ache and discomfort has made such a beautiful and healthy little human. You got this mama!
Thank you 🥹 our miracle babies will be in our arms before we know it 💕💕
You made me cry! We did the exact path as you, and had our first daughter in December 2014. This brings back so many memories. Simultaneous rollercoasters is the best way I can describe it-as one is at its highest point, the other is at it lowest. I wish you the absolute best pregnancy, labor, and birth-ending with a healthy baby and mama. Knowing that these videos are quite behind, calms my nerves! The first trimester is so difficult yet amazing. You feel sick 24/7, full of hormones making you feel a type of extreme exhaustion that is like NOTHING else. Yet, you have no bump to show for it! A little tip that helped me through to the next appt/ultrasound is to buy a fetal doppler for home. It REALLY helped calm my nerves to hear that amazing little heart galloping away (yes,they are perfectly safe to use-coming from a pediatric nurse and mama of 5 healthy babes) until you start feeling baby consistently moving. Starting to feel baby move varies so much depending if your placenta is posterior or anterior and it being your first pregnancy. 20-22 weeks + or - a week or two depending on the above factors is around what I felt in my first pregnancy. I just thought I’d share this little tip, as it reduced my anxiety so much. I am over the moon for you and Jack. I cannot wait to watch your bump grow! Congratulations mama and daddy bear and hello little cub 🌈🎉❤
Thank you Kellie! I'm currently restraining myself from buying one because I know if I can't find the heartbeat it would send me into an absolute spiral lol but maybe when I'm slightly further along! 💕💕
@@macdingle definitely wait until they can find it at one of your prenatal appointments, then they can show you where little bean is hanging out. It’s super low by the way. Feel down where your actual pubic bone is (like hairline level-sorry, I’m an RN and mom, absolutely nothing is TMI to me lol) that’s where I usually have found it in early pregnancy. Infertility makes us all OCD/scared of everything. I totally understand all of your feelings ❤️
@@macdingle I've read mixed info on those fetal dopplers. Some say they are dangerous to baby and high risk. Maybe do more research before getting one.
Related to this so much! Felt like I couldn’t exhale until the first scan! Infertility puts a chokehold on what should be joyous and pure excitement. But each day pushing forward and focusing on having a positive mentality! So happy to see your little bean is healthy and thriving!! ✨✨
Thank you love! 💕
Congratulations to you both!!! I am so excited for you guys! I will be 10 weeks tomorrow after 2 years of infertility and multiple losses. I totally can relate to the feelings you were describing. I was telling my husband this is not at all how I expected to be feeling, it’s a sober joy. He then reminded me how much sweeter the prize will be after all of our fighting to get to him/her! ❤
Congratulations ❤ So happy for you! If you struggle with anxiety douring pregnancy, I recommend to get a fetal doppler to use at home. ☺️ It needs some practice though to know where to look for the heartbeat.
My twin boys will be 16 years next month. They were 2nd cycle IVF with ICSI babies. When you said fertility problems make you expect the worst, that really struck a cord. It was strange to finally have wonderful things happen. I am so excited for you!!
That is incredible Laura! 💕
That's amazing. We were doing IVF with some of the first ICSI cycles ever done back in the mid-1990s. Jacques Cohen PhD embryologist in Atlanta, GA. He was truly a pioneer. -- We never had kids from all our IVFs, but suppose we helped work on the kinks to improve the technology. Statistics sure improved over the years & IVF is fairly common place now. Congratulations on the twins, Laura.
@@MegF142857 Wow, you were pioneers! ICSI wasn’t super common when we did it. It’s amazing how quickly the science has evolved and how the technology improves.
Oh goodness!!!! I have been impatiently waiting!
❤️❤️❤️
I have a 30 year old IVF “baby” conceived on our second cycle, too. I remember that feeling of impending disaster, too. But once I could feel the baby moving regularly, I knew she was safe, and I could relax and enjoy the pregnancy from that point on. Hang in there. You’ll get there.
Congratulations to you I’m so so happy for you.
I’ve struggled with infertility
for four years with two losses finally got my BFP on February I couldn’t believe it I took like 21 or 22 pregnancy tests I was so nervous until I got my very first ultrasound at 6 weeks currently I’m 9 weeks pregnant praying for you and for all of us dir healthy pregnancy.
Congratulations!! Every single milestone is one to celebrate. You've got this mama! 💕
I was in denial for like the first trimester when i was pregnant and it was always and “if” or a “maybe” or a “hopefully.” So i totally feel what you’re saying. Praying for you to have peace of mind through the rest of your pregnancy!
Thank you Emily 🥹💕
I was literally shaking through my entire first ultrasound! It’s so hard to grasp that your little bean is real after going through so much (we also did two IVF cycles), but IT IS!! ❤ So happy for you.
It's OK to feel like you do especially after everything you've gone through but you're here and you will start to enjoy it.
I so teared up when you.showed the ultrasound picture and when you were talking to your mum at the end. So pleased for you both x
Thank you 💕 I think my brain is finally letting me start to enjoy it 🥹💕
I've just found your videos and I just love your energy. My husband and I have been struggling with infertility for almost 4 years, gone through IVF, had a blighted ovum (which you referred to seeing before in the video) and finally got a good HCG on Thursday. We are excited but so scared for our scan in two weeks. Congratulations and looking forward to continuing to follow your journey! ❤
Can totally relate to the feeling in the beginning of waiting for something to go wrong or other shoe to drop. Like holding your breath, that you don’t want to let yourself to fully enjoy it because if the what if. Especially when you don’t fully “feel pregnant”. Hearing that heart beat certainly helps. There is going to be a lot of new steps over the next 9 months. I’m feeling that same anxiety as I start the induction process for labor, which wasn’t how I hoped the end would go but I’m also excited to meet our little girl who we wouldn’t have if it weren’t for the fertility clinic help. Sending tons of love and support to you both. So excited for you!
Yes to all of this 💕 SO EXCITED for you and your little family Kristin!! You're so strong and you can totally do this, you've got this mama!! 💕
Your pure joy is just beautiful to watch!
Congratulations again!!!!
Thank you!!
I'm very happy for you guys u deserve the best...waiting on my first iui soon ,thanks for motivating us and helping us to stay positive
I'm so happy for you two. I'm glad that you was able to hear the heartbeat. And it's strong. Praying you feel better soon 🙏. God bless your family 🙏 Love you guys ♥️
Thank you Susan 🥹💕
Aw look at that little bean!!! 💕🥹 what an incredible feeling and I can’t wait to follow your whole pregnancy journey!! 💗
Thank you Mandy! ❤️❤️
So so happy for you both , congratulations, your mum is the sweetest , she was so anxious and then so happy and excited for you ❤ xx
Every woman feels the same way! It's a first time for everyone. Focus on the positive!
Thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable with how you are feeling through this journey. My husband and I have been trying for a year and 4 months. We’re going to a fertility doctor next month and I’m honestly terrified of what’s to come. I never imagined myself being in this position, struggling to get pregnant. When you were talking in the car and holding the ultrasound pictures, I started crying happy tears for you! I pray that happens to me some day. I want it so bad, and sometimes it’s hard to imagine that happening. I’m so happy for you and your growing family! ❤
Congrats guys! 🎉 Heartbeat is such a good sign. You can sigh a big sigh of relief now. 😅
I definitely did 😅💕
Iam so happy for both of you finally making your dream of becoming parents wish me luck on my journey with ivf which is my 3 ivf my first 2 I had a misscary which I pray to God that this time it will work for me wish you the best
vitamin b6 and unisom is literally a lifesaver! i am 35 weeks and im still taking it. i hope you feel so much better on it!
I'm so glad it gave you relief!! I feel lucky I didn't have to turn to it (yet lol) but I'm glad it's an option to keep in our back pocket!
I'm so happy for you guys Mac. I've been watching from the beginning. Love to see your journey. Fills my heart with hope that my day will come soon. ❤ I can't wait to see more of your updates. I sure wiah we could get more and more often 😅 lol
What a perfect little baby bean! Congratulations again and again!
Your feelings are so natural and make perfect sense, but I just know everything is going to work out for you and you'll have your perfect baby with you this year!
And you won't be far behind, friend!! This will work for both of us 💕💕
This is so wholesome 🥰. Congratulations guys! Been following since 2 weeks ago and I'm so excited for this journey. Your mom is so cute 😄 she's like a cheerleader for you guys. Can't wait for the families reaction. Blessings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷❤
Ultrasound days somehow manage to be so fun and so scary at the same time - waiting for the other shoe to drop is a good way of putting it! Even now as I am feeling our little IVF miracle kick my bladder I am nervous for the 20 week ultrasound!!! I'm sure I will feel this way until baby is in my arms and in some ways even after (Welcome to motherhood, right? Ours is the privilege of loving and worrying about these people for the rest of our lives!!) Congratulations again!! And may we take joy and comfort in the little victories 💜
yes to all of this! I will literally have everything factual on my side saying everything is fine, but still worry heading into ultrasounds 😅 I can't wait to feel the movements you're feeling now! Here's to happy and healthy little beans 💕💕
I’m so happy for you ❤ Your journey is giving me hope in mine. Thanks for sharing these vulnerable moments ❤ It’s gonna be great for you
If we can get here, you can absolutely get here too 💕 you've got this mama!
So excited for you!! I am currently laying on the couch which is the only thing helping with my nausea at 8 weeks (eating is meh, and I have food aversions to basically all foods except for when I crave something super specific qns can then eat a small portion of that. But no vomiting yet which is great as I borderline have emetophobia! But thankful for this experience!).
I can imagine with your HCG numbers you took a nose dive into feeling crappy, but as other commenters noted, it is kind of comforting (while simultaneously being very uncomfortable!). I hope you are on the other side though feeling amazing!
I am glad you are able to feel all your feelings so openly about the excitement and the anxiety and the frustrations. Your enjoyment of the special moments is still very evident but the other elements are also a very real and very understandable part of the process. I can emphasize with many of them.
Thank you for sharing Maureen! Isn't it crazy to be grateful for the nausea but feel horrible at the same time? 😅 I'm pretty much on the other side of it now so I'm hoping that's the case for you so soon! 💕💕
You are posting all your updates JUST before I experience them in my pregnancy. I have my first ultrasound tomorrow and am so nervous! So happy for you, and thank you for the preview into the things I will be experiencing. ❤
Sending all the positive thoughts for your ultrasound today!! 💕
Sending as much love, positivity and as many well wishes as humanly possible your way, and wish you the same joy my sister and brother-in-law had with their two beautiful miracles! Their daughter is 16 now, and their son is 14, and being their aunt has been the greatest gift of my life ❤
I am so happy for you both! Congratulations on your little bean 🥰🤍💕
Thank you 🥹💕💕
Hi 👋 there, you are amazing all your fears are so justified because all that you have been through. It is a very worrying time it is the same for newly pregnant women but I get why you are nervous sweetheart you are going to be fine I remember with my pregnancies how terrified I was that something was going to go wrong, I think I was more relaxed after I got past the 12 week mark but believe me it is completely normal to feel the way you are feeling, I am so happy for you both xxx 💗
I wanted to share too that I have not personally dealt with infertility and I m pregnant with my third child and my anxiety has been through the roof at times. I do think even without a history or any complications..it can be very stressful very challenging mentally and emotionally. I myself , protect myself from disappointment and don't feel like I should talk about my baby much or buy anything for a long time or make plans even though everything is going well. Also, I have felt sick like your described..disgusted all day and at night..sick feeling if I eat and if I don't eat and in between but no vomiting. Hoping for a reprieve from it soon as I approach 13 weeks. Just remember its a good sign they say
I can absolutely understand anxiety in pregnancy without a history of complications! Sending love and all the positive thoughts for a very healthy and boring pregnancy 😂💕💕
Unisom is a God send 😍 I'm now in my 2nd trimester and the nausea has gone away! I hope that happens for you too ❤️
I'm so glad it worked for you! Luckily I could get a handle on mine with food and peppermint candies lol but I think I'm finally rounding a corner 💕
This is how I felt with my daughter - I never struggled with infertility and she was an “oopsie” baby, I have also since experienced IVF and loss. I felt so worry stricken and terrified that something was wrong with her, and I felt the sa,e with each cycle and pregnancy since. Sending love!
Wow!!!! Ahhhh so exciting!!! Ahh those symptoms subside no worries.. the 2nd tri is gonna be smooth sailing ❤️❤️❤️ ahhhhhhh😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️please enjoy your pregnancy- don’t worry too much! It goes so fast..
Thank you love! They have subsided thank goodness lol I was convinced I'd feel nauseas for the rest of my days! 💕
Don't discredit the loss of disappointment. Of hope turning to disappointment. With my one live child I took pregnancy tests every other day, to once a week until I could feel him move. Then heavy bass beats and cold drinks turned into my pregnancy tests. Do whatever gives you peace. Congratulations y'all.
Congrats!!! I totally feel you with the nerves going into the appt! Sounds like you had such a nice ultrasound tech though ❤ can’t wait to see more content about what you’re experiencing!
Thank you Ali! She was the best ❤️
For our first ultrasound after a loss (and a whole year to get pregnant again) the tech turned the screen towards her and took like a whole 45 seconds to tell me the baby looked good. It was torture!! I’m glad your tech was so good. And we were at a fertility clinic too, like come on lady!!
that would make me so upset!! I'd probably annoy the crap out of her with questions until she agreed to turn the screen to me 😂💕
I started balling when you showed your mom!
💕💕💕
that's the cutest little bean I ever have seen 🤩🤩
That is one beautiful bean, Mama!!!! 🐣 So so so happy for you two. Good news all the way until birth, I feel it. Sending love 💕
Thank you 🥹💕
That anti nausea concoction is what I took 30 years ago when I was pregnant with our first baby after minor infertility issues. I was sick for 3 weeks- 24/7. I lost 26 lbs. I hope you can keep the nausea at bay with eating. If not, make sure you stay hydrated! Good luck!
Thank you Carmen! 💕
I am SO happy for you guys! This reminds me of watching my sister and her husband going through their infertility journey with all of the ups and downs - finding out they were pregnant and that I was going to be an aunt is one of my happiest memories ever, as is seeing ultrasounds etc.. My niece is now 16, and my nephew is 14, and they are the best thing to ever happen to their parents, to their aunt, and to their grandparents - just as your little bean will be when they finally come out to join you ❤
So happy and excited for you guys ! 🙏👏👏
This is such a pleasure to witness! Infinite blessings to you all!
So happy for you guys! Congratulations again.
Oh I'm so happy for you guys! I know exactly what that nausea feels like, having to constantly eat little bits. Hopefully it passes by about week 12 for you ❤
Happy to report I'm on the other side (for now lol) 💕 Thank you friend!
@@macdingle ah that's good news ❤️
I am so excited for you guys!
I’m in my ttw! I am 3dpo!
Sending all the love and baby dust your way Morgan! 💕
Huge congratulations to you both , what a journey you have both been on. Wishing you a fantastic safe free pregnancy. ❤👶🏻🇬🇧x
Thank you so much Carole! 💕💕
Congrats 🎉 so happy for you guys and thank you for sharing your journey with such honesty! I wish you a boring and healthy pregnancy.
This brought the biggest smile to my face 😊
I absolutely understand the “waiting for the other shoe to drop” anxiety. I have 3 boys and I’m 33 weeks pregnant with my daughter. We’ve battled infertility and loss since the very beginning. I lost 9 babies and my kids are quite spaced in age. I’ve had the most of the losses between my youngest son and this baby girl. I don’t think that feeling began to subside til after the anatomy scan. Honestly I still felt that way through week 32. As we get closer I have more of a sense of peace that it will work out.
I'm so sorry to hear of your losses Emily 💕 You fought so hard for your family and it shows. Here's to both of us holding our new healthy little miracles so soon 💕
@@macdingle Amen to that! I look forward to seeing pictures of your sweet little one.
Mission control "we have a bean"!!!! I'm so excited for you guys!
Everybody stay calm!! We have a bean! 💕💕
After trying to conceive for six years and having three miscarriages, hubby and I are starting IVF, and your video gives me so much hope. Thank you for sharing your story 😊
I'm so sorry to hear of your losses Greta 💕 But also so excited for your next steps!! This is going to be it for you mama! 💕
@@macdingle thank you 🙏🏼
look at that little shrimp!! how special of a moment to finally be able to see the fetus you have both wanted for so long❤congrats again!!
Thank you friend!! Shrimp sounds so much cuter than alien 😂💕
I couldn’t wait for this video 🎉
Thank you for being here! ❤️
@@macdingle it’s my pleasure I been praying for this moment for you guys love you both nothing but positive vibes and love coming your way 😌😊🥰
super excited for you both, i have really enjoyed watching your updates and i’m wishing you the most wonderful pregnancy experience. i definitely understood what you were describing in the beginning, even though i have not experienced infertility personally, i can relate to the emotional hurdles that come with such major life changes and the natural hesitancy to fully dive in with everything you’ve been through. i am currently 8 weeks with bubba #2 and in the hospital fighting another case of severe HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) had it with my first really bad so just wishing i could blink and be in the 3rd trimester. best wishes ❤
Sending you so much love and healing during this time, love! 💕💕
@@macdingle thank you so much 💕
Such exciting news!!! Not sure if it will help at all but all 3 of my pregnancies the best thing for my nausea was cinnamon or peppermint, either chewing gum or sucking on hard candies. Can't wait for more videos with all the info of baby growing
Little peppermint candies definitely eased it a bit! 💕💕
I swear by the b6 and unisom! Hearing you describe your first trimester gives me low key PTSD because my first trimester was so rough 😅 wishing you luck!!
Ahh I'm so excited for y'all!!!!! 😍😍😍
I found this SO relatable. I felt the same way. With my daughter I had high blood pressure At every doc visit because I was anxious and “waiting for the other shoe to drop” I think the check points are so helpful to help relieve anxiety. My son was a spontaneous pregnancy and there was hardly any monitoring, it felt so strange after going through an IVF pregnancy.
Same here 😂 my blood pressure wasn't of concern, but they did say it was high compared to my usual, and when they went to do the doppler, they couldn't get the babies heartbeat because it kept picking up mine instead because it was so high 😂💕
Having miscarried 4 months ago, I’ve also not really been feeling super excited about my pregnancy because it still very much feels like a possibility rather than a certainty. I don’t know when that feeling will change.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and the struggle you're facing now 💕 Everybody's emotions are so different and it's all valid. I'm here to tell you I think I'm finally rounding a corner nearing the end of the first trimester. You've got this mama 💕💕
Something that has helped me is the miscarriage reassurer - I check it nearly every single day haha datayze.com/miscarriage-reassurer. Sharing incase you find it helpful!
Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!! I'm currently waiting for my 8 week confirmation ultrasound! I'm a mess. 15 days to go and I'm having a hard time keeping it together. I'm testing every day and we're way past dye-stealers, but I just don't feel any symptoms - no nausea specifically. It's making me worried.
I totally know the worry, friend! My nausea started to subside between 7-8 weeks and it put me in a spiral! Just know symptoms come and go and that it's totally normal - our baby is healthy and yours will be too, I'm putting that energy out there 💕💕
I'm so happy for the both of you congratulations
So happy for you guys ☺️🙏💗 I'm turning 27 weeks on Thursday 🎉💙
Congratulations!! 💕
@@macdingle Thank you so much and it's my first baby boy after 5 girls 🎉💙 I'm still in shock 🤣💙🎉
Guys!!!!I am sooooo excited for ye!! I bet Boy!!!
