After a long journey we finally conceived through ivf and im so grateful. But i keep wondering if i need to be extra careful or if it goes same as a normal pregnancy. Anyone here had an ivf baby? would love to hear how it went for u.
Once the pregnancy is established, it is just like any other beautiful blessing. Keep your mind peaceful, pray daily, and don't worry—the baby will grow beautifully just like a natural pregnancy.
I totally understand how precious this pregnancy is to you after everything you've been through. Please know that your baby is growing just like any other baby, surrounded by all your love. You are doing amazing!
Medically, once the embryo implants, the pregnancy progresses the exact same way. My pregnancy tracker app showed the same weekly milestones for both IVF and natural pregnancies!
There is no big difference in the pregnancy itself, though you might have more scans initially. My mother said to just rest well, and we followed all the extra precautions our doctor suggested.
Trust me, the morning sickness, backaches, and sleepless nights are exactly the same! The only difference is the long journey it took to get there. Once the baby is inside, the struggle is totally identical!
Since it was my first pregnancy through IVF, I felt so much extra anxiety about every little symptom. But physically, it felt exactly like what my friends described for their normal pregnancies.
I am in my second trimester now and sometimes I still feel nervous because it was an IVF conception. Do other IVF moms also feel extra protective and worried about their babies compared to normal pregnancies?
