So pregnancy for the infertile woman is fraught. That little blue line has been the goal for so long that the overwhelming feeling is relief - rather than joy. Then fear - lots of fear...
Fear of blood on toilet paper...
Fear that little cramp isn't ligament pain...
Fear of no heartbeat on the scan...
Fear of abnormalities at 20 week scan...
Fear of fewer movements than normal...
Fear of birth complications...
Whereas fertile women complain of cramps, sleeplessness, nausea, headaches; infertile women keep their mouths shut for fear that any ingratitude will be noted and punished.
Then the baby arrives and he is perfect......we ARE blessed and continue to be so.
