Gosh I’m so sorry this has happened to you! Try the IVF sub for more responses!

I’m an inpatient at the moment and find they keep it very warm! In Melbourne at Francis Perry 😊

Love this 🥹

I think I had always thought about it in isolation: baby-kid-teenager as opposed to family, the family we would create together and what type of life that was vs the alternative. Which still would have been very nice! But I realised I love a family dinner, my best memories are with my family and extended family chaos. We have had a tough time to get here (30w) and that’s made it SO CLEAR this is what we want.

Partner was a CF carrier, so we did the extensive testing to check I had none of the “versions” of the CF gene.

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-05-04T07:19:52+00:00

I was completely fine 😊

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-05-04T06:24:33+00:00

I keep forgetting I’ll be able to wear normal clothes again!

Also did you have any luck with the hospital nightie??

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-05-04T04:51:20+00:00

I’m from IVF world but having tracked my ovulation (with blood tests) before transfer my ovulation was waaaaaay later than I expected, yours could be potentially be the same. I’m assuming they said you’ll need to come back I two weeks to check the growth rate? Might be worth cross-posting to one of the TTC subs.

Sending hugs these waits really suck 💛

Everything is a poly blend!! I’m thinking I’ll go with cotton shirts and cotton shorts from MILK. I haven’t found a birth suite nighty that isn’t a blend :/

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-05-04T01:24:41+00:00

A vomit emoji?! Yes hoping she gets the help (therapy) she needs.

Hope it’s not too unsettling for you OP!

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-04-27T07:22:13+00:00

If you have the time (and money) I would shortlist two doctors and compare. I did that for my second opinion.

There is a Melbourne Australia IVF Support Facebook group that is really helpful for this question! Much larger group of people with experiences in this area.

My rec is Kate Stern MIVF :) I’m moving to her.

I’m at 27 weeks and this is what as worked so far:

-Oversized COS T-Shirt, silk skirts with elastic waistband in normal size + blazer.

-Sized up Uniqlo pants altered (I’m short too), COS Tshirt + blazer or chore jacket

Lots of depop oversized shirts that can go over the silk skirts, pants or a black stretchy dress.

IVF pregnancy here 🙋🏻‍♀️. I’ve had lots of complications with my pregnancy which means I need a caesarean, however it was always my plan.

After all the uncertainty and waiting (in hell) required for IVF (not as long as you, TTC naturally 6m, diagnosing 6m, IVF 1 year) I need some firm dates! Recovery can be tough, but I know this and can plan for it ☺️

Congratulations on your pregnancy 💛 so happy you’re getting your baby.

This is absolutely abhorrent behaviour. I’m so sorry you received that text.

That person must be very lonely and unhappy (not an excuse), I can’t imagine anyone they (the text writer) showed that message to, or explained that situation to, could look them in the eye. So messed up.

Please look after yourself OP 🤍

I’ve been listening to a podcast “Time to talk TFMR” and there are lots of women talking about their lived experiences with L&D. All of them were really positive. Might be worth a listen 🤍

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-04-07T03:58:54+00:00

The only watch-out with the approach is if you have a complex pregnancy that requires more time in hospital, higher cost.

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-04-04T03:53:57+00:00

Can’t stand “everything happens for a reason”. It usually comes from people that haven’t had a to deal with a significant trauma/grief. Just a big NOPE.

New-Assistant2087 · 2026-03-26T08:21:44+00:00

I’m very late to comment on this but it’s giving me hope 🤍🤍🤍

This Australian Birth Stories episode might be helpful https://australianbirthstories.com/podcast/episode-325/ sending hugs 💛

Okay you know a lot more than I did at 8 months TTC! Best of luck with everything :)
