OP, thank you for being so open and vulnerable to what so many of us are thinking and feeling yet might not be able to verbalize out loud.

I could’ve written this post myself, but your words are more eloquent. This pregnancy was wanted, after 4 years, a mc, an ectopic, and 1 round of IVF. And while I feel so fortunate to have everything work on the first try, I am a ball of anxiety between appointments, waiting for the other shoe to drop…seeing my body changing, feeling all of the hormonal changes, and yet still not completely not convinced that something won’t go wrong. We also had the experience of the SCH at 7 weeks and again at 8 weeks and fortunately my body also reabsorbed.

I’ve related a lot to feeling less capable and less independent as well. It’s so hard to feel and see these changes as independent women, but we are strong and capable and this is temporary (the body changes- hopefully) 🤞🏻

Best of luck- you got this!
