I'm currently going through a phase where it doesn't quite seem real. The pregnancy that is. I'm sure this a perfectly natural phase and just one of many I will go though hopefully over the next 8 months. I don't know if it will really start to seem real until we have the first ultrasound in a couple of weeks, which will hopefully show the healthy heartbeat of one or two babies. I think that actually seeing it up on a screen will really help it sink in. It will also be another hurdle crossed in helping us get closer to a healthy baby at the end of it all. Something that I am terribly frightened will not happen.
I will also be having another blood test on Monday to make sure my hormones are acting in a way that will sustain this pregnancy.I'm not sure if this is because I've achieved the pregnancy with the assistance of IVF or if all normal pregnancies (here in Australia at least) follow up the initial positive blood test with another a week later. I do know however that I would rather be over monitored than under monitored, particularly if things start to head in a negative direction.
What started out as another blog about pregnancy after infertility, became a story about the joys, worries, wonder and laughter created by our beautiful daughter Isabella and precious son Lucas.
