[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I had all the emotions. Happy, joyful, excited, anxious, fear- all at once.

I definitely envied the women who were blissfully happy and seemingly unaware of any potential bad outcome, but that was never going to be me.

I look back now with fondness of my children’s pregnancies; they all love to hear stories of what I was doing and what they were like in the womb. And they are all intensely interested in their birth stories.[/quote]

This resonates with me. I knew the pregnancies were precious and things could go wrong. I also really enjoyed being pregnant - it was amazing to know there was a baby growing in there after this long journey. I was anxious but also very happy if that makes sense. I had some minor issues during pregnancy that kept me on my toes and a NICU baby. Feeling like "am I out of the woods yet" goes on for a long time. But I loved my maternity leaves and the infant stage. I would say the infertility, miscarriage etc journey/history is part of you and never goes away but it did not overwhelm everything all the time. I look back on the pregnancy and baby stages (now in the past for me) in a very positive way. [/quote]
