Congratulations Emma and very well done, that’s so wonderful :)

As a fellow Jew and fellow IVF warrior, everything you say resonates so exactly. Our son was the result of our 3rd IVF attempt. My husband isn’t Jewish and has two children from his first marriage - when we told them I was pregnant, they went and bought the baby a present. I had a complete meltdown. It was too soon, too early, I hadn’t even bought anything yet! I know they meant well…

I then did not , like you, unpack anything till right at the very end. When I allowed myself to buy the first babygrow, well into the third trimester, I burst out crying in the shop - and still didn’t take it out of the bag when I got home….

So happy for you x

Congratulations Emma. Everything you say echoes. There is so much unknown with an ivf pregnancy and caution, but always hope. I don’t think I will ever relax into it. Take care and thank you for sharing your thoughts. And much love to everyone reading who is still struggling through infertility. X
