Pregnancy after fertility treatment
If you’ve suffered months, even
years of infertility, finding out you’re pregnant will be a very special moment
– but not without its concerns.
You may be an older mom, or pregnant with twins
or multiples – either way, you’ll be monitored very closely during your
pregnancy. Plenty of women go on to have successful pregnancies and healthy
babies following fertility treatment, so there is no need for you to place
extra worry on yourself about your baby’s wellbeing. After all the stress of
trying to conceive, its now time to let your body take over and try to relax as
much as possible.
You can help your baby staying
healthy, eating well, and keeping your stress levels low. Now is the time to
indulge in that massage you’ve been planning, or to do some gentle
exercise like
swimming – and above all, to enjoy feeling your growing baby somersaulting
inside you. See our guide to a healthy diet during pregnancy for help on eating well.
Now you’re pregnant stage, it
might be time to meet other women who are experiencing pregnancy after a
fertility treatment. Why not post a message on to our chat
forum, or form a group of moms who have been through similar experiences as you?
