When I saw that person's reaction, I wanted to shout at her because her journey is not yours, and she should know how hard it has been for you. I am very pleased there will be a little baby Olive in your future. :)Lisa-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135752484387782593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242841918662376063.post-42828326151950272622014-04-10T11:06:08.841+01:002014-04-10T11:06:08.841+01:00Oh!

There is even research indicating that no nausea could also mean that your nutrients levels are near optimum and is not (always) indicative that something is going wrong. <br />I honestly think we are all unique and our reactions to hormones are all different, some feel barely anything, others feel very very sick, for some it's mostly tiredness, for others it is a trainwreck. I was relieved to read the correlation was not that linear, as during those first weeks I was freaking out at the almost lack of nausea. <br />Hugs to you. Enjoy every second of this precious in between time . We are so full of happiness for you.

I cried with joy when I saw your news, I get a little smile of happiness every time you mention you're feeling ill on Twitter - not because you're ill, but because of the reason for it. You've looked forward to this for so long! <br /><br />No one should have made you feel bad for feeling happy. I know it's often easy to hurt others when you're hurting, but it doesn't make it right. I hope it doesn't get you down. You should never feel guilty for it, either.<br /><br />I know you wrote on a post a while ago about how sad it makes you that you couldn't do the big reveal in the same way as others have, and that perhaps people won't react as surprised and happily as they do in those instances. I wanted to tell you at the time, but thought it wasn't appropriate at the time - I was overjoyed at hearing your news, purely because you've been so generous in sharing your journey with us. I was at my parents at the time, eating breakfast, and had to tell my mother why I'd just exclaimed in surprise and teared up. She was pretty darned happy for you too. <br /><br />Anyway, I hope you and Nik enjoy this time together. You are right, you deserve it as much as anyone. Have a wonderful rest of the holiday.

And it's tough. I have told no one. And pregnancy and babies are everywhere.<br />BUT - I shrieked with joy when I saw your Mother's Day post - I have followed your journey through IVF and appreciated your honesty through all the hard parts, the setbacks, the disappointment. To see the happy news was just awesome - hope-fillingly awesome. <br />My sadness does not mean I cannot appreciate someone else's joy. So enjoy it, revel in it and allow those daydreams - you've waited a long time and I'm so so happy for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3242841918662376063.post-60920812869318141932014-04-10T08:49:18.991+01:002014-04-10T08:49:18.991+01:00I'm really sorry that you were made to feel th...I'm really sorry that you were made to feel the way you were and please don't feel that you can't be happy & excited about this. <br /><br />I have to admit I had to take a deep breath to read this post (I'm sure you have been there so many times before) but I choose to read it and will continue to read all about your journey no matter what heartache I am going through because it gives me so much hope. Hope for you & Nik and hope for me for the future. I'm still to get that positive test but I'm living through you until I do!! <br /><br />Thanks for the mention:) I hope the sickness passes quickly.

So, not that different from normal life then...<br /><br />I hope you're able to put any negative reactions behind you. As you know better than anyone, they come from a place of sadness, anger (at the world, not really you) and bitterness, and you have every right to share your happiness here. Hopefully those affected will be able to follow your advice and spare themselves any further pain by not reading for a while.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your holiday - sounds like you are taking very good care of that wee embryo. Don't feel bad about napping, that's what holidays (and pregnancy) are all about!

Our lives are not all in sync and therefore we should not begrudge anyone joy and happiness just because it's not happening to us at a particular point in time. <br />I have really enjoyed reading your blog and I was so happy to hear your good news. Don't feel bad about complaining, the sickness and exhaustion is difficult, it's not being ungrateful, it's being honest! x Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
