Ep. 29 - The fear of losing control: Pregnancy after a long fertility journey
Manage episode 499970376 series 3667336
Pregnancy after a long and challenging fertility journey can feel like a dream come true… until the fear shows up. The fear that your body might betray you, that complications might arise, or that after years of trying, it could all slip away.
In this episode of What the F – From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace, I share my own experience carrying my son after IVF and the anxiety that came with finally achieving pregnancy. We explore why this fear is so common, the emotional baggage that infertility leaves behind, and why letting go of control feels impossible yet necessary.
I’ll guide you through:
- Understanding the emotional weight infertility leaves behind and why it lingers even after pregnancy
- Why the urge to control everything is so strong—and how to release it
- The fear of loss and how to navigate it without letting anxiety take over
- A simple NLP visualisation tool to help you nurture your pregnancy with trust and calm
If you’ve been pregnant after infertility and feel torn between joy and fear, this episode is for you.
Learn how to trust your body, rewire your thoughts, and embrace this miraculous journey with self-kindness and confidence.
