Month: July 2019

The challenges on a daily basis from infertility, then IVF and finally early pregnancy are like climbing a mountain 🏔 .
The struggles are real, the challenges we face on the way we question is it worth it… BUT once you have got to the top and are experiencing the views, all the hard times fade into the background!
.
Happy Friday everyone – keep climbing 🧗‍♀️ it will be worth it!

Tuesdays private 10 week scan ❤
There was an awful 30 second pause before the ultrasound technician found the heartbeat and we really feared the worst for a moment 🙈
But thankfully heartbeat was nice and strong and growth is on track (a couple of days ahead) we even saw him/her wiggling about ❤
We are now on yet another fortnight countdown to the next scan which is an NHS one at 12w2d
Still keeping everything crossed that he/she continues to stick around 🤞🤞

Jane is in dreamland having a bizarre dream of Harry Potter fighting the orange Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (is that Michelangelo?). She seems to be having a lot of these strange dreams lately and they are so much more vivid than usually.☁️🌙🌟⁣
⁣
I am fascinated by dreams! There is so much we don’t know about them.🧐 I even has some crazy hypothoses on what they actually are. Are dreams reality and “real life” an illusion? Who really knows? 🤪🙃🤓⁣
⁣
What kind of changes can you expect in your dreamworld during pregnancy? ⁣
⁣
You might:⁣
⁣
🌟Dream more frequently.⁣
🌟Get nightmares.⁣
🌟Have Anxiety ridden dreams.⁣
🌟Have more vivid and intense dreams.⁣
🌟Remember your dreams better.⁣
⁣
There are a few hypotheses on why we have pregnancy dreams:⁣
⁣
🧩Your emotional state is heightened during pregnancy and of course, your physical and mental states are very strongly connected. Your body is going through lots of changes and that, in turn, will impact your mind.⁣
⁣
🧩Another hypothesis is the increase in hormones. Oh, we blame all sorts of things on those pesky little hormones! But they do impact your anxiety and your emotions, so it kind of makes sense that they affect your dreams as well, right?⁣
⁣
🧩Your sleep can be disrupted in pregnancy due to discomfort, which means you’ll wake up more frequently. This will impact the stage of sleep when you dream (REM sleep), and you might just be remembering your dreams more often but not dreaming more than normal. It’s hard to say!⁣
⁣
If your dreams are bothersome, you can try dream journaling. Keep a paper and pen at the bedside and write down all your dreams! This might help to decrease the vividness and frequency of your dreams.📝⁣
⁣
It’s also totally normal if you don’t have weird dreams or any dreams at all. Everyone is different.❤️⁣
⁣
Did you have wild and weird pregnancy dreams? Nightmares? Please share all in the comments below! ⁣
⁣
Also, who do you think would win that fight? My money is on Michelangelo! Unless Harry has his wand in his back pocket 🤣🤪😂⁣

Advice anyone please? #earlypregnancy#pregnancy#pregnancyafterloss#misscarriage

I have a lot of appointments coming up and just want my boss to know why instead of continuing to make excuses… .
Have questioned myself so many times? It feels like I have known forever as well and kept this from work for over 4 months now! .
Wish me luck 🙏

Follow @mymindbodybaby for excellent evidence based tips for fertility and pregnancy. They shared some of my information on coffee and fertility here…love their Instagram purpose and page!
Caffeine is safe and helpful for fertility if no more than 150mg (1-2 cups/day) is consumed but more than this increases the risk of miscarriages. Choose organic coffee to limit your pesticide exposure. Pesticides can impair egg and sperm quality.

The early weeks of pregnancy are scary – especially following infertility. Do you know the caffeine guidelines during pregnancy? Check out our Facebook page for mg recommendations from @drtanyawylde_nd.
