Alana,
I know what you mean about worrying about the baby and not fully enjoying pregnancy. I really do feel it is different for a woman who has had difficulty conceiving, IF treatment, etc. I think I am enjoying it to a degree, but with twins and the higher risk, I do find myself worrying and holding back from believing this will really work out with two healthy babies at the end of it all. For me I see it as my last and only chance after the treatment. I spoke to another pregnant woman a few weeks ago and she mentioned being worried until she passed week 24, apparently a key week in baby development, which I did not know, so really once we make it past one hurdle there's another. I will be immeasureably relieved to have these healthy babies....sure I'll be in shock but then it can begin for us all. Hang in there, you're not alone!!
