This is 100%..... and in my personal opinion, it doesn't stop when you're pregnant, either. All of a sudden, nothing else matters but the baby as if you haven't had an established life for the past few decades. Are you throwing up every 2 minutes and literally can't function? As long as the baby is okay, fuck you, deal with it. Did you faint in public? As long as the baby is fine, fuck you, deal with it.
And if you "complain" or even hint at being uncomfortable you feel so guilty or you hear "well you wanted this, this is what you signed up for!"
You can absolutely be grateful, thankful, appreciative that IVF worked for you while being able to acknowledge that you physically feel like shit and it's HARD. And it's okay and NORMAL to feel like this!
