Being able to conceive and experience motherhood is considered a woman's superpower. But for women who have waited for long to conceive and have gone through the pain of various treatments, finally being able to carry the new life in their womb makes the experience even more special. Thanks to the development of science and the IVF procedure.

An IVF treatment is considered successful when you discover yourself to be pregnant. We understand that the feeling of excitement and happiness will be followed by emotions of anxiety about what may happen next.

The fear of having any mishap is normal, but you need to be kind to yourself, look after your health and enjoy every phase of pregnancy because you have battled a lot to reach this phase.

What happens after getting pregnant through IVF?

Unless there are any specific medical concerns, your pregnancy should proceed normally. Specialized doctors and the medical team at Atharva Infertility Center will closely monitor your condition and pregnancy progress.

During the first 3-months of your pregnancy, your emphasis should be on taking care of yourself and the baby growing inside you.

Developing healthy habits is important, like eating healthily, drinking enough water, and
avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and smoking, all of which can have a negative impact on a
baby’s growth.
Pay attention to your body. Any pregnancy’s first trimester can feel draining as your body
adjusts to pregnancy hormones. Take the time to rest if you feel exhausted.
Although you must not experience any spotting or bleeding, minor spotting is sometimes normal
in the early stage of pregnancy. Don’t worry. Your body is getting adapted to the growing embryo.
If you observe abnormal bleeding, connect with the specialist at Atharva Infertility Center.

As the pregnancy grows, your doctor will schedule follow-up visits and prescribe medications to help you manage a healthy pregnancy.

Being an artificial technique, IVF calls for great attention, particularly regarding diet. The best pregnancy diet for women after the IVF procedure must include a healthy meal and snacks filled with colorful fruits, veggies, oatmeal, low-fat milk, yogurt, curd, salad, rice, and whole wheat roti. Eating at regular intervals is essential for pregnant women, and mid-meal snacks can include fruits, nuts, smoothies, etc.

After the stressful IVF process, a woman might experience mood swings and other issues.
So, keep the mind calm and make the journey smooth, try:

Meditation and yoga regularly
Go for a walk to lift your mood as well as digest your food
Avoid stressing
Eat healthily and at regular intervals
Keep a close check on your medication
Include food-rich in folic acid in the diet to reduce the risk of heart or neural tube defect in the foetus

Staying positive and relaxed is most important in managing stress and anxiety during pregnancy. It's a time that you should cherish.
