Why you should let yourself feel hopeful during the two-week-wait and early pregnancy.

I'm often asked whether you should be hopeful or hesitant during early pregnancy or the two-week-wait. Women often question whether they might be making the hurt WORSE by letting themselves feel hopeful.

Today I share my experiences with loss and why you SHOULD still feel hopeful. Sending you love and hope.

This is amazing thank you! 🙌🏼
My husband and I have been trying for a year we’re young and tests are all normal so every month when I have negative tests and my period comes it made me feel so small and weak.

This month I’ve got a new mentality on TTC and I’m trusting it will happen! I’m sticking with the mantra “if you believe it won’t happen, it won’t happen”. My husband is more guarded and is still hesitant to get excited but I’m just focusing on myself and allowing myself to get excited for this journey! ❤️✨🙌🏼

Baby dust to everyone ❤️✨🙌🏼

I went through my second miscarriage last month and despite being heartbroken about the loss I do feel hopeful. Thanks for your words, felt good to hear.

I needed this!! 😭

After experiencing 2 chemical pregnancies and now currently in my TWW, I was seriously asking myself if I should even be excited if I get a positive test. Thank you for sharing, you got me crying over here 😭

I am in the two week wait and this is what I needed!

Thank​ you​ so much for sharing your experiences. I haven't​ allowed myself to hope because of my age, severe endometriosis, ovarian cysts, etc. And now I haven't​ felt the connection with the embryo​ that was transferred into my uterus 9 days ago. Even though all I wanted was to have a baby and for this (my first IVF treatment)​ to work. Watching your video made me feel that I should​n't​ miss this exciting moment and maybe I'll start connect​ing with my embryo and give it a little more hope, have a little more appreciation to the hopefully implanted and growing little embryo. Thank​ you!

I think most women can relate to you especially holding back protecting your heart from the disappointment that might occur. Similarly seeing a positive LH and even feeling pregnancy symptoms to b followed by a period month and month creates so much anxiety. You become scared of hoping. My focus was only on which foods to eat and what not to eat I forgot to connect with my body. Thank you

[tinabaptiste]

Thank you!! This is really going to help me. I am going through my second IVF procedure next week. The first one was not successful, so I have struggled with feeling hopeful and giving myself grace. I have never had a positive test. I am claiming that this will be my month! my year! my baby! I have been watching your videos and trying to do my yoga practice in the morning before work. Thank you for your kind words!

I've been having this debate with myself for months, and this just makes *sense*. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and strength in sharing 💙

[raechelewhite]

I didn’t even realize I needed this, but I did. Thank you for validating the feeling of longing for a baby and being in the tww over and over again. It is a different kind of suffering, but it’s still painful. I really appreciate how you understand. And yes, you have helped more than just one person, I’m sure, and you have definitely helped me. I’ve been doing your yoga videos almost every day for months!

[sreemoyeebasu]

This feels like you read my mind and are speaking directly to me. Thank you so much!

[mikeypowell]

This is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much for this and for being so open about your story; it has helped me feel less alone since my miscarriage. I think I'll be adding this to my daily listening for a while.

I have gotten so much from your videos so far. I really appreciate you being vulnerable about having some spotting. I'm 13w and a few days and had light spotting last night, calling the OB tomorrow. The anxiety is so real, and I am just trying not to expect the worst. This practice really helped today.

Thank you so much Bettina. Your videos are helping me so much on this journey <3

[lacey_jordan]

Thank you so much for your guidance. I started following you after 6 months of trying and struggling. At ten months of trying we were blessed with a positive result however at six weeks we lost our baby. Having your channel while I navigate through all these stages and emotions has truly been such a gift. I don’t know how I would have done this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

[thekundalinicoach]

thank you SO much this is excellent - so helpful.

[mayela]

Thanks again Bettina for this video. I just got my period after an embryo transfert and a whole process about 2 months long, I choose hope (without over exitement) and even tho I feel like sxxt right now, at least i lived 10 happy days (tww in ivf are shorter), so well...i guess that is the wisest choice. The thing is that stress wold not for sure have made things better. Bisous 😘

[shiranshveka]

Thank you, it is exactly what I needed to hear today. Your guidance is a major part of my journey in the last couple of months. Two weeks ago I went through our first round of egg collection and transfer. My TWW were full of ups and downs. One day hopeful and the next day I got scared that I wish too much and turned all hesitant. A battle in my mind about how I want to feel about the whole thing, which approach to take? Last night my HCG test results came back negative. I feel sad, this video is a good reminder to go back to work, filling my heart with positive thinking and hopeful feelings. Going back on my journey with the feeling that IT WILL WORK. Thank you, for all your work.

[Lilfishies]

Thank you. I needed that today. Glad I found your channel.

[zoelove]

Thank you for sharing your story . I can learn, and I can get into a better peace, I can get pregnant and soon can meet my baby too.🙏

[brendabenitez]

Wow this is exact what I’m going through on my third pregnancy’s. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I’m taking a break now after 3 losses. I feel so discouraged, anxious and worried to keep trying and tired
