You're not alone.
For people trying to get pregnant, Mother’s Day can be an incredibly difficult day. From the lead up with card companies promoting the day to advertisements with mothers and children bonding over the day.
However, if your fertility anxiety feels overwhelming and is interfering with your day-to-day life, it’s time to seek professional support from your GP, therapist or fertility specialist.Chistiansen urges those who struggle with infertility to try to make the day their own saying: “the golden rule on Mother’s Day, and every day when you’re trying to get pregnant, is to be kind to yourself. Don’t beat yourself up or feel guilty if you find the day difficult.
If you do feel that being around people may help, Christiansen advises spending time with friends or family who will respect your wishes to not talk about your fertility, or curling up on the sofa and watching a film. She said that knowing you have these responses on hand will help to calm anxieties in the lead-up to the day becaue you’ll feel prepared and able to nip these pesky questions in the bud.“Today isn’t about me. Can we focus on celebrating our mums instead?”“I love that you’re interested in my life, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about my family plans just yet.
