How to maintain a pregnancy after IVF A woman came to me after successful IVF and with the fear that she could not carry the child to term. The period of infertility was 14 years. At first she couldn’t believe that she was still pregnant, now she’s afraid that she won’t be able to bear the child. I asked her to draw this child and herself, she drew 2 separate circles. After IVF, the child has already joined the mother, and in the picture, internally, the woman separates herself from him. And this very much resonates with the topic of her request, “I’m afraid I won’t carry the child.” I did not look into the reasons for this situation, since the dynamics that appeared could be dangerous for her in this state. I asked the woman to draw another drawing: Nina: It was like this before pregnancy, now you are already with a child. Let's draw them together, because the child is already inside you Client: Oh, really, how did I draw it like that? Nina: If you wanted to convey love to your child, how would you draw it? (the client fills the circles with color). Let's add the child's father to this drawing, draw how you feel. Client: He cares about me very much, he is so calm, I would draw him in green. Nina: How do you feel when you look on your drawing? Client: I feel calm and good, it seems to me that everything will be fine!!!
