Sambhavna Seth on reconsidering having a baby, says IVF journey affected her on mental & emotional levels

Needless to say, Sambhavna Seth is one of the most successful YouTube vloggers of the recent times. The actress enjoys a massive fan following on her social media platforms and is seen giving insights into her life to her viewers. Well recently, Sambhavna along with her husband Avinash got into an exclusive conversation with India Forums where the actress spilled some beans on her IVF journey, the side effects and a lot more.

We asked Sambhavna if her IVF journey has taken a toll on her emotionally and how has she been dealing with everything. The actress broke down as she went ahead to answer this question. Sambhavna said, ''After my last IVF procedure, one fine day when I woke up, I suddenly realized that I was having difficulty walking. My legs were swollen and I was unable to move my hands too. I was scared and I immediately remembered being diagnosed with Arthritis 15 years back. However, at that point in time, I was young and I fought it, it never returned. But after IVF, that problem was somehow triggered again. You know, when you have to take 20 injections, you don't know how your body is going to react to it. Never in my dreams did I think of being diagnosed with RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) again.

She added,  "I remember seeing my doctor one day and on my way back home, while I was vlogging I broke down. I thought, how many more medicines will I take? I have suddenly gained 9 kgs, from 67 kgs I've reached 75 kgs. Many a times, I can't say all of these even to Avinash about why I'm not fitting in my clothes".

She further added, ''I think only a woman can understand this. It is not about work, I am anyway not getting anything. But on the personal front, you go through so much. My weight issues and my IVF journey has affected me on a mental and emotional level. I really take care of my diet and I am very consistent about my workouts too. However, even after taking care of my body so much, I have been gaining weight. And on top of all this, I sit with a bundle of medicines every day. These medicines too have so many side effects. Sometimes, I am left wondering if this is really what I want in life. If having a child at the cost of going through so much is that important.''

We asked Sambhavna if going through so much physically, mentally and emotionally has made her reconsider the decision of embracing motherhood and the actress said, ''Now that the IVF process is over and my health has constantly been deteriorating, sometimes, I and Avinash sit back and talk about this and think to ourselves if having a child at the cost of my health is really that important? If physically I am only unwell, how will I take care of my child.''

''I think only a woman can understand this. It is not about work, I am anyway not getting anything. But on the personal front, you go through so much.
