When did you get yours?

Anyone doing a FET late Jan? Looking for transfer buddies!

Has anyone ever given their baby up for adoption? If so what was your experience like? I gave birth to my babygirl at 2am and now I’m in the process of talking to an adoption agency. If my situation was better I would definitely be keeping her but unfortunately that’s not the case. I really just wanna do what’s be...

Or leave any suggestions on activities to do to pass the time :)

Hi guys can anyone help me out so I’ve had to come out of work due to my second pregnancy being really painful and complicated so it was my only option until I was ready to go back after I’ve had the baby. I won’t get maternity pay as I wasn’t working long enough. Anyway cut the story short my little boy turned 2 on...

Looking for tips as I am due my first ever transfer in 3-4 weeks time. Any and all suggestions welcome, what will make the biggest difference? What do I need to avoid doing, eating etc

Truly what do you think the perfect number of children is? I have 2 young boys and debating a third, would like a daughter but would equally be happy and grateful regardless. I understand it depends on other factors like finance, housing etc. But does the feeling of wanting another baby ever go away?

If you have more than 1 child what was harder

😫 even the family u don’t like but have to get along

We currently are satisfied with our 2 kids, a girl and a boy. But both of us are in the fence for a 3rd. Both of us came from a family of 5 (3 kids) and would just feel complete as a family of 5. On the other hand, we are already blessed with 2 healthy kids with no real good reason for a 3rd. Originally we agreed ...

I am planning to travel with baby abroad without my husband. Could you advise how to get a consent form and if needs to be signed in front of or by a notary/solicitor and by my husband? Any idea of the cost of this? Thank you

Just a bit of rant... I find if much easier without my baby's father. I can manage the house and baby but with him I'm running around doing everything even though he helps with baby. It's so much easier to take care of it all alone. Probably sounds super harsh but we definitely are not a team and I've no interest be...

I’m tired of culture blaming kids, telling us kids are universally a burden, not worth it, dream killers. Kids don’t have any choice. They’re born helpless and completely innocent. You’re not overwhelmed bc of your kid, you’re overwhelmed bc your mama heart needs better support from other adults ❤️🥲

Who do you trust most to watch your child when you need to step away? Is it family, friends, or a professional caregiver? Share your thoughts and experiences!

I know the perfect answer will be whenever I’m ready lol but the ones who have more than one what has been your experiences ? I think I’m a little scared and mine is almost 2

I was wondering if any single parent wanted to have 2 under 2, and if so, was it hard?

Can anyone be godparents or do the people you choose how to be christened?

Never gave it a second thought before I had a baby but is anyone else noticing just how many people park in parent spaces without a child? I just wouldn’t dream of doing that if I didn’t have my child in the car.

Parenting is hard but can be fun and so rewarding. What do you think?

3 weeks and 1 day until egg retrieval (if everything goes to plan). Will be a 5 day fresh transfer which falls on my Mam's birthday! I feel like this is a good sign 🤞🏻 it's my first round but I'm staying super positive about it ✨
