I had my baby 2 weeks ago and I still haven't filled out the birth registration paperwork. The reason for this is that my baby's father started to become very obsessive, jealous and controlling since bub was born. He follows me everywhere, doesn't acknowledge the baby, stares at people until they're uncomfortable...

My LBs nursery are amazing. They have been fab since day one. But given the recent incidents with the EDL, I'm really anxious about sending him in tomorrow. He's the only non- white toddler there, bar one black child. I read today a childminder posted that all immigrants should be sent back and burned alive. I know ...

I’m 37 weeks today and so I’ve tried to collect some colostrum but I’ve had no luck! Does anyone have any tips? Were you successful the first time or did it take a few attempts?

Does anyone have any positive first time sweep stories? Booked to have my first one at 39+6 days. Anyone who had success first time how far gone were you etc?

I’ve had three beautiful girls and I’m older and I never had a son. I can’t physically have kids anymore. We have money, What’s the best way to adopt? Giving my son the best, healthy life possible is my ultimate dream!!

What are you sending out to the family for guidelines and boundaries? So far I’ve heard washing hands, TDAP booster, no kissing baby When are you allowing visitors?

Currently have two babies and don’t feel safe to go out with these riots. Seeing a video of a mother walking with her daughter and her daughter is chanting “get the p***** out” makes me fearful of the world I’ve bought my children into. How parents are teaching this to their children frightens me. My friend took her...

So I’ll be having my 3rd little girl in a few months (Nov. 8th) and I have an 11 year old and a 1 year old. I really want my husband in the delivery room with me but we may have no one to watch our daughters. I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to allow the baby and my 11 year old in the room with me. But I plan to as...

Please share what you ate and drank in the lead up to your transfer? Things I should avoid other than caffeine and alcohol, I generally eat healthy! TIA

Hi all, I had my egg collection a week ago and haven't had any bleed or anything since. We are doing a FET due to Ohss, but haven't had withdrawal bleed yet either. So just wondering what other people's time line was like?

I don’t feel like I can trust their judgement or them around my baby. It takes a village but what if you don’t trust the people in your village?

Just wondering how people dealt with other people crossing boundaries. Already when i’m only 25 weeks I’ve started to annoy people because of the boundaries I’m setting. Some of them not even crazy. My dad and nan have completely ruffled my feathers. So a few times they’ve said things like “our babies” or “my bab...

Got the call from the clinic. First beta is 611 💫💫 Beta 2 is tomorrow. I need it go ⬆️ 🆙

My FET is going to be in 8 days... This morning I saw this before I put on my estrogen patches... I wanted to share with all of you and spread joy and baby dust and whatever else you need during this difficult time. 🌈☀️🍀💞😊

I'm having family problems but can't find an active 'family problem' group to post in so hoping you lot can help. It might be a long one but I need some help! I have two beautiful children who are cared for loved and spoilt, I'm only 20 not that age matters. Ever since I had my eldest in 2022 my family have done not...

Got a positive this morning! I can barely see it live, definitely not in photo & my husband can't at all 😂. So excited and nervous because we transferred 2. How are you guys feeling?

Have you taken stims for a FET protocol? Was your transfer successful?

Anyone regret putting their child’s dad on the birth certificate/giving their child(ren) his last name? I’m literally only putting my bd on the certificate to 1. Keep the peace 2. God forbid something were to happen to me, I wouldn’t want my child to be classed as an orphan and 3. Maybe he will actually step up and...

Hi girlies! Going pram shopping today and I’ve been sick all week so haven’t done my usual prep 😅 does anyone have the bugaboo fox 5? If so, what’s it like?

Hello My partner decided to leave - just before I gave birth, he had been cheating and seeing several other women and had secret children. I still wanted him to be in our child’s life, regardless of what he did to me. He saw her about 5 times after she was born, then just stopped. I have been raising her alone s...
