Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience of having 2 children with no help from family or friends? My lo is 16 months now and I would love to start trying for another baby. The only thing holding us back is that we haven't had any support from family with our lo, and even with just one it has been very dif...

Hi! I just wanted everyone’s thoughts on visitors. My MIL has stated that she wants to wait in the hospital car park whilst I give birth so she can meet the baby as soon as they are born.

I want to get my baby Christened. It’s important to me and my husband is very understanding of this, even though he doesn’t have a faith. However, we don’t have family and tbh I don’t have any friends I’d want to ask to be Godparents - they never asked how I got on or took an interest during my pregnancy… they’ve ...

I don’t mean regretting that child, I just mean all the things that come with having 3 children. Less attention and time spent with first 2 children, lack of sleep and time for self care, lack of money, need for bigger everything….

Just curious to the first time mums in this group… Is anyone set on just having one child? Or is it too soon to say for definite? Or do you feel strongly that you want another The pressure of family members saying “oh you have to give them a sibling”… but my LO was born 9 months ago and I’m pretty certain I’m don...

My toddler is almost 2, my partner has been in our life since she was a baby. I get no help. I feel like a single parent. Is this how it’s supposed to be? I’m so tired of it

Should a child of 2 years old and a baby of 3 month old attend a funeral. A family members funeral.

Should I allow my father in law to change my newborns nappies. He’s really excited as it is his second grandchild after 14 years. I just don’t know how I feel about it.

Has anyone been referred for a hysteroscopy? We’ve had 3 failed transfers so my consultant has referred me for one to find out if there’s anything going on. Success stories welcome! Xxx

What is the advice you wish you recieved when you went from one kid to two kids? And what would you tell yourself knowing what you know now?

I put my career on hold to have LO, I quit my job and have been a SAHM since. I've been feeling the urge to get back into work recently but haven't been seeing anything in my line of work in my area until last night. I applied for the job feeling a bit unsure, and also thinking I'll probably not get a response, but...

We’ve finally got a date for our 2nd transfer. The 1st transfer was fresh, which resulted in a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Did anyone try to do anything differently 2nd time round? 🤍✨

Headed to the ER for some weird spotting I’ve been having. I’m so nervous but trying not to say positive. Anyone down to chat while I wait? 🤍

Recently her adoptive parents placed her in foster care as she was asking to come back home to me etc etc long story. But she's currently in a Fos...

Oh boy. Just told my mum that I won’t be having visitors if I end up giving birth at the hospital. She already knew she’s not allowed to the birth centre I’ve chose (convinced her only one birthing partner allowed which is my husband) but if I get moved to the hospital I still want no visitors. I’m temporarily livin...
