Collected my first 1ml syringe of colostrum 🤩 Ahhhh such a proud moment! Did anyone else have a go? Did you experience any contractions? If yes, how long after?!

I’ve applied for child maintenance and they’ve asked for further information on the dad as I only gave name and DOB as I didn’t know where he was living. After looking further and further into details I know, I’ve given parents address, address of his girlfriend (very new) number, passport number, previous work and ...

Why did they do it?

Day before first egg collection here. (Bricking it a little 😬) These measurements are from Tuesday morning. I had one final dose of Pergoveris last night but only 225 iu. (I was on 375 all the way through with one dose of 450 on Monday) What’s your predictions? I’m gonna say 7 eggs. 🌸

I will be getting a R-order in place where we can only talk through a parenting app. What is the best one?? There are loads of different ones online but want opinions from people actually using them. Thank you in advance xx

Hello my lovelies , just looking to see if anyone’s had the same issue and what they done to solve it ? So I’m going to be getting my 2 kids passports they’re dads on the birth certificate but he doesn’t see them or contact them and I’ve no idea how to contact him either to get his permission is there a way I can g...

Does anyone experience internal rage when you think about how easy it is to be a dad? How my partner can just spend time in the garage for the afternoon so freely or say he’s got to drop by the tool shop and by default, because you’re the mother you stay home with the baby? I mainly think about how women carry a ba...

We are so excited to become a family of 4 but is it normal to feel so much guilt about my toddler no longer being an only child? It feels so bittersweet as I’m so excited to have another baby and he will be the best big brother but I’m finding myself getting so upset at the prospect of it not just being “us” anymore...

Hi mamas , Anyone with experience in North Carolina knowing of a judge taking young babies back and forth between parents ? I filed for primary custody of my 3 month old ,but hearing people say for a child this young , the courts typically want the child to still have both parents so a 2,2,3 schedule is most likely...

Our daughter will be 1.5 in a couple weeks. L&d was a bit traumatic, went fine until I wasn't progressing and had an emergency c-section. Ppd was rough, I'm not used to those types of emotions. That being said, I'm getting some baby fever realizing our daughter would make a great sister and I kind of want a boy. R...

Has anyone not had much luck selling on vinted recently 🤔 I haven't sold anything in about a month is this usual??

Anyone started collecting yet ? First try today and just managed to get 1.0 ml 🙂

I’ve just finished a 3 month residential assessment and we failed. I don’t know how to feel now they’re going to take my baby away. I want him to call me mama and to see him crawling and walking 😭

Hey mums, I'm curious to know what people do when giving birth to a second child when they have no family or friends to mind their first child/children? Does the husband just not attend the birth?

Hey ladies, excuse my language, but how the hell do you co parent with an ass hole? 😊

Does your baby dad tell people that you don’t allow him to see his child?

I’m posting incognito as I keep seeing all these women asking questions for support (as we should) and they get opinions opposed to help or assistance. For example, seeing parents asking about weaning advice prior to 6M. And the comments will be people slamming about how the LO isn’t 6M & should wait. Why commen...

Anyone willing to share their experiences regarding adopting a child when you already have bio kids? We personally don't know anyone who has made this kind of transition and we're currently discussing our options. Posting anonymous cause I know people irl on here and we have not gone public with this
