For those co parenting. Does your LO do overnights?

hi all, this is very vulnerable for me to be asking for advice about but i want to be the best mom i can. my son is mixed (im white and his dad is black) and his dad is not in the picture at all. i’ve seen a lot of discourse online about how sometimes kids that are mixed that grow up with a white parent feel like th...

It’s been a while! Gearing up to have our next FET hopefully next month, after being successful with my baby girl in August 23❤️. Stills feels as scary and daunting as ever after having so many MC’s and years of pain, but I’m telling myself now that my body CAN do it and praying it works and we get our 2nd little mi...

Has anyone on here gone through with adoption? I’m currently going through the process of going to do this and I feel so alone and just disgusted in myself . I don’t really know who or how to talk to anyone about it without them understanding experience wise ?

Hey mamas 👋🏾❤️ I’m a single mama of a 5 year old and just recently gave birth to my other daughter who is 3 days old. I made the decision to give her up for adoption and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve done honestly but I think I’ve done a pretty good job at staying strong throughout the whole process. The…

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
