Did you tell children you were trying for another baby?

Another mum asked if I was 'one & done' today and when I said no, she then asked if I had told my 3 year old, we were trying for a baby. I said no because we haven't and it's got me thinking, is it something people tell or not?

Help, evap?

I took this test earlier and it was negative after the 3 mins, but a few hours later there’s a clear thin blue line. I’m sure it’s an evap but I’m confused as I thought they were colourless?!

So I am firm believer of no one outside of mum and dad kissing the newborn for obvs reasons..

Thing is, this time round I'm going to be a mum to a toddler and a newborn.. if youre a parent that believes in the no kissing where do you stand with your toddler kissing the baby? Yes or no?? And what's your reasoning? Idk what to do with this one

Ovulating super soon after a chemical?

I had a chemical and started bleeding 5th Feb. Once I stopped bleeding I have been using the clear blue ovulation tests. Yesterday was the empty circle but today was a solid smiley. Is it possible I could already be ovulating? Flo thinks my window isn’t for another week… I’m just getting over the flu so not sure I’m...

Positive or evap?

I think I’m 10dpo today but I easily could be 9. My test yesterday was negative but I’ve tested this morning and there is obvious line but quite thin and blue. Has anyone had a positive like this before? I appreciate I’m early. Thanks x

Positive then negative

Hello ladies Bit of a story I’m sorry but need some help. I got what I assumed was my period 3 days ago. Roughly around 10dpo.

More children?

I was so set on one and done, but I guess what they say is right.. eventually you might want another one. How many of you “one and done” mamas are considering another baby?🥹 I definitely wanna wait until my daughter is three to try. She is almost 15 months now. It goes so damn fast. But then part of me is scared to…

Ovulation tests picking up pregnancy after miscarriage

Bit of an odd one , but from previous experience, I know that ovulation tests seem to pick up when you are pregnant… past 2 times I’ve been pregnant, I’ve known this because my ovulation tests have been super positive (when I shouldn’t be ovulating) and both times I’ve been pregnant.
