Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

I used to work with a friend 7 years ago. She would often bring at least 1 of her 5 kids to work for the entire day. Mind you, we worked in fast food. She made food while I was the cashier and cleaned the dining room. Her kids weren’t very well behaved and she actually gave me permission to not only get onto her kid...

I took this test this morning. And forgot bout it. Came home from work and saw this… took one when I got home and it’s clearly negative…

I can see a faint line and we’ve been trying to get pregnant naturally as my first bubba was through ivf but I’m terrified and think I’m seeing things???

Hay! I’ve just been told from my blood test that my PAPP-A results are low. It’s a worry! I’ve of course had a look at the NHS website to learn more. Has anyone else got the same results? I’m 15w1d pregnant with my first. Xx

I hate it here.. 🫠😂 That’s all for today. Wishing everyone the best of luck and all the baby dust 🫶🏻✨

Hi guys, I am about 7w at the moment and haven’t announced to anyone because my husband would like to wait until we’ve had our first scan. I am excited to tell friends and family but I’m worried about telling my best friend of 25 years because she is struggling to conceive (and has for years). I’ve read elsewher...

I’ve always known I wanted a second child. Once I was ready I came off contraception and started trying. I had some things I didn’t use for my first and just kept them for my ‘next’. I fell pregnant in September last year and started shopping for more baby clothes and other items (a whole medium suitcase full). Sad...

I can’t even begin to imagine what goes on through the mom’s minds that defend and back up their grown son’s actions especially if it effects the child. It feels almost inhumane that a mother can watch their child physically and emotionally abuse the mother of their grandchild and not say anything… But when I’ve ha...

I always thought I'd want a second baby, but now that my LG is here I'm just not sure. She's a happy baby who sleeps well, but I'm still permanently exhausted and overwhelmed because we have very little support. My husband wants us to start trying for another but I'm just not sure I could handle pregnancy and a newb...

“Tell me what foods I should eat and what I should do!”

Just need some help understanding this so I've got one child and I currently receive child element I've got another child on the way I think I can claim child element again would this be the same amount.

Hi, I did a clear blue yesterday and it said positive 1-2 weeks but I did a red dye today and it’s negative? Please stop me spiralling 😭 I was due on yesterday Thanks x

Okay so the bottom (positive?) wondfo test was originally negative/indented within the testing timeframe, so I threw it away. It was in the trash can with another negative pregnancy test sitting in an empty urine cup. When I looked back an hour later it was positive? Just this one- the other was still negative. It h...

Hey! I had my baby girl a few months ago now , I absolutely adore motherhood. Me and my partner cannot wait to add a new addition to the family already. How long did you wait before trying for another baby ?x

Had my Beta test today. Got a confirmation of a positive test from the clinic and I also tested at home for the first time since my FET and got a BFP. I hope this encourages someone. I am 40years old, first pregnancy. My 1st IVF cycle was canceled before the egg retrieval because I only had one follicle.

So I’m not trying to be mean but I’m seeing people respond to others tests with “nope” or “no”. Personally and I don’t know if it’s because I’ve gone through a miscarriage twice and had negative tests I know it can be slightly heartbreaking. So all I’m asking is people be a bit more cautious with their words and say...

My partner has smoked for about 5/6 years, he’s been a daily smoker (onea day) for about 3 years. I’ve also been smoking about 5/6 days a week (just once in the evening) for the last 3 years since i had my first child. Before that i was doing it once or twice a week for about 3 years.. i conceived my first very eas...

Hi ladies, is anyone else suffering with gallbladder issues? I want to TTC for my second baby but I'm worried there could be complications. Anyone else in the same boat?

I’m currently TTC Baby #2 and even though I said I’d be patient this time, I couldn’t help testing early. AF is due Thursday.

Hey! I’m currently trying for baby #2 and I don’t know if I’m being delulu but it feels like I’m showing some of the same early symptoms as last time so decided to take a test. Does this look like a potential early positive?
