Clear blue!!!

Hello, TTC for baby number 2. I would like to just say how frustrating these tests are.

Had the line got lighter?

I’ve been testing almost every day up until my first test. The line has been progressively getting better however this morning the line has lightened drastically. I have an early scan tomorrow but I’m freaking out now. Could the test be faulty or is it definitely lighter.

Single Mama by Choice

I chose to undergo IVF on my own. I’m glad of my decision. Sometimes I do worry, but I honestly don’t have the emotional capacity to be in a relationship. People are too inconsistent for me😩

Why do people care if you mutilate your sons genitals? We are all out here parenting how we believe is best.

Seriously, why can't we just respect the fact that we are all out here doing our best. We are doing what we believe is best for our kids.

Baby being passed around at Christmas

With Christmas approaching does anyone else hate the idea of family members you don’t really get on with holding your little one? I know people can be firm about others holding their baby but he’s not a newborn anymore and some are quite close family so I feel there’s an expectation.
