Time for a new OB???

My OB just told me to get the MMR booster (my labs showed im no longer immune) and from what I’ve researched that is a big no-no for pregnant women. She also failed to give me a TDAP with my last pregnancy. Thinking it’s time to change obs, am I crazy for doing it?

When did (or are you) planning to have a second child?

My partner seems to get into the heat of the moment and wants to try for a second kid and I’m not so sure about it. We have a 6 month old girl and he already wants to try for another (a boy specifically).

How many times?

For those of you lucky ladies that have conceived already, how many times do you all do it in your fertile window. I'll probably get a peak tonight or tomorrow. Everything is fine with us fertile wise however I think we might not be doing it enough 😒

10 DPO

I decided to test today even though it’s early because I felt weird . I’m so scared. I had a MMC December last year which I had to do D/C on January because I didn’t miscarry naturally. It took me more than two month after the procedure to have a period and I was scared to try again. We tried this month and I tested...

Wanting baby no.2

I love my baby to pieces 💗😍 I'm already wanting another! Please put me off 😭😂 mine is only a few months! But the dad has said he is getting to 40 in 2 years so won't want any after that and I don't want one exactly now but he's changing my mind because I don't want just one baby but feel like it's now or never 🥺

Having a second child ? Yes or no?

Is it really worth having a second baby, do you think your life has become easier or harder after having a second kid or if you could change time would’ve you stayed with one only? Trying to figure out because I’m really debating if should have another baby or not. I really liked the flexibility of having one baby...

Paranoid Testing Completed

That’s it, I officially cannot test anymore. 18 DPO and I am as far as I’m going to get on tests. I’m hoping this baby’s 3 angel siblings are guiding this baby to the world this time 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻 🤍 🌈 my 7 week scan cannot come quick enough x

First and second after 40

Just had my first at 41 and debating if we’ll have another. I’ll be 42 when trying and 43 giving birth if all goes well. Did anyone have more than one baby after 40? If so how did pregnancy go? Was the second harder?

OC/ ICP

Hiya, Has anyone been diagnosed with OC also known as ICP, the liver disease? I have and the consultant is pushing to induce at 37 weeks (from next weds) but we're not sure this is the best thing to do after lots of reading up on it. Still waiting for the latest blood results for the bile acids.
