Am I crazy?

I'm 7 or 8 DPO so I know it's still early- just couldn't help myself. I feel like I can MAYBE see something but maybe I'm imagining it! Of course I'll keep testing. I'm 3 or 4 days away from when AF is expected! Help!

I don’t understand how people willingly have 2 under 2!?

This is in no way judgemental, I’m genuinely trying to understand why. Having one baby puts our bodies through so much, and 4th trimester isn’t just 3months, it takes way longer to feel ‘normal’ for most women. I am always amazed+terrified of hearing moms having 2 under 2 (esp with less than 18m between babies). Wha...

Looking for some advice

I’m really struggling. I’ve been TTC for just over a year (however been wanting to try for many years before that so it feels a lot longer). I’m about to speak to my Dr to start with tests etc, is there anything particular I should ask about? I feel really low and finding it hard to keep positive. I just want it so...

Anyone done EC from infancy?

Would love to hear experiences/tips for EC in early early childhood! Was it worth the effort? We’ll be doing a mix of cloth diapering and disposable diapering but definitely interested in people’s experiences with EC! A little context for our situation - First time mom, I’ll be home with baby for foreseeable futu...

Anyone else ttc baby #2?

Husband and I decided to start trying for our next baby. Figured it might take a while cause it took 6 months to get pregnant with my first and I’m still breastfeeding every 2-3 hours during the day.

Second baby - when?

Please can I get thoughts? Ideally we want to have a second baby at some point. Now feels way too early to think about it (feels like our March baby has only just arrived !), but it’s not due to my age and due to my job. We’re loosely thinking about trying again when our baby turns one. It’s unlikely we’ll be luck...

ECV

Yesterday at 37+2 we found out baby is breech. I really don’t like the idea of an ECV but I’ve booked one in on Tuesday to give it a try. Anyone had a successful one? I’m really dreading it and think I’m going to go in and say if they can easily turn the baby then do it but then if any way they use too much pressure...

Appointment updates…

I was diagnosed with GD. My original estimated due date was October 13. They know for sure it will be earlier. They are anticipating 1 week earlier at the moment. I have nothing done. 😩🫠

6dpo anyone else?

First natural cycle in 1.5 years after a lot of failed IVF and endometriosis treatment. One loss 2 years ago and one chemical. Can’t even remember what implantation cramping feels like. Nervous :/

Bit hopeless could use some good stories

We've been trying to conceive for almost a year and a half. I did private testing which was all good, and had investigations on the NHS which were all really positive. They pretty much won't help because we're both healthy. But every month feels like a dagger. Give me your positive stories to keep me going 🙏

I wish men could have babies

I wish men could have babies so they could have more understanding. I mentioned to someone that I was tired and he asked me what time I woke up. How is that even relevant? Ask me how many times I went to the toilet in the night and how I can even get comfortable in bed when my stomach is so big and everything aches....

Tentatively joining and hoping for a sticky baby!

Hi guys! Had a vvvvv faint positive today so tentatively joining as I am trying to be positive, I had a very very early miscarriage last month (a chemical pregnancy), seem to be quite prone to them as I had x3 when TTC my first baby. This will be baby #2 for us 🤞🤞🤞 let's hope that this little bean sticks in there!
