Yet another announcement from our baby group of friends 😫

But no implantation bleeding, negative tests. I’m holding onto hope that it’s still too early. But what if it’s not. We BD all the way through our fertile windo...

anyone considering baby no2?

anyone considering trying for baby number 2? We want another but not sure if we should wait or just start trying now as might be nice having a closer age gap so they can grow up together.. However I am also feeling guilty if I did! TIA xx

My little one is 14 months this month… However myself and my partner are considering trying for another! Please can I have some honest opinions on how you find it ❤️ Is it as hard as everyone says? I’d feel guilty for my little one if I did have another, does that guilt go away? Thanks ☺️
