How do people decide when it’s the right time to have a second child, or it your even sure if you want to? Me and my partner want to but we are so stuck on the fence as we have 2 crazy dogs. I just can’t bare the thought of 2 high energy dogs, a toddler and a new born! Shall o just do it and pray we all stay sane...

How do y’all moms handle (emotionally) your child/ children having visitation out of state/ in the state which you live with the other parent that you don’t trust wholeheartedly? When does it get easier? How do you cope with it?

I am just growing more and more in love with my little man. His dad decided he’s already raised 2 kids (my bonus kids are 5 and 7 now) and he wants to step back and let me take on the majority of the baby care. I’m shocked and saddened but feeling stronger and empowered everyday. Keeping a grateful heart! Our God is...

Please can you tell me about your results from an egg retrieval with high AMH 👌🏼 xx

Hi everyone, This post is more of a rant than anything else… and I am curious to know if anyone else has encountered something similar. My 11month old is the first grandchild of my family. I expected my Mum to be a lot more present and interested than she is. What doesn’t help is that she lives about a 4hr drive awa...

First time collecting colostrum so happy with myself😁 with my first I was unable to BF due to being in hospital afterwards and being separated from her. Very determined to exclusively BF this time round🥰

I have a 3 month old with soon to be ex partner. He went on holiday when our son was 3 weeks old and only told me about it 2 weeks before the holiday. I decided to go ahead and register our sons birth without him (UK) so he is not in the birth certificate. He’s not really on the ball with these things, however 2 day...

Hey! I’ve got a 3 year old and I’ve just split up with his dad. How do you cope financially?? His dad will probably move back to England and I doubt he’ll be giving me any sort of child maintenance. I’m a social worker so on okay money, just worried about the logistics of nursery payments and everything else.

Hi everyone! I always envisioned myself having 4 children and I welcomed my second child in February this year. I’m 32 years old and I’m wondering how I could possibly handle a third. I also have an almost 3 year old . I’m a sahm and very dedicated to my kids but I’m so tired. I don’t know whether to grow my family...

How long before did you collect colostrum and is it easy? I’m coming up 37 weeks and not getting anything yet…

I have a 3.5 year old daughter and a 1 year old daughter. My younger one has recently become quite possessive over me. And if my elder daughter tries to come near me or sit on my lap or just wants cuddles from her mom, my younger one will start a crying fit as soon as she sees it. When this happens I usually just te...

I had my first ever transfer this morning, I’m so nervous yet so excited. What are some things I should do to help my embryo stick. Pic of our hopefully soon to be Bub after the transfer

Hey lady’s What’s your thought on having another baby after having a baby with Down syndrome? We didn’t know our little one would have Down syndrome and it’s been a roller coaster but, as the days have gone on. I feel like she needs a sibling but absolutely scared in case we have another sick child, we just don’t w...

Starting tonight and so far so so difficult
