Community Posts, Tips & Support on Planning for a Baby

I really want another baby. I am 37, so I need to make moves, so to speak and get off bc. I hear/see people say having babies in your late 30s is impossible and hard. Is anyone here a late 30s mom and/or currently pregnant around this age? Willing to give advice? For context, my youngest is 5.

Does it bug you when someone posts a "is it positive or line eyes" for pregnancy tests when the test clearly shows a positive... coloured, dark line etc. Like, I get it when the test is vvvvf or the line looks odd or whatever, but when it is very clearly a BFP... I just personally don't get it, just post saying "yay...

Had a chemical a few months ago and it’s been tough trying since. I keep seeing rainbows this week and so I’ve been hopeful that maybe that means something and I took a test, thought I maybe saw something, took another, and now not sure. I don’t have my hopes up or anything because I do have a habit of seeing things...

Hi! Just a question for fun! How many babies do you all want & when do you think y’all would be ready to start trying again?

Hi, I have just been referred for ivf funding with the nhs in bucks. From peoples experience, how long does it for funding to be approved & to actually start the process? Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼

when i first took the test i saw a very very faint line but thought if was an evap as it hadnt had colour, 2 hours later this is what it looks like now im stressing if its negative or positive😅😅iv always been told evaps have no colour

Is anyone else thinking of trying for another baby? How do we feel about this x

Only 7dpo and this was after 4 minutes. I think that’s a positive 😅

I tested this morning, and it was a bfn. 😕 Is there still hope that I will get my bfp? Or should I just accept AF is going to show her ugly face soon.

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...

This photo was taken within the 3 minute wait time. I don’t know how many dpo I am as I don’t test for ovulation. But it’s an early detection test & my period is due in 4 days. Also had spotting yesterday hence taking the test.

How did you politely say that you don't want visitors straight away?

Is this positive or do I just have line eyes? I’m really hoping this is it for us!🤞

So I don’t normally take blue dye test but it was the only one the store had. The line is really faint and hard to get a picture with my phone if it so these are the best I have if it. It showed up about a minute after I peed on it as well. Photos taken in time frame as well. I did change 2 of the phots in the check...

First response shows two line and the digital says no even clearblue says not pregnant. Not sure if the first response is giving me false positive

12DPO today! 4 days since I got my first positive at 8DPO. Lines are progressing nicely😍tomorrow I go to the hospital for my bloods doing to monitor my HCG levels! Is anyone else 12DPO or in their TWW?🤷🏻‍♀️🫶🏻✨

How many DPO should you start testing after TTC? I’m anxious and eager to start testing but I don’t want to start testing too early

I think I’m going crazy for this TWW😩 tested twice today 9dpo and still negative 😞😞

Anyone has low platelets count ? Between 85 and 100 ? What does your doctor think ? What type of delivery did you decide ? My numbers have gone down from 109 to 95 in a week and I am very nervous about a higher risk of getting PPH again ( I got it in my first delivery)
