Christening

Hello I don’t want to offend anyone and also not sure how it works, my baby won’t be christened but I want my best friend to have a part of my sons life a label as a “godmother” she isn’t christened either so I know she logically can’t be a god mother? Do any of you have important people in your life’s that have a b...

Positive test

Anyone else get a positive at 3 weeks? Got first positive at 9 dpo 6 days before missed period and am so anxious. Ultrasound not scheduled till 11/18 and Dr office said that they won’t due a blood draw till 4 days after missed period. I am just so nervous in this waiting period that you really can’t confirm anything.

Reading pregnancy test too late

Took the early pregnancy test too literally and did it with my first wee at 5.30am. Result looked negative. Looked at it again about 12 and there is the faintest little line that is almost impossible to see. I’m wondering if it was always there but impossible to see in the 5.30 light, or if it’s come through later. ...

Has anyone tested negative at 12DPO with an ultra early test but then ended up testing positive later on like 13-14DPO? I’m 3 days away from AF and took a clear blue ultra early digital and it says not pregnant 🙁

Am I pregnant

Currently 5 DPO, but the past few days I’ve been experiencing intense cramping, napping, nausea. So I decided to try a test and see and this showed up. Later this evening I tried again but it looked like there was only 1 line. I guess it’s early too early to tell and will try again from next week.

Can you love an adopted child as much as your own

We really want another baby, but we are in our 40s already, and if it won't happen, we might consider adoption. But I am worried I am not capable of loving another child as much as I love my son. I would never show it, but also, I dont want to live hiding or pretending, and it won't be fair on anyone. I just want to...

I’m 8 DPO today…took a test in the morning and it was negative (please don’t comment that it’s early to test, I’m aware).
