Secondary Infertility

Is anyone struggling with this? I have a baby girl which I got pregnant with within the first month and now it feels like I’m never going to have a baby again. Been trying since April and I guess I’m impatient. I also EBF and I’ve been taking ovulation test strips. Haven’t had a peak yet!!

I just can’t anymore

I gave birth June 8. Baby boy has been intubated now extubated now he’s getting a central line done the video I watched it looks like he’ll. He’s been poked so many times now he’s on a cpap machine. I’ve been waiting 4 hours and they’re still not done. I feel no point in anything anymore

UK doctors

Been ttc since December. If I go to the doctors, are they able to help me or will they just tell me to wait until the year mark? Pretty sure I’m not ovulating. Also no idea what’s wrong but I just feel so uncomfortable in my lower body. Thought it was digestive as I have IBS but it doesn’t feel like that. (Tests a...

Nesting for baby #2

Just wondering how in the heck it’s possible to nest for second baby…. For me, I am hardly able to focus on getting ready for baby #2 as I am exhausted from working full time and taking care of a 12 month old while pregnant 😭 if you did it or are doing it, how did you?!
