Not ready

We are looking at getting big storage boxes but we aren’t in a great place with money. I just don’t want to bring a newborn baby into this mess but I’m already stru...

New here!

Hi everyone, my baby was diagnosed with SVT when I was 28 weeks pregnant, treated with flecainide. We gave birth at UCLH in London and straight away our little man had an episode.

Baby #2

Okay. So. My daughter is my best friend, but wasn’t planned. It took one “oopsies” and BOOM preggo. She’s now 16 months, we just started trying for baby #2.

Fertility second time around

Is anyone else struggling to get pregnant second time around? I am 34 and we have been trying since July, taking the tablets doing the ovulation tests and nothing. Just looking for solidarity, I know people are in worse situations than me and that must be horrible but it all just feels pretty 💩
