Which did you find harder?

Those of you with multiple kids already, did you find it harder going 0-1 or 1-2?
I found going 0-1 extremely hard, had ppd, anxiety, rage, ptsd from the birth, birth trauma, unable to bond, unable to breastfeed so had to pump. Was really shit. So I’m hoping it will be easier to go from 1-2 but I often hear mixed thoughts so wanted to get an idea of what other people feel ☺️

Can completely relate and so would be interested in what others say! X

1-2 is hard don’t get me wrong but it’s also easier than the first because you know what your doing and your a lot more confident in dealing with things ! Currently pregnant with my third and not phased at all 🫶🏻🥺 you’ll do fantastic so don’t stress xx

I know how you feel. I'm hoping I can enjoy the baby phase a bit more this time around, because I really didn't first time!
Fairly certain this will be my last baby too. But it will be a very different experience regardless with a toddler to keep up with as well 😂

1-2 is more than twice the work, but also more than twice the benefits. If you manage it right, there is a massive abundance of love and happiness, as its not just about your relationship with baby this time, it's seeing the relationship between your children too. Which brings so much extra joy! And in case your wondering, 2-3, well your already doing it all anyway so that doesn't make a massive amount of difference, but again, loads more love 😍 and going 3-4, well il let you know in September if I'm still sane 🤣

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week

Ovulation

If I had sex yesterday (Saturday) n my ovulation date is on Tuesday is it possible I could get pregnant?

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx

At 8DPO negative test result

At 8 DPO not even a faint line , a straight negative test . So does that means it’s a no pregnancy for me this month . Or there are future chances for hcg to rise

Could this be like my ovulation is about to start from this ovulation test

I had my period on the 15 of march and my cycle is 23 days from the picture will be that I’m ovulating

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.
