If you could live your life again with the same knowledge you have now, would you choose to have children?

Take out of the equation who your children are.

I had such a blessed life before children. And I feel like overall, I’m definitely a more stressed, angry and sad person than I was before. If I knew what I knew now, I don’t think I would do it. I know that sounds really harsh but I think the people who decide not to have kids are the ones who have really done their research and had proper hands on experience dealing with kids for extended periods of time.

I think you’d be lying if you didn’t have this thought before, even just got a fleeting second of your life….

Why is it so hard

Anyone else super shattered and nauseous in 3-5 weeks pregnancy?

Wow I started feeling huge fatigue and nausea at 10 dpo, I’m 12 dpo and I can’t remember feeling it this early last pregnancy I had with my son. Anyone else feeling it super early on? I know it can be very normal. I’ve got a full on but rewarding job driving around schools doing Music Therapy and mental health support and I’m wondering how much I’ll need to step back on and how soon. Going to take it day by day week by week!

Thank youuuu

positive or bad test?

I’ve used these tests before and never had this happen. I feel like I’m going crazy looking at it.

Am i crazy

I took the first picture this morning with first morning pee and its obviously positive. I had an OB appointment at 4pm today and their test was negative and then when i got home i took the second test and i feel like i can see something but im not sure. Im suoer confused.

Positive ?

So my period is supposed to come today and hasn’t yet and I’m paranoid so I took a test and when I first took it , it showed one line then my fiancé looked at it like 2 hours later and saw this small line but it’s only under it so like I don’t know what to think 🤣
I also just got off the IUD and my body is all over the place right now
I have a 8 month old and a 2 year old like I am really hoping it’s just the dye from sitting ☠️
But what do ya’ll think?????
