I went to look around a few nurseries with my husband recently for when I'm thinking of going back to work. One of the nurseries seems in line with our values and the staff appeared to care about the children. There was just a feeling inside of me I couldn't shake that having babies being looked after by strangers i...

If so, care to share?

Anyone gotten their “pink” back?.. I swear I feel more exhausted and not myself than I did when I first had my girl. I don’t really have any time away from my girl, I’m a full time sahm. If yall have gotten your pink back, how are yall doing it🫠

I watched a cool YouTube short today that honestly educated me! I guess being in my own country I sometimes forget that labor and delivery is still not open to the dad to be. It’s generally a women’s only space.

Hi ladies, gone anonymous as I have friends in this group 🤭 We already have 2 children, one 5 and 2 year old and we’ve been speaking about baby 3, those who have three children, how did you find it going from 2 to 3? Do they just slot straight in ? Is it harder than going 1 to 2 children… Would love to hear your…

Like a break by giving them a bottle or a break carrying the baby.. it’s like so useless. Then they start talking so much/ asking questions like either be hands on and help or just get out my face.

Did you let the father of your child sign the birth certificate

Did you do KIT days before you went back to work? How many did you do? How many hours a day did you do? Did you space them out or do 1/2 a week to get them out the way? Sorry for all the questions intrigued into what other people have done as I'm coming up to the time where I need to start thinking about doing my ...

What was your experience? How should I prepare.

Lining was 7.86, all good to go for ET next Friday! Anyone else have their transfer that day?! X

Collected my first 1ml syringe of colostrum 🤩 Ahhhh such a proud moment! Did anyone else have a go? Did you experience any contractions? If yes, how long after?!

I’ve applied for child maintenance and they’ve asked for further information on the dad as I only gave name and DOB as I didn’t know where he was living. After looking further and further into details I know, I’ve given parents address, address of his girlfriend (very new) number, passport number, previous work and ...

Why did they do it?

Day before first egg collection here. (Bricking it a little 😬) These measurements are from Tuesday morning. I had one final dose of Pergoveris last night but only 225 iu. (I was on 375 all the way through with one dose of 450 on Monday) What’s your predictions? I’m gonna say 7 eggs. 🌸

I will be getting a R-order in place where we can only talk through a parenting app. What is the best one?? There are loads of different ones online but want opinions from people actually using them. Thank you in advance xx

Hello my lovelies , just looking to see if anyone’s had the same issue and what they done to solve it ? So I’m going to be getting my 2 kids passports they’re dads on the birth certificate but he doesn’t see them or contact them and I’ve no idea how to contact him either to get his permission is there a way I can g...

We are so excited to become a family of 4 but is it normal to feel so much guilt about my toddler no longer being an only child? It feels so bittersweet as I’m so excited to have another baby and he will be the best big brother but I’m finding myself getting so upset at the prospect of it not just being “us” anymore...

Hi mamas , Anyone with experience in North Carolina knowing of a judge taking young babies back and forth between parents ? I filed for primary custody of my 3 month old ,but hearing people say for a child this young , the courts typically want the child to still have both parents so a 2,2,3 schedule is most likely...

Our daughter will be 1.5 in a couple weeks. L&d was a bit traumatic, went fine until I wasn't progressing and had an emergency c-section. Ppd was rough, I'm not used to those types of emotions. That being said, I'm getting some baby fever realizing our daughter would make a great sister and I kind of want a boy. R...
