Is it just me?

Im 9dpo and just felt the need to test. I’ve been feeling sick which is put down to weather and have been peeing more and I just thought I’d see.
Pretty sure there’s a vvfl and ofc I’ll retest in a few days.

Just curious if anyone else sees what I see.

Was within time frame. Showed up after about 2 min

Struggling to get pregnant again

Hiya! I am first time mom who got easily pregnant the first go! We are struggling to get pregnant again. Our little one is 9 months and we have been trying for a few months because my dream is 2 under 2!

Is anyone else in the middle of this phase?

Starting to TTC!

Hi guys I just joined this group since I’m trying for baby #2 starting this month! I was wondering if anyone had some tips or tricks on conceiving? I bought some ovulation strips and have been practicing using them. Any advice is much appreciated :) My first baby wasn’t planned and I was young so it’s my first time intentionally trying. Thanks in advance!

39 weeks and so far no sign of labor

Any tips or tricks I'm trying to get this baby out by fathers day 😭

Trying for baby#2 . No luck

My first is 2.5. Hubs and I have been trying for a year now (not EVERY month.. we have skipped a few). But im still not pregnant. I used the ovulation tracker and pee stick last few months and still nothing.. Im starting to get worried now esp. because my first pregnancy happened after just one try. It also doesn’t help that all my friends who wanted a second already have one and everyone keeps asking me when Im planning on having a second. Im feeling very anxious about this now.

Short cycle/luteal phase

I think I have this and worried it’s affecting me ttc. Anyone else have experience of this or advice? Thanks

Can’t put baby down

Anyone have the problem of not being able to put the baby down. I can’t even go pee without baby crying. Any tips??

Baby #2?

Is anybody else feeling stuck between deciding whether or not to start trying for baby number two? Some days I feel super ready and excited and other days I think I’m a one and done type of gal.

If you had a very easy first baby, was your second baby more difficult temperament wise?

Any examples would be great. My first was a dream and I’m so worried I’m in for it with the second!

Personal question

For the Feb 24 mummies of one, who haven’t got pregnant again yet. Do you want another baby? When would you ideally like another if so?

For the mummies that have a second child or another on the way, how did you decide the time was as right as it ever would’ve been?

Wanted a second baby ( advice )

Hi all just looking for some advice, we want to have a second baby but we live in area where we need to drive if we wanna go out I don’t drive so I do buses with my daughter who 2 and my partner drives but he’s works all week and I wanna learn how to drive but it’s seem likes it going to take me forever and I just want some advice, do I wait to have a second baby till after I’ve learned to drive or do I just go for it and have another baby now or can I still learn while pregnant with a second baby, I just don’t know what to do some advice would be appreciate ❤️

Any advice or reassurance/ personal stories?

Hi all i am 34 and currently TTC for 7 months. It hasnt happened yet and should i be worried? I have bad anxiety anyway. Last time i concieved in month 2 so i must admit i am disappointed, although i know this can happen. Like last time, we use the Lh sticks and just have sex around this time 2 or 3 times maybe more sometimes. Trying my best with things. Spiralling a bit sometimes and worrying like what if it takes ages will i end up too old. I had PND last time and desperate for a different experience too x

Second child!

Trying for a second one. I must be nuts! Any advice, minus to bang 24/7 until my next cycle? lol

Any positive stories or advice about planning a third baby?

Xx
