I’m 6 months postpartum, and currently breastfeeding so I know I won’t get pregnant for a while. Anyone else going through this or something similar? Any exp...

I want another baby 👀😂 this whole experience has not been plain sailing but I have this desire to have a second child 😩

My husband says we will manage! But I don’t know if this is a selfish act.. just giving into biological desires lol?? The baby would be my second and last and then it’s done. But because I know I want a second I’m constantly thinking about it despite saying we would wait 3-5 years

35 and okay to get pregnant

How did you come to be okay with having a baby over 35yrs? I'm struggling with recurrent pregnancy loss. We just lost what was going to be our 2 and last kid. If we try again I'll be having the kid after I turn 35. Which I know puts me into a higher risk category. I also know it is perfectly possible to have a healt...

Very hard

Hi ladies. I’m currently 10DPO and testing negative. In such a bad headspace with it all! Been 12 months of trying and I’m fed up. Having acupuncture next week as we really want a second but it’s draining me. Just sending solidarity to anyone in the same boat, it’s really tough ❤️
