Any other 3-weekers here?!

Hi girls, congrats to those in this group so far!

I’m super impatient so I started testing from 8 DPO 😅 got my faint line then and now dark line at 11 DPO. Feels surreal as I didn’t find out this early with my first and I’m not even due my period yet. Anybody in the same boat? 😅

Pregnancy

I don’t know if it’s my hormones but I really want to have another baby, I don’t know if I sound daft but the second I gave birth I was constantly saying I want more, I don’t know if I just want to relive the days from my baby being a newborn or if I want another child it’s just constantly on my mind, I’ve always said since a child that I wanted 10 babies but I will not be carrying that number out! Maybe 5 🫣

Shouldn't call your ex a sperm donor

Sperms donors are donors, your ex who pumped and dumped isnt. It's just insulting to actual donors

Erectile disfunction, mental 42yrs+

My husband who is soon to be 45 is showing signs of not getting erect as quickly, not keeping erect as long as he used to. He has been stressed with work, lacking sleep ,had some depression, suspected diabetes because of some related symptoms etc so I know these factors wouldn't help. Wondering how common this is with other men 42 years plus? I'm yet to have a heart to heart with him about it. I started to suspect he might be cheating but I don't think he is.

Positive PPROM stories

Been diagnosed with PPROM at 24+6 weeks. Completely out of my depth after having 3 straightforward pregnancies with no completions! I’ve been given steroids and am not having any contractions atm so I’m thinking they will let me go home soon with extra monitoring. Just looking for some positive stories and advice

7mo still spitting up?

I thought he’d outgrew it by now! It’s just as much or maybe more. Anyone on the same boat? Not sure if it’s concerning, I’ll see his ped on Friday

I want a baby sooo bad

Do you see a faint line or is it just wishful thinking you can be honest I’ve been trying for a really long time and nothing’s happened so it’s OK if not, but I swear I see something

When to try for another baby?

My son is 6 months old and I do want another baby. When is a good time to start? Or what a good age gap? Was it hard was it worth it?! Here is a photo of my handsome boy 🥺

TMI question

Has anyone else got insane discharge? I’m 5+2. This will be my second baby and I don’t remember this from the first time 😂

RSV

We just got diagnosed with RSV and I’m stressed. We’re on day 3 and I’m reading days 4 and 5 are usually the worst. Has anyone had it and how did your baby do??

Colostrum?

I’m 26 wks tomorrow, and barely been producing colostrum , I seen a big of clear but barely, is there anyone else that produces “later” and when did you start?

Anymore babies?

Will you be having anymore babies? Or are you done? I’ve got 2 but really thinking of a 3rd but it changes everything changes the whole dynamics and I know we would never regret the 3rd. Eeeek not sure

TTC after a chemical!

I’m currently going through a chemical and just wondering how long it should be until my period arrives??

Also how long did it take people to conceive again after a chemical?🥺

When does two get easier?

I struggle every day with two when I’m by myself 😩 I have a nearly 4.5 month and 3 year old

getting fuel for car while out and and about with baby

This might be random and a stupid question but how are people getting fuel for their car while they’re out and about alone with baby?

Anti D injection today

The people that have had it, how did you feel after it? I’m a bit nervous 😬

Sperm leakage

Guys sorry for TMI but wondering if anyone has had similar experience whilst TTC. So some days, when i stand up after sex, lots of leakage but the next day not really much ! Is this normal? How may it affect my chances? I am worried that the closer we get to ovulation day, the less sperm leakage i see ( probably because we have had more sex around then) . Like does this mean not enough sperm entering around ovulation ?! Lots of overthinking going on here please help ! X

Baby #2

So I am 6 weeks pp and already thinking of baby number 2😂🙈 it took us 8 years to convince our baby girl and as hard as it has been I can’t help but think of giving her a sibling.
Question is when should we start trying? I did have a c section so know not any time soon to give my body chance to recover. Curious when other women had there next baby after a c section
Thank you ☺️ x
