What you did to get pregnant

Hi lovelies, I am trying to conceive for a second time but it's been really hard. Trying since a year but no success. Had a miscarriage too in April. Any tips suggestions please. I am 37 and really wishing to get pregnant.

Found out I’m expecting baby 2

I’ve always wanted a second baby but this has come quicker than expected. My other half doesn’t sound keen on the idea of keeping and going through with it. What do I do??

1 day late. Irregular period.. been testing a week leading up to this one all others were negative.. cramping 2 days prior

Am I getting disappointed….
I asked my partner to pick me up a digital on his way home…

icp

anybody else dealing with an ICP diagnosis and impending induction date? had never heard of it until my ob had me tested. now i get to meet our little one 3 weeks early. i wanna hear if someone else has had this experience and for the love of god, how do i get the itching to stop🫶🏻

Digital tests

I’m 4+4 today, and still getting 1-2 weeks from conception on clear blue. Really was hoping I’d get a 2-3 by now, I’ve had 3 early losses in the last two years, currently on progesterone, aspirin & clexane. Feeling so anxious. When did everyone else get 2-3 on a digital? X

Fed up already …

Baby number one we conceived accidentally after missing a couple of pills 💊 in my cycle…

Now trying for baby number two and already lost any hope or positivity as I thought it would be supper quick and easy! Only on cycle two but just feel so negative and fed up already at the fact it could take months to conceive!

Me and my husband are so
Excited at the thought of baby number two we’re so impatient 😂

Looking for positive TTC 2nd baby stories please! xxxx

Thinking of trying for second baby?

I’ve been wanting another baby since my LO was 9 months old lol! He’s 17 months now and we are likely to be in a position to be trying soon. I’m so excited by the thought but also feel so guilty that he won’t be our only baby anymore? Why do I feel like I’m letting him down?? Does this mean I should wait a bit?

Labour

Hey guys how did you know you were going to into labour?? I’m 32 weeks but cause of low PAPP-A have a high chance of preterm and honestly it feels like it’s happening/coming I just ah e no idea what I’m looking of for
TIA xx

Going from one to two

Currently just have my 18 month old. My husband and I have been talking about having a second. He is fully ready to jump in but I am so nervous I won’t be able to love my second as much as I love my first. Or like how I would be able to give enough attention to both. Question how did you know you were ready for your second and did you have any of the same fears?

Birthing ball

At what stage did you start using a ball? Im looking into getting one but im only 23 + 4

I have a 22 month old but my body is telling me have another

I wanted to wait until he was 3 for another but I went through such a weird thing where I was craving another baby. Didn't help that I had dreams too. At first I thought "oh ovulation" but then it lasted for a month and more and I knew it was not ovulation.

Anyone else had the same feeling

Colostrum harvesting

Hello I reached 37 weeks on Saturday and have tried to harvest colostrum for the last few days with no luck. Has anyone else managed to do this before childbirth and, if so, how many attempts did it take?

Baby number 2

Currently trying for baby number 2, to early to test but I am so excited finally to start trying. Anyone else trying or is pregnant with 2nd. How did it go going from 1 to 2 or toddler adjusting to new baby coming?

I think I’m ready

I’m a single mom with no help so I have to make sure baby boy have his stuff

TTC baby#2

How long did it take everyone to conceive baby #2. Our daughter is 2 and was a surprise pregnancy, we have been trying for 2 cycles with no luck yet, tracked LH and got a positive. Aware it can take much longer than this. Trying to get into a positive mindset that it will happen when it is supposed to but this journey is so draining and lonely

Anyone in the group that isnt pregnant yet

I am waiting for ovulation and waiting for some good newss but couldn't help to join the group

The jump from one to two

My baby is only one and I’ve been talking to my husband about trying for another but I’m nervous about going through the newborn stage with another child so young. I’d like to hear everyone’s stories good or bad about the jump from one child to two, or if you only have one, do you regret not trying for another?

Husband/partners inputs

Am I the only one whose partner barely does anything to help look after the baby, but will tell ME how to look after LO?
‘Maybe do this/that’
‘Maybe try doing it like this instead’
‘Don’t hold them like that’

How about stfu and you do it then?!

Definitely was being tested last night 😅

Was trying to decide yesterday if I'm definitely okay with only having 2 kids and should send my husband to the gp to discuss his vasectomy as planned or if i will want to have more kids (was fully going down the maybe i could try one more time for a vbac rabbit hole and thinking about how I always wanted a sister and maybe i could try give my daughter one instead, i was thinking about what names work well with Ronan and Melissa etc) but then Ro started vomiting last night and my husband and I had to divide and conquer and man I feel like ive been hit by a truck 🙈😅 i don't know how those of you with more than 2 kids do this 😬😬😬 whoever oversees humanity was definitely listening to me yesterday and thought okay girl I'm just going to give you a little reality check here
