What do you find the hardest about 2 under 2?

I'm about to join the 2 under 2 club in august/September, with a 13 month age gap, I'm hearing from a lot of you that it's hard but it's worth it and I'm curious as to what you find the hardest ? ...xx

Why have I never heard of Silent Endometriosis?

I'm almost at 10 years TTC and have just been told asymptomatic endometriosis is a probability. Why have I never heard of it? Do you have any information about it? BTW I've booked the appt to enquire but while I wait I thought I'd ask the community.

9dp5dt beta - 101

Trying to be hopeful, but not feeling great about my beta today. I know this is a perfectly strong number, but I worry as it’s a third of what my last beta was with my daughter and my pregnancy tests have looked basically identical 7dpt-9dpt. I know about later implantation, but I got a vvvfp 4dpt, so I don’t think it’s that :( anyone else not see progression and have a successful pregnancy? I’m worried it’s a chemical and my beta is already going down and 101 is just the start. Ugh. Feeling so down and stressed.

2 under 3..

Is it really hard? I need words of encouragement, me and my husband have decided to start trying in October, our daughter will be 18 months which means we could potentially have just over a year age gap. (It may of course take longer to conceive)

Positive stories please? Incognito as I don’t want friends and family to see and know we’re going to start trying

Trying for Baby No 2

We have an 18m old with our last 2 frozen embryos in storage and think we have decided to try again.

We were a long time TTC and our first baby was via our 3rd transfer so I was trying lots of different things, acupuncture, no caffeine/alcohol/perfume, eco friendly brands, drinking bone broth etc!

Our doctor has suggested the same meds which is natural cycle plus progesterone, but with a toddler on the run I don’t know if I’ve got the headspace or energy to do all the “extra stuff” and if any of that helped anyway?

I feel more relaxed this time but also want to give it the best shot so feel like I need to prepare.

Anyone else been in a similar position?

Looking for the real, raw advice/ hacks that has worked for you as a mom of 2 under 2

Hey guys I just welcomed a beautiful babygirl December ‘25 and expecting a baby boy in December ‘26. Was it planned? Absolutely not. Is it happening? Absolutely. I’m not new to motherhood as I have an 8 year old daughter but I am new to have multiple children and learning to be there for all parties and myself as well. I am also looking for advice on how to juggle two under two, any hacks that worked for you, advice on what helped you and your marriage/partner navigate through this chapter of life.
Thank you guys in advance 🫶🏼🫶🏼

2nd baby

So my parents have both told me today that I should have another baby to benefit my little girl, I would love for her to be a big sister but I have one problem 😂 I don’t have a partner (been single since December 2025), what am I supposed to do in this situation?

Anyone else have any weird random reasons to have another baby? 😂

My husband and I just got erberts and gerberts sandwiches for lunch and I told him it makes me want to have another baby just because the post baby sandwich while in the hospital hits so hard. That thought made me wonder if any one else has had any sort of thought like that as well or some weird reason to make you want another baby.

Ready for baby no 2?

Did anyone struggle with going from 0-1 baby but cope okay going from 1-2?
I’ve found it really difficult but I definitely want more than 1 so not sure when to decide about having baby no 2 & if I’ll cope ok?

Having another

Is it normal or just plain crazy to want another baby after having one? My little girl is only 6 months old but i already want another one. Maybe because my pregnancy wasn't great, but I did enjoy being pregnant.

Not done having babies

Does anyone else feel like they’re not done having babies? I’ve definitely got a touch of the baby blues, of course I’m so so grateful to have my baby here safe and healthy. However, I’m missing the pregnancy and everything that comes with it.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to say I’m done having babies. But my partner is adamant this is the last (however he said this after our last 2 🙈🤣)

I’m interested to know how you and your partners navigated this?

One and done

Hi! I’m 26 y/o and I’m 35 weeks and due in August! I have been anxious throughout this pregnancy and now I’m diagnosed with GAD. I have been wondering if I won’t be able to do this whole pregnancy thing again with a toddler running around. I feel like that’s it. I want to do one and done, also, because of financial reasons as well. In my head, it just doesn’t seem feasible, mentally and financially, that I’d like to have more babies.
