How to handle 2 under 2?!

Hi. I have a 16 month old daughter and second baby is due in November. We are relocating out of London within the next month or so and my husband is starting a new business. This wasn't a planned pregnancy at all so it's pretty overwhelming. Just want some reassurance that I'll be able to manage 2 kids under 2 without any help? I know it will be very challenging but any advice or tips will be immensely helpful. I'm still exclusively BF my first child and would like to do the same with the second. Am I being unrealistic? Especially as my first born is currently not going to nursery/day care and I don't intend to send her till she's 2+.

I’m gonna have a 15 month gap between mine and tbh I just keep telling myself anything is doable (hard but doable). People do this all the time and I feel like we will find our own ways of doing things and find our own routine, we’re stronger than we know and will get through it 😅x

I also don’t intend on sending my first to nursery until he’s at least 2!

Yeah that's what I keep telling myself too but it's not going to be easy at all :( we're moving to a completely new city where we won't know ANYONE + husband will be totally focused on the new business. Also my first born is super attached, constantly demands attention and hardly plays on her own. So I'm not sure how I'll go about entertaining her all day whilst looking after a newborn, in addition to the routine house chores. I really don't want my first child's routine to change as a new sibling + move will already be so overwhelming for her. So yeah.. not sure what's going to happen but I guess I'll just have to take it one day at a time!

Positive?

I did one yesterday and had a faint line and had this morning. Worried it’s not getting much darker??

Can someone help me? Please read 😭💔

I'm looking for someone to help me decifer some awful news that I received from the Dr's. I had a fit test that came back positive for blood in my poo. It was 15

They wanted a repeat test and it came back four times higher than the previous result last week, it's now 61.

I have a horrible feeling I know what the cause is. I've experienced a lot of weight loss and vomiting these past few months. I've got an urgent appointment with my Dr next week but I can't wait that long. Can someone eitheir be honest with me (I know there's lots of medical professionals on here, myself included) or reassure me. I'm in peices rn 😭💔

I’m so confused! Please help

Yes I am delulu but I can see a very faint line in all of these tests apart from the bottom one. But these were taken between 8-11dpo & no change. I think I’m probably not pregnant but why are they positive?! All lines were apparent within the timeframe.
I had a mmc in January & have had one period since.
Please help!

Lh

When do you think I will ovulate? Have I missed my peak? So confused 😕 my highest reading was this morning but still classed as 'low' on premom. Any advice please? X

Period…

My period returned about 3 months ago but it’s so unpredictable😭 My tracker app says 5 days late… but yesterday and today I’ve had ovulation pain/aching and lots of clear discharge (TMI sorry!)
I don’t want to be buying a pregnancy test every month🤣🤣
I’m breastfeeding, so it makes sense that my hormones are just all over the place…
Just seems weird to be ovulating now!!

Pcos secondary infertility?

Hi ladies, I have pcos and after a year of trying we did two round of Letro and got pregnant. Per the pre sticks ( which ik aren’t always accurate for pcos but have gotten progesterone checked at day 21 and have been around 10 before Letro and like 18 after Letro) I have always ovulated.

I’m on my third round of Letro and it’s day 25 and still no ovulation. I’m kind of just spiraling that I am extra broken now and will never be able to get pregnant again. Anyone else go through this? 😭
