With my first took 18 months, BUT my second was literally the first month of trying.

Took 3 years for me to have my little boy and he was worth the wait

First, wasn't taking the pill as I should have, so maybe a couple weeks, days for my second that I actually planned for, third was on the pill.

9 years, figured it took so long first time it wouldnt happen again... I got pregnant again when my first was 13 months.

infertility n ttc for 4 plus years. then had a hsg that cleared out my tubes. concieved the first cycle after it. first time pregnancy

Took me 7 months when ttc for my first at 36 yo. So thankful for my little one. Hoping for one more before I turn 40!

Once with my first. Four years for the second. About a year and a half for my third.

7 months with our first, and he died at 13.5 weeks.

11 months with our second (including 4 failed fertility treatments) which resulted in our son

3 months with our third which died at 11 weeks

It took 3 months after my IUD was removed, but I wasn’t really TTC

5-6 months

1 month with first one. Nearly year and half with second

4 months for 1st baby
2 months for 2nd baby
21 months for 3rd baby- clomid & secondary infertility
Still trying for our 4th had 2 MC since 2023 2 failed IUI’s, clomid and now going on 1 year and a half taking letrozole. Secondary infertility sucks!!

It has taken me anywhere from 2-4 months with each pregnancy. I’ve been pregnant 4x total and 2 have ended in miscarriage around 6-7 weeks.

Is 37 too late to have a baby

Been wanting to have another baby I’ve trying for a year and my periods have changed is it too late? Does anyone have any tips or suggestions

FIL wants a copy of baby’s birth certificate

I’m due to register my baby officially soon and my boyfriend’s dad has asked for his own original copy of the birth certificate…? I found this so weird because what is he able to do with this document. I don’t want to give it to him
I’m very confused as to why he would even request this or am I overthinking things

What should I do? Would you give it to him …

(Me and my partner live together and are doing well there no animosity between us )

Positive

I’m having such a hard time believing my test is positive. I had a period on the 11th that was heavy for the full length and negative pregnancy test. My only symptoms are constant nausea and sore boobs fatigue. I’ve tested a few times next to the max line and it’s positive is that a real positive… I feel like I’m going insane…

Testing

Does this look like a true positive I don’t want to get my hopes up I’m nervous

Regret having a child?

I hope to hear honest things. Is having a child as rewarding as what they portray? Who wish they could go back and be child free?

‘Lazy parents’ do exist.

If you’re not a lazy parent, it’s not about you. I don’t known why people get so defensive about this.

There are hundreds, thousands of lazy parenting in the world. Throwing around “we’re all trying our best” is defending bad parenting.

Example,
If you can assess that your child isn’t ready for potty training or if you have tried and it didn’t go to plan. Obviously you aren’t what people are referring to when they talking about lazy parents. But that doesn’t take away from the fact there are parents that can’t be bothered to parent.
