Trying for a second

I thought I’d feel ready to try by now (aiming for a 2.5-3 year age gap) but I still very often have days with my son where I think ‘HOW would I do this pregnant/with a newborn/looking after two kids’. E.g. when he has a tantrum in public, or when he’s poorly or is up loads in the night. Some days are still SO hard and that makes me think I’m not ready. But do you ever feel ready??

I also worry about dividing my time/love/resources between two children. How do you give everything x2?

Maybe I’m overthinking. Any advice from mums with 2 or more children already would be appreciated!

I’m currently 15 weeks and feel the exact same some days🤣 but then I see her with her baby nephew and know she’ll love getting involved with everything so she won’t feel left out x

GBS positive

I got tested to GBS at 36 weeks and was told today at 37 that it’s positive. My doctor told me not to worry at all but I’m still stressed. Please lmk if there’s anything I should be aware of or consider

Having another baby.

Okay I want to hear opinions / experiences on having another baby. I currently have 2 babies and was set with our family, but my husband is making me question if maybe I want one more? I love how our family is now so I don’t want to mess anything up but how is it going from 2-3 kids. A family of 4 is just a good number.

Early positive?

My period didn’t come at its usual time, I thought I started Sunday morning - which would be 5 days late (after having sex the night before) - but I’m usually really heavy, and it really wasn’t. But the little blood I had over the last few days was really dark and brown. I had extreme cramping / pains which I never usually do that bad when I’m on, and yesterday the very very very little dark blood has stopped, so I took a test today and got this 😣 also I usually get sore boobs and tiredness a week before my period but that didn’t happen, although I’ve been extremely tired the last few days where I’ve always been having to take a nap (this happened with my last pregnancy but I was like 2 months along when that began last time) I’ve also started to get the very weird vivid dreams like I did last time but that was a lot further on too! I know I’m probably answering my own questions here but I really don’t know how to feel and kinda hoping this isn’t actually happening right now 😢

Morning after pill help!!

I ovulated around 19th-25th March and stupidly had unprotected sex on 29th (me and hubby never have any time together so clearly got a bit too tipsy!) I took the morning after pill on the 31st and was due in my period 7th April, I’m always pretty regular but I’m now 8 days late, took far too many tests but they are all coming up negative! Anyone else had this and finally came on their period or could I be pregnant despite having negative tests?! 🤦
