Thoughts on Stay At Home Dads?

Do you respect them? Do you love them? Do you think they are shirking their role in the family, or do you think they are stepping up? Do they make you uncomfortable in child focused spaces? Would your partner be comfortable with you and your kids spending time together? Would you go on playdates with one? Should they be welcome in SAHM communities, or do they need to make own communities?

I think a family that bends and goes with the flow of whats best for their family is amazing. If a Mom is the higher paid person, there is no reason a Dad cant stay home. I admire that! I personally would think he'd be more comfortable in a specific group for stay at home dad's, so he too can make connections, but I'd do group play dates with one. They need the same supports as us Moms do.

I honestly respect the f*** out of SAHM DADS because my husband was one last year June-Nov for medical reasons. Despite him feeling down on his luck & feeling depressed about not getting job callbacks he always came through for our son 🤍💙 you name it he was there. Every doctor appointments, hospital visits & the list goes on. Now, as for communities I think they should have their own just like we have ours💙🤍

Going from 2 to 3 kids

Please only answer if you have 3+ kids! We have 2 kids currently and are very on the fence about having a third, we go back and forth. Going from 1 to 2 was very hard for me. But people tell me “the 3rd just slots in”, which I don’t know if I believe.

If you have 3+, what transition was harder for you?

Faint Lines Opinions

I am two days late, I tested on Tuesday and got these two faint lines. Today I tested again and got another line, but even fainter. In my previous pregnancies I've had very strong lines by now, which makes me doubt myself. Do you think it could be a false positive, or a chemical maybe? Has anyone else had lines this faint so late, which resulted in a positive?

TTC

Decided to use the clear blue strips this month and I hit the solid smiley face today.
I never quite know for sure, but can ovulation : pre ovulation feel like a stich?

About to start

Hello, I am about to start my first IVF cycle. I had been quite calm and level headed. But the last few days I’ve gone into complete overdrive and overthinking and petrified. Any tips massively welcome

Opinions

I got this line this afternoon and it came up pretty much instantly within the first 3 minutes. However all tests the afternoon have been negative so do you think it was just a faulty test? I’m due my period tomorrow.

2nd Baby

Hi all,

Recently found out I'm pregnant with my second after a long time TTC. I really want to enjoy it but oh my the anxiety is through the roof.

Is anyone else doing progression tests? How is this looking?

I never did this with my first or allowed myself to worry about anything but can't stop this time round.

Currently 4+3 so still so early. Scan booked for 7 weeks 🤞
