I just had my third but the age gaps between my first and second are 13 months and my second and third are 14 months. We thought it would take longer to conceive our second as it took us several months to get our first but we got pregnant first try. And then we loved the age gap so much we did it again.

There’s just less than 3 years between my babies, mainly because we moved country.
It’s a fun age gap but whatever you decide will end up being right and the children will form an amazing bond❤️

I want one now, but im ignoring the urge for at least a year lol

My husband and I just had our baby. She is 7 weeks. He wants them to be closer in age. I could care less but I want another.

Broody for more kids

This might sound mad but had my second baby a week ago and all i keep thinking is how I want loads more kids 😂 is this just hormones? I don't know if I'm just enjoying it more this time round but I can't imagine never doing this again!! Anyone else or am I crazy 😂

Body views

This is my second baby, one thing that always bothers me and I never really hear other people discussing - so maybe no one else feels the same - is how we go from feeling the most beautiful in our body (late pregnancy) to literally days later feeling a bit confused and upset when I look at my own body (post birth).

I know my body won’t look like this forever, but the odd squishiness and shape of my belly, angry looking red stretch marks, the extra weight in random places on my body that’s still to shed, engorged boobs, for me a C-section scar etc. It’s a hard shift for me mentally to go from the high confidence and self esteem to feeling a bit disconnected with my own body.

Possible pre eclampsia/HELLP

Hi all, I have been quite unwell the last week and triage doctors are taking things quite seriously now and I'm getting a bit scared.

I started with mild on off headaches, nausea/loss of appetite, dizziness and been suffering with night sweats/shivers and horrendous heart burn over the weekend. Didn't feel baby much over 12 hours or so, so went in to get checked.

No high blood pressure or protein in urine, however I do have raised liver enzymes and declining platelets (even from my bloods 3 days ago).

I am due to move house 3 hours away in a weeks time and will be 35 weeks tomorrow.

Has anyone had similar symptoms and it been something else or any experience of the conditions and what were the outcomes. I am so anxious, don't even have my hospital bags packed 🫠
