Do you think people who put their children in nursery/with nanny full time Mon-Fri are selfish?

Most times parents who both work full time have to leave their children with someone else.

What do you think of this? Do you think it’s selfish for them to add another?

Do people who think it’s selfish feel that way because it’s not mum looking after them (mum is full time) or is it because it’s specifically nursery?

Difficult question.

Do I think children are better off being at home with a loving, healthy (no drugs alcohol abuse etc) parent than at nursery…yes.

Do I think being selfish is always a bad thing…no.
Do I think immediate carers need to be able to fill their own cup so they can fill their child’s to the best extent… yes.

I think there’s a lot of layers to it. Yes, a bit selfish. But that does not necessarily mean it is a bad thing to be selfish, sometimes.

GTT test / c section

I am currently 23+5 and I had a GTT test at 17weeks and that was negative however I now need another one and I’m so stressed that this one will be positive 😬

I have spoken to my consultant today and he has said that if it is positive I will be induced at 37 weeks so that will
Make my chances of a c section higher and I really do not want another one!!

Has anyone else had a GTT positive in a previous pregnancy but not in this one?

Currently on Mounjaro but planning to get pregnant late next month

Anyone got pregnant while on mounjaro? I want to take one more dose next week but heard you should wait a month before trying so it should be out of your system.

Not sure if I should take one more dose on the 23rd of June. My fertile window starts 21st of July - 1st of August.

Or should I just stop now? Only thing is I want to be slim before I get pregnant as it was difficult when I wasn’t the last time.

Thanks for your advice!

Getting pregnant

How long did it take you to get pregnant after you came off the Depo injection? I also suffer with Endometriosis so would like anyone’s advice and how long it took for you to fall pregnant.
