Would you allow a relative without any experience of looking after children to take your just turned 3 year old out without you?

For context, he is my brother, 30 years old and no kids or experience with kids. He has offered to take my son out so I can catch some rest while pregnant, but we don't see him regularly as he lives a couple hours away and is often busy. I don't know if it is pregnancy hormones but I feel anxious about him taking my kid out as I feel he doesn't understand enough about how to keep a toddler safe (roads, hazards, choking, etc).

Positive or negative birth?

Hey everyone, this will be my first baby and I feel pretty anxious about the birth because it seems like the majority of women's experiences are negative. So I just wanted to check, is that really true?! Only gives me 4 boxes, add in comments any other answers ☺️

Faint positive?

My period is due today, was negative at first glance then after a couple of mins I felt like I could see a line?? Could it be a faulty test / evaporation line or faint positive?

Collecting colostrum ?

Has anyone started to try and collect colostrum yet? If so have you been successful?

Baby 2 ttc?

How long did it take you to conceive baby 2? I. Currently 32 and baby 1 is 18 months old. Thinking about stopping preventing in a few months so that would be a minimum of 2.5 year gap if it happened straight away but ideally want a gap closer to 3 years for childcare costs but if it takes awhile I would also prefer a gap less than 4 years so thats my thoughts on starting earlier

Do you wish you realised when you had a 2nd child that family don’t like to look after both?

One no one talks about or none of these family members warned us about lol!

Both my family and in laws are so ‘woah wait’ when it comes to looking after both the kids. Don’t assume we palm them off our instances have been for medical appointments etc.

I just saw a woman pregnant with her 3rd like I’ve lost my village because she has 3 and again no one will look after more than 1 of the kids.
