Major disagreement

I honestly can’t believe my husband right now. He flat out said that the fact that women who are getting older makes it more difficult to get pregnant makes it imperative to start trying to have kids (or more of them) if you want more, regardless of if if you are feeling ready for them because it’s more difficult every year

He’s referring to the "biological clock ".

Two ways to look at it really. Its not good to try for a baby if you dont feel ready for another. But he isnt wrong about the biological clock (and secondary infertility is also a thing) so he is kind of saying it could take a long time to get pregnant again, so start trying earlier to factor that in. Problem with the latter is that you could fall pregnant the month you start trying (theres no way of knowing), and then you would be pregnant, not ready, and possibly a bit resentful about it

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).

Is this negative?

Is there a faint line or no?

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?

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 ☺️
