Sadness

I’m giving my baby up for adoption and I feelll so sad I want to keep my child but financially I can’t do it and I don’t have no support my mother helps with the kids I have now it’s not like the help that I need. She doesn’t watch them Nothing all she do is be there and I can’t really put responsibilities on her because she is not their father I already have three kids, and this will be my fourth. I feel like such a letdown and a failure.

So your giving up your baby for adoption but keeping your other kids? As a single mom who gets no help at all I totally get being overwhelmed but don’t give up your child

How old is your child?

Coming from a mama who has no support. There are so many options and resources for single mamas. If your mom is willing to help with 3, she will help with 4. I can help you find resources if you send me a message. Don’t give up your baby, I’m praying for you 🩷

I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. If you want your baby, keep your baby. The Lord will make it all workout for you. In Him you will find the strength you need. Have you looked into government assisted daycare? I’ve had friends on it and they said without it they don’t know what they’d do. They cover daycare for free. I know it might not be the best option in the world but it’s an option. Eventually they’ll be in school and you can work during those hours. Try to get as much government help as you can, that’s what it’s there for. You deserve to keep your babies mama ♥️ Don’t strip this away from yourself xx

Where’s the father’s??

Think about what’s best for yourself. A newborn is a lot to take care for especially having more kids to take care of. It’s your choice at the end of the day. Love is also sacrificing. You can have open adoption so you know your child is still with you. Take the help. Take the stress off of yourself. Your baby needs to be loved and needs all the attention. If you have the energy and help for the baby then it’s your choice to keep him/her. But if you know you cant and it’s too much you have other options. Love yourself and take the help so you can have the energy to give to yourself.

Missed miscarriage?

Hi all, I know nobody can diagnose me but looking for advice/opinions as I’m not sure what to do! My last period would date me at 6w 5d, last week on Thursday, I went for a viability scan to check pregnancy was in utero but they couldn’t find the pregnancy, told me to come back in a week as may have ovulated late. I first tested positive a week ago, 13 days late on my period and it said 1-2 weeks on clear blue. I have done another clear blue today and it still says 1-2 weeks. With my first daughter, I got 1-2 weeks a week before my period was even due so it seemed weird that I didn’t test positive until so late into my cycle. With my daughter, the line went from super faint to really defined and dark in 3 days, I have done another strip test today and there is barely any progression in the last 5 days (pics in comments). I just have a feeling something is wrong!

Pricing

I know everyone’s IVF experience is completely different but just looking for anyone to share any experiences they have. I have the option of two clinics to choose from so either Glasgow royal fertility clinic or the GRMC in Glasgow. Would the pricing be similar with both clinics or would one tend to be more expensive? Also would anyone recommend the PGT-A testing? This is bumping the pricing up dramatically but I am wondering if this would be a better option than doing a transfer and it not working. Really not sure what to do.
