Next baby

Anyone already thinking about there next baby? My husband would like to start trying for another the start of next year and debating on if we should just do it or wait a little while. I’d love another but not sure if it’s a good idea so close together or to wait another few years and enjoy it just being our little boy for a while?

It's entirely up to you whenever you feel ready. I've heard that having two children close together can be challenging at first, but it's also incredibly rewarding because they often grow up very close. On the other hand, waiting has its benefits too, as your first child will likely be more independent and self-sufficient. Whatever you decide—whether it's now or later—it's completely your choice, and there's no right or wrong answer.

I don’t know that’s the thing I feel mom guilt even thinking about it because I love it just being our little boy, but also would love another and don’t want a huge gap so they can grow together and be the best of friends

So me and two of my friends had our second babies at the same time. Me and one of them have a 3.5year gap. The other has a 13 month gap. Not saying its not hard for us with the older ones but I think its deffo harder for her with 2 under 2. Baby is now crawling all over the show as the toddler is running off. I think whatever the age gap you're gonna be hit with some struggles cause 2 is hard. But, if I was to do it all over again (which im 100% not doing) id do it with the bigger age gap.
Mine have fell brilliant as my 4 year old is starting primary school at the same time as baby getting her funded hours at nursery and me going back to work. Couldn't have planned it better if we tried 🤣🤣

Very emotional

I have to put my boy in nursery earlier then expected (September) so we can get funding otherwise we will miss the cut of stage. Im feeling so emotional about this. My daughter is also starting big girl school in September and I'm emotional about this. Feels like I'm losing both my children within a week of each other 😭😭

Positive or no?

Does this look positive? I took it 2 days before my expected period. I wanted to get everyone’s thoughts based on their experiences before I go out to buy more tests.

Hi all I’m a little worried as I was given a colostrum collection kit at my 36 midwife app and she said I could start collecting….im 36+2, ive just collected 3full syringes. I then wanted to do some more research on it to see if that’s a normal amount, and it says not to start until 37weeks. Have I just massively f’d up !????
