Induction date

I’m 38 + 2 and due to family matters I’m so worrying to get past my due date and being alone with no help. I have currently a 2.5 years old and my husband lost his dad a few days ago. His mom, which supposed to look after our daughter, lives 3 hours drive and now she’s going through mental health problems, my family is abroad and they can’t be here unfortunately. Anyone else in my same position? I’m not sure yet when the funeral it’s gonna be etc so I’m just stressing out a lot to be on my own when it happens, I think the best solution would be if they would give me an induction date? I’m so afraid I don’t know what to do 😞😭🥹🙏🏼

Do you have any friends, brothers/sisters or close neighbours who can have your child while you give birth? If not, have a look around for last minute/emergency Nannie’s or carers. My sisters work in that sector and put their profiles on sites, a lot of people are super happy to do last minute work🩷as for the funeral and stuff, I’m pretty sure that’s like 2 weeks after the loss, which will likely clash with 40 weeks when you’re due. Which is super super difficult. Maybe discuss with him and his family if there’s any way they can delay the funeral until you’ve had baby so that your partner isn’t torn on what situation to attend? That’s all I can think of. Being induced carry’s risks & you don’t want to be having it just because you feel it’s the last option, you still need to do what’s best for you.

Ive opted for my 2nd home birth as we havent got friends or family in our new place we live in so we have had to accept that if the our 2 toddlers need their dad ill be birthing with the midwives alone and also if i had to go hospital ill be going alone, its very strange,

I could only suggest talking to your husband and both of you coming to an arrangement as i am sure everyone wants a safe arrival xx

Need advice

Has anyone had their older kids given more attitude or get in trouble more with a new born?

Generational gap and issues with parents

My mother is here visiting my husband and I. She helps with a few household chores etc. I have problems with low milk supply and excessive formula supplementation. I’m trying to establish breast feeding but I don’t make enough milk. So I pump in addition to triple feed my baby.

My mother washed the pump parts and assembled them incorrectly. I wasted 45 min pumping and getting next to nothing in milk output. I told her that. She said if I don’t like her being here she will go back home. She said I should reschedule her tickets. Oh well..

The more grown I am, now with a 2 month old baby boy, I am starting to realize that my mother actually is of little help towards me. This is a sad realization but I don’t think I intend to visit or see her again once she leaves. She may not come back to visit us again also.

Has anyone else felt distanced from their mothers due to generational age gap, cultural biases, changing expectations and different standards of living? My mother lives in India.

Do I want it more than him?

I have...

Had 2 transvaginal ultrasounds
Attended fertility expos
Used conception cups post-ejaculation
Tracked my BBT
Peed on OPKs
Checked and logged mucus consistency
Quit my job for less stress
Taken the 2 supplements 3 times a day
Conceived and lost my 1 and only baby.

He takes a supplement and goes to the pub. He's older than me. Has 2 grown up kids from a previous marriage. Loves me and says he wants this but his actions make me feel alone in this.

10 years TTC.

When did you get a positive test?

First baby was a surprise so this is my first experience ttc. Currently 8dpo and I see people getting faint positives on tiktok but mine was negative this morning with fmu. What did you get your first positive?

I’m pregnant again

I don’t know what to do, around 2 AM me and my friend(who’s a mom to eight month old baby girl and I’m in Mom to a five month baby boy) we took pregnancy test as a joke and her came back negative but mine came back positive. It is currently 6 AM and I have taken over 10 test. I don’t know what to do. I was not prepared or anything and I don’t have the money for a second child right now.
