I am not getting pressure from others yet probably because I have a 3 month old boy and he is not doing much so wont be able to comment on that. But sometimes i do find myself under pressure wondering how to raise a well mannered, respectful boy, who knows how to keep a happy family. I try to not let these thoughts consume me but I believe my thoughts stem from my experience so far with men.

Potentially a sticky situation…

Hey! I’m 21 with a nearly 5m old little boy. Friday 7th me and my fiancé did the deed and I started ovulating on Saturday 9th (we both thought we’d be “safe” considering I had literally just finished my period. What are the chances of pregnancy? My partner says he isn’t sure if he’d be ready for another, which I totally understand but we’ve had 3 losses previously and I don’t think I could ever bring myself to have an ab*rtion for many reasons x

Feeling: sad

My Husband and I have had our final baby. We were the first on both of our families to have the first baby, so we bought all the things like moses baskets, next to me’s, bouncers etc. when we had no use for them anymore, there was always a family member/friend to pass them on to, knowing they were nearby and would come back to us when not needed by others. Our next to me has held 5 babies through their first months of life. Now we’ve just had our final baby, and he’s outgrown all the newborn things, and we find ourselves with no friends/family members to pass them on to. We made the decision to donate them all, as they’d already been donated around our close circle we don’t want to charge someone for them, and I find myself so emotional. This time I know they won’t come back to us, they’ll house another baby who we’ll never know. I’m really struggling with letting them go for sentimental reasons, although I know they’re better serving someone else than gathering dust in storage. To whoever gets them, I wish you and your baby the happiest, healthiest and most loving life possible ❤️

Timing your pregnancies after 30

So I started late and didn’t have my first till I was 32. I turn 33 in a couple days. My husband and I want two more, but I initially wanted to wait till our first one is potty-trained (she’s 1) before having another. But I can’t stop this nagging feeling that we should just go for it now due to the fact that I’m gonna keep aging anyway, and if we wanna meet that goal of 3 kids i don’t want to make it harder on my body than it already will be. We didn’t have any trouble getting pregnant the first time. Does anyone have experience as far as having this many kids a bit older? How hard is the transition from 1 to 2 to 3 kids? Thanks!

Do you know the difference between IUI and IVF?

I recently came to find out that my own mother and my elder stepdaughter both thought I went through IVF, even though throughout the IUI process I talked about the mechanics of it and how it differs from IVF. I also mentioned several times that my husband and I decided that if we did multiple IUIs without conceiving, we wouldn’t pursue IVF.

I also didn’t have to do the intense prep or egg retrieval, which both would’ve been noticeable and I would’ve talked about it during the process.

I wonder if they just have terrible memories and even though they did know the difference at the time, they have since formed false memories based on the more widely known procedure.
