Will also add im not talking about a big announcement just literally how to tell close relatives
What do you mean? The same way you’d tell them about the others! Nothing wrong with having a big family, babies are blessings so tell them happily!
Girl tell them how you told them about the other ones! If you worried about shame DONT BE! Kids are a gift from God and as long as you are loving and caring about them that’s all that matter!
Just send them a pic after the baby gets here 🤷🏾♀️lol
I mean, I guess it depends on circumstances.
Yes it’s okay to have a big family, and hats off to those who can.
I could see people being hesitant to say something for a few different reasons: if their PP experiences have continuously been hard, if they’re clearly relying on others for help financially, or to provide because the couple is struggling to, if one is having babies with every boyfriend they get, etc.
But I mean.. if you’re stable, and you’re raising your own kids and taking care of them.. if they don’t like it, tell them where to stick it.

Do you yell at your kids?
I grew up in a Hispanic household and yelling was normal. Now having children of my own I feel bad when I yell at them, but also feel it’s necessary when I’ve tried the calm way. Just wondering if it’s “ normal” or definitely something I need to correct.

Hey,
Has anyone had the mirena coil fitted post baby and had any issues?
I felt for a few weeks it’s not been right and told it was just adapting to it (had on prior to baby for 9+ years so I knew this was aloud of rubbish) but the coil has come out.
If been told by the dr who inserted it that it’s normal for it to come out post baby but I feel it’s a cop out 🙄

Definitely was being tested last night 😅
Was trying to decide yesterday if I'm definitely okay with only having 2 kids and should send my husband to the gp to discuss his vasectomy as planned or if i will want to have more kids (was fully going down the maybe i could try one more time for a vbac rabbit hole and thinking about how I always wanted a sister and maybe i could try give my daughter one instead, i was thinking about what names work well with Ronan and Melissa etc) but then Ro started vomiting last night and my husband and I had to divide and conquer and man I feel like ive been hit by a truck 🙈😅 i don't know how those of you with more than 2 kids do this 😬😬😬 whoever oversees humanity was definitely listening to me yesterday and thought okay girl I'm just going to give you a little reality check here

Someone be my eyes!
I took tests this morning (I am around 11DPO) and one was slow to start so I took another one. One looks negative and the slow one looks positive? I will retest tomorrow but I’m confused now. Also what are the best early tests because I’m finding these Amazon ones hard to read.
This is the one that was slow to start

Donor Baby💕
Hi. My beautiful baby girl Brinley is nearly 4 months old. Me and my partner (trans male) conceived her via donor. Our donor is half Argentinian and half Israeli. We want to find the best way to bring her up, knowing about her culture but without being insensitive as we wont ever know what its like to grow up mixed race.
I welcome any and all advice (as long as its brought with kindess)
