Mamas, I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions! 🥹

I currently have a nearly 6 month old, and we'd love to have three kids. I'm thinking about having them fairly close together, so I'd love to hear from those of you with 2 or 3 children close in age.

How are you finding it? Is it really as hard as people say, or is it worth it in the long run? 😅

I'm just trying to plan ahead (as much as you can with kids! 😂) and would love to hear your honest experiences; the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Have you ever thought about outliving your children?

It's something I have to think about and hope for with my twins. Just out live them by one day. I have to think about planning what happens if I don't. It goes against what seems natural but that is a lot of disability care.

I have a friend with a 23 year old son with autism and epilepsy, a kind of epilepsy that is high risk for sudden death. It is medically resistant. Now that he is an adult but is still living with her and requires 24hr care she must plan for the day she isn't there. There can be no gaps in care. We plan. She plans. Yet we hope and she hopes to be there until the end. A painful thought.

Is this a positive?

I am 10dpo today, is this a positive test or is the line too faint?

Line progression and my test opinions

I got my first positives on pregmate. I had horrible indents on first response and clear blue while trying to conceive even within the time frames to read them.
If I followed the directions correctly to a T for the pregmate tests, I *never* got a false positive.

I really appreciate this group of women because from your own experiences I knew better about the process and was more patient.

Wishing everyone success and happiness in their baby journey. 🙏🏻❤️

IUD Displacement?

I had an iud inserted about 5 days ago. Since then, I’ve noticed that the strings are kinda hanging out of me by a couple of cm and my cervix is extremely low (I can feel it with my pointer finger, and my fingers are quite small). Is my iud trying to come out, is this normal? I can’t call my office until Tuesday, but I did send them a message through my patient portal.

I’m just freaking out about it and need some good news lol
