Has anyone else's children struggled settling into Reception

Tell us more… 💕

I’m wondering if any other mums have been through something similar with their little one starting Reception.

My daughter has recently started Reception and she’s really struggling to settle in. She’s finding the whole change quite overwhelming and it’s been difficult emotionally, especially as she’s also got some health issues which can make things a little harder for her.

As a mum, I’m finding it really difficult seeing her struggle and I’m not sure what’s normal “settling in” and what might be a sign that she genuinely isn’t coping well.

Has anyone else been through a difficult Reception transition? How long did it take your child to settle, and what helped them? ❤️

I’d really love to hear other mums’ experiences, especially if your child had a particularly difficult start.

Boundaries when baby is here

How is everyone going about telling family members about when they want visitors, and not kissing baby. I didn’t fuss to much with my first born as she was born during Covid and no one could come round and obviously there frequent testing when sick, but now being due in a few weeks and it coming into cold and flu season, I just don’t feel comfortable with it, especially because all family members are around kids and we all know how kids catch everything 😂

Blood Type

Does anyone else have a negative blood type?

I’m O Negative (my partner is O but we don’t know positive or negative). They will test my blood again at the dating scan and predict the baby’s blood type. Has anyone had or been told they will have to have anti D injections for different blood types?

Scared to take a pregnancy test

Hey,
So I am almost a year into my TTC journey and my period is late. I want to take a test but I'm scared about seeing another negative test. My mental health has definitely been impacted by the TTC journey. Please can I have some encouragement/support. Should I take one or keep waiting - I'm about 3-4 days late.

Is this normal?

Hi ladies.
First pregnancy here. So a little inexperienced.

Found out Monday with a clear blue “1-2 weeks pregnant”.
I’ve bought some of the basic dip tests now so that I can test every few days to make sure the line is getting darker. Anyway did first one today.

The line is soooo faint.

I think I’m panicking a little as I was expecting it to be a bit darker after having such a “pregnant 1-2 weeks” in plain writing.

But then again… novice here - would it even be this dark so early on?

By medical standards I’m 4 weeks 4 days (going from the first day of my last period).

I’m probably expecting a bit too much xx

I have a 22 month old but my body is telling me have another

I wanted to wait until he was 3 for another but I went through such a weird thing where I was craving another baby. Didn't help that I had dreams too. At first I thought "oh ovulation" but then it lasted for a month and more and I knew it was not ovulation.

Anyone else had the same feeling
