Going from one to two

Currently just have my 18 month old. My husband and I have been talking about having a second. He is fully ready to jump in but I am so nervous I won’t be able to love my second as much as I love my first. Or like how I would be able to give enough attention to both. Question how did you know you were ready for your second and did you have any of the same fears?

I was sooooooo scared while pregnant w my second but now my second is 1 and I'm pregnant with my 3rd and it all went so so so well I wish I never worried how I was

I got pregnant 5 months after my baby, I was very afraid of not being able to , but my husband always helps me a lot and we are a great team , my daughter is already 5 months old and her older sister loves her very much and your heart always has a lot of love to give, never leave out your first baby, you just live those moments with him or her and it is wonderful.

I can't paint everything pink because there will be days when you want to run away, but that happens, and if you always count on your husband, everything will be fine, he will have to be your support throughout this trip.

I have three under three- a 13 month gap and a 14 month gap. I spent both of my pregnancies feeling guilty and crying thinking I was ruining my kids lives. But I once they got here I realized it was just my fears talking. The best thing I did was give them each other. We have bad days and man can they have me questioning everything but watching them play and love on each other reminds me that it’s all worth it

Torn between religions and life choices

I was born into a Muslim family and raised to believe Islam was the only way. I was never taught to pray or never understood anything about Allah or the quaran. Though I once thought Islam was peaceful there are many things I do not agree with and the fact I must learn a foreign language just to understand prayer again is something I question. I was forbidden to enter a church or read the bible.
Now as an adult I am completely torn. I have children we ‘raise as Muslim’ despite never praying or understanding anything about Islam. Right now I don’t believe in anything I just know there is a god. I don’t want to go to hell but I don’t know what religion is the real one.
I don’t want to raise my kids the way I was raised I want them to have a religion but then should they wish to investigate other religions or convert them I will support that whole heartedly.
I want to believe. I want to belong. What do I do?

Faint positive at 13DPO??

I thought I was out this cycle, but I’m due on my period today and I didn’t come on. Took this test this evening, and this is the result.

Picture taken a few minutes after the test was done, but would this really be as faint as shown on the day of missed period??

I tested so early just for peace of mind and I see this??? Do you see something? If so, aren’t I too early? My mind is everywhere. Advice please!

Is this dark enough for how many weeks I am?

I’m sorry girlies. I’m probably expecting too much so early on.

I’m reading so much about “dye stealers” and mine are like this. It’s worrying me. I’m smashing through the tests waiting to see a darker line.

Granted this is a cheapie, my clear blue ones have said “1-2 weeks”. I used a clear blue on Monday (when I first found out) and then this morning.

I’m hoping it’ll say “2-3 weeks” next week for some reassurances

In the mean time, the cheapie/traditional ones are this faint 😩.

4 weeks 6 days xxx
