I have encountered recurring instances where family members express an intention to contribute to my baby registries, only to subsequently fail to follow through.
Despite my efforts to share these registries, these empty commitments lead to later inquiries regarding the lack of necessary supplies for the children. While my partner and I proactively manage to build it up little by little, I find it frustrating when individuals make commitments they do not intend to fulfill.

I hope you receive this gently, but when you decide to have a child or grow your family in general, even though it takes a village to support that child it is ultimately is your responsibility to get the necessary items for them. If others help that’s awesome but most people are all talk and no action. I ran into the same issue with my first child and ultimately bought all of the necessary items he needed ourselves. And then save everything for my next child. It’s not always like that I know a lot of families who help a lot but at the end of the day if you want something done right you’ll have to do it yourself.
Again I hope you receive this message with love. ❤️🩹🫂

My sister in law had a baby shower, everyone went and got her so much stuff. Then my mother in law helped her with her nursery. No one helped with ours. Family who got her stuff, didn't get us anything nor have asked about my pregnancy. We have sent our registry out and we have had some people buy things, but really it was mainly just us. Thats why I started buying things months ago and just slowly was buying things bc I was worried we would scram at the end. Im grateful for the people who have given/bought us things etc. But you still have time and maybe people will come around and get something! And if they dont, then thats okay too! Its okay to want help and people buying things to help you prepare for the baby feels like you have support and that people care.
Are these good tests? I’m only early and it’s super faint but I’m worried they all have faint lines on them.
Thank you 🫶🏽

So I’ve just in the last 48 hours found out I’m pregnant, I’ve had 5 positive tests all very light lines but clearly visible and one digital that said pregnant. When should I call my GP? I’m not due my period until Friday

I’m so confused, I did a lh test this morning which was dark. I’m meant to be 8/9DPO.
Also did a FRER but I can’t see much.
What’s going on?

I know they say the probability is super low but I’m just feeling off. I think it’s just anxiety and my period should be coming soon. Just wanna see how many people have actually experienced it (if any).
