I’ve been wanting another baby since my LO was 9 months old lol! He’s 17 months now and we are likely to be in a position to be trying soon. I’m so excited by the thought but also feel so guilty that he won’t be our only baby anymore? Why do I feel like I’m letting him down?? Does this mean I should wait a bit?

Hey so my April baby is my second. I have a 2y4m age gap. Started trying when my oldest was 17 months and got pregnant when she was 20/21 months.
From the moment my first was born I knew I wanted another. She was a textbook easy baby.
Pregnancy with a toddler was hard. I was sick from start to finish like my first, and the tiredness in pregnancy was relentless because I couldn't just sleep with her and I also worked full time.
I prepared her by letting her feel my tummy, come to midwife appts, and seeing/playing with all the baby stuff. She also got some books about siblings. By the time he came she was excited.
I had so much guilt about whether it was the right thing to do or not. And how I could share my love or if my daughter would get jealous etc.
We are 17 months in and had ups abd downs. Daughter has become an amazing big sister. My heart is so full and I dont regret it. We are tired, we are chaotic, we are overwhelmed and overstimulated most days but I wouldnt change it for the world. X
We already have the system in place, a petition has been started to see if we can use the emergency text alerts for missing children. Imagine if you could immediately have millions of eyes out and ready looking for your child if god forbid they go missing.

Would you say this is positive? ChatGPT seems to think it is but I can’t tell

I need advice. I placed a Copper IUD in my home country as I was flying there for a gyno check up after giving birth. But I’ve had 4 menstrual cycles with it, and I’m bleeding like a river. Where do I call or request to take my IUD out and replace with the marine hormonal one?

Hello. Looking for any advice on what people have found works, to prep for collection and transfer? Whilst trying naturally I’ve been taking supplements and trying to prioritise fertility foods, I’ve been off caffeine and alcohol for over 6 months.. but nothing seemed to help. Wasn’t sure if there was ivf specific prep people swear by! Thanks
