How do you cope?

Hi mamas, my husband and I have a 7 month old and we would like to have more children but I am afraid if I can cope. My family don't live in this country and his is still a 40minute drive away so we don't have much help. Just wanted to hear from you how has it been and how do you cope with 2 under 2?

I got pregnant again when my son was 3 months old.. he is now 1 and my daughter is 9 month old. I still don’t know how to cope.. I’m just doing it day by day

I coped with little to no family support it’s alot but I actually love how close they are in age as they are best friends - hard part is hard but the good outweighs the bad massively

I got pregnant when my first was 10 months old

my family live 5 hours away i fell pregnant when my first was 3 months old, i didn’t know how i was ever going to cope, but you do and day by day you say wow i can do this and when you see their bond hear them laughing its a feeling that just warms you. do i long for a break yes absolutely its tough going some days but all the good makes you realise how amazing it is. i have no village no help just me and my partner who works but i wouldn’t change any of it for the world best thing i ever did was give my son his brother!!! xx

Feeling overwhelmed

So i am white and the father most likely is black. (Please don't judge) i feel like i'm gonna get all the time while out with the baby "awh, how cute! Who's baby is it?" Any other biracial moms get this and how did you handle the situation?

No Baby This Month

I’m really sad. We’d decided to start trying for our second baby and timed everything perfectly. At what would have been 10 DPO, I got my period. Some days, it feels like there’s no way we’d be lucky enough to conceive again.

Welp.

It was hard to get the line on camera. It's SO FAINT. I had a negative test on Nov 2 in the evening but this today. I'm going to get some first response to try that... But does anyone else see it? 😬

This would be #5, and I was taking BC. But I had weird light period or bleeding Oct. 11-15 after having my period Sept 28-Oct 2, but assumed the Oct 11-15 was a weird period so took the "period" pills so wondering if I somehow messed myself all the way up and ended up pregnant after that (I've only been on BC a few months and take it every day). Idk. I'm just panicking I guess. Like I said... I'll be grabbing some first response regardless but wanted to see if anyone else saw it (it was easier to see in person and now that it's dry it's definitely there but I know that no longer counts).

What’s going on??

I took this test this morning and this is the result I took a picture and sent it to my friend as we’re both trying for baby no2 and she congratulated me where I did see a faint line. But the more I looked at it I saw a evaporation line but that 2nd line appeared before the control line did so I’m confused

TTC again or wait longer?

My husband thinks we should try again soon. My son is 1 year old and it took us a year to conceive because of PCOS and im 35. He said we should get the ball rolling incase it takes a long time and with my age but what if it doesn't and we get preg soon?! Also dont they advise to wait 18 months ?

Test help

Hi everyone

I tested positive on Monday morning a day before my period was due. Dates worked out 4weeks 4 days today I think

I have tested every morning since (and yesterday afternoon), this would be a much wanted rainbow baby. The tests are all the same brand.

I have had 4 early miscarriages, 1 ectopic and I have found out that I have a unicornuate uterus.

I’m on cyclogest, twice daily. I’ve had no pain or bleeding. I have a reassurance scan 21/11/26.

I have been horrifically exhausted for a few days, and some nausea this morning (probably just anxiety)

Should I contact EPAU about the tests not getting darker? Or am I worrying about nothing.
