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?

I have a mixed raced baby š¶š½ never experienced this, donāt really think people would assume its not yours as we live in a diverse society x so donāt stress too much x

Like this is a legit concern you have?

I donāt understand the āplease donāt judgeā part of your post.
But the rest, in my experience
Iām mixed black and white, my son is mixed black, white, Korean. The few people who have asked or said anything to me get whatever mood Iām in. Some times Iāll say, āoh I just found himā others I just smile and walk away or I say āmade him myselfā itās really not something I encounter much even being in a place that is predominantly white. You donāt have to answer anything to anyone.

Well first of all I've definitely seen some unfortunate looking mixed babies/kids and i have never heard of anyone questioning the parentage. Also, sounds like you may not have this "problem" anyway depending on who the father is. I'm hoping it's not a mixed baby since you already seem to have trouble even thinking about being the mom of a biracial child.. It's not that time consuming to say thank you while passing someone in the cereal aisle. I have 4 kids under 7 and my husband is 7ft tall and we're able to live a normal life even though people talk to us everywhere we go.

Yes, I literally had a guy say, āoh this is YOUR baby?!ā To me lol. Or people will make comments on her hair being black (because apparently itās such a shock that my daughter wouldnāt be fair haired like me).
People are nosy and a lot of other white people in particular (from what Iāve observed) have trouble comprehending mixed babies and then get curious to the point of nosiness. Itās up to you how much info you share. Even a simple āsheās mineā is fine. You donāt have to be polite or over-explain.
Iām white but have been starting to learn about mixed experiences so I have a better understanding of what my daughter may go through. Iāve learned itās important for a lot of mixed people to learn they have agency in how much info they share about themselves too, particularly regarding their background. You, nor your child as this starts to become a situation, owe anybody anything.
NOT that being mixed is shameful, I just mean if people are being invasive.

Youāre worried people will ask you who the baby belongs to and you donāt know who the dad is?
Is that what Iām reading?

Is your concern that your child will be discriminated against or that you donāt know your childās father? In your āconcernāyou yourself are coming off racist? What are we going to judge? The fact that the father is maybe black? Is this rage bait?
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?

Iām really sad. Weād 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 thereās no way weād be lucky enough to conceive again.

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? š¬
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).

I took this test this morning and this is the result I took a picture and sent it to my friend as weāre 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 Iām confused

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 ?

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.
Iām on cyclogest, twice daily. Iāve 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.
