4 weeks and 4 days today! Our double rainbow after two chemicals 🌈🌈. If anyone has any tips to manage the nerves as we wait to get to 12 weeks please throw them my way 💕

What’s everybody’s thoughts on them? Don’t want this to be a negative post as I see both sides, just curious on the general view about them. Part of me likes them, I love watching content that’s similar to my life, especially with kids the same age. I also think it’s great that mums can end up making it their livin...

Just wondering if there was any mums with 2 under 2 that have a super supportive husband/partner but no family that can help with babysitting etc x just wondering how hard 2 under 2 really is to juggle without the support? Second question: we are considering moving interstate to be closer to family that can help a...

Any of you mamas with a medical card? I’m going to go through the process tomorrow and want to know if it’s as easy as it seems. 🤔

I’m nervous about connecting with my daughter. I’m 33 weeks right now so I still have time. I’m white and her dad is black. I’m worried I won’t be able to relate to her and she’ll prefer her dad to me because “he’ll understand it better”. I don’t know how to teach her about racism and how to protect herself the best...

Anybody else having their transfer in November?

Giving my daughter a kiss every night not knowing if it’ll be the last time as an only child 🥺 I love her so much, where do I find the love for the second child?! Emotional Mumma here, anyone else in the same boat?

Any of you ladies anticipating FET transfer prep for an October transfer? I’m looking for support buddies! 🙏🏻

Hey all, When did you have your intralipids before your FET? How many days before? Was your FET successful?

Anyone else feeling super bummed about their job search? I’m looking for growth in my field and I’ve been applying for months but it never ends in an offer. I’ve been through a couple phone screens, 1st and 2nd in person interviews. I’ve even made my resume better a couple of times since the start. I’m wondering if ...

So my husband and I have always said we wanted a big family with at least 3 kids that were spaced a couple years apart. After having my daughter I’m highly reconsidering that because she has been a handful (she’s a colic baby and can’t be set down without crying) and I honestly couldn’t imagine doing it again, espec...

I’m getting nervous on how my three year old boy will react/respond when we bring the baby back home from the hospital. I’m due in the middle of December and don’t want my first born to feel left out or jealous that he’s now sharing a home with his new brother. Has anyone got any tips or things I can do to prepare h...

Hi! What’s everyone’s experience of having a sweep? Got one booked for today at 39+4 and as a first time mum I’m so nervous for this and don’t know what to expect! Thank you 🤍

I said “I feel like a sole parent” and he said “ok and I’m the sole provider”

When are you planning to start your second parent adoption? Have you found a lawyer yet?

What would you do if your babies grandparent, didn’t send a card, or text or even acknowledge it was babies 1st birthday

People often say “having a 2nd child for your first is not a good reason to have another” while I do agree with that statement, the more I have thought about it, the more I wonder, what is a good reason? Because if we think about it logically, having kids at all is a pretty crazy idea. They take your time, energy, m...
