I’m going in tomorrow for my retrieval and am quite anxious about the health of my eggs at 43. How soon do you find out what they are graded at? And any success stories with more mature eggs?

Before my baby was born, my partner and I shared rules with immediate family for being around our newborn, at least for the first 21 days of his life. I'm usually a bit of a people-pleaser so setting these boundaries was actually kinda difficult for me. My baby is now 11 days old, and some family friends are wantin...

Just wondered what people's experiences were? Successful or not? How many did you have? Any other info / advice? Thanks :) x

Hi! I’m not sure if this is allowed but I need help! I am mixed (puerto rican, black, Native American, and Irish) and my husband is a 1 generation ABC. His mom doesn’t like me. My husband said she told him it’s because of my race; she was raised very old school and taught to hate us. I know China is getting to be ...

Is anyone else a one and done family? I always said I wanted two but then I had my daughter (she is wonderful), but I know for a fact I don’t want to go through the aftermath of labor again. Anyway, how do you feel about this with your family? I have a sense of guilt and I am not sure exactly why. We have made this ...

What to expect from my sweep tomorrow? I am 39 + 5 have my first EVER sweep tomorrow? Can anyone who has had one give me an insight of what to expect during or/and after?

Can I have your opinions and experiences please. I have 1 child, a toddler who is being assessed for autism. I always thought I'd have at least 2 kids but I feel I need to focus on my son and honestly I think he'd feel neglected if I had another child as he's so attached to me. What are your experiences of having 1...

I’m due to have my second baby this week and already have a toddler who turned 2 in October. I’m wondering if anyone is planning to have their older one stay with family for a while to have time to bond with the baby. I’m torn as I’m worried I’ll miss him and don’t want him to feel like we’ve sent him away. But also...

For those co parenting. Does your LO do overnights?

hi all, this is very vulnerable for me to be asking for advice about but i want to be the best mom i can. my son is mixed (im white and his dad is black) and his dad is not in the picture at all. i’ve seen a lot of discourse online about how sometimes kids that are mixed that grow up with a white parent feel like th...

It’s been a while! Gearing up to have our next FET hopefully next month, after being successful with my baby girl in August 23❤️. Stills feels as scary and daunting as ever after having so many MC’s and years of pain, but I’m telling myself now that my body CAN do it and praying it works and we get our 2nd little mi...

Has anyone on here gone through with adoption? I’m currently going through the process of going to do this and I feel so alone and just disgusted in myself . I don’t really know who or how to talk to anyone about it without them understanding experience wise ?

Hey mamas 👋🏾❤️ I’m a single mama of a 5 year old and just recently gave birth to my other daughter who is 3 days old. I made the decision to give her up for adoption and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve done honestly but I think I’ve done a pretty good job at staying strong throughout the whole process. The…

When did you get yours?

I have a 3 month old baby and she has her father’s last name. Did anyone change their child’s last name to theirs or kept it as the father’s last name?

Anyone doing a FET late Jan? Looking for transfer buddies!

Has anyone ever given their baby up for adoption? If so what was your experience like? I gave birth to my babygirl at 2am and now I’m in the process of talking to an adoption agency. If my situation was better I would definitely be keeping her but unfortunately that’s not the case. I really just wanna do what’s be...
