Anyone watched the documentary on Prime? Really wanna hear people’s opinions on that adoptive Dad Michael.

So my baby daddies aren’t really in the picture for the kids they don’t pay child support or anything but I’ve let them see the kids whenever they want to my family hates them both and wants me to take the kids away and not let there dads see them but both are not on birth certificate or really check up on the kids ...

This is so unfair and cruel y'all. Some strangers can have total control over MY OWN kids !! Some strangers can decide what they believe is BEST for MY OWN KID . I just don't agree with this and it's fucked up. Laws need to change ASAP. I need some help fighting this.

Hey all, I’m having my first FET on the 14/04 day 6 blastocyst, I’m so worried and happy at the same time. I’m taking Progynova and now need to start 2 Cyclogest pessaries at day as well. They told me I will have to wait 11 days for pregnancy test after the transfer. They are doing the transfer on the 24th day of my...

Ah the dreaded day, am I correct? If so what is the best treatment etc to use? Now I’m worried I could get them and my hair is so long🤣

So I got thinking from what I've seem and heard from story's about how some parents doing the same thing as their own parents did even if it was the best then some are flipping the switch and breaking the cycle and doing it how they wanted their parents to be more like so how do you think your doing it like your p...

Has anyone thought they were gonna have their baby adopted and the month before had a change of heart?

I read something from someone that stated how the woman felt uncomfortable trying to dive more into her husband’s culture and what not and her main focus was what her kids look like and the color of their skin / eyes etc etc … like seriously having mixed children can’t just consist of that type of stupidity and igno...

so my dad is a born and raised australian and i think that would make it easier for me to get citizenship? they never applied me for dual citizenship in my childhood or anything which obviously would have made it SIGNIFICANTLY easier but now as an older woman with a child (who is ready to leave amercia for her s...

So I just moved and I had food stamps in previous state if I cancel my benefits will it effect anything I have left remaining on my card until I receive benefits for new state?

Hi everyone! So I have my first FET scheduled for tomorrow (Monday the 7th) and I have a wedding on the 12th, which will be 5 days post transfer. Do you think it’s okay to still go? My doctor advised me to return to my normal life on Tuesday, so I’m going to work and try to keep warm. What other tips could you g...

Has anyone done the open adoption process inthe uk ? I’m wondering how it works, on a personal level instead of just using google. Are you able to see your child, can the parents decide to not want it to be an open adoption, how often can you see your child Is it hard to give up, did you feel like changing your mi...

Hi all I had 5 eggs retrieved yesterday and just had a call that all 5 were mature. 2 fertilised abnormally and 3 fertilised ‘nicely’ Anyone had any success with low numbers like that? Xx

Just finished and so chuffed I made it. Currently 38+2 and had to drag myself to the end and so happy to be here now! How has everyone spent their mat leave so far to avoid feeling like just waiting? I'm usually quite "out and about" but I'm huge and swollen so feel like I might get cabin fever...

So irritated that I can't find him for him to pay child support. This is hard

Is anyone else who discussed about having multiple kids, had their first baby and has decided strongly against giving birth to anymore? I’m getting guilted A LOT by family members saying it would be too cruel and selfish of me to not have another baby. But, I’ve suffered immensely from PPD and PPA and sadly took a...

Will/do you have more kids even though you have a child that is on the spectrum? I’d love to have another one but I’m debating if that’s selfish even though I know my current child will always need extra support xx

Anyone else ever go a bit spaced out / dizzy when collecting colostrum lol?
