Passing baby around

Any advice on what to say at family things when people expect to hold the baby? My mother in law always ends up holding him for ages and I'm not ready for that yet and want to grab him back every second 🫣 recovering people pleaser! What can I say to avoid giving him round to people? Thanks!

10dpo

I thought I saw a faint positive line with my fmu. Took a digital after and got a negative. I just took three more tonight after holding urine for only 2 hours and this is what I got. I don’t know if I can believe it.

Fun idea 💡

Make your baby a email and email them everyday or whenever something big happens or just whenever you feel like it. Then give them the password when they turn 18 so they can relive their early childhood memories with you

Just wondering if someone could help? Or have info that could help. Can you get in contact with the family who have adopted a family member? (UK)

I have a nephew who went into care 8 years ago. He was only 1 years old. Anyway I’m not in contact with my sister (the mum) due to her being on drugs and alcohol. She had no contact with him. I think she used to receive photos and maybe an update on him but she’ll no longer receive this due to not a steady address (...

Is this positive?

I’m 7dpo and 6 days before period (short cycles). I’m also 3 months pp and had a miscarriage last month from another pregnancy. I’ve had negatives since that pregnancy. I’ve got cramps, more discharge and feel ‘off’. Could this be positive? I’ll post pics in comments. Thank you.

2 days away from stims

Do you have any advice? About to start my first round of IVF. Feeling a bit nervous and get emotional when talking to colleagues / friends etc about it. I’m excited and trying to be positive but realistic - finding the middle ground is hard. Any advice appreciated. I’m in the UK.
