Where do I start?

May be a stupid question but I’m 30 weeks pregnant and it’s dawning on me that I’m so close to having my baby now but I know nothing, from feeding to how to change a nappy and all the rest. How do we know where to start/what to do!? Am I missing something 🧐

One and done or one more??? Ahhhh

So I’m 40, almost 41. I’m so conflicted going back and forth and back and forth on having one or going for the second. I wish I was younger so I didn’t feel such a pressure to have to make that decision so quickly. I just had my first in May and I feel like I have to do it right away if I’m going to. But it’s overwh...

Hating TTC sex

My husband and I are really struggling with the feeling of having to have sex rather than wanting to. It's such a turn off for us.

I always wanted 2 kids close in age so no judgement please, I appreciate it’s not for everybody 🤣 But it just seems to not be happening for me although the saying is you are your most fertile after having a baby?…

Trying for 2nd baby

I want to start trying for 2nd baby but partner is hesitant. He says we’re struggling enough with 1 (time, cost, work/life juggle, toddler being hard work with tantrums) so another would be too stressful at the moment. But surely it’s never easy no matter when? I definitely want another but if he’s not sure then I’...

Just seeking a bit of advice!

We have been trying to conceive a baby nr 2 for the last 6 months, but no luck... I'm starting to think that my weight and age might have something to do with it (116kg, 37 y).. I'm thinking, maybe I should pause TTC for half a year and try Mounjaro injections to lose a bit of weight, not sure how long I will have t...

The term “sperm donor” for absent father

I’m putting this here as it’s the biggest group by far and I’ve seen this term used quite a lot. Using the term “sperm donor” when you actually mean absent father is quite disrespectful to the selfless men that do donate their sperm to allow people seeking fertility treatment to be able to grow their families. W...
