Defeated

39w and only a cm dilated and 50% effaced. I’ve actually been bawling for the last couple hours over this. I just can’t stand to be pregnant anymore.

Sperm Donor UK

My Girlfriend and I are looking for a black/mixed race sperm donor. We’re looking for AI only and no contact. Where do we look for a donation. Just a baby app isn’t useful.

Morphology

Hi ladies, had anyone ever had experience with their partner being diagnosed with low morphology (1% in our case) and still getting pregnant naturally? My GP has said we have to continue trying for 2 years, despite the fact my partner has low sperm density and low morphology 😭.

TTC when breastfeeding

Our baby turns 1 next week and we've decided that we are ready to try for another baby. I'm still EBF and haven't had a period yet so have no idea if I'm even ovulating. I bought ovulation sticks and have been using them for a few weeks and maybe had 1 positive reading but I'm still not sure. I guess I'm just lookin...

TTC

For those who have already had a baby how long did it take to conceive? For my first baby I fell pregnant after 4 months of ttc and sadly miscarried but then fell pregnant immediately after so it basically took 5 months. My baby is currently 3 months and we are trying for baby number 2. I know it’s not been long ...

Candles

Random question (which maybe very silly lol) do any of you lovely ladies ever burn candles while baby is around? I love a candle at this time of year but have been reluctant to light any due to baby being up?? Not sure if I’m over thinking it or just not worth it
