Community Posts, Tips & Support on Trying to Conceive

This is in no way judgemental, I’m genuinely trying to understand why. Having one baby puts our bodies through so much, and 4th trimester isn’t just 3months, it takes way longer to feel ‘normal’ for most women. I am always amazed+terrified of hearing moms having 2 under 2 (esp with less than 18m between babies). Wha...

I’m really struggling. I’ve been TTC for just over a year (however been wanting to try for many years before that so it feels a lot longer). I’m about to speak to my Dr to start with tests etc, is there anything particular I should ask about? I feel really low and finding it hard to keep positive. I just want it so...

Would love to hear experiences/tips for EC in early early childhood! Was it worth the effort? We’ll be doing a mix of cloth diapering and disposable diapering but definitely interested in people’s experiences with EC! A little context for our situation - First time mom, I’ll be home with baby for foreseeable futu...

Am I the only one who watches YouTube blog videos of families with they newborn baby? I’ve done it with my first child and now doing it with my second to come baby… for me it just makes time go by easier for me and it prepares me for when my baby comes…

Husband and I decided to start trying for our next baby. Figured it might take a while cause it took 6 months to get pregnant with my first and I’m still breastfeeding every 2-3 hours during the day.

Any tips for baby to come sooner im struggling now 🥲 TIA

Hello! I'm due to start my second round of IVF in late August. Anyone else? I'm full of nervous hope and I can't wait to start!

Please can I get thoughts? Ideally we want to have a second baby at some point. Now feels way too early to think about it (feels like our March baby has only just arrived !), but it’s not due to my age and due to my job. We’re loosely thinking about trying again when our baby turns one. It’s unlikely we’ll be luck...

Yesterday at 37+2 we found out baby is breech. I really don’t like the idea of an ECV but I’ve booked one in on Tuesday to give it a try. Anyone had a successful one? I’m really dreading it and think I’m going to go in and say if they can easily turn the baby then do it but then if any way they use too much pressure...

So I got my results back and….. I’m having a girl 💕💕💕💕but I am high risk for 22q11.2 deletion syndrome I’m not gonna dwell on it too much I’m just gonna pray about it and over all keep and open mind about the baby being okay

I was diagnosed with GD. My original estimated due date was October 13. They know for sure it will be earlier. They are anticipating 1 week earlier at the moment. I have nothing done. 😩🫠

First natural cycle in 1.5 years after a lot of failed IVF and endometriosis treatment. One loss 2 years ago and one chemical. Can’t even remember what implantation cramping feels like. Nervous :/

We've been trying to conceive for almost a year and a half. I did private testing which was all good, and had investigations on the NHS which were all really positive. They pretty much won't help because we're both healthy. But every month feels like a dagger. Give me your positive stories to keep me going 🙏

So I’ve been trying for baby no.2 for a few months now and nothing 😢 Can anyone suggest anything that has helped them fall pregnant x

I wish men could have babies so they could have more understanding. I mentioned to someone that I was tired and he asked me what time I woke up. How is that even relevant? Ask me how many times I went to the toilet in the night and how I can even get comfortable in bed when my stomach is so big and everything aches....

Hi guys! Had a vvvvv faint positive today so tentatively joining as I am trying to be positive, I had a very very early miscarriage last month (a chemical pregnancy), seem to be quite prone to them as I had x3 when TTC my first baby. This will be baby #2 for us 🤞🤞🤞 let's hope that this little bean sticks in there!

I’m so impatient! Some days I feel things, some days I don’t. This ttc journey really gets to you.

When is it time to go to the fertility clinic. We are 29/28 y/o couple, have been ttc on and off the last 9 months. Haven’t used protection in the last 6 years but weren’t really “trying”, feeling really overwhelmed

Just been checking my badger notes and found out I have a papp a 0.4 mom. Has anyone else had this? Is it something to be worried about? I am currently 17w5d

So ladies!! My husband does this thing during sex where he stops himself from ejaculating and he just last so long and can go all night. We take little breaks to catch our breath and have some water then get back at it. So last night we went on for hours we both passed out at one point for a few mins a woke up and c...
