Anyone else struggling with this stage?

It’s so hard man, the constant anger & tears, I literally don’t know what to do and just keep putting the tele on. I used to take her out when she was frustrated, now she’s angry in her pram too!

Devastated—positive as a CF carrier

I am so overwhelmed and devastated. I got my genetic results back showing I am a carrier for CF. My husband is getting blood work tomorrow to see if he is also a carrier and I can’t stop worrying about it. I’ve cried so much today. We won’t even know his results for another two weeks and it just feels like torture.

Toddlers

How soon after your toddler was “looking” for a sibling did you find out you were pregnant? My 8m old has just started looking between her legs. We aren’t actively trying to conceive another. But we aren’t opposed to one either.
