Am I normal?

I've only just started TTC. Is it normal to not be able to imagine that it could ever happen for you? I'm worried I'll never be able to get those 2 lines and I've not even finished my first TWW!

Not my first rodeo

So this is no3 for me. There will be a big age gap between this one and the older 2 so I’m a bit nervous about how they’ll take it. Haven’t told anyone yet other than my partner so wish me luck!!

Due daye around 4th April so really early days and was conceived on holiday in Sicily, where my fiancee is from so feels special seeing as they will be born and raised in UK. But I am TERRIFIED!

Any mamas trying or convincing partner for baby #4?

Finally some good news

Cried myself to sleep last night as I felt like I was having symptoms of my period starting. Woke up this morning and still no signs of the period, so took a test as I’d rather know, didn’t want to spend the whole day wondering and waiting…. This has been 8 months since we miscarried and the hardest months of TTC.
