Anyone else ttc baby #2?

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.

Second baby - when?

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...

ECV

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...

Appointment updates…

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. 😩🫠

6dpo anyone else?

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 :/

Bit hopeless could use some good stories

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 🙏

I wish men could have babies

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....

Tentatively joining and hoping for a sticky baby!

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!

First period PP

I'm 8.5 months PP and I'm pretty sure I'm getting my first period after pregnancy 😒. I have PCOS and have been curious when I would, but thought maybe it wouldn't happen until I was done breastfeeding. I know it's probably so different for everyone, but if yours have started again and if you've had multiple kids…

TTC baby number two🩷

I have a feeling this may just be an evaporation line, I still have a little bit of hope it isn’t but can anyone else confirm if they think the same?😔
