But we don’t know the average time it takes. We will probabl...

For those of you TTC who've never been pregnant before

Does TTC ever feel like a race to you.... Like your rational mind knows it's not.. but deep down somewhere, you're trying to race something, or someone, or even yourself. For me, it's wanting to be pregnant before my other friends that are planning on ttc soon. And also myself, like that if I'm trying it must be b...

4 months later

My little joy will be 4 months on the 27th. At 8 weeks I started back on Lexapro 10 mg. It helped me so much before pregnancy and I was excited to be back on it. Lately I have been off. I’m not sure if I’m just sleep deprived or I need to up my dosage to 15mg. Here is a list of what is going on.. -just a heavy ach...

Too soon to try for another baby

Is anyone trying to get pregnant or have 2 kids. I want a sibling for my child but don’t quite think I’ll ever really be ready as I had a traumatic birth and she was a colicky baby. Is there ever a right time?

The three c’s - it’s very real. Anyone else in the same boat

It apparently kicks in around week 29/30. I think there should be more posts around this because this period is intense. Sleep deprivation is one thing, but the additional crying, clinginess and crankiness on top? For the first time I am losing the will. If anyone has any good news stories of coming out the other si...
