Hi everyone! So I have my first FET scheduled for tomorrow (Monday the 7th) and I have a wedding on the 12th, which will be 5 days post transfer. Do you think it’s okay to still go? My doctor advised me to return to my normal life on Tuesday, so I’m going to work and try to keep warm. What other tips could you g...

Has anyone done the open adoption process inthe uk ? I’m wondering how it works, on a personal level instead of just using google.

Adoption seems worse to me so wanted to see

I am getting a membrane sweep on Monday!!! Has anyone had it and if so, was it successful? I will be 38 weeks and I’m nervous

Has anyone read the recent ipaper article about the declining birthrate in the UK? There are 3 articles within it and I read the one by Rhiannon Picton-James.

I’m in a dilemma and really struggling with this.

Would you feel comfortable sending your chi...
