We’re getting our passports and it has asked us for my maternal parents details, but I don’t know my “real” dad would you just leave it in blank or fill out my step dads?

Debating whether to have another baby or stick with my one and only :)

So I have my 3rd FET on Monday, and I’m worried more so bc I work Tuesday and Wednesday and due to meetings and other things I cannot take those days off… long story short with all my other transfers I always rested a few days after but this time I can’t and I’m worried it would effect my results. My current fertil...

hi all. i am wondering whether anyone has any experience of this at all please? my progesterone levels were tested yesterday and were 3.7nmol/L (equivalent to 1.16ng/L which I think are the units used in the US and in lots of the stuff i’ve been reading). I am due to trigger tonight. My clinic don’t seem concerned b...

If you have, I'd like to know your experiences. Hubby and I have two little ones (in January they will turn 1 and 3). We've talked about fostering children for years now, but he wants to wait till our kids are big enough to talk really well. I'd like to know all the pros and cons you can give me!

I'm trying to help my friend. She left a bad relationship. He about best beat her to death. She moved from a different state to the state i live in now. How do we get her kids adopted for Christmas privately. We don't want to risk him finding her. He's found her once before

I got my results back from my booking bloods I had on the 1st of November and I’ve got an iron deficiency so I’ve got to start on iron tablets:( didn’t have this issue with my first…anyone else experienced this🫶🏻

Have one booked for Wednesday and have heard they don’t have the highest success rates! Bonus points for sharing your story so I know what to expect, thanks in advance!

My brothers have been absent from my son’s life for almost 1.5 years. They havent checked on me at all during my pregnancy. I am thinking I wont even share when my second baby is born (atleast not right away). Is it bad if they just find out through social media? I dont even think I will invite them to meet baby rig...

My supervisor discussed an interesting topic of manufacturing child hood magic . In short term that basically so many parents are attempting to buy childhood memories in extravagant ways and what type of adults we will see in the future. Do you feel that there is a way to preserve “childhood magic” without over...

Do you get help from your parents with looking after your little ones or do you just depend on your partner to help out once there home from work etc?

I’m just thinking out loud .I’m not sure where we would be sending these applications ,that wouldn’t be corrupt . I only had coffee ,I’m not high y’all 😭. I’m also thinking the requirements would be ,emotional ,financial and spiritual safety for a child or more ,and as you have more,you have to update your resume 😅.

Please comment: How do you feel about another kid, now that your kid is only 18 months old and you loved them the most till now? Do you feel you won’t be able to give same attention to the first kid once the baby comes?

Anyone else realise AFTER having a baby how unhelpful the dad is? Even when he’s got kids of his own and ‘seems’ or told you he was really hands on?

When can I get my MatB1 and from where? Work keep asking for it! Thanks

Hey, has anyone offered eggs yet? I’m going to offer my little one eggs but not sure if to give scrambled or slices? Internet says one thing then another? If you’ve offered eggs how did you present them? Tia

Last week Monday my daughter (16 months) woke up with a cold. She had a fever etc pretty bad. Two days later me and my son starts feeling a bit unwell. My son (2 months) had very low fever, and only had to take paracetamol for one night. I haven't gotten any fever but do have had a but of a sore throat and sniffle. ...

How are you guys setting boundaries with families when they come visit you and baby? I am just wondering as Christmas is near and I’m sure family wants to meet babies etc..

Has anyone heard of this or done something similar ? Please no judgment . I am really struggling and I just don’t want my baby to suffer because I am going through it. I wish I had friends or family to stay with him for even a day so I can go to the gym or go for a sole walk to clear my head but I can’t . This is t...
