Baby no2, 3, 4 etc and when?

Those who are planning on having another baby after their 2023 babies, when do you plan to try? We've been discussing and don't want a huge gap but financially it's going to be longer than we liked so we're gonna try before our son's 2nd birthday. Just wondered when everyone else is planning.

Getting ready

How on earth is anybody managing to get them and their baby ready and out of the house before midday, thought it would get easier but it’s harder getting a 4 month old ready and out of the house than a newborn. If I want to get somewhere before midday I always need help and it makes me feel like such a failure

Cycle day nine. AF due on the 27th. Every cycle ends in pure heartbreak and I didn’t know I’d ever even cry over a negative test. I ...

Am I alone?

Anyone else feel themselves losing their minds thinking about ttc and not being able to think about anything else? Second guessing every little thing my body does. Convincing myself I’m pregnant at only 3dpo even though I know that’s ridiculous. Wish I could switch my brain off for a bit 🙈
