How long did it take you to get pregnant the second time around? We got pregnant the first month for the first but having a one year old is so totally not a mood setter!

Did you guys get your periods first? I’m still nursing and haven’t gotten it but know some people can still get pregnant. I feel like I need to take a test every time after we have sex

This will be different for everyone. Took me 8 mo for baby1, and 2.5 years of active TTC for baby2, including many IUIs, a miscarriage, and IVF. I’m 36 and just had baby2.

Yes, got mine first at 10 months post partum. Got pregnant 16 months post partum.

There was no trying. First time my body was “eligible” it happened. Evidently, when your body is “regulating” itself again it’s not uncommon to ovulate multiple times in a cycle...I came to find out that my initial ovulation that month did not mean we could just go at it as we pleased with no precautions...

I got pregnant in the second month trying for both kids, almost 4 years apart. Thought the second would take longer given age (mid 30s). Good luck!

It took us one try for number two.... 😅

Number 2 was the first month (first try)... was not expecting that at all, but very lucky!! Good luck!

One try for number 2, but I was charting and tracking, so I knew exactly when I would ovulate...super sexy 😂

#1 took about 4 months, #2 about 9 months. Wasn't really tracking, just wasn't using protection.

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

Is anyone living on different floors with ~1 year old? Does it work, PROs, CONs? Our master bedroom is upstairs. There are two bedrooms downstairs so I always thought we’d use one of those rooms as our bedroom so we’re on the same floor with baby but it seems husband wants to stay upstairs. And he’s using one of the rooms downstairs as a home office. We bought this house so cannot move in the short term.

During interview I was speaking to the hiring manager. Felt interview was going well. He seemed impressed by my answers, excited by my skills, and even gave me a tour of the office. At the end, he asked about my home life. When I spoke of my 3 young kiddos, the manager got a little taken back and replied Oh you have children? I said yes ages 3, 5, and 7. He then proceeded to ask me about daycare arrangements and if I can be reliable. Red flag as his demeanor changed and made me feel unworthy.
