So, I’m in my mid-20s and have been feeling simultaneously too old and too young. i.e: Too young to fret about maternity leave but too old to not be realistic about my future family desires. Normal?

I think so. I’m late 20s and I still deal with this pretty frequently.

If you’re the type of person who thinks this way, you’re probably fine. Know that you’re pretty rationally minded and remind yourself to enjoy the unplanned and unexpected things in life.

Totally. What concerns you?

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET.

I tried Googling but can't find any info. Anyone been through this before and know what they're referring to? I just like to be as informed as I can.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out
