    Anxiety over planning for baby number 2+?

    @cls0583 We are wavering on timelines but in a different way 😅 before we had our first we both imagined having two children. Our first was a very challenging newborn, my husband had terrible PPD and I developed health anxiety after a scary medical event. We both had to seek therapy this year...

    Advice on Financial Goals before TTC

    @soulcrafter Paying off debt this way can feel more emotionally satisfying, but if her CC debt is anything typical (like 22% interest) then it makes absolutely no financial sense to pay off a smaller loan with lower interest first. Purely financially speaking, it's smartest to pay off the debt...

    Advice from somebody who just gave birth during the pandemic

    @communityguide Thank you for sharing your experience! I just wanted to add some more anecdotal information to this, as I see a lot of women leaning towards home births or birth center births now to avoid hospitals. This comes with its own set of risks too, not just the distance from medical...

    Just my critique of that day care Medium article that is always circulating this sub as it relates to nannies and familial care

    @sabresong With ratios so highly touted, it also seems unreasonable to assume that children being watched by their parents are receiving 1-1 care when only-children are a minority.

    @andybrooks This! Between my baby and cats, I take my temp at all different hours of the night/early morning. I’m still able to determine a shift and track ovulation. I would just log the temp, with a note that it was an irregular time for you, and keep moving.

    Nutritional Analysis of 13 Prenatals

    @fruitb Right?!! That Coline! So many good trace minerals. It’s certainly not cheap as far as prenatals go, but I’ve found it to be much more complete in terms of ingredients and dosages than a lot of the other brands out there!

    House shopping meltdown: anyone else struggling with the milestones in the way of TTC?

    @fruitb I feel all of this. Our big milestone is buying a house and living there for a year to recoup savings and do any renovations we’d want. My husband has been dragging his feet and never finds time to go tour houses because his work schedule is crazy. Our housing market is also super...

    House shopping meltdown: anyone else struggling with the milestones in the way of TTC?

    @sukhovey I’m not sure that’s a fair assumption to make. I’m ready to get pregnant, but one of my non-negotiables is owning a home. Yes I know babies can live in apartments, my niece included, but it’s my personal preference to have a house we own to bring our baby home to. My husband and I have...
