For mamas and parents trying to add to their families. Discussion about the unique challenges of TTC #2+, parenthood, and your LOs is not just allowed but encouraged!

This subreddit is for women / men who are trying to conceive while having children. Also for those who have conceived while having children. However, everyone is welcome.

This is a safe place for people to vent their frustrations and discuss our treatment options or our plans for conceiving while trying for more. Any negative and hurtful will be removed. We like when users add flair, and here is an how-to.

Alum & TTC#3 we’re your early pregnancy symptoms the same between your children?

I’m firmly in the TWW, and like all good TWWs I have to question everything. In my previous pregnancy experiences I knew I was pregnant so early (5DPOish). But I feel like this go around now everything in the TWW feels more intense? I’m wondering if that’s because I birthed a little one. Now I notice way more twinges, cramping early in the LP, etc during the TWW and they all turn out to be nothing. So i’m curious if your early pregnancy symptoms were the same between pregnancies or if you had different symptoms between them?

Trying for our second child

Hello! I'm 2 cycles in, just got period. It took 6 years for my first child, but we don't have the benefit of time anymore. Neither of us are comfortable with having a baby past 40 (due to health risk and newborn stage was very difficult and we know it won't get any easier). I'm 38, had my daughter at 37. So here we are.

I see my doctor in January. If not pregnant then, should I ask about testing or is 4 months too soon despite my unexplained infertility history?

I'd love to give baby girl a sibling and we'd love two kids, but we're also very aware my body might not let that happen and we're so blessed to have her in our life. Pregnancy before her was a miscarriage and I'm also terrified of having another miscarriage so my emotions have been a bit wacky about if we even try... I think the deadline helps me mentally.
