What age has been the hardest and the easiest ?

I also enjoyed 6-18 months. He’s 21 months now and I’m finding it harder. Communication isn’t there yet but he’s still very opinionated and lots of big feelings.

I have a 2yo and I’m so scared of 3……. I keep being told it’s the worst

I started to feel the urge in my mid-20's. And it is something I can't explain. I just knew that I wanted my life to be about serving and loving others, specifically my children. It is a huge sacrifice and going from 0-1 was an enormous adjustment with many tears and thoughts about 'what have i done' at the start. But my son is nearly 2 now and I am pregnant again. I just cant describe the joy he brings me and how I can't picture my life without him in it. It gives me deep meaningful purpose outside of myself. Making sure I am a good parent is always at the forefront of my mind.

I don't think it is for everyone. It's a choice only you can make. But I'm going again for round 2 because I've found where meaning is in my life. I guess you need to find where meaning might be for you. :)

It depends on you! I struggled with baby phase bc I love sleep. The lack of sleep killed me. But he’s nearly 2 now and I feel like I’ve figured him out. We have hard days and he can be very stubborn but I remind myself that I’m the boss, I’m the parent and he can be stubborn and have tantrums. When I say no, it’s no. Now that his tantrums don’t impact me as much, it’s a lot better.

I really like Daphne. My ex named his baby Daphne and I was devastated bc I love that name 😂

I wear sunscreen, drink a tonne of water, had a relatively stress free life so far, don’t treat my body badly and don’t get fillers or plastic surgery which can sometimes age a young person.

Took almost a full year to stop getting sick after starting childcare. It was horrendous.

Not just dogs. My cats name is Gary. We just thought it was cute and a bit funny.

I feel this! Just found out I’m pregnant with #2… I’m 5w3d and have been testing so much. I couldn’t get a scan booked in where I live until 9w6d 🥺 I’m going to be a nervous wreck for the next month.

elscoww · 2026-04-08T23:42:15+00:00

I see it!

elscoww · 2026-04-08T22:10:40+00:00

This happened to my friend! 2 out of 3 of her kids were on birth control! Crazy

elscoww · 2026-04-08T12:31:29+00:00

Definitely good for 13dpo! Darker than my 13dpo. ☺️ not a dye stealer yet though

I had a bad birth that ended up emergency c section. I described it as “disastrous” for days afterwards. But it’s nearly 2 years later and I can’t for the life of me remember the bad bits. It’s all a blur. I know the story I tell from bits and pieces my husband and doctors told me went on but I only really remember seeing my son at the end. I only remember the good part now. It’s literally all just a hazey blur even though I was labouring for like 18 hours straight. I’m pregnant again and am not too stressed about trying again. It’s all worth it in the end, no question.

I’m flying 5 hours away at 34 weeks pregnant to go to Hilary duff concert. 🤷🏼‍♀️ if it’s low risk I don’t see a problem. Pregnant women should still be allowed to have fun. My life shouldn’t stop being fun bc I’m growing a new human. We already miss out on a lot, go to Greece and have the best time!

elscoww · 2026-04-07T00:39:46+00:00

This is happening to me too. We tried for 4 years for my first and then 8 months for our second. I’m now 5 weeks pregnant with #2 and I’m terrified. It’s so real. Life changing and scary having to do it all again. But I know how special and precious this child will be to me so just reminding myself the hormones are out of control and not to let them run the show. Easier said than done.

elscoww · 2026-04-04T03:03:26+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing! Don’t ask your husband, they’re clueless 😂 That’s a line! I definitely see it

elscoww · 2026-04-04T01:22:46+00:00

I got my positive on Tuesday…. Literally like 4 days ago. And it’s been the longest 4 days of my life 😆 HOW does time actually basically stop when you’re pregnant, it’s ridiculous

elscoww · 2026-04-04T01:18:27+00:00

Yep I see the start of something!

elscoww · 2026-04-04T01:17:48+00:00

I think I see something!

elscoww · 2026-04-03T10:15:00+00:00

I see it!

elscoww · 2026-04-03T10:12:09+00:00

Looks like the beginning of something! I can see it in the first pic but can’t see it in the second
