1. Just here to say I tested late with both my boys, I tested positive about 5 weeks from the day we had sex. I had a negative ten days before the positive. So not always the case!

  2. Wait did you only have sex that one time? I’m usually very regular but now 12 days late with nothing but negative tests

  3. I can’t see anything but it’s still early!

  4. I can see something very very faintly but at first glance I couldn’t. Fingers crossed for you!

  5. Happened to two different friends of mine and they both ended up having 2 babies in the same year (Jan and Dec!) They were both mixed feeding, so babies not exclusively breastfed but for sure it happens, you just need to ovulate as that will happen before a period. Another friend of mine was EBF her two month old and got her period back at 8 weeks PP, which means despite breastfeeding on demand around the clock she ovulated at ~6weeks postpartum despite that being when you should have relatively good contraceptive effect from BFing.

  6. Sorry yes baby is very much on solids. He’s a great eater, I think I just meant I’m not pumping or giving any formula.. but yes food is happening!

  7. No, but you ovulate in the middle of your cycle, before seeing period blood at the end of it. So it is totally possible to get pregnant before seeing your “period” return.

  8. Thank you - yes I totally get this. Just curious if anyone had any firsthand experience with this!

  9. Not quite. Will be 17 months apart (conceived at 8 months). But still, was EBF.

  10. Did you have a period first, before conceiving?

  11. Yukiko sakamura’s yt videos have been helpful for me-they are utilitarian and no frills

  12. Contemplating this too at the moment.. also not sure if it’ll be last or not.. feels like waiting those extra years will give me time to recover and the older two to play together more and be more independent. But at the same time there’s something so lovely about the age gap and their closeness.. who knows! Just nice to know I’m not alone in my contemplating!! I think if I was certain this would be my last i might just go for it.

  13. I’ve heard of it. Never really found an appeal to it when I looked it up. Have you used it? I could be my solution but I don’t know anyone who uses it

  14. I’m just beginning to this year, alongside my husband. I love the vertical layout and the paper is seriously heavenly. You can take a look on YouTube for some videos if you like. It’s the most common planner for people who bujo to use I’ve heard. I’m planning to use it as a planner for everything, and it has a yearly overview which you can use as a habit tracker.

  15. Good luck! I’ll check it out. I have a scribbles that matter book currently that I want to use but may use this as an alternative and use that one as a memory journal type thing

  16. It is so overwhelming, especially mothering in this day and age. Ah, the luxury of a solo bathroom visit. It’s so hard when they need you so much, especially when you don’t have the time to resource yourself or to be alone to resource yourself. I hear you mama and am with you. Definitely feel like I’ve been losing my cool with my two and a half year old lately, I also have an 8 month old and when they both need me lots at the same time I feel extremely overwhelmed. Just to say yes it is so hard and there are also a few things I do t I help when it’s hard. Oh and it also gets easier. Harder in different ways or just new ways but then it’s still different which is good.

  17. -“Rest Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers (Or Anyone Who Acts Like One)” by Deborah MacNamara - she trained with Gordon Neufield and this is probably my favourite one with its depth and warmth.

  18. Oof it’s hard. I find myself facing parts of myself and patterns from my childhood everyday that I had forgotten or just hidden away. But I do the work, and try to create the space between what happens and how I respond, carving out that choice and it gets easier. Then harder. Then easier again. What’s beautiful is that we are changing things, we are giving them so much more than what we had and what our parents and grandparents had. We are changing the trajectory and that’s hard and heavy work. But so worthwhile and beautiful when you think of what our kids will be able to pass to their kids. Eventually only a tiny drop will remain of what we have faced and our parents and their parents etc. There will be a newness, a fresh start of sorts. And we will have been indispensable in that. This is what I try to remember though often don’t manage in the harder more overwhelming moments! Much love.

  19. I thought this too! Really enjoyed it though not as much as TSITP but still a fun watch.

  20. Thanks for this! As my newborn gets bigger, I’ve been thinking about whether I’d prefer a half buckle over a SSC, especially for naps at home. On this sub, I also sometimes see Lenny Lamb and Didymos recommended as less-known/underrated. Do you have any experience with them to compare to the Oscha? The Cairis does look really comfortable!

  21. I’ve only every used a didymos onbuhimo so I can’t talk about their other carriers.. what I will say is that the oscha waistband is patented and specially made not to dig in, which I can confirm after 2 years of use, it does not dig in. So I couldn’t speak on the other carriers though I’m sure they’re amazing just that this one has knocked all other carriers off my radar!

  22. Is this quick and easy to put on? Super cute patterns!!

  23. Super quick and easy once you’ve got the hang of it. Takes me two minutes or less to put it on now :) yes the patterns are gorgeous!

  24. I breastfeed my baby in the carrier with a nursing top or dress so you don’t see any side boob. Depends on your body type and breasts but this works fine for us!

  25. What carrier? I think I need to invest in a different one to make this possibe

  26. I use an Oscha Cairis, it’s a half buckle, though I did it for a while in an ergo 360. But the Cairis is the best carrier I’ve used - the waistband never digs in even after hours of wearing!

  27. My first labour I was induced and it was around 7 hours maybe? But I’d been having contractions on and off for a couple days beforehand.

  28. Pity I can't buy them outside the US. Only Australian supplier is useless.

  29. That sucks. I’m in the UK and we have a few good suppliers luckily.

  30. I gotta know.. how big is that water bottle?

  31. Am loving the Nuna Demi Grow with my 5 month old and 2 year old.

  32. I got pregnant around 11 months pp and breastfed the whole pregnancy and am still breastfeeding my now 4.5 month old and 2 year old. Didn’t notice a dip but did notice a huge increase in supply when baby came. You’ll be fine whatever happens ❤️ big congratulations!

  33. P.s am kind of paranoid I may be pregnant but can’t find out for sure till a couple weeks. (Always got late positives with both my pregnancies) so if so I’ll be in the same shoes as you..

  34. Taylor Kulik has a great sleep course that really helped me with my baby that isn’t too expensive or can be paid in instalments!

  35. Needed to hear this! I'm 39 weeks pregnant with a 20 month old who is dry nursing and I'm having serious regrets not weaning her as I'm so overwhelmed and having serious aversions to nursing her🫣 Hoping that my feelings change once the baby is here as I really want to tandem nurse if it works for the three of us. I can't wait to not be pregnant! Bring on the new, different challenges 😂💛

  36. Wanted to second the love of tandem nursing. Had lots of nursing aversion with my toddler before baby came but now it’s really special still having that aspect of our relationship.

  37. So I’m still early days, got a 7 week old and a 21 month old. Found out I was pregnant when my son was just 12 months, so you’ll have a similar gap to me!

  38. It's hard, I've been there with almost the exact age difference. The little one is now almost a year and the way they play together can be so adorable. It's still not easy but it gets manageable. For me a big game changer was when little one could hold their own head, that made things a lot easier somehow. Hang in there, you're doing amazing!
