Hi there, am really new and feeling very unknowledgeable at the moment. We're not planning to start TTC until early next year but I want to be prepared mentally, if you know what I mean. I did the same when we got married - did loads of investigating and preparation before he even proposed. Have found it then helps me to say and to the right things. So - what's the advice ladies - please help

Advice is... stick around and find out!! We're lovely over here, lots of advice to be had and support when it's needed!! Not to mention tons of broodiness - not for the faint hearted!! xx

hey Munchie - are you on YAYW?? xx

Hi - yes - am on YAYW - haven't managed to pull myself away from there yet! The baby world seems more complex than the wedding world (in terms of me getting it!!!)

Gosh i would agree Munchie marriage is easy, I have two children and this site still scares me, all the abreviations etc! but you will always get your questions answerered so breath a sigh of relief and get ready to learn loads of stuff, some minging, some helpful and some ? enjoy your pre baby trying time x

Hello, come and join us!! We're full of expert advice! x

hey munchie I'm on YAYW too weddings in Sept- same avator!! welcome we're all baby mad!! xx

Thanks ladies - didn't think I'd find the whole baby thing very daunting... but oh boy!!!

Hiya am new too and also off yayw freshly married and desperate to start trying for a baby but we have decided that we will start trying in 6 months however, hubby has agreed to me coming off the pill and I am off the pill now we are just going to avoid having sex during ovulation (sorry if too much info) and use protection, am gutted obvioulsy but it makes sense with whats going on in the world at the moment. Both our jobs arent secure, h2b is self employed so am not sure how we would manage financially if we started trying now and got pregnant straight away.

Anyway just wanted to say hi and I hope you can all fill me in and give me loads of baby information as I too am totally clueless. I am 30 in oct so am dying to become a mother and I know people say your never too old but I feel that now we are married that naturally it is just the next step and hubby wants a baby too but like I say its just affording it when we have other heavy financial commitments every month xx
