Welcome to This Glorious Mess Little Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises!

Getting pregnant the second time around isn't always easy. Just because your body has done it before, doesn't mean it will 'know what to do' when it comes to expanding the family the second, third or even fourth time around. 

Secondary infertility is all about the struggle to conceive after having a child. There isn't always a conclusive diagnosis as to why you may be infertile, besides the obvious factors, age, your egg reserve and ovulation issues, which can leave anyone feeling a little hopeless.

This week we unpack the misconceptions, the bad advice, assisted fertility and what you need to know if you're thinking about expanding the family.
