Hiya I just had my 6-8 week check up and was asked what contraception I would like. Any choices or preferences? I have only ever been on the pill but had bad side effects as a teen including depression, I don’t really want the coil and would like some advice on what others have and if they would recommend it :)

Hi I'm hopefully someone can reassure me. I'm 20 weeks and 1 day. I have ran out of paracetamol so have just taken 2 ibuprofen. I'm now worrying I may ruined everything. It says online not to take it but then some people have and midwifes say taking it once shouldn't make a difference I'm just paranoid as really don...

Comment which one if you have.

I have not used birth control for years but I'm terrified of the side effects and also don't want have kids so soon. I have 2 under 2 and having more kids is a NO for me. I don't like the idea of taking hormones though. In the past it affected me with badly with headaches, low libido, moody…nausea.

My daughter ended up in hospital a few days ago and has been diagnosed with a UTI. We was sent home with antibiotics but because they had to do all sorts of tests in the hospital it’s scared her into taking them. She used to be amazing at taking calpol, neurophen etc. We have tried mixing with puree, adding to her b...

Hey lovely moms and moms-to-be, I’m looking for a new gyno, preferably in Zurich, Zollikon, Zumikon or the Zurich oberland region. Would anyone have any good recommendations?

Does anyone have a recommendation for an OB they have and love? I’m having a hard time finding a practice that isn’t overbooked, and getting through to my provider easily with questions. Ideally I’d love to see an OB that delivers at Riverside

We cut my SIL off for having an opinion about not circumcising our son and i aged her if labiaplasty was offer for girls would she do it just because large labias are made fun of and more likely to get an infection and she said yes without hesitation. I dont want her around our kids at all so i dont plan for us to a...

How can I delay my period naturally? I don’t want medication from the doctor. Is there any way to delay it naturally? It falls on my wedding day 😢

Hello everyone, How do you remember to take your medication? In previous cycles I was using Bonzun IVF which was great - you could add all you meds, it would remind you to take them, and you could tick them off. But the notifications don’t appear to be working anymore, and no one from their help centre is getting b...

I got really slammed at work and kept a tampon in for like 8 hours and now I can’t get rid of the smell!

I’m just curious as to what contraception you are all using? I’ve been given Degestrol but read about how it is highly linked with depression, and I remember being on it before and suffering with depression but don’t know if it was general PPD or now looking back it could have been that. Wondering whether to make ...
