If you know you’d like a second/another baby, have you gone back onto contraception? If so, what was your choice? We’d like to start trying for our second when little one turns 2, so I haven’t gone back onto any contraception and decided to use condoms, but the nurse said that’s not a good idea? Just wondered what o...

Hi, I currently have a uti and I’ve rang my doctors and they said they have no appointments for the rest of the week and I’ve rang my local pharmacy and they’re saying they have nothing I can purchase it has to all be through my gp. Does anyone know what I can take or do to help ?

Since starting these pills I’ve noticed low mood, changes in appetite, tender boobs. Symptoms that are similar to early pregnancy. I’m wondering if any of you ladies have had similar side effects and if so do they subside with time? I’m only on my second packet and already thinking of stopping them.. xo

I’ve seen a post on Instagram of a mum saying why did no one tell her that you don’t have to use wipes for a nappy change if it’s just pee? I’m wondering is this actually true & do some mums do this? I always use wipes for every nappy change regardless if it’s just wee.

Is there anyone on here that has PCOS and got pregnant without a period?

I'm preparing for my second IVF cycle. In the book, 'It starts with the egg', melatonin 3 weeks before egg retrieval is recommended. I am also taking Estradiol during this time. I've read melatonin can lower estrogen levels which defeats the usage of Estradiol. Anyone used both together? Anyone decided not to? I'd l...

Hi, I had my 6 week check today (at 7weeks). The GP advised I try to have sex and wanted a plan for contraception. I hadn’t actually thought about that yet. I can only have the mini pill due to breastfeeding. However, I’m not sure how I feel about going back on it due to how it made me feel emotionally (like I didn...

I think my girl has a uti, she’s been holding herself when having a wee saying ouch. She drinks plenty of water etc

I'm going to be 27 weeks on monday, and I need help finding not only an ob office but a hospital that will take my insurance, which is texas Children's Star, I have found many obs that take it, but sadly haven't found a hospital that's in network with this insurance and I need help to find an ob that delivers at a h...

Had anyone else had Episiotomy & Forcep delivery and having problems with controlling bowels? I can tell when i need a wee, but i can’t stop it if it comes. Im aware this is a pelvic floor thing and to keep doing exercises, im guessing this is pretty normal? As for bowels, i cant tell when i need to go, or stop it...

So pretty much my everything is sensitive. My skin, face, and lovebox. My husband accidentally bought scented toilet paper, hes not home and took our only car. What would you do if you have to use the bathroom?

Ok ladies taking BC pills, what are we doing for low libido? I swear I don’t even think about sex but I would like to get back to it as intimacy is important in my marriage. My baby is 8 months old, I only breastfed for 2 months. Is there a supplement or pill that you can take to boost libido? Please give me all th...

Hi ladies! Just started my first cycle with letrozole. Anyone have any tips on how to deal with or lesson any side effects?

So I’m 7+ months postpartum, and only had my period once, 3 months ago. I’m on birth control (nexplanon) so I don’t think it’s pregnancy, but I had menstrual symptoms but no bleeding. What can it be? The arm implant? Or is your body off completely for some time after giving birth?

Hello lovelies! For those that has BV or at times uses things like feminine wash and the boric acid stuff, how often do you use it? I have the feminine wash with boric acid in it. It states it can be used daily, which of course I don't. I mainly use after sex or maybe once-twice a week. But, now, I kinda feel like...

Has anyone seen the news on the pill being a class one carcinogenic? Will anyone be stopping taking it because of this and what do you plan on using instead?

Looking for insights please… So our little girl is 11 months old and we’ve always said that we would wait a good few years between having anymore and thats if we do have any more (pregnancy and first 6 months PP were really hard for us) The thing is our sex life is taking a hit because neither of us like condoms ...

Has anyone else chosen to go on a progesterone-only birth control pills after baby and had weird results from it? I’m only about a month in to taking it, so maybe my body still needs more time to adjust… but I’ve pretty much had a nonstop period since starting these pills 😭 I had 2 distinct periods a week apart,…

I am indecisive on what contraception to go, if anyone is on either of these please give your feedback on how it has been for you?

I just found out I have a UTI and I’m due to give birth any day now. Also scheduled for induction on Sunday. When I asked the midwife if this changes anything for baby or the birth she said no, but after googling it I found this might mean the infection can get passed to baby at birth and bring some complications, s...
