I'm 31 with a 3 month old & a 7 yr old. I have made it extremely clear with my Husband that I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT want any more kids. He seems to think the pullout method is effective...

Hi I was just thinking what contraception is everyone on and your experiences? I have recently been in the pill I think microginon how ever you spell it but it was awful.

Hi girlies! Just found out I’m expecting and was going to go to a new OB in scottsdale but getting there with work for the next 8 months is too tricky.

Not sure if the two are linked but has anyone found since having an episiotomy (7 months pp now) tampons don’t go in / stay in well? Not sure if it’s linked to having an episiotomy at all but I’ve noticed tampons don’t feel like they go in or stay in well at all!

I am not 100% sure I have a uti. If anything, I have mild symptoms. However, i have bought anti biotics and am thinking whether to take it or not. I don't like that anti biotics kills all bacteria. It feels like it mustn't be 100% safe during pregnancy for this reason. Can UTIs go away on their own? If I wait a ...

So me and hubby got in a little understatement recently because he told me to go wash myself before sex. I was like “what” I thought I misunderstood, since we’ve been together 7 years and he’s just brought it up. He says it’s normal to wash yourself a bit, to be cleaner and great smelling down below. I said I would ...
