Quick Question

How long after your miscarriage did it take for your period to return? I had my miscarriage last week in September, I’m considering taking a pregnancy test but am a bit worried. I am trying again currently. Could this be a good sign ?

Anyone else’s OB *not* performing cervical checks?

My OB says it’s no longer their practice to do checks at every appointment, but they’ll do them if asked. Just curious if anyone is experiencing the same? I’m 36+3, having cramping the last couple of days and think I should ask to be checked at my weekly tomorrow!

My husband and I like Leo as a nickname but can’t decide on the full name.

I’m not sure if these names will be too confusing for English speaker or not. But my husband and older son have very Russian names so I don’t want this baby to be the only one with an English name.
