Have you ever pooped your self in public ?

I witnessed this happen a woman at the park yesterday and my heart went out to her . Is this common ? I’ve had a couple close calls 🫠

Menstrual Disc First Time

Just started using the Flex Reusable Menstrual Disc today & when I say GAME CHANGERRR! (My cycle has returned almost 7 months PP)

Went swimming no issues. I’ve dumped it twice so far & cleaned it & had no issues. Was kinda weird trying to remove it but I got the hang of it.

Would I replace the period diapers for this absolutely not, but definitely an amazing addition. I don’t use tampons & my flow was too heavy for the pads I had so I got this & I love it. Never tried the cup but heard many great things about this vs the cup.

So if you’re wondering about buying it, this is your sign to!

Bidet 👀

How many of yall have used one and actually think it’s helpful? My husband spontaneously bought one two weeks ago and he suddenly swears by how much money we will save on toiletries. He loves it ofc and only uses that toilet now. But the water is SO COLD and it can’t not hit my cooch if I’m aiming for the back end ! So uncomfortable and even if I took a cold shower and can tolerate it, it’s painful warming up after. And I still have to dab pretty good after since I can’t just shake the water off… I need an experienced female to guide me through this “amazing” purchase lol

Can't find an OB i fit with and im 30 weeks along

Okay guys. I love love love our family doc. He no longer does OB or delivers babies. Okay so I find one but didnt like the fit. We moved and I needed to find a different OB. Was recommended this one were woth now but she is so rude and we absolutely do not click at all, she calls me obeseat every apt. She says because of my obesity and age i need to be induced before 39 weeks. ( i just turned thirty and i weigh 264 at 5'9... ) I have 10 weeks till due date do I just grind and bear it and hope shes not available when I go into labor or do I try to find a different OB again!?

Anyone been prescribed progesterone?

Is anyone on it now or been on it before? Can you share ur experience

Anyone ever had the coil fitted?

I’m 35 and expecting second baby in 2 months. I don’t wish to go back on the contraceptive pill as having been off it for 3 years now, my hormones are much more settled and my mood has been 100% better so for personal reasons the pill is not an option for me but I’m considering having the coil fitted, just wondering if anyone has any experience with it please? Good or bad.

Moms of uncircumcised boys

My son is not circumcised and I have been wondering what the future will look like when we are teaching hygiene..

Any mommas have any experience stories on how hard it was to teach them to clean the right way to avoid infection? Was it harder to pick up then if they’d have been circumcised?

I’m a FTM to a boy!

Thank you ❤️

Caught lying

I found tadalafil in my husband's work truck. The last time I was in here it wasnt there and now it is. He lied to me and told me they were for headaches. Im a pharmacy technician i know that 20mg of tadalafil causes erections. He then said they are old and he used them when I was pregnant because he wasnt attracted to me. I dont believe him at all. I keep thinking he's cheating on me. It's hard not to think he is.

the pill

Can anyone help? I’ve been on the Marvelon pill a while now, doctor said I can take it continuously without a break, but I keep bleeding on and off. I’ve tried the jab and Rigevidon before and had issues too 🥲 really hoping this does settle eventually! X

Non hormonal coil

Any mums with experience of getting the non hormonal coil fitted please?

I’ll be 14 weeks PP when it’s fitted next week, I’m breast feeding (not sure if that makes a difference).

Just wanted some experiences/ advice please? Weirdly considering I literally bought a child into this world through the sunroof, I’m super anxious about it!

I don’t want another baby yet but also don’t want any hormonal contraception! (Barrier methods are a no no).

TIA🥰

UK Mums... Has your midwife ever gave you back the pre pot (iykyk) and told you to empty it at home and reuse it for next time? 🤣

I had my 34 week appointment today and as usual they gave me a pot to wee in. After my midwife tested my urine, she gave it back to me with the pee lol and told me to rinse it out at home and use it for the next appointment 😂 I was a little taken back and joked with my husband that the NHS must be really hurting. I know it's my pee, I just had a good laugh because here I was carting my pee pot around in my purse at Morrison's

Ob /gyn

Mid wife VS ObGyn

Hi ladies.. I’m trying to decide if I should use a midwife or an obgyn. How did you make that decision? Who did you find most helpful/useful for you in your journey? Any regrets with your choice?

Birth control

I am 4 months PP and my baby is mainly on the boob with an exception of a bottle here and there. I tend to have a bit of an over supply and pump 10+ oz a day after EBF. My OB gave me birth control at my 6 week appointment and told me to start it whenever. I know you ovulate before you get your period but I have yet to get my period. I am scared of taking the BC and seeing a dip in my supply especially as I go back to work and start pumping more. We have been doing the pull and pray method in the bed room which I know is stupid but we have sex maybe once a week if that. Looking for shared experiences when hopping back on BC. I take a lot of pride in BF and would like to continue till my daughter is at least a year.

Pp periods products

What are all using for our periods after the 6 week check?

Very much a menstrual cup girly, but of course couldnt use it after pregnancy, my post partum 6 week check (8 weeks) was god awful, wasnt with a doctor, I had a nurse tick a couple of boxes, check BP and weight, get emergency contraception (oops) so I genuinely didnt get a chance to ask (so surprised at how bad it was this time compared to my first) but i genuinely cannot keep using pads, they just make me feel so uncomfortable in multiple ways, so have you ladies started using tampons, discs or cups yet?
