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.

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.

Anyone been prescribed progesterone?

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

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!?

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
