I was ovulating about 3 days ago and today I started spotting...

I was looking through my notes as it says before 16 weeks to 37 weeks I should take 150mg of aspirin daily due to low PAPP-A. Has anyone else been told this?

When should I start taking my contraceptive pill again? I gave birth just over a week ago, am still slightly bleeding and feel my hormones are still all over the place.

What could this be I’ve also noticed she tends to itch it here a...

My little one has been started on oral solution Propranolol for strawberry birthmarks. Just looking to see if anyone has experience with it? Did it work? How did your LO take to it? Just something to put my mind at ease 😂

I lost a lot of blood but I don't want a blood transfusion so my other option is Ferinject. Has anyone else had it? I'm nervous when it comes to taking new things 😬

So this might be TMI, but my husband has a low chance of getting me pregnant and recently I took out my birth control because it was giving me problems. We did the deed he finished, but we didn’t use protection. At the same time I was on my monthly I guess the first period after the birth control being taken out. An...
