Bleeding after sex all the time

Fresh red blood after sex. I’m not on contraception (haven’t been for 3+ years), I’m no longer breastfeeding and have been getting my periods fairly regularly these last 6 months. Before pregnancy it would happen often but now it’s more often than not. I feel rather wet when I have sex and I’m not in pain. My sm...

Insomnia and work

How is everyone coping? I'm 31 weeks and sleeping terribly, getting about 5 hours of broken sleep each night. I'm still working full time (and pretty much full time in the office). I've just negotiated 1 day a week from home, and that felt like I was asking a lot. I've only been at my company since October and still...

Trying not to worry

Hi! I’m 6 weeks and the only symptoms I’m have are sore breast, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Not having nausea is concerning to me but I’m not cramping or spotting which I’m grateful for. What do you all think? Just need some reassurance. Next appointment isn’t for another 2 weeks

Weird habit

Does anyone else’s baby suddenly love having their face pressed right against something to go to sleep? My baby suddenly presses his face right against my clothing, his own hand or the side of the next to me crib to get to sleep.
