DON’T TRUST BF’S FEMALE FRIEND Been with my boyfriend for 1 year. I don’t trust one of his female friends as I find her actions off. The insecurities started after her engagement party when I got the spidy tingles. The next morning my boyfriend confirmed they had a situationship for two years - ended in 2022ish. I was friendly with my ex and spoke openly about this prior so was unsure why he didn’t tell me - he said he didn’t want me to feel uncomfortable. Since then I’ve noticed off actions. They say “love you” when ending a phone call, he limited their contact to once every few months and she called saying “why don’t you love me anymore?”, sent him a photo memory of them in his bed wearing his shirt with no context, and on their last call made an inside joke after inviting us to stay at her house saying he could sleep on the dog bed at hers, but I could get my own room at her parents house. I laughed out of awkwardness and she said “how’s the fake laugh?”. I told my boyfriend these things make me uncomfortable and we had a levelled respectful conversation. He said he hadn’t noticed these things as off but can see my perspective. I don’t think she has romantic feelings, but more like she is trying to big dog me. He said he will end the friendship, but I’m not sure that is fair. What do you think? How should we approach this? MIL HAS GIVEN ME THE ICK My mother in law has given me the ick, and my poker face is wearing thin. 1 year ago, my partner and I got matching tattoos of hearts. About 3 months ago, my MIL was at an event and messaged our group chat to let us know the event had a tattoo artist and she was getting one (her first tattoo). Next minute she sends a photo of the tattoo and it's a heart! I thought this was a joke, but when it was confirmed as real, I felt really angry. We visited my MIL a few days later and we asked how she landed on the heart. She said there were a few options such as a flower or butterfly, but something was drawing her to the heart. My partner is not bothered by this, but he isn’t bothered by much. I however, feel she has taken away the significance from our matching tattoo as we are now in a tattoo throuple! It's been 3 months, so is this something I should just get over? I used to absolutely adore my MIL, she is kind and well meaning, and wouldn't have done this maliciously, but now I struggle to engage with her and avoid visiting where I can. How do I come back from the ick ?! DID MY HUSBAND GET ANOTHER WOMAN PREGNANT? About two months ago I told my husband that I am separating from him due to years of coercive control. Things started to get worse since we had our first child in May last year. My 'almost' ex husband recently asked me to bring him his old mobile phone (I haven't allowed him back into the house) and I thought that was strange so I snooped. I found his google history showed he had been on eharmony and also searched elite singles within one month of me saying it's over. However he’s still asking to fix things and get back together because ‘that is what's best for our child’. I also searched his photos and hidden deep in a file I found a photo of a pregnant woman. This photo was not a photo you send to anyone or post online. It's a selfie of her in her underwear in the mirror showing her bump. I snooped some more and found another photo of this same woman with another bump photo. I'm already jumping to conclusions and of course I’m thinking he got this woman pregnant. He does work fifo and is away for about 4 weeks at a time. Is this crazy for me to think he's cheated on me and has a child with another woman somewhere? Is there another logical explanation why it would be normal for a married man to have a photo like this hidden on their phones? I haven't confronted him yet as he is the type of man with narcissistic personality traits and will lie. What should I do? GETTING OVER THE LOSS OF MY CAT VIA BREAKUPHi girls, love the pods (cloud included). I am currently going through a breakup but I’m really struggling with the loss of our pet cat we had together. We bought him together (he paid so he is his) and honestly I think I held out on breaking up for so long because of the cat. I just have this constant worry he won’t be treated as well as how I was treating the cat and is this silly of me to feel this way about a FREAKING PET?! I have asked to see him but my ex says it is not possible and wants to keep things seperate. How do I get over this and this guilt I have of leaving the cat with him (Btw my ex is a great cat dad but I treat my animals like babies and he sees them as pets and that’s what makes it hard).

Understanding Unicornuate Uterus: What It Is, Prevalence, Risks, and a Positive Outlook A unicornuate uterus is a rare congenital condition where the uterus develops with only one half, or "horn," instead of the typical two-horned shape of a normal uterus. This happens during fetal development when one of the Müllerian ducts, which form the uterus, fails to develop fully. As a result, the uterus is smaller, has only one functioning fallopian tube, and may or may not have a rudimentary horn (a small, underdeveloped second horn). This condition falls under the category of Müllerian duct anomalies, which affect the female reproductive tract. For those diagnosed, understanding the condition, its implications, and the potential for a healthy pregnancy can provide reassurance and hope.   What Is a Unicornuate Uterus? The uterus typically forms as a pear-shaped organ with two symmetrical halves that fuse during fetal development. In a unicornuate uterus, only one half develops fully, creating a smaller-than-average uterine cavity. This anomaly can occur with or without a rudimentary horn, which may or may not be connected to the main uterine cavity. If a rudimentary horn is present, it might cause complications like pain if it accumulates menstrual blood, as it often lacks a connection to the cervix or vagina. The condition is often diagnosed during routine imaging, such as an ultrasound, MRI, or hysterosalpingogram (HSG), typically when a woman seeks medical advice for fertility issues, pelvic pain, or irregular menstruation. In some cases, it's discovered incidentally during pregnancy or unrelated medical evaluations.   How Prevalent Is It? Unicornuate uterus is one of the rarest Müllerian duct anomalies, occurring in approximately 0.1% to 0.4% of women in the general population. Among women with Müllerian anomalies, it accounts for about 2% to 13% of cases. The condition is congenital, meaning it's present at birth, but it often goes undiagnosed until adulthood because many women experience no symptoms. Its rarity can make it feel isolating for those diagnosed, but awareness and medical advancements have made it easier to manage and understand. Risks Associated with Unicornuate Uterus While many women with a unicornuate uterus lead healthy lives, the condition can pose challenges, particularly related to fertility and pregnancy. The smaller uterine cavity and reduced endometrial surface area can increase the risk of certain complications, though these are not inevitable. Below are some potential risks: Fertility Challenges: The smaller uterus and single fallopian tube may slightly reduce the chances of conception, especially if the rudimentary horn or other structural issues interfere with ovulation or implantation. However, many women with a unicornuate uterus conceive naturally without intervention. Miscarriage: The limited space in the uterine cavity can increase the risk of miscarriage, particularly in the first trimester. Studies suggest miscarriage rates may be higher (around 20-30%) compared to women with a typical uterus, though exact figures vary. Preterm Birth: The smaller uterus may not accommodate a growing fetus as easily, potentially leading to preterm labor or delivery before 37 weeks. Research indicates preterm birth rates in women with a unicornuate uterus range from 10-20%. Fetal Growth Restriction: The restricted uterine space can sometimes limit fetal growth, leading to low birth weight or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Malpresentation: Babies in a unicornuate uterus may be more likely to position themselves in a breech or transverse position due to the confined space, which could complicate delivery. Cesarean Section: While not mandatory, a cesarean may be recommended in cases of malpresentation, preterm labor, or other complications. However, this is not a universal requirement. Other Complications: Women with a unicornuate uterus may have a higher risk of endometriosis or painful periods, especially if a non-communicating rudimentary horn is present. Kidney abnormalities are also associated with Müllerian anomalies, as the kidneys and reproductive tract develop simultaneously in the fetus. Despite these risks, it's critical to note that not every woman with a unicornuate uterus will experience these complications. With proper medical care, many achieve successful pregnancies and deliveries.   A Positive Outlook: Normal Vaginal Delivery Is Probable The diagnosis of a unicornuate uterus can feel daunting, but it's important to emphasize that a healthy, full-term pregnancy and a normal vaginal delivery are entirely possible. Advances in obstetrics and prenatal care have significantly improved outcomes for women with this condition. Here's why you can remain optimistic: Personalized Care: Working with an experienced obstetrician or maternal-fetal medicine specialist ensures close monitoring throughout pregnancy. Regular ultrasounds can track fetal growth, position, and amniotic fluid levels, allowing for timely interventions if needed. Not Doomed to Cesarean: While some women may need a cesarean due to specific complications, many with a unicornuate uterus deliver vaginally without issue. The decision depends on factors like fetal position, labor progression, and overall health, not the uterine anomaly alone. Full-Term Pregnancies Are Achievable: With careful monitoring, many women carry their pregnancies to term (37-40 weeks). Preterm birth is a risk, but it's not a certainty, and modern neonatal care can support babies born slightly early if needed. Healthy Babies: Countless women with a unicornuate uterus give birth to healthy, thriving babies. The condition does not inherently affect the baby's development or genetic health. Support and Advocacy: Connecting with others who have similar experiences, whether through online communities or support groups, can provide emotional strength and practical advice. Knowing you're not alone can make all the difference. A unicornuate uterus is a rare but manageable condition that requires awareness and, in some cases, specialized care. While there are risks to consider, they are not insurmountable, and many women with this anomaly experience successful pregnancies and vaginal deliveries without complications. With the right support, you can embrace your unique journey, knowing that a unicornuate uterus does not mean you're destined for preterm birth, cesarean delivery, or pregnancy complications. Instead, it's a testament to your resilience and the incredible capabilities of modern medicine to support you every step of the way.   Connect With Us: YouTube: Dive deeper into pregnancy tips and stories atyoutube.com/maternalresources .

On this edition of Political Breakfast, the team talks about the life of Adriana Smith, her unborn child and a Georgia law that appears to be holding her grieving family hostage. Adriana is brain dead, but has been kept on life support since February because she's pregnant. Her family says it's time for Adriana to rest in peace -- peace that's entangled in a restrictive law that bans most abortions after six weeks. It's an issue people are talking about, including host, Lisa Rayam, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and the Atlanta Civic Circle's Saba Long, who is sitting-in for Tharon Johnson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Ali sits down with her dear friend and Fertility Rally member, Caitlin Trabert, for a raw and powerful conversation about her long and deeply emotional path to parenthood. Caitlin opens up about the heartbreak of multiple pregnancies and subsequent losses, her husband's balanced translocation, and the toll of IVF—physically, emotionally, and mentally. From the crushing "egg winner" high to the "zero embryos" low, a surprise pregnancy that ended in miscarriage, and learning her mom had breast cancer on the same day she was miscarrying—Caitlin talks about how hard it is to trust your body after so much loss, and joining Fertility Rally—an experience she describes as the best decision she's made. She talks about welcoming her daughter, Parker, into the world, and finally, being pregnant again with a baby that's due this year.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; pregnancy loss; miscarriage; IVF; embryo transfers; egg retrievals, pregnancy after infertility; balanced translocation Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsEPISODE SPONSORS:WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

In this emergency episode, we're ringing the alarm bells: We just learned that in the state of Georgia, a woman named Adriana Smith who was declared brain-dead in February, is being forcibly kept on a ventilator due to the state's strict abortion ban, against her family's wishes. It's been over 90 days. Her mother, April Newkirk has said, “It's torture for me."Dr. Michele Goodwin breaks down Adriana Smith's case, and the cases of other women who, like Smith, have been disrespected and desecrated in death thanks to abortion bans and pregnancy exclusion laws. Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show

In this episode, we call out the problems that have arisen as a result of adoption of and adherence to the Freebirth Society ideology while also holding space for a woman's legal and moral right to choose to have a Freebirth.Ultimately, this is about the need for leaders to act in integrity and for everyone to remember that rarely two truths exist in extremes. All choices are valid, however in order for them to be authentically empowered, they must be made with true informed consent and an informed risk assessment which is unlikely to happen if a birthworker has solely received a virtual training rooted in biases, hyperbole, and a lack of evidence, just as much as it's unlikely to happen with a fearful OB who is encouraging weekly routine ultrasounds and a 39 week induction.We unpack the overused and misused phrase “variations of normal” in order to delineate a few examples of what would actually be abnormal and a reason to seek additional support.Freebirth continues to be a valid choice, however women deserve to have the full scope of outcomes objectively presented to them in all fairness.Risk is inherently everywhere, and there will always be a mysterious element to loss, however the key is to walk into your pregnancy with a true sense of confidence and options rather than a false sense of one.Recommended resources:Free MOTR Questions Guide to Vet Your Birthkeeper/AttendantReddit, so you can be the judge of what's wrong with this organizationNathan Riley podcast episode featuring Kristine LauriaDr. Sarah Wickham's book “What's Right For Me”“Whose Body Is It” podcast episode featuring midwife Mary Lou SingletonSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

Recorded: May 7th 2025 | To celebrate Mother’s Day, we’re dropping a bonus episode. Will Compton sat down with his wife, Charo Compton, to talk through the raw, emotional, and honest journey that brought them to parenthood — through IVF. From the moment they realized getting pregnant wouldn’t be easy, to the hormone shots, the heartbreaks, the hope, and finally holding their second daughter — this conversation dives into the real highs and lows that so many couples go through in silence. They talk about how IVF impacted their marriage, what it taught them about patience, communication, and showing up for each other when nothing feels certain. This episode is for the couples still in the thick of it, the moms who fought to become moms, and anyone who’s ever had to battle for their family. You’re not alone — and you’re stronger than you think.
