i have trouble identifying the acronyms used on here sometimes...!

[alannabanana]

...have seen OP used when describing baby's position, what does it stand for please?
(sorry for being dumb )

Ocipto posterior {sp???)

Is a standard medical term though - not Mn

Occiput Posterior - the baby is head down, but facing your tummy.

Occiput Posterior which means the baby is facing towards your tummy rather than facing towards your back. It is also called 'back to back' and can mean to a longer labour with back pain.
The opposite is OA or Occiput Anterior which is the position you'd like to have your baby in ideally!

ah yes, the back-to-back thing - i get it now. thanks! have only ever heard it called back-to-back before now.

ps - another one that gets me is when people write 'iyswim' or something like that...any ideas??

pps - when i first started posting on here i didn't even know what dh meant!

god it all seems so obvious now. im not a thickie honest, just a relative newbie!

while you're at it what does BLW stand for when referring to feeding? thanks in advance for any replies

Look here, OP Don't worry - I've been here over a year and am still getting my head round it

AF - I know it relates to periods but I can't work out what it stands for - can anyone help?

Aunty Flow for AF.

If you haven't seen it, there is a tab at the top of this page called 'acronyms' that lists some of the common ones.
This isn't meant to sound patronising by the way - I found it really useful!

Oh while we're asking - what the hell is SWI'ing (in relation to conception)?

From the context it's clearly having sex, but have been racking my brains trying to figure out a euphemism with those initials!

Ahhh, minipie - that's another one I wanted to know too.

Pixie cake - I have read through the acronyms but AF (or SWI) for that matter are not on there

Dammit madcats, I got all excited and thought you were going to give me the answer.

I think it might be "Shagging Without Ixxxx" but can't work out what begins with I. Impediments?

I'm probably way off.

Sex with intent? Something to do with TTC I think but I don't know

Maybe we could invent out own meaning?

Shagging without ice cream?
itching?

How about Sleeping With Impregnator

Or, Sex Will Increase?

Oh I don't know.

Someone tell us, please.

Shagging With Intent

thanks cosmosis - I'll rest easy now!

Ahhhhh

thank you!

it's because we thought all the alternatives were a bit twee, we preferred to be a bit more straight talking!
