Pregnant women who can't make enough insulin during late pregnancy develop gestational diabetes. Being overweight or obese is linked to gestational diabetes which may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor.

I'm looking for some advice on an issue my spouse and I are facing. We've been married for six years and have a five-year-old daughter. We were apart for a while due to work, so we really haven't had regular penetrative sex in a bit. Now, when we're trying to get back into it, my spouse says she feels irritation in her vagina during penetration, even though we have a lot of foreplay and she's wet before we start. It's causing us to have trouble having intercourse. Should we be using a lubrication gel or is there any other remedy you'd suggest?

It sounds like your wife may be experiencing vaginal dryness or irritation. A good solution could be using a water-based lubricant like KY Jelly or Astroglide, which can help reduce friction and provide comfort during intercourse. If the issue persists, its best to consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation.

So, my wife took 10mg of PrimolutN to delay her period, but then we had sex. I'm just really worried nowdoes that mess up how the pill works? Like, could her period just show up anyway, despite taking the tablet?
