Acronyms? - Virginia Beach,VA

I belong to a preg. forum and STILL have to look things up and get lost from time to time. Hehe! There are so many and new ones being added everyday it seems.. It took me awhile as it does most i think!

DH, is dear husband, DD dear daughter, DS dear son, DP dear partner,,, also another good place to find what acronyms might mean what is to go to a pregnancy board and find the list (you can search for abbreviations in the forum) and usually that can give you an idea.. here is a small list (this is from babytalkzone.com) they can vary but usually these are pretty standard. Hope this helps..

AF = Aunt Flo (monthly visitor)
BC = Birth Control
BD = Baby Dance (sex with the intent of getting pregnant)
BF = Breast Feed
BM = Breast Milk
BRB = Be Right Back
BFN = Big Fat Negative (on pregnancy test)
BFP = Big Fat Positive (on pregnancy test)
BTW = By The Way
BTZ = Baby Talk Zone
CD = Cycle Day
CM = Cervical Mucous
CS = Cesarean Section
DD = Dear/Darling Daughter
DF = Dear/Darling Fiancee
DH = Dear/Darling Husband
DPO = Days Past Ovulation
DS = Dear/Darling Son

Don't feel bad, it took a while for me to get the ones I know down too. DH- Dear husband, DD- Dear daughter, DS- Dear son, SO- significant other, MIL- mother in law, FIL- father in law. Hope this helps.

I see others have answered your question, so I will just explain that the "DH", "DD", and "DS" all come from the Flylady web site. Flylady.net is a free home management mentoring service on the Internet (they send you encouraging and helpful e-mails if you want). It's great and really popular, so some of the lingo from there has become more "mainstream."

Hope this helps. Blessings to you!

Hi L.,

DH is dear husband.....DD is dear daughter........don't feel stupid, the internet has a language all its own, its takes awhile sometimes to get some of the abbrevations, they aggrevate me too

I think it's darling husband or d#@% husband if appropriate!
