When you are trying to conceive or once you are pregnant, you may spend a lot of time visiting websites, forums and blogs, to talk to other parents or just to read their comments.  What you may find though, as that just like teenagers and texting, there is a whole set of acronyms that are used within the pregnancy and parenting world.

So to give you a hand interpreting what TTC, TMI, 2WW and DD might mean, I have listed some of the more popular ones here.

If you know of any more, please drop as a line and let us know so we can add it to the list.
