Anyone else have an extremely clingy toddler (2) the closer they get to due date?

I am 38 weeks today, meaning I could have my first baby any day now. I have been so excited to meet him but am so nervous for labor and labor pains. I do plan to get an epidural but I am just so fearful of the pain before and after or that my epidural won’t work etc.. It isn’t uncommon for me to be anxious but this ...

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she had her wic appointment today. She is 35 inches and 29.8 pounds. Should I be concerned? I'm 4"9 and my husband is 5"6. I just don't want her to be short like me

39 weeks and 2 days first time mom & zero dilation. Do anyone have any tips. I have tried walking, and raspberry tea. I just brought dates, okra and primrose oil to give it a try.

Just wondering if anyone else suffers with this? And if you have any advice on how to deal with it. I’ve had it since pregnancy, and it got a lot worse once I gave birth, especially in the newborn phase. It’s gotten a bit better recently but sometimes pops up (like today) and I really struggle to deal with it and en...

I’ve only been seeing my baby’s dad since the start of August… I’m 6 weeks pregnant. Does any one else have a similar situation. At the start of the year I came out of a year and a half relationship ( very toxic ) but I still think about him as I really really loved him ( I lived with him for nearly all of the relat...

35+1 days and I'm honestly so uncomfortable!! I can't find a position that is comfy and the pressure on my pelvis feels like baby is trying to birst through 🤣😭 The acid reflux, constipation, insomnia, dizzy spells. Can't wait for this pregnancy to be over and have my amazing baby boy here!! 🩵

Had my glucose tolerance test today and I feel absolutely shattered. I went to bed at 1.30 and got out at 5pm. Has anyone else had it and felt so exhausted? I don’t remember it being so bad last time!

My baby is 9 months and I’m strugglinggggg with the morning sickness and looking after him the way I usually do and I’m only 7 weeks!
