Has anyone got any ideas what we can do in this scenario? I'm due to be induced on Sunday, and I know it can take anywhere from 1 to 5 days. I'm already upset that I have to be induced and don't want to labour and birth alone. Me and my partner did a test during the night where I rang him when I went to the toilet j...

What songs did you have on your playlist for an elective c section? Didn’t realise how much pressure i’d feel picking the right songs 😂

One of our twins is Alfred (Alfie) and we need to decide on a name for the other twin. My partner is set on Arthur, which I love but I’m worried it’s too matchy for identical twins - what do you think? Other names we are considering are Leonard or Hugo. Any preferences or other name suggestions? Also does Hugo have ...

Tonight in Iowa we were expecting storms. There was a bit of a tornado chance (5% probability) but it wasn’t supposed to get bad. However things escalated to a point I never expected. There was a tornado warning in Malvern, heading straight toward my town (Red Oak) so I got the kids ready, woke my husband up since...

My girls birthday was March 20th. During the same time my husband was switching jobs so we couldn’t afford have her first birthday party. Is it too late to do it? Does it matter? I feel guilty that it’s so late.

Those dang prenatal pills make me sick I didn't have morning sickness but I felt nauseous even in my second trimester and I found out my prenatal pills was the cause of the nauseous feeling. I stopped taking it in the morning and take it at night before bed anyone else feeling like this

I am 6 weeks pregnant and so nauseous it’s really hard to manage, I’m not physically sick and it eases with food little and often but I can’t get to the point where I can actually make food! Toast is one of the best that helps but making it makes me gag so bad when I make it 😂 Please tell me this eases off…

I keep waking up at 3am for a wee then I cannot sleep again until 6-7am! Even then I don’t sleep for long! I’m back to work next week and going to really struggle as I get up at 6:30am to get ready.
