11 Things About Labour and Birth That No One Talks About. Top Story - February 2019.
Two weeks ago, I gave birth to my first son Roman. He arrived at 6AM on January 8, four days early, on the date I wanted. I asked my belly and he listened. He shares his birthday with Bowie, Elvis, and Stephen Hawking, and I have never been so overwhelmed with love and emotion in my life. Everyone tells you, "You don’t know love till you have kids."

Anyone can tell you what love feels like but when you become parent and lay eyes on your newborn baby,you feel overwhelmed with true love, you entire soul is filled with what love truly is. You think that the love for you child is at a max but everything they do for the first time, their first crawling,their first step, their first word fills you with more love that you thought couldn’t fill you with but it’s can. Becoming a parent is an amazing thing and makes you realize what love really is

Life After Maternity Leave: Work Edition
I never knew I could fall in love instantly until the day my son was born. Early May, a day before my own mom's birthday, I gave birth to my son. From getting induced, to finally receiving an epidural, to his long-awaited arrival, everything honestly felt like it went by quickly. Now he's eight months, nearing nine.

Rainbow Baby
Let's start this post off from the beginning of my journey into motherhood. December 1, 2017, my cycle had been five days late, I took a test before going to work and got those two beautiful pink lines. It had been eight months of my fiancee and I not preventing pregnancy. We were both so excited and scared! I made an appointment to see my doctor that following Monday. Sure enough, doctors confirmed what we already knew... we were going to have out first baby!

How the Comper Smart Fertility Tracker Helps You Get Pregnant Faster
Getting pregnant isn't as easy as television shows make it out to be. Most people who try to conceive rarely ever get blessed within the first month that they are trying to have a child. In fact, studies show that it can take months to be able to get pregnant—and that's when you're actively trying.

Don't Get a C-Section
I am 31 years old and my husband is 36. We are trying to conceive. My cervix is posterior, which means sperm can't reach the opening. I want to have a family, but there is danger in pregnancy and childbirth. I am scared. Would I be a good mother? How long would it take me to heal? I have seen so many women in my life give birth to gorgeous babies and yet I am still worried about the pain and recovery time. The US doesn’t have many companies that have paid maternity leave. My husband and I found a fertility clinic and we are meeting with a physician in the end of January. We are still going to go for it because you are never truly ready for anything.
