Hi mommas, does anyone have experience with an umbilical hernia in their baby? Did it go away or get better, and if so, when? I know it's mostly cosmetic right now but it still makes me so anxious. Thanks in advance!

Hello ladies!

Has anybody had any experience with using fennel oil (essential oil, topically) to boost milk supply? I was recommended to try an all natural one that I've ordered online... in the meantime, I bought a tincture liquid of fennel oil at the vitamin shop but it says not to use if nursing or pregnant. I'm so confused! the one I bought is for ingesting, until I receive the essential oil to rub topically on my breasts. anyone have any success or been recommended fennel oil in any form?...

Happy Mothers Day to all of the amazing women who have the hardest, most thankless, and most rewarding job in the entire world. I'm so blessed to be able to celebrate my first mothers day this year with my little love in my arms.

My Savannah Marie made a surprise appearance at 37 weeks on May 4th, 2016 at 10:52pm. After a 6 hr labor admitted at 3cm with consistent contractions and a little leaking fluid, by 10:30 she burst my water bag, kicked me all the way to 10 cm and after only 12 minute...

Anybody have experience inducing their own labor successfully or getting contractions up and regular? I've had another close call and I'm just below 3cm, my contractions always seem to space out when I'm in triage (they take freaking forever to come back to check in)... I've been walking and using labor ball, drinking pineapple juice, and sex unfortunately won't happen...
anything else anyone has done that sent them over the edge? castor oil? red raspberry tea leaf? spices? please help!

Ladies complaining on here about "TMI" posts, not wanting to hear about "gross" things like discharge color, sex/horniness, etc. ... you don't have to read it. or like it. or agree with it. but that's exactly what this app is for -- for moms-to-be to be able to freely vent and ask questions and share unrestricted details about anything and everything they're feeling or going through. If you find the journey of pregnancy and all the dirty details that go with it to be gross, grow up and delete t...

Hi mommas, I have a TMI question 😔:

I noticed more chafing pain between my legs than usual... it's been warm, and I only have the same pairs of maternity pants + a maxi skirt that fit me at all, so my thighs constantly rub. Well, I'm still working for 2 more weeks and with my business casual dress code I have to wear pants, which are leggings, and so I still wear thongs.
I've discontinued this immediately and am panicked because I noticed some raised little sores on the skin between my vagi...

Cali moms, question: I make decent money, and boyfriend makes good money. we're not married. I pay half of the rent and bills plus my car payment and insurance each month so obviously not making my face value of my salary each month, but wondering if for only groceries, I could qualify for WIC in California since I'm legally single and expecting? I know they usually go off of your pre-tax salary which makes it look like I make more than I really take home, just asking because it'd help so incr...
