Forum Post: when did you start to show
I would agree with what has already been posted - showed a lot faster with #2 than with #1. This time around it was very early into the second trimester (like Kiwi - 13-14 weeks) when I found that I n more »

Forum Post: April Pregnancy
With pain management or birthing plan, I think you have to keep it flexible. I knew that for me, I wasn't opposed to pain management (shots or epidural), so I just went with it. I started with just th more »
