    Am I not she who is your mother?

    By Jenny Uebbing

    I will never forget my labor with Genevieve, thus far my only daughter (though that title may be ceded in mere weeks now.) Partly because it was drawn out over 3 agonizingly long days of prodromal labor…

    A gentler pregnancy + some thoughts on body image

    By Jenny Uebbing

    When I was pregnant for the first time, nearly 8 years ago, I was a pretty stereotypical first-time mom: couldn’t wait for maternity clothes (um, why?), took ridiculous “bump update” progress shots in the full length mirror…

    In defense of “another” baby

    By Jenny Uebbing

    (Note: this is not a post claiming “there’s never a bad time to have a baby.” Hopefully if you’ve read more than one thing I’ve written over the years, you’ll know that’s not where I stand. End…

    Life lately: the state of the crew

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Motherhood + mental illness

    By Jenny Uebbing

    This is a tough subject to write on, but it’s probably in my top 5 most-emailed about questions/comments, so I know it’s one people are hungry to read about. There is a frustrating level of stigma and…

    An open letter to the Duchess of Cambridge on the announcement of her third pregnancy

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Anticipating baby number whaaaat?

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Oddly, or perhaps not, as veteran moms to many would likely tell me, I am actually more excited about this pregnancy than about any previous pregnancy save perhaps for number one. (And let’s be honest, number one…

    Pregnancy and body image

    By Jenny Uebbing

    I jokingly posted on Facebook yesterday about my enviable willpower at the grocery store involving a regular sized Snickers bar. (Spoiler alert: I ate the whole thing.) Truth be told, pregnancy is a time of life for…

    In which there is no hope

    By Jenny Uebbing
