My secret? Sometimes I miss my best friend—my husband

My husband—my best friend, my roommate—is sometimes the person I miss the most. 

Your TTC journey: Keep it spicy. Keep it real.

She who is brave is free. How's your partner handling the TTC process? Is he loving all the action—or stressing about his fertility? We checked in on common men's fears when trying to get pregnant. Long story short: He wants to know if his boys can swim, if you're happy and healthy, and how he's going to afford all those diapers. Your job? Remind him that these worries are so normal, and that you're in this together. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. These are the 10 questions you should discuss as a couple before getting pregnant. We asked the experts, rounded up their answers and even put them into a printable format to bring to your next date night. If only we could answer them for you, too…

You do you, mama ‍♀️

You've got this. It's so tempting to play the comparison game when TTC: She got pregnant right away, she needed to see a fertility specialist and can you believe that SHE'S having a kid? Pro tip from the team at Motherly: Every woman is different, so don't waste time comparing your experience to someone else's. Some women have awful morning sickness, while others barely notice they're pregnant the whole first trimester. Some rock maternity jeggings like pregnant glamazons, and some off us swear off pants until our kids are in kindergarten (long live maxi skirts ♀️). You do you, mama. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Motherly is a judgment-free zone. We think you're amazing just the way you are.

Work it out, baby

So, what's the wackiest thing you've done while trying to make a baby? Held your legs up for 30 minutes post-sex? (Us too.) Squeezed in a quickie while your other kids watched Wonder Pets? (Guilty.) Run home between work meetings for a little afternoon delight? (Sames.) Gone for it in your childhood bedroom because you were ovulating while staying at your parents' house? (We're not judging.) Who knew creating human life could be so weird and wonderful? XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Make sure you're using sperm-friendly lube when you're getting down to baby town. We've successfully conceived using Pre-Seed—now with antioxidant support to keep those sperm nourished for their big journey.
