Start small (think big)

Make every day Mother’s Day.

It’s okay to love motherhood—but miss your freedom, too.

Your progress report this week, mama? A+.

Rise and shine, mama!

This #momlife is full of so many things, but it’s especially full of love.

We do not fear the future, for the future is female—and full of inspiring men who stand beside us.

It's go time. We agree—you've been pregnant long enough. You've survived morning sickness, leg cramps, food cravings, due dates and impatient family members. YOU. ARE. READY. By this time, baby is fully developed and the lifespan of the placenta, which provides nutrients to baby, is running out. If you've waited this long, it's now time to give that little one some extra help entering the world—with the assistance of your medical provider. Go have a baby, you wonder woman! ✨ XO, TeamMotherly P.S. Update your Motherly profile with baby's birth day as soon as she's born so we can send you super-accurate details for life with your newborn.

How pregnant am I? Too pregnant. We know—you can't stand the wait. ⌚️ (We can't either!) But the countdown is now officially on, so use your bonus days pre-baby to slow down, sleep and envision your little one in your arms. Any day, baby will make his debut into the world. While you are not technically overdue until 42 weeks, we know it already feels like baby is late (you're grounded!) and your medical provider will likely start talking to you about induction planning. Your body is ready for labor, and we're just sitting here waiting for the mysterious, miraculous process to officially begin. Baby will be here very soon!XO, TeamMotherlyP.S. If you want to learn and practice labor coping skills, it's not too late to take Motherly's on-demand video birth class, which comes with bonus mp3 birth meditations you can use during labor. Deep breaths, mama! You've got this. ❤️ And remember, update your Motherly profile with baby's birth day as soon as she's born so we can send you super-accurate details for life with your newborn.

Her return has reignited a familiar conversation about the impossible expectations placed on women in leadership.

In her viral video, TikTok user @makenzie.athome shares the creative system she’s developed to teach her four and six-year-old children about finances.

The Chicago-based photographer and soon-to-be mom dropped this truth bomb while sharing what she's learned from the ultimate village-builder in her life—her mother.

“I pay my daughter to take naps. Not the baby, the toddler. And before you judge me, this s**t works.”

As the brushes spin and water cascades down the windows, his expression shifts from curiosity to awe to sheer delight.

Gadot opened up about her terrifying experience with a brain clot while pregnant.

The gates pose a risk because a child’s torso can fit through the opening between the gate and the floor.

But why do babies take such short naps? And more importantly, what can you actually do about it?
