Pregnancy + Birth

Pregnancy and the birth of a new baby are some of the sweetest – and sometimes most challenging – seasons of a women’s life. The category of Pregnancy + Birth features articles to help you every step of the way — trimester tips, baby shower inspo, etc. — as well as how to find an OBGYN, where to connect with local support groups, helpful books to read, the best birth options in Dallas, and more!

Dallas Moms publishes original, personal stories and advice from local moms, as well as relevant and fun information for those of us in the trenches of parenthood.

Every article published via Dallas Moms — whether someone from our in-house team, a guest writer, or a sponsored writer — uses their words to reflect their own opinions, experiences, and beliefs. No singular post or collection of posts represents the opinions, beliefs, or agenda of Dallas Moms.

My closest friends know that I treat the (supremely flawed) show Sex and the City like my own personal self-help book, occasional best friend, and security blanket all rolled into one. And while I wouldn't call myself a Carrie...
The Mommy Makeover. The elusive way that only celebrities and rich women "get their bodies back" after having children. But, we are normal moms, right? We don't have trainers. We don't have chefs. We don't have (gasp!) plastic surgeons!...
I feel like I've been in "recovery" from my first pregnancy for three years. Pregnancy can definitely take a toll on a woman's body. I knew it would be important to take it easy after delivering my sweeet baby...
Apparently my mom told me stories of her "difficult" pregnancies before I was expecting my first, but I don't remember that at all. Mom was really sick, and lost a lot of weight, and couldn't keep working. I have...
My friend Amanda Cunningham is the leader of the Mesquite and Garland YoungLives Club and she's opened my eyes over the last couple of years to a group of moms we often overlook: teen moms. In the mom-group and...
One of the best gifts I received as a first time mom-to-be? A huge bag full of hand-me-downs from my best friend, full of baby clothes and shoes her two girls had worn. Going through that bag, I remember...
When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn’t a word to describe them. This...
