It's BABY WEEK on 10 News!
All this week, we're going to help new moms-to-be and women who want to get pregnant, get ready for baby!
Many women have a lot of fear and anxiety when they think about the big, "birthday."
I can definitely relate!
I am just weeks away from giving birth to our first baby (a girl due in October).
Not only do I look like a snake that swallowed a watermelon, but like any new mom, I wonder what will happen during labor and delivery at Baby Place at All Children's.
I hope these stories will help answer a lot of your questions and put your mind at ease.
