Very annoying but thought I found the solution when I started to use an app on my phone instead and had my phone in my coat pocket. ..but now it's getting warmer and I don't have a pocket for my phone. Has anybody found a good way to track steps?

My emotions are all over the place and I feel super sad/angry/annoyed for a few days and then have days of feeling happy/energetic again. I hate the way I feel and look a lot of the time.

I am now an insomniac from all the broken sleep from the baby stage and never quite shook it off I’ve tried everything to reset my sleep but it’s like adrenaline through my body at night. I’ve done CBT and p...

Does anyone else’s baby sometimes go completely stiff? Both arms straight above head and both legs dead straight? It’s always when I lay her down, but not every time. She doesn’t appear to be in any discomfort, it almost looks like she’s straining. Doc not concerned but just wondering if anyone else’s baby does this?

Is it work ringing triag...
