Abby opens up about becoming a VBAC candidate, navigating the risks and emotions that come with it, and why reaching the third trimester feels especially meaningful after our loss. We also talk pregnancy hormones, strange sympathy symptoms, birth prep, AI robots (for some reason), and why we’re trading a babymoon for a “nesting moon.” Plus, Matt and Abby take an ultimate pregnancy quiz.
