    Abby, Abigail, and Addy are all pregnant at the same time - and there's a lot to talk about. From which trimester has been the hardest, to what it's really like sharing pregnancy news for the third time, to the moments that make them laugh (and cry) most. They spill birth stories, talk VBACs, and share why having their mom around postpartum is non-negotiable.
