Pregnancy is a profound experience, often bringing joy, anticipation, and an endless stream of questions. But what if the pregnancy you’re experiencing isn't exactly...  earthly ?

Pregnancy is often described as a time of anticipation, joy, and a rollercoaster of emotions—but there's one aspect that many expecting mothers don’t always anticipate: time.
