Line Severinsen, an illustrator animator and mother of two in Bergen, has a funny series of simple webcomics that share some of the challenges and everyday realities of being an expectant mom. We all know motherhood can be tough, but her comic - Kos og Kaos, or "Cuddles and Chaos" in English - illustrates these struggles in a fun and approachable way.

Severinsen started her comic when she was pregnant in 2012, and continued it after a brief hiatus when she was pregnant with her second child (who was born in May of this year). Let us know in the comment section, mommies – did she get it right?

Maybe it's a Southern thing. I loved it when peopled oohed and aahed and--within an unspoken agreement with strangers that perhaps only Southerners understand--layed a gentle, affirming hand on my belly. Even down South, it's all in the context. No one ever touched me, even once, outside of this unspoken "dance" of permission, but I'm sure anyone who doesn't know the steps might be offended. I can assure everyone, though, that it's a long tradition here that was only ever meant to show support, encouragement and a kind of shared joy.

Mine broke in a store but I made in time to get to the hospital. I took the subway because I was afraid I would get stuck in traffic.

LOL, Everyone misunderstands what that term means, twice the nutrition not twice the calories.

I became toxemic in both my pregnancies, learning that edema is no joke. Can be very dangerous. There's swelling, and there's, "I pressed my finger on my foot 20 minutes ago and you can still see the dimple."

This is hilarious. I needed a comic relief from my suffering (34 weeks, 40 days to go)! Thank you ♡

What is the worth of a beach body compared to creating a human being?

I never had Placenta Previa(thank God) but my mom did & yeah she sure was a ticking time bomb! She went to the hospital so many times & the last time they couldn't stop the bleeding my sister was born a month premature, she'll be 32 on the 28th, I didn't want a sister when she was born but I changed my mind along time ago, I love her so much now!
