I'm about four weeks along, and everything has been going
normally...except twice now I've experienced a VERY sharp (but quite
brief - one instant and it's gone) pain on the left side of my
abdomen.  The first time it happened was about a week ago, when I

Hi all, I've looked through old postings on the site and didn't find a

Ok, so I've had an interesting development.  I am currently 7 weeks
pregnant and am getting married in 9 days.  But my problem is that
I've noticed that I have either poison ivy or oak in the corners of my
lips and on my eyelids.  I've had this several times before on my face

I am now 30 weeks pregnant with my third baby, feeling the baby kick
regularly. Lately, I've been getting these strange movements, and I'm
curious as to what they are. You know how sometimes you get a rapid
twitching sensation for a few seconds in an arm or leg muscle? The baby

I am 32 weeks pregnant and for 2 weeks now I have had a horrible pain in the
top of my stomach. It spreads from under my left breast all the way over to
my back. The skin in this area is numb. The pain feels like a bunch of
bumblebees stinging me over and over again. It goes away ...

My wife and I are expecting our first bundle of joy in about 6 and a bit
weeks, and it is still breech. Can anyone tell me if this is still normal,
and also how late babies can turn if they are going to?  My wife is really
worried about this, I am too, and I hope someone can ...
