I have seen some posts regarding fetal movement.  Sometimes my baby moves
all day non stop, then other days the baby settles down.  When the baby
moves that much, my BH (braxton hicks) are very frequent and belly feels
tight etc.  But when the baby is calm, the belly feels better.

My husband and I just started trying to get pregnant.  Here is our
situation - he is in the navy and has just recently gotten posted ashore.
Because he will not be sent out to sea this is the perfect time for us to
start our family.  Does anyone have any tips for getting pregnant ...

As you said your EDD is tomorrow...
Wishing you a fast & painless delivery, healthy & happy baby and a fast
recovery,

sometimes I just blow out the biggest load of blood! - I am not blowing
too hard or excessively, nor am I feeling weak or giddy or sick.
Then last night, I was mukking around with my cat ( making it chase

Hi! I am 34 weeks and the baby is now moving almost all day. I sometime get

I've been lurking here since April, but my husband and I weren't ready
to TTC until just recently.
I went to my OB for a checkup and she did some bloodwork, discovering
that although I'm immune to rubella, I wasn't immune to chicken pox
