I had my three appointments today - the first which was that nasty old
anti-D injection, which went ok. I mentioned the cravings for plastic/pica,

something like BH's, a tightening kind of feeling.
Would 17 weeks be too early to feel BH's?
I have definitely felt them further on with all of my other pregnancies.

I am 16.5 weeks pregnant.  And I have had a migraine for 2 and a half
weeks.  It goes away for a few hours here and there, but comes right
back.  I have tried caffeine, percoset. sleeping, massages.  I wear
sunglasses all day long inside and out.  So far I have taken 4 days off

Isn't it normal to get the outie button in late pregnancy? When does
this typically occur?
I've expected it for weeks now (I'm 31 weeks), it's flat, so no longer

I was talking with my neighbor yesterday about her youngest child, who
is 6, has ADD & medicated (doesn't surprise me, actually)
She was saying she put him in private school because he would get lost
