Re: Aminah (preg., loss ment.)

[Guest guest]

Thanks Aminah! Good tips on getting baby to move!

Clearly ive been spoiled so far in the preg bc my

baby has been so active (which is reassuring)- this is

yet another thing stressing out women in MA pregs-

you'd think it was over when you get thru the 2nd

trimester- but I guess the worry is constant. I had a

few weeks of relative " almost relief " but that phase

has clearly ended - as Jen's story points out

anything can happen, even very late.

Thanks for your support and advice! Ill keep you

posted
