Are Fetal Hiccups a Good Thing?

Every time my son gets the hiccups (which is at least once a day), I am reminded of when I was pregnant and his hiccups would make my whole belly move. I used to fill a tumbler half full with water and set it on my belly to watch the surface of the water move with each hiccup. It was a fun way for my husband to see what I was feeling all the time. When I noticed that the hiccups were coming once or twice a day, sometimes more, I wondered whether they were a sign of something good … Continue reading →

She is all over the place in my uterus these days twisting, flipping, hiccuping, kicking, elbowing etc. One particular day this week my son was sitting on my disappearing lap and had pressed his elbow into my belly, the baby responded with a … Continue reading →

Should I be Teaching My Baby?

A recent question in the forums addressed the idea of prenatal education. This would be teaching your baby while still in the womb in the hope that one day her I.Q. will be higher. The poster wanted to know if this is true, so I decided to look into it a bit. The idea isn’t entirely new. When I was pregnant with my first baby, mothers to be were being encouraged to read to the baby. We actually did do that, but not with the idea of making her smarter. After all, she was OUR baby. She would already be … Continue reading →
