I get tons of them, sometimes 5 minutes apart for hours and hours. I'm 32 weeks now. Reading the other posts about positioning, I would agree personally. They were when he was transverse and my body was probably trying to move him...

Mine were not all that painful, but then the labor itself was painful so maybe I didn't notice! I only had 1 or 2 though as my water had ruptured 12 hours before labor started so they didn't want to check much for fear of introducing...

About 50/50 mix of various public schools and Catholic schools (we moved a lot). None terrible, none spectacular. A few really incredible teachers that I feel priviledged to have met, a few really horrible ones that still bring anger...

I have a 3yo also. He loves the big yellow bus mainly. So we got a chance to ride on one at the county fair (shuttle from the parking lot). He was happy he got to ride. I explained that sometimes you don't have to go to school to...
