Most of you know this, and I see your references to your LO’s stages, but I’m still learning, and thought others might find this information helpful as well.  There is a detailed explanation of symptoms at each stage, as well as the usual/expected time line for progression.  It looks like I’d better take advantage of the next five years with my DH.
