Krimel,

Yes, there are similarites and differences between the experiences of 
pregnant women.  But in all cases women will have direct experiences of 
pregnancy.   In no cases will a man ever have direct experiences of 
pregnancy.   Can you get this???   I mean REALLY get this???   No, I doubt 
you do.
