One of the pleasures a pregnant lady enjoys is the absence of her monthly visitor. Nicknamed pretty Miss Sally, the crimson tide, or moontime, most women enjoy the hiatus from cramps, tampons, Advil, and mood swings — though the latter may make an appearance from time to time during expectant months.
