:: Definitely better.  I do question, however, the use of "sometimes".  If a family pet is "pregnant", is "gestating" ''ever'' used (except perhaps by the vet)?  Is anything other than "pregnant" used?  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:50, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

I am removing this footnote: "In medical terms pregnancy is used only to describe the state of a human mother. In informal and agricultural circles it is often used to describe the state of any gestating mammal."  This makes no sense at all.  If anybody is a veterinarian and can confirm that animals are not referred to as pregnant, feel free to revert.  [[User:Corry|Corry]] 00:05, 25 October 2008 (EDT)
