I just wasn't sure about the Moxa cause one of my teachers once said that 
the heat could confuse the fetus's mind.. but hey I bet that's if one does 
it on the lower abdomen etc.. or feat.. but I don't see how moxa on the 
wrist affects the fetus.

Thanks for your reply
By the way did your Rabi ever give you any answers?
do you ever visit Israel?
