Re: Introductions and EDD's
Hi, I am Shannon. I am a working mom to an adorable baby girl who just turned 8 months old on Saturday. Apparently the hubbie and I are both very fertile. I just got back from my annual OBGYN visit where I found out, very much to my surprise, that I am pregnant again and an due 3/10/2010! I am breastfeeding and got my first period in May but didn't think anything about not getting another because of the breastfeeding. This is truly a shock, I haven't even told my husband yet. I want to do that in person so I will tell him tonight! Anyway, I live in Alabama and am also on the November 2008 board.

Re: Introductions and EDD's
I already introduced myself on the board but i will do it here too b/c im sure is way back on page 3 or 4 lol.
My name is Jessica and I live in S.C. I have a bf and we have one son together. he is 4 yrs. old. I am pregnant with his 2nd child. I am divorced and in that marriage I had 6 kids.
I am 31 years old. (yes i started having kids really early in age)
I am older now, know what i am doing. and know what i want. and this pregnancy was planned.
I came down a long road of hell and back and finally got it all together in my life. I am happy now and hope it continues to stay that way. :)
My other 6 children, who i had with the ex husband are ages 13,12, 11,9,8, and 6.
My EDD is March 12th.

Hello~! I'm back from an earlier club of March 07. My name is April and we have a 2 year old named Josephine. I found this site to be really useful in the past. Esp. for first pregnancy.
I'm not used to all the text lingo, so you'll have to bear with me. I don't know what alot of the abbreviations sand for.
Now, Our second baby has the EXACT same EDD (3-18-10) that our first had. Jo was born on 3/20 so is going to be a big birthday present!
We haven't been trying, but not necessarily avoiding either. I just woke up last Sunday morning at 4:30am and realized that I hadn't had a period in a while. Got a test later that day, and it was kind of inconclusive, but went to the clinic on Monday and got a POSITIVO with a value of 57.8 (meaning 3 - 5 weeks) However, my period in May was soooo weird, that I wondered if I could be more than that. According to the levels, no.
Have an appointment on Friday, so I'm excited. Will be taking a month to spend at my parents and will be past the first trimester when I return. It will be so fun to do this again. I had a WONERFUL first pregnancy, so I'm really looking forward to this.
Will keep signing in to meet you all!

Re: Mommy Kitty & Baby Josie
Congrats everyone! I am new to this whole board thing and not sure if I am doing it correctly! I am excited yet nervous to be pregnant. . .I have a 5 year old DD and a 2 year old DS and I am nervous that I may be pregnant with twins again. . .my last pregnancy (DS) was identical twins but I had Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, long story short I had laser surgery to correct it at 19 weeks and lost one of the twins, then Mason came at 27 weeks gestation and we were in the NICU for 65 days. He is a happy healthy baby boy now and I feel very blessed. . .just nervous because I have the same early symptoms now that I had with twins last time. . .
My EDD is March 16th according to computer calcualtions. Had a blood test to check progesterone levels and repeat tonight, if the levels seem ok, Dr won't worry, but if they seem higher than they should be, I will go in for another ultrasound to see if they can see anything. (They sent me in at 4 weeks but of course didn't see anything).
I'm excited to be pregnant and I am just hoping for a single healthy FULL TERM baby! I had always dreamed of having identical twins but after the last time, I am really afraid of what may happen! Also, I'm going to be adjusting from 2-3 kids, not sure how to handle from 2-4!!
Happy to be pregnant (again) with my cousin who is also on this board! It's always fun to have a family member to be pregnant with! =)

Re: Introductions and EDD's
Hi, everyone! I am still a little...ok a LOT... in shock to be here! My name is Amy, and I am the proud mommy of a 4yoDD and a 14moDD. I recognize some of you from the May '08 and TTC boards from way long ago. Sami, for example! Yay, yay, yay, you're here! And hi there, Mandee! I still remember pics of your nursery and how cute it was! I hope to get to know the rest of you very well by the end of all of this. I do have a history of mc as well, so right now I am cautiously hopeful. DH and I were NOT trying at all. We are so surprised right now. I cannot believe that I got pregnant while on bc, but I guess this must be in God's plan, right? We will make it work. I know we will! Anyway, it's nice to meet all of you!

Re: Mommy Kitty & Baby Josie
Hello All. My name is Terra and this is #4 for me. I have a 4yr old DD, a 2yr old son, and a 4mth old DD. I have had a long history of infertility and it took me lots of drugs and hormones to get PG with all my kids. I have tough PG's and each baby came earlier and earlier. DD @ 37wks, DS @ 36.5wks, DD @ 34 wks. This baby WASNT planned and was a complete shock. I got my cycles back last month and am still BF'ing. AF was late and I was sick. DH made me buy a test and I knew I was going to waste a test. But at 9PM with diluted pee, I saw a line come up immediately. The line ended up being pretty dark. I was CD35 and 17dpo. From LMP my EDD is March 18th 2010. So looks like I will have a Feb baby if this one comes like the others. IRISH TWINS for me! Oh yay this will be FUN! <Note the Sarcasm.....LOL! I am trying to wrap my head around this still. Trying to get excited but that is a lil hard with just getting adjusted to a 4mth old and thinking of having to do this all over again. Guess I am blessed I guess. Fertility is restored. LOL

Re: Introductions and EDD's
Hi everyone! I recognize one or two people on here from my July 08 birth club..AngelaP. :) My name is Becky and I just got a BFP on Tuesday. I am estimating I'm either due on the 16th or the 23rd. Not completely sure yet. I'm hoping for the 23rd. I'm a teacher and really want maternity leave and don't want to have to take too much unpaid time. The later in March the better. I have one DS who just turned one on July 15th. His name is Alex and he is the joy in my life. DH and I basically just started trying a last cycle so we were pretty surprised at how quickly it happened. Although we shouldn't have been since it happened quickly with Alex too. I'm hoping for a smooth pregnancy like my first. I'm still debating between a c-section or a vbac. Alex was a week late, we were induced and after 12 hours of labor, resulted in a c. Hoping for a smoother delivery this time! Can't wait to get to know all of you.

Re: Introductions and EDD's
My name is Megan and we are expecting baby #3....second birth baby. We are so blessed to have adopted my 3 1/2 year old son and have a 14 month old little man as well! It took us over 3 years to get preggo with our 14 mo old, but we realized it was because we needed to adopt first! We were surprised to have gotten preggo so fast this time around, but are SO excited. I am due about March 6th...but could be as late as March 10th - we will know after our first doc appt. We are thrilled...and are even more excited because my little sister is due with her first 2 1/2 weeks before me! I LOVE being pregnant!

OMg-- Our stories are almost exactly alike. I also have 2 DD my oldest is 3 and half (4 in Nov) and my youngest is 15 months. I also got pregnant on b/c and I had gotten pregnant inNov onb/c as well and had a m/c... I have had 2 m/c overal so this is my 5th pregnancy. My blood work is looking positive though so I amhoping this on is a keeper. We definitely wanted a 3rd one..just no this soon, but we are thrilled!!! Oh yeah my EDD is 3/24/10 which is my brothers birthday!

Hi Amy! Do you know how many people are pregnant or have ALREADY had babies from the May 08 board?! It's crazy! I don't think too many come here anymore though, I think they're all on the private board. I haven't told the May board yet. Don't want to jinx myself!

Re: Introductions and EDD's
Hey! My name is Marti. This is my 5th pregnancy; we lost our daughter at 17 weeks due to an undeveloped brain. She developed her brain stem, so she had a heart beat and was moving but no brain. They induced my labor 03/03/05. Then I've had 3 miscarriages. I'm now 7 weeks (EDD 03/06/09) and this is the furthest I've made it without any big problems (like bleeding). I still worry about every cramp and if I'm going to bleed. I've done everything I can to relax this time. My first appt is 07/27 @ 8 weeks - Of course I'm nervous. We had actually given up, thinking I can't carry a pregnancy - Getting pregnant has never been a problem - just keeping it, maybe this is how our life was meant to be. So of course, it was little shocking to find that I am pregnant again. But trying to stay positive has been no easy task - but I'm working on it daily. I don't think I will completely relax until I'm 12 weeks and go to the specialst.
I'm sorry I rambled on - you probably don't want to hear my depressing story but I needed to get some of this out.
Thanks!
Marti
