Getting to know eachother
I guess we can post on here our little introduction about our pregnancy!!
Well I guess I can start.... I am currently pregnant with my third child. This is, however, my 4th pregnancy. My first was my daughter, which is 6 years old. My second, I miscarried, I had a very high-risk pregnancy. I was pregnant with quintuplets and I ended up miscarring at 16 and 17 weeks, about three weeks after I had a reduction done. My third pregnancy is my baby girl. She just turned 1 in October. This pregnancy was a surprise. I always had to do fertility treatment and with this pregnancy I got pregnant on my own, which was a huge surprise. At first, my hubby and I were in shock and denial. We were worried about what we were going to do with three children, but now, I guess reality settled in and we are happy to be expecting our third. We both hope for a boy, but as long as our baby is healthy, we will be happy. By the way, our quintuplets were all boys!! I would really like to read everyone's stories on how they got here and any information you would like to add. Happy and Healthy 9 months to everyone!!!

Hi all! I'm Chelsea 28 and pregnant w baby #2. I live in NY and have a 7 year old daughter. I've found my soulmate and we're engaged. This will be our 1st child together, he also has a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship. I'm due June 12th 2012! This pregnancy so far has been very easy. No sickness. I'm a nurse and my fiance is a purchaser for a hospital. We're very excited for this baby and hoping its a boy but a little girl would be fine too.
Hello everyone. I'm Megan and this is my first pregnancy. I'm 22 and will also be a single mother, but we'll be okay by ourselves. I'm super nervous but I have a great family that's been really supportive so far. Nice to meet you all.
my name is amanda and im 12wks with baby #2 I have a 2yr old little girl. Im 22 I work full time and I go to college full time. Both of my pregnancies were accidents, I havent been to see a doc yet because im still waiting on insurance which really *****, I did go to a pregnancy clinic and im getting my first ultrasound monday. I want a boy but ill take whatever as long as its healthy.
Hi everyone, just a little bit of a formal introduction. I was actually working a lot and in school when I got pregnant - I'm a community college professor and was working on a dissertation, trying to finish a Ph.D. as well - so this whole thing was totally unplanned for both me and my now ex-boyfriend.
But I love kids and have always wanted kids, after I finished my degree I had actually planned to adopt, and it seems life had another plan for me lol. Although it's required a lot of sacrifice (I dropped out of my graduate program after 10 years of work), I am so very happy to have this child. My family and friends have all been great, and my ex is doing okay with it. We're working on being friends and I actually think he'll be a very good father, but I will be raising this baby as a single mom.
It's not ideal to me, but I think we can make it work. Even if he does end up disappointing us both and not doing being the best dad, I'm grown so I can handle it. I'm in my 30s, am lucky enough to have a career that I love, be financially stable and have health insurance (I spent a decade broke and uninsured, so I appreciate the difference), and above all can love this child in every way he or she needs. So I'm not letting it stress me out and am just enjoying my child and this experience of pregnancy. I did have some bleeding and a "threatened miscarriage" very early on, very scary experience, but baby has stabilized and in the last scan he was perfect. :)
I've decided to tell my parents for Thanksgiving. I'm going to frame and wrap up the ultrasound pic and give it to them as a present. Since this is their first and probably only grandchild, I think they're going to be ecstatic. Very exciting time for all of us - I wish you all the same, and a very happy Thanksgiving. We have something special to be thankful for this year.

Hello everyone. My name is Ashley, me and my dh have been married since April 2009. We started trying right away since I knew it was going to be very difficult. I was diganosed with PCOS and Endometreosis in 2006 when I was just 17. In July 2009 we started our first round of fertility meds which was clomid. We tried that for two rounds with no luck. In October 2010 we starting seeking help from my RE which tries another med femara for four rounds without any luck either! Everyone was convinced I was going to become and IVF patient since I wasn't producing any eggs. In August 2011 I asked the doctor to let us try injectable meds. The whole cycle I have to give myself 2 shots a day in the belly and my follicles still wouldn't grow! On CD16 I had a scan and still nothing, small follicles, me and dh cried knowing that we couldn't go any further since we couldn't afford ivf, military insurance wont cover any of it! I called my mom crying, she came over and rubbed my belly and said "come one follicles one of you are going to be my grandbaby I just know it!" Dh's sister attended a wedding the next day and she prayed for my husband and I to get pregnant. After 5days of waiting I go back for my next scan and we have one mature follicle! I couldn't believe it! CD 21 I finally produced an egg and ovulated. Now here we are at 11 weeks tomorrow, due June 13th and can't believe it. This is our miracle baby already, just being able to concieve was quite the journey. Me and DH have put our marriage to the test. TTC is one of the hardest parts of marriage. He is amazing and has always stood beside me and let me cry and he has cried with me. To me that is a true bond. I want to wish everyone a very happy and health 9 months. Goodluck to you ladies!
