Welcome Everyone! Please Introduce Yourself Here!

I wanted to get this group started so we all have a place to post what we are going through at the moment. I want to keep up with everyone during our journey to motherhood = )

I thought this would be a good place to introduce ourselves. I will start.

My name is Amy and I'm 24. This is my second pregnancy but hopefully my first baby. My husband and I suffered a missed miscarriage last March. I was 13 weeks when I found out that the baby stopped developing at 9 weeks. It was the hardest thing I've ever experienced. We opted for a D&C.

It took us 1 year to feel emotionally ready to try again. I got my BFP on Feb 15th (9 DPO!!) As of right now my estimated due date is 11/1/11.

It was really our first month TTC so I am feeling very blessed. I have my first doctors appointment today to check my HCG levels and I'm just praying they rise appropriately.

I can't wait to hear other ladies stories!

Hello everyone, my name is Jessie and I'm 25. Dh and I have 5 children already the youngest being 3 with one on the way. We have been trying for 2 yrs to have another. In December we had a chemical pregnancy! I am 13 wk 2 days right now, my edd is November 24th...Thanksgiving baby! Had our 1st US on my first appt in march and baby looked fine then. Just went to the doctor again 2 days ago and the doctor told me that my cervix is laying very low and baby isn't moving up, he/she is really low too. But heartbeat was strong at 156 bpm so she isn't worried.Can't wait til my next appt so we can schedule another scan to find out the gender. Congratulations to everyone on here and good luck. I love hearing about everyone else's experiences so I don't feel like I'm the only one lol...

Hi everyone, my name is Naomi and I'm 24.  DH and I have been 'uncareful' since just before Christmas and I'm now 9 weeks with our first.  My docs put my EDD at Nov 26, although I think it may be later than that (I could be 7 weeks).  Unfotunately this mean DH is out of area when bubba will be born.

I'm also really nervous about a miscarriage as a colleague recently lost her baby (no heart beat at the 12 week scan).  Not got many symptoms either (really sore boobs and nipples, peeing loads and tired).  Just waiting for scan to get fully excited!  Can't wait!

My name is Vickie and DH and I have been TTC for four years.  We were told two years ago we would never be able to have children without medical intervention.  After one failed IUI we basically gave up.  And now, here we are, two years later pg with our first!  And really excited!  We found out the day after my birthday that I was pg and the baby is due two days before DH's birthday (November 14th).  So this year both DH and I are getting the best birthday presents we could have ever asked for!

Hey Ladies.
My name is Hannah & my partner is Jonny. We have been together for 3 years.
We are currently pregnant with baby #2 EDD 28/11/2011 although this is not a definate.
We lost our 1st baby to miscarriage in June last year at 4wk1day gestation.

Am currently 7 weeks pregnant today!! :)
I've already had my 1st Midwife appointment which went brilliant. Everything seemed fine.
Due to have my 1st u/s within the next couple of weeks.

Already put nearly a stone on in weight and got a little baby bump. Suffered with morning sickness since being 3 weeks pregnant, had cramps, acne, backache and leg cramps.

So far so good, I refuse to lose my 2nd baby!!

Good luck to all Nov Mummys.. xx

Hello everyone, my name is Taneisha.  I'm 28 with 2 children and 1 on the way.  I'm 8 weeks and 2 days. my EDD is Nov. 17th.  My husband and I had actually took a break from TTC so that we can let our schedules relax a little bit. Apperantly the cosmos had other plans.  My period had became extremely irregular from September to December (as in no AF).  AF finnaly came December 1st, on time New years, a little late in Febuary, and nothing in March.  About a week after my AF was due something told me to take an HCG test. So I did, left it on the sink washed my hands so that I could tend to my 3yrs old son.  I came back 5 minutes later to throw it away because I was sure it was negative, but to my surprise it was positive.  I called my DH, showed it to him, he thought it was wrong and asked me to buy another one.  I went to work, I stopped my doctor's office set up a same day app. for after work.  Went to that app and it was confirmed with both blood and urine.  I still did not believe it and went the Drug store and bought 3 different packs with 2 test each took all 6 and none of them gave me a full three minutes before saying positive.  I was not mad about it just shock and in denial because I just didn't want it to be some cruel joke on me.  I was exactly 5 weeks then.  Now my goal is just to bring in a healthy baby into this world with my DH.  He's over the moon about the everything, but then again he's never been pregnant or had to go through labor and delivery.

Hello all!  My name is Stefanie.  This is my 3rd pregnancy.  We have a beautiful 6 year old daughter and an angel baby who left us in December 2009 when I was almost 8 weeks.  

We've been trying for a second child for over 4 years.  We've done 7 IUI's.  We took a break on fertility treatments for about 8 months.  Started up again and first one, we're pregnant!  HCG and progesterone are great.  We saw the gestational sac on Thursday and things are measuring great!  Going back on Tuesday for another look because my doctor thinks he might have seen 2 babies!  Then back again on Friday to see the heartbeat.  

I'm so happy to be joining you ladies.  My EDD is 11/30 but I will most likely have a repeat C-Section and deliver a week earlier.

Hi.
I'm Laura. This is my first positive ever!
I have been married for 5 years, but my husband and I have been together since 1998. So we are really excited to finally become a family after all.
I'm really scare with the possibility of miscarriages, as I know it is not uncommon. I got the BFP at 12 DPO (Sunday, Feb 27th) and tested again on 17 DPO (Friday, March 4th). I still have to schedule an appointment with an OB--it is a heck of a lof of work to get a doctor's appointment in my city...

If everything goes well, the due date would be Nov 8th, 2011.
I'm praying for this seed to stick and become a healthy, pretty baby!

HI! My name is Erin and I'm 27! This is our 3rd pregnancy and hopefully our 'first'/second baby.

In October 2008, I was 27 weeks pregnant with our DD. I ended up getting pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. I had to deliver her on 10/30/08 via emergency c-section. She was born at 1 lb and 11 in. She ended up getting NEC or Necrotizing Entercolitis. It's a disese that kills your intestines as a preemie. He intestines weren't fully developed enought to digest my breast milk so they got infected and died. We decided to give her back to God on 11/15/2008. Those were the best 16 days of my life. We had to waid 12-15 months b/c of my c-section. They did transverse on the outside but classical on the inside. So that led us to Dec 2009.

We had also found out that month that my DH was going to be deploying that March so we decided not to 'try' but not to 'prevent'. After he got back we started trying then and we found out on Aug 13, 2010 we were expecting again!! At an u/s on 8w6d (9/16/2010) we found out we lost the baby. We had a D&C on 9/17/2010.

Now here we are!! It took us 4 cycles this time. We conceived on VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! We are currently 4w5d and EDD is 11/7/2011! I have a really good feeling about this one and I am really positive this one will stick!! My first OB appt will be at 6w4d on March 18. I wish it was sooner, but it is what it is!
