Hi from San Diego

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
I'm one month pregnant, and I hope this one will be a successful pregnancy. I'm 38, and I've been pregnant twice but one was really a molar pregnancy, and one miscarried at six weeks.

I'm in a complicated situation, having realized that for my own health and safety and sanity I have to leave my boyfriend. Just to be clear, he is not abusive, but as many know, there are a lot of other ways in which people can be dangerous. I arranged going to my mom's and should be out of here in a few weeks, but then I discovered that I'm pregnant. As I've always wanted a child, and never have been blessed, I'm not giving this up. This could be my last chance.

I'll admit, I am feeling pretty damn alone. I'm usually very strong and independent, but I've never been so scared in my life. So I decided to find a community online to feel a little less alone.

So here I am... I don't know what I will be able to contribute, but I know I'll learn a lot. Thanks for having me.

Right now I'm just above the Mission Valley area. Soon enough (or not soon enough!) I'll be in Ocean Beach.

Welcome. Be sure and hit the beach and relax some. Let it soothe you. There is an organic produce store there too that is better priced than Vons or even Albertson's organics. I don't know where you are moving from, but you will enjoy OB.

Just wanted to say thanks for the welcomes. I haven't been here in a while, was getting moved, and honestly, this forum is so huge I get a little overwhelmed. But it's constantly being recommended, so I thought I'd try it again.

Luckily, I used to live here and I was immediately very at home, and know about the good places to shop, take walks, etc.
