Hi Everyone!
Like SoVeryBlessed (neat name!) I just found out I am expecting #4!
My husband has been working overseas since October, just got home May 5th...and gosh, that was FAST!

It was unexpected though as we immediately were using precautions due to a serious medical treatment I am on (MTX).
My first son was born pre-term and has mild cerebal palsy. But otherwise very healthy and happy kid! Now almost 9 years old. I had an OB/GYN for him, and it is a great choice for many but for me it was a NEVER AGAIN, lol. Busted tailbone and rather violating experience to say the least.
Son 2 and son 3 I had great midwives! Son 2 was a dream birth, I did Bradley Method and was up and walking around, felt energized and like on a high immediately after birth, such a difference. I actually said, "let's do it again!" But then I assumed #3 would be just as easy and that little bugger...although I went all natural and birthed on a birth stool....oh he hurt!!! and I said, "this is the last kid!".
And here I am now, lol. Planned a waterbirth with #3 but he came on quick, born 2 hours after the first felt contraction, and we ended up at a different hospital that my midwives worked at because it was closer, lol! I'd like to plan for a waterbirth again.
I've lost 4 babies, which had me hesitant to join the board. But after I saw the long list of other mamas in a thread in this DDC that have lost and have joined this club, I decided to lurk a bit anyway.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.
