[MeganW]

another first timer here

undefinedundefined
Hi I'm Megan I'm 23 and expecting my first little one around the 20th of Sep. I've been with my partner Ryan for about a year now and we are planning a homebirth with a midwife. I wanted a UC he said no way
I work as a realtor and will be returning to work after baby arrives and Ryan will be a SAHD/WAHD. This is # 4 for him so he thinks he's got it all figured out.

Hi Megan! Welcome to the Sept club! Jump in on the main thread, our weekly one. That gets way more traffic....

Hi!
I realise I'm a bit late to this group I have been lurking on the boards a while and thought it's about time I posted something
I'm Kitty and am 32 weeks pg and due around 21st Sept. I'm planning a homebirth with MW.
My pregnancy has gone pretty well so far and I'm now getting busy preparing for the home stretch.

Better Late than Never...

Well, here I am right about 32 weeks, and feeling like Goldilocks.

One group...another September group...very supportive, but frustratingly mainstream.

An unassisted childbirth group...learning a lot, but it's a tad militant. I love the idea of UC, but not sure if I'm ready, and do NOT respond well to being told "THIS IS HOW YOU MUST BEHAVE."

Last night, I read several of the threads here, and Ahhhhhh...just right. My use of a midwife would be supported, should I stay that route, but if I decide to UC, I'd find encouragement too! Wahoo!

I'm 33, single (attached, but not to the baby's father...VERY long story), and expecting my first sometime late September to early October...the EDD is 9/24, but how likely is it that she'll (yes, it's a girl!) show up then?

I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado with my two furry children (basenjis, Katie-F8 & Clay-M3) and plan a homebirth. Suffice it to say that my pregnancy was quite a surprise, and after a day or two (okay, a day) of soul-searching, I realized there was no way I could look at termination for various reasons. Even though I'm pro-choice, it just didn't gibe personally for *me.*

For any other background, and a few pictures, I have a blog that's primarily about baby stuff: http://babyburge.blogspot.com/

Glad to meet you guys...even if it IS only for the next 6-10 weeks!

It took me a while, Allison, to figure out why your children were furry, but after I googled "Basenji" it clicked

Do they really not bark?

welcome jen

ps: I hear you on the other supportive but frustratingly mainstream other boards... I had to give one up completely, it was too much for me.

Hi! I just stumbled upon this site and I love it! My name is Sandy and my bf, Brian, and I are expecting our first baby on Sept. 13th. I'm currently 34w pregnant and with all the new perks and quirks that go along with pregnancy, it's nice to have somewhere to go and relate stories or get a sense of not being alone.

[banana girl]

hi Sandy!

Hello there!

I'm also due right around the 13th! Come chat with us in our "chatty" thread!
Just jump right to the last page and start chatting with us, trying to play "catch up" is impossible!!! We're way too talkative!

[Caroline248]

Sandy..I second Anna...you will never "catch up"!!! Join us over there...

Hi there!
I've been lurking for months now and gathering *great* information, but with the due date getting so close, it's time for me to say hello!
I'm Jodi, married to Tom since 8/29/03 and expecting baby #1 on 9/15/04 or so (homebirth with a great dr.!) , and momma to our puppy JJ, a black/brown lab who I love to death! Pregnancy has been great; I've never felt better in my life!
I'm actively researching cloth diapers and have some bids out there on ebay. We finished painting the baby's room this weekend and I've finished teaching college for an indefinite amount of time so I can be with my baby! That means I have about 5.5 weeks to just WAIT! haha Actually I'm keeping busy, and I have a feeling s/he'll come be late anyway (the 23rd is in my mind).
Great to be a part of MDC!
Jodi

[plantmommy]

Welcome, Jodi!

Why don't you pop in on the chat thread and the homebirth thread?

[msrog]

Welcome, Jodi, glad you finally came out of hiding, haha. Come over to the weekly chat thread and join the melee...

[interbang]

Hello everyone!

I'm Heather, due 9/20/04, home birth here in Santa Monica, CA.

Yesterday, a baby store exploded in my house.

I'm really enjoying these forums, looking forward to posting again soon.

Thanks,
Heather

Boy, do I feel stupid. I've been posting in the due date thread for awhile now, but somehow I missed this one and never introduced myself - how rude!

Anyway, I'm Stacy and I'm 34 and me and my navy officer dh are expecting our first, a boy. We are going to have a UC, and he's as excited about it as I am. We will not vax, and I plan on eco-bf'ing, sling-wearing, co-sleeping, cd'ing, and I even convinced my dh to leave our little boy intact! Yea, hubby!

I am due today, according to my stupid OB who moved up my due date one week from it's original 9-22 after viewing my only u/s at 24 weeks. I really wished I hadn't heard that, since it has just contributed to my antsiness. I'm having lots of on again/off again go nowhere contractions, and lost part of my plug almost two weeks ago.

[sistermama]

Hi due date sister! I hope things get going soon for you!
