Hi! My name is Mary & we live in the North Texas (Dallas/ Fort Worth metroplex). I'm 41 and my husband is too. Due around the 26th of November. We are pregnant with our fourth baby, 5th pregnancy. We are totally over the moon & full of panic at the same time. We have all boys, 11, 5, 2 and this little caboose baby. We were very lucky to get a positive the first month we were really trying and praying for a sticky bean. We've had one loss, at 14 weeks, and that was devastating for us. My last birth was a homebirth transport/cesarean and so I'm a going for a HBAC. Meeting with midwives this week and already have my birth doula and birth photographer all lined up.
It is so nice to meet all of you & congratulations!!!

I'm very sorry about your traumatic birth. My last baby was born with an unexpected cesarean and was very traumatic for our family.

YEA!! I'm a touch older than you & it is nice to have someone close to my age with a pregnancy.
