Carmen, I'm so sorry. :(

I've been putting off joining a DDC, but I'd like to admit that I'm pregnant and hope for the best!

• EDD March 24,2013

• Your Name: Christie

• Age: 38

• State or Country: CA
• How long it took to you to get your BFP: Not really applicable. We weren't trying necessarily. Long, complicated story.

• What number child is this for you: 5th living child. Lost my son at 34 weeks 3 years ago, and have had miscarriages.

• Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): Married to sweet, but unsure about this pregnancy, dh, homeschooling my 4 kids, 3 cats and a dog.

• Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): Mixed feelings. Would like a boy partly because my stillborn son, but would like a girl so my one and only girl can have a sister. Don't really care either way.
• Birth Plans:  I would love another homebirth (have had 3 homebirths) but dh is concerned about me being a vbac this time. (Stillborn son was a c-section) The thought of going to a dr. office makes me feel so anxious, so we will see.

[Sara79]

EDD : March 21st
Age: 33
State: WA
How long it took to you to get your BFP: Long story short not careful for a while but this was  the first time of knowing when the fertile time was and trusting God if it was in His plan then we'd concieve
What number child is this for you: 3rd
Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): DH, DS 8, DD 6
Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): would love another daughter but a son would thrill me too :)

[maybesparrow]

EDD : late March or early April, I had a wacky period (still breastfeeding), so I don't know when I ovulated.
Age: 26
State: WI
How long it took to you to get your BFP: 2 months
What number child is this for you: 2nd
Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): My husband and I have a lovely 16 month old girl and a giant orange cat.
Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): I would love to have 2 girls so close in age, but I'm sure a boy would be an adventure too!
Birth Plans/Preferences: Not sure yet, possibly a midwife in a hospital/birth center birth... we are in the middle of a little health insurance gap, so I won't be able to see anyone until mid-August.
 

[paulacagg]

• EDD : End of March... around the 27th. Not sure totally as I wasn't keep great track last month of my period (obviously!)
• Name: Paula
• Age: Just celebrated my 40th Birthday!!!!!!
• State or Country: Virginia
• How long it took to you to get your BFP: Surprise! Happy Birthday to me :) We weren't trying but it took us 6 months with all the others.
• What number child is this for you: #4
• Family (partner, other children, and/or furbabies): DH David, DD Sydney (7), DS Christopher (4) and DD Carys (2)
• Baby's Gender (hopes or guesses): Would love to even it out with another boy, but of course a healthy baby is all that we desire!
• Birth Plans/Preferences: Homebirth. I have had 1 hospital birth, and 2 birth center births and am now choosing a homebirth!
• Blog, website or the like:
• Anything else you'd like to share: I am so excited about this pregnancy but it was a TOTAL shock to my DH and I as we thought we were done after 3. I'm still BF my 2 yr. old as I thought she was my last and was hoping to do extended BF until she wanted to wean. That might change faster than anticipated. This pregnancy was not something we had planned but believe that God had this planned for our family!

[paulacagg]

Nice to see another person in my almost exact same shoes :) I just found out that we are pg a week after my 40th birthday. We too have 3 kids and this will be #4. Total shock as we were not trying and thought we were done. Congrats!
