~~~ Meet the Magnificent May Mamas ~~~

[dharmama]

Now that some of us are finding out gender, and many of us are firming up our birth plans...I think we should do and updated due date list (and I'm willing to organize)!

Include your infomation in the subject of your message.

Due date | User Name | First name (optional) | Pregnancy # | Child # | Boy/Girl/Surprise | Birth intentions (location, waterbirth, VBAC, MW or OB etc.)

Oh and if you have trouble fitting your info in the title, just make it the first line of your post!

May 15/Tie-dyed/Sara/pg 2/baby 1/surprise/MW attended homebirth, with water option

Not sure if we'll do waterbirth or just use the tub for laboring.

Never posted in the first thread so I'm glad we're doing a new one.

[Unreal]

second week/Unreal:Lauren/dc#3/Suprise/Home with mw!

This is kiddo #3. We are planning a homebirth....ds2 was a waterbirth, but I knew he would be from way, way early on in the pregnancy.
I'm not feeling the same pull this time--so I'm not sure if I'll just labor in the water or birth there
This is our first homebirth--and I am VERY excited about it--other than having to get the house cleaned

But I have time...
and that is what the nesting instinct is all about, right?

[Peppamint]

May 10/busybusymomma/Michelle/Pg #3/Child #3/Surprise/2nd WB @ home w/mw

Got it to fit this time! I'm very excited about birth again and having a tiny new baby to hold. Awwwww.

[dshields]

5/17?,dshields,danielle,3rd pregnancy,baby #1,TBD this month,hospital waterbirth w/mw

it's all in the title but they said my message was too short when I went to post!

[flowmom]

May 11 | Ksenia | PG #2 | Child #2 | Surpr | homebirth (MW or UC)

Nothing has changed here

[L'lee]

5/10 | L'lee | Lauralee | P#1 | C#1 | unknown gender 'til Jan | birthing center w/ MW

cool!

[lacysmommy]

5/23 | lacysmommy | Carolyn | Pregnancy #2 | Child #2 | Surprise... for now | 2nd HB

Haven't decided 100% if we're renting a tub this time... will probably birth on dry land but use water in labor. We're finding out the sex of the baby probably at the beginning of January when I have an ultrasound (not scheduled yet).

[ThatLinGirl]

May 24| ThatLinGirl | Lindsay | Pgncy #1 | Child #1 | Surprise | Birth Ctr Waterbirth

Yay! Getting very excited - it has just started to feel real to me this week.

Hoping for a waterbirth not sure if I'll like it though. I tried with #1 and didn't like it at all. Maybe this time!

[JayGee]

May 18 | JayGee | Kristina | #5 | #3 | Surprise | HBAC

Still not 100% sure of the HBAC, but definitely a VBAC staying at home as long as I can.

[Irish_Mama]

May 15/Irish_Mama/Shannon/#2/ Child #2/Surprise!!/Home VBAC with MW

We are planning a Home Birth After Cesarean and our MW is wonderful! Have had alot of fears cropping up lately due to some sad outcomes on a birth list I am on, but I think it is a blessing b/c it is forcing me to sort through some of them. Don't post often, but look forward to the rest of this preggo journey with you!
