I know 9 pregnant women  

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
10 including myself! Not even kidding. They are friends and acquaintences. With due dates spanning from now until July. And I just found out my neighbor is due on the same day as me. My one friend is due 4 days after, and my other friend is due 2 weeks after me. Craziness!!!

Yup, there's a baby boom in our family this year too.

My cousin's partner just had a baby last Friday, and two other cousins are expecting this summer.
My husband's little sister is pregnant, and one of his cousin is expecting twins this spring.

My neighbour/good friend is pregnant, due any day now - her brother and his wife just had a baby, and her sister is due about a month after her. She also has a bunch of pregnant friends - her baby shower was funny, with more pregnant women in attendance than not - I think we were at least seven pregnant women there!

In 2004, when I had two miscarriages, 9 women among our family and friends had babies, including a set of twins. But when I had my son in 2005, no one else in our circle had babies, understandably so.

We know a lot of pregnant people too! My SIL is due within days of me! This is unusual...I usually don't know anyone else who is pregnant when I am.

i think i only know a couple...a neighbor who is due in april (but she isn't allowed to talk to me-no joke, her hubby says so!), and a cousin announced to the family this week...i've not been able to get in touch with her personally, and my grandma forgot to ask when she's due! isn't that the first thing humans are programed to ask pregnant women?!
oh, and my little sister thinks she's pregnant, but she always thinks that... they've been not preventing for 5 years with no baby...

oh yeah, and my midwife's student is pregnant!

That's so fun! That's how it was for me when I was pg with DD....tons of my friends were pg, with 5 of us all within a 2 month time span. It was fun for awhile and we all got together a lot, but then parenting differences starting getting in the way . Pretty much left hanging in the breeze with this crazy AP parenting style DH and I have

It is so nice to be able to talk pregnancy with someone else, though. Non-pg people do not want to have long drawn out discussions about pregnancy for some reason

That sounds so fun!

It seems that I'm always pregnant on my own. I'm the last of my family and dh's family to have kids and the first of our friends. Two friends had babies the year after I had ds, so they aren't ready for #2 yet. A friend from my prenatal yoga class when I was pregnant with ds had her ds the same week, and she is now expecting #2 in April. It's fun to be at yoga together again. Another friend just had twins in Jan but she moved to Montreal last summer so I don't see her outside of (gasp) Facebook!

But other than that, I don't know anyone pregnant.

Enjoy it if you can ladies. It's good mojo to be around.
