Congrats all you pregnant mamas! My little angel is almost 4 weeks old now. They are so sweet & fun! You have so much to look forward to & don't forget to enjoy the process, too. (Ups & downs... )

Boobykinmama, good luck with the waterbirth. I had a home/waterbirth with my baby & it was great!

I'm pregnant with #3. My EDD is October 4th, but I tend to go a few days past the EDD. I'm planning my second unassisted birth. My first child was born in a hospital with an OB/GYN, my second was born peacefully at home into mine and my husband's hands. I have two daughters, and my intuition is telling me this will be a boy, but we'll see.

Hi -- I am pregnant with #2 and due in mid April! I'm excited and terrified at the same time. DS (19 mos.) is still nursing --a lot , so it will probably be an interesting journey.

Due in December with Baby # 3

This will be our first homebirth, and unassisted too. I am about 22-24 weeks preg now, and am really enjoying this pregnancy. It has been so simple! (besides a touch of sciatica and pelvic bone pain)
My belly has been showing a while now, man was I in a rush to go and get new maternity clothes (had none for summer months)...there goes the sears bill!:

I just turned 42 and I'm expecting my second child, another boy, on Nov. 15th. My first is 20 months. It will be a hospital birth with a low-tech OB (is there such a thing?)

Hi there! Just found out we're pregnant with #2, due in late April. DS is 19 mos old and a very frequent nurser still, so I'm a bit nervous about all of that. He was born at a freestanding birth center, but this time we're planning a home birth.

No symptoms yet...feeling good. Hope I can keep it up for the next nine months !

I'm expecting #2 in late Jan 03. (edd 1-27-03). I have a 18 month old son so they will be around 23 months apart. Little worried about that but I know it will be ok. I am planning a home water birth with a licensed midwife. My first birth was the most incredible empowering experience of my life. It was a birth center (connected to a hospital) with a cnm. I can't wait to do it at home this time.

We are expecting #4 in Febuary. I'm Planning a Homebirth, Possibly Waterbirth. I'm so excited about being able to be at home with only family and friends.

I am pregnant with my very first baby! I am so excited! I am 28, and have had a subscription to Mothering since I was 19!

DH and I have been married since last October, and the baby's due date is right around his birthday! That will be a great present.

I am so happy -- I feel this is what I was born to do.

My second due in Mid March around St. Patricks day. My first is 2 Sept 4. Sick as a dog so far, good sign though! Wish me luck on my homebirth as the first one did not go so well.

i'm pregnant with third, due november 18. i have a ds just turned four and a ds 19 months. it will be our first homebirth, there will be a professional midwife with her apprentice attending and maybe our children will be there.

the first birth was with cnms in minneapolis, the second was in baton rouge with professional midwife at her birthing center. all births were normal no interference no tearing etc. under six hours incredible and posterior. this is the first birth that i am deciding what i want.....before, decisions were made according to what i didn't want. i can see how much i have changed. motherhood is empowering. i have been nursing for four years.

last time yielded a ten pounder birthed with fist, the nuchial arm, we'll see how this one is i'm a 5'3" asian woman! i plan to birth essentially unassisted, just not technically. i like having the midwife for prenatal and my dh is more comfortable having help standby.
i am going to use the placenta as medicine this time. i will cast my belly the last month. and i guess i need to make some curtains! red raspberry leaf tea has saved me this pregnancy, and again i have reached a higher ground with my diet.

this pregnancy has been strange, as usual. my husband hurt his back three months ago and has been home from work unable to sit stand or walk for long. he has the trump card, for now. and i am healthier than ever while life is harder than ever.

the best parenting books for me are the continuum concept by jean leidloff and easy to love, difficult to discipline by becky bailey.

i believe wearing a sling and nursing the baby on one breast while resuming activities has given me the best form of mothering experience.

#2 due 3/3/03 (m)

We are expecting #2 on 3/3/03, though if history is any guide he/she will arrive earlier. I experienced preterm labor with my DS (born 3/23/00), who arrived five weeks early. I had a c-section with him (he was breech and presenting knees first--a new one for my midwife). I'm hoping for a VBAC this time; I just moved to NYC and have found the midwifery practice I think I'll go with.

Back so soon

I didn't think I'd be back here so soon. DD was born Apr 29--4 months old tomorrow, and I just found out I'm preggers with number 2. This surprise will be due a couple weeks before DD's 2nd birthday--we are guessing. DD was a freebirth at home and we plan the same this next time.

Congrats to all.

For future reference: Don't depend on exclusive bf alone postpartum to prevent another pregnancy. We were working on fertility awareness, but didn't get it all figured out before you know what happened
