I had a dream a few months ago that I did and it was a girl and a boy...born in that order. But...I think this is a singleton and possibly a girl this time. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks!

  • State or Country: NS, Canada
  • How long it took to you to get your BFP: almost 2 years, including 2 miscarriages
  • What number child is this for you: 2

I'm really glad you are here. Congratulations! I don't think that your birth would be treated as high risk because you have had miscarriages.

I played it cool (I think), but I was totally star-struck when you posted this:

I couldn't tell if you recognized me from my intactivism or you were just being friendly. I decided it was the latter.

I hope not, but I am taking baby aspirin daily and will be seen by an OB this time (I think) rather than a family doctor.

My name is Heather. This is baby #2 for us. Our oldest was born on December 7, 2012 and I am due with this one on December 11, 2014. I loved having a December baby the first time, looking forward to having another December baby but already a little nervous on how to handle separate birthday parties. I am 30 years old and live in California. My first was a c-section and it was discovered I had a Bandl's ring which makes me ineligible for a VBAC, so I am looking at another c-section.

Welcome, heather! Wow, a bandl's ring! I would love to hear your birth story if you feel like sharing some time! Have you heard about gentle/family centered cesarean? They are really beautiful! I am a nursery nurse and it is amazing to get a baby skin to skin with mama immediately after a cesarean birth-- it is so emotional!

I have no qualms if this is taken down; I'm torn on whether I should provide an update or just quietly step into the shadows . . . . I miscarried on Friday. It was fast and conclusive and wholly unexpected and I'm still reeling.

I wish all of you beautiful soulful mamas happy, healthy pregnancies. I hope to try again in time. <3

Hi Everyone! I'm just joining and super excited about this forum - and life in general right now. :)

  • EDD: December 4
  • Your Name: Monica
  • Age: 41
  • State or Country: Atlanta, GA
  • How long it took to you to get your BFP: I had my IUD removed on 2/24 and missed my 3/27 period (I'm clockwork). Positive home test on 4/4.
  • What number child is this for you: 1st
  • Family): Incredible partner, 2 dogs, 1 cat.
  • Baby's Gender: I'm trying to be impartial, but would love a girl. I've decided not to learn the gender until the baby arrives.
  • Anything else you'd like to share: Up until I was around 38, I didn't think I wanted children. The years between then and now have been really inspired and interesting, and I'll just say that I'm elated to be me right about now. :)
