Official announcement

[Plissken]

I guess I might as well announce this officially (was posted in "Oh
Brigitte") even though it's still really early! A little background as I
don't post here too regularly. I'm Nadene (33 yrs) and I've been hanging
around here since 2002 when I was pregnant with my DD Maddy (now 13.5
months). Like I said I mostly lurk but guess I will now be delurking. We
just found out yesterday that we are due with #2 on Feb. 27th. DH still
won't really believe it until I confirm it with the Dr. Sorry but I don't
need to pee on another stick to prove it :o) We conceived nice and quickly
thanks to "Taking charge of your Fertility". I have 40 day cycles and hadn't
a clue about signs of ovulation!

Last time I had a hospital birth with a physician (well he didn't actually
make it to the deliver, the nurses delivered DD) and this time I hope to
have a home birth with a midwife and doula present. I just have to convince
DH that this will be ok. He does not want a home birth. I think it freaks
him out quite a bit, but I'm hoping the midwife will convince him otherwise!
I really hope this pregnancy goes smoothly and I REALLY hope I don't get
morning sickness the way I did with DD!

Congradulations. Not everybody gets morning sickness, I didn't. So you
might skip it :)

I never got a bit of morning sickness and I just had a boy -- maybe
that's what you'll have this time! My mom has MS with me & my sister
but none with my brother so...?

Congratulations!!

You sound like me! Did what was expected of me last time, and had a
hospital birth. But it looks as though this will be no. 2 and the last, so
I want to do things my way. DH was convinced of the home birth thing
because he hated going home from the hospital last time. He had to work
during the day (small business/boss away) and then come and see me and the
new baby and get a bit of bonding time, then get kicked out at 8pm and go
home to an empty house. And as I was in for 5 days (feeding issues), it was
a long 5 days for him. Good luck with convincing your DH.

Congratulations!! I loved that book as well. I used it while trying to get
pregnant with DS and learned so much about my body and ovulation. We even
got pregnant the first month we tried. And with this pregnancy I knew at
conception that I was going to be pregnant just by my CF alone. I swear by
that book and HIGHLY recommend it to everyone!

Though I would love a home birth I know there is no way I would ever be able
to convince DH of it. Good luck and we will all keep our fingers crossed for
you!!

Congratulations and good luck on getting your homebirth. There are
loads of good things you can give your husband to read if he likes to
do research, and meeting a competent midwife will reassure him too!
