Hello everyone,

I am new to ehealth but not that new. I read some of the post on here and responded to a few of them. I am 23 years old and I am 20 weeks pregnant. I just found out on 10/04/07 that I am having a boy. My fiance and I are very excited. Laughing

He will be named after his father. I am due on 02/25/08. Is there anyone out there that is close to my due date?

Hey hun! welcome and congrats on your pregnancy. What will you be naming your child/what is your fiances name?

How long have you guys been together?

My name is Jess, and although I'm not pregnant with you I have a 2.5 year old. Finding pregnancy buddies is great! I had like 3-4 when I was pregnant with my son and we all delivered within a 3 day span! and I am still very good friends with 2 of them!

Good luck!

Did you know that you were having a girl or was it a real suprise? Did you have a strong sense that you were having a girl or were you unsure?

LOL that's how it was with me but they all thought I was having a girl. It's getting really close Suzy...for the baby. Aren't you excited. I am excited and I am only half way there. I just went and got the crib set for the baby and it's all sport features but it is so cute. My ultra sound pictures were cute too. In one of the pictures he is rubbing his eye and on another picture it look likes he is waving.

I know what you mean. I have alot of clothes too like those cute little one pieces. Oh how much I love those. I don't think I will have a baby shower. I really want to fast foward all that and just get to the labor part so that I can have the baby. I did get morning sickness in my first trimester and it wasn't that bad. But as soon as my second trimester started it went away.

OH MY GOSH... So are you going to try it natural? I mean this is a choice that your making? I wish you the best of luck. I think that I would like to try it natural but I have already gone and gotten the information on the epidural and signed for it just in case. We have to do that in Florida where I'm at for some reason or the hospital can deny the Epidural. My health insurance that I have through my job covers everything so that is great too!!

Hey there!! Welcome to the forum! I'm Amy and 33 weeks pregnant with a little boy named Dante Alexander!! Only 6ish more weeks left hopefully!! I'm with Suzy with wanting to go all natural, because I don't believe in drugs during labor unless they're neccessary like for a C-section.

My mom has basically condemned me from having any drugs. If she did it with 7 kids and had a few of them at home, then I can do it with this one.
