New Here, Just Wanted to Say Hello.

Hey everyone I just found out that I'm
pregnant with my 3rd child. I'm only five
weeks so still very early yet. My dh and I
were both a bit surprised but we are
getting used to the idea. This past summer
I was an egg donor for my aunt and she
just had a baby girl on March 28th. I was
with her when she had her c-section and I
didn't even know that I was pregnant. I'm
glad that I am pregnant because after
seeing her new baby girl (who looks just
like me I might add lol) it made me think
that I wanted another one. I just didn't
think that it would happen this fast. I
conceived after being off the pill for
only 2 months. Anyways I'm 29, I have one
son 11yrs and a daughter who is 4 and I'm
from Canada. Anyone else from Canada

Hello and welcome to the forum!  And
congrats on the pregnancy!
My name is .emily, and i am currently 27
weeks pregnant with my first baby, a
little girl. My due date is .july 9th.
like you, i was surprised at first because
i got pregnant my first month of being off
the pill. but me and my husband couldn't
be more excited. the time sure does go by
fast (although at times it seems it
couldn't be going any slower).
again, congrats on baby #3, and keep us
posted!

Hey Jess. I'm from Sudbury Ontario. It was
definitely an emotional experience being
an egg donor. It is hard seeing a baby
that looks just like you and yet it is
someone else's baby. I think that this
pregnancy will help me not to think about
it so much. Anyways are you expecting or
ttc. By the way I love the name Trey!
Hey ebarnhard33 congrats on your pregnancy
with your baby girl. I hope that
everything has been going well. I didn't
think that it could happen that fast after
stopping the pill. My dh says " I warned
you that I was fertile"lol  When are you due

Congrats on your pregnancy! I too, am one
that got pregnant very quickly after
coming off the pill. It was quite a
shocker!!! But, we are thrilled and I am
now 21 weeks along with a little girl.
Kudos to you too! I'm not sure I could
donate my eggs, that would be so hard!

I think it would be hard for me to know
that there was a child out there with my
dna, that I wasn't raising.

Welcome to ehealth, i pop over to the
pregnancy side of the forum so often. I
have 2 children already a son who is 20
mths i think haha omg i cant remember 20
or 21 mths he turns 2 in august though and
a almost 4 mth old daughter she was born
christmas day. I was off the pill a month
when we got pregnant with my daughter
hubby was only down for 2 weeks before
heading to germany, so it happened alot
quicker then we thought. In the end it
wasnt to bad just wasnt lookin forward to
being pregnant and moving at the same time
but i got through it.
We are all here to offer support , answer

why?thats all it has is
your dna.yeah it was your egg,but someone
elses body grew that child and that
someone else is raising them.I don't see
how that could bother someone.It's not
like you had the kid and it got
adopted.(not slamming you! )

Re:egg Donation

When I began the whole experience of being
an egg donor I wasn't sure how I was going
to feel. I had to meet with counsellors to
see if I was mentally fit to go through
the process. Obviously I was because I did
it but it wasn't easy. I had to do lots of
fertility drugs and it was a painful
experience during the egg retreval (sorry
for the spelling) But I am happy that I
did it because i made my aunt the happiest
woman in the world. When i watched the
baby being born I cried more than I did
for my own 2 children's birth and I'm not
too sure why that is. It was just very
emotional for me. I know that I do not
have a bond with that baby like her mother
does but I really feel like I love her in
a special way. Nobody can really say how
they would feel seeing their "offspring"
look up at you but then knowing that that
baby will never be yours, especially when
she looked exactly like my daughter. I had
no idea that I would feel this way until
she was born. It is definitely getting
easier!
