Hello! (Let me introduce myself) =D

Hello Ladies,

I'm excited to join the Bump. My name is Grace and I'm 34. My Husband and I just got married in November 09. We would like to start a family in the fall. I joined the Bump now so I can learn as much information as I can about "planning" for a pregnancy. I have never been pregnant so I'm clueless to everything (especially to charting..I've only charted my periods) I was on birth control for years then stopped then went back on. This time, I stopped the pill since the wedding but we are using condoms/pull out method (sorry if that's TMI) so my body has a chance to get back to normal. Last summer, I talked to my doctor about TTC and she just told me to start taking prenatal vitamins 3 to 6mos before we TTC. (she also told me to lose some weight but that's all she said. I need more info so I'm doing my homework by looking at these sites and reading books.) Since that visit I've lost 25pds but I would like to lose more so I can have a healthy pregnancy. I have to say I feel a little intimidated by everyone on here because I'm older and just starting out to have my first baby. (it just took me some time to find Mr. Right) well, I guess that's enough about me....good luck to everyone!

Take care,

Grace

Are you on BOTB or TTC?

Hi Paulina,

I just posted on TTC but not BOTB. I think BOTB is a good place for me to start. Thanks!
