Previous losses - One previous loss in February 2010.

IF issues - None.

Amount of time TTC - We weren't! This one was a complete surprise.

Natural birth, or pain relief? With Allie I wanted a natural birth. At least I wanted to be med free for as long as I could handle it. I didn't get that option since she was delivered at 32 weeks.

Home birth/ hospital birth prefered? Hospital birth. I'd like to try for a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-Section) but I'll see what my doctor has to say.

Anything else you feel would help match us all up well - I'm 27, been married for 2 years. I'm pretty laid back. I'm about to have 2u2 which scares and excites me.

Other: I will be abroad for most of my pregnancy, which I am kind of nervous about. We are supposed to move to India for work at the end of July. Ideally I would come back to the US with about 1 month left. (Still unsure of a due date because I had really wonky cycles.) If anyone has been pregnant abroad, especially in India or anywhere so different from the US, please, please, please mentor me!

Thank you Ashley for setting this up!

Natural birth, or pain relief? Pain relief if I need it, but I'm going to try to not need it!

Home birth/ hospital birth preferred? Hospital

Anything else: I really tend to like a lot of hard scientific info; I've been spending a lot of time trawling PubMed, been doing my charting in Excel so I can figure out my own stats, and always have a huge list of questions when I go to the doctor's!

...Thanks for doing this!

Anything else you feel would help match us all up well:): I'm a working mom, cloth diaper my dd and breastfed for 9 months until she self weaned (I hope to go a full year + with the next one).

I also have ITP (low platelets), which was interesting to deal with during my first pregnancy - I'd be happy to talk to others with similar issues or other medical issues. I may not know a lot about the other issues, but I know the stress and frustration and worry that comes along with them.

Yes

Yay! I love that we have such great coverage, but waiting on referrals takes FOR-EVER. We're in the North region and I think I?m sticking with Prime. I know a lot of women like to switch to Standard so they can pick their own doctor, but I?m just hoping my referral goes though and that won?t be a problem. We?ll see in 7-10 business days.

Natural birth, or pain relief? Pain relief, bring on the epidural baby!

Home birth/ hospital birth prefered? Hospital birth is preferred. I had complications with DD and a home birth would have been VERY bad.

Anything else you feel would help match us all up well:) I'm 30 years old, have been married for almost 4 years. When I'm not pregnant, I like to wakeboard. DH and I also do lots of boating during the summer months.

miblue · June 2011

Second child

No losses

TTC #2 for 5 months

I tried to go natural with #1 and got an epidural, I will for sure get an epidural this time, too

Hospital

I BF my first for 19 months (only stopped so since TTC wasn't working. Once I stopped I got KTFU, lol). I EBF, my child never took a bottle. I know people on TB glamorize EBF but honestly, I think it sucks at times just as much as EPing does. I wanted my kid to take a bottle, he just wouldn't. (We never went on dates, had nights off, etc. because I had to nurse) I will BF #2 just as long, if not longer...but hopefully they will take a bottle! We also cloth diaper.

Aimeelb1 · June 2011
