Can expectant moms join too?

Hi ladies! I was wondering if I could join you. I am 10 weeks pregnant with our one and only. There is several reasons for this. Here's our story.

We got married in July 2009. Six months prior, I started on name brand bcp and had no issues. When we got married, I switched to his insurance and they only covered generic bcp (unless name brand was medically necessary). Within 3 days, I had a rash over my entire body. Since my bcp was the only thing that had changed, my OB marked that name brand was medically necessary and we thought all was well. A few months later, I ended up in the hospital with pancreatitis. After four days in the hospital (I spent 7 total), they came to the conclusion that it was caused by my birth control pills. After discussing our options, I had an IUD put in. Following that, I started getting ovarian cysts, which I had no history of. Doc said the IUD wasn't causing the cysts, but it wasn't helping them either. Had my IUD removed and was given the advice by my doctor that due to my history and my age (31), the sooner I got pregnant, the better. We started trying in November and got pregnant in February. Had my first sonogram this week and baby is healthy, but I have a fairly good sized cyst again. I'm also at a high risk of getting pancreatitis during my pregnancy due to the same hormones in the birth control that caused it are even higher in pregnancy. We were already leaning towards OAD, but with all of my health problems and the risk of me getting sick again, the plan is for DH to get snipped shortly after the baby is born.

So anyway, I'm not on a ton due to a crazy job where I'm on call 24/7, but I'd love to join you if you'll have me. :)
