I'm always thinking about who my baby's friends are going to be based on who else at my church or work is pregnant or TTC.
A girl from my church small group just announced on Facebook yesterday that she's due in April! I'm so excited and itching to tell her that our babies will only be a month apart.
Anyone else have pregnant friends they get to go through this with in "real life"?
Yes, but they're all either several months ahead of me, or also not sharing yet. I really really hope that at least one of my sisters is also just not sharing yet. One has been trying, and one I think has been secretly hoping for an oops.
My step sister is pregnant and due in October I'm super excited that my kidlet will have a cousin close in age.
A friend I used to ride horses with is also pregnant and, I believe, due in October as well. She lives only a couple of minutes away. I haven't told her that I'm pregnant yet, but I'm hoping play dates will happen
I have a close friend who's due in October with baby #2, so they will be 7 months apart. Our first babies are 5 months apart, so we are pretty excited that we are both pregnant again at the same time. My sister-in-law is due in March with her first, so they will all grow up together.
I have two friends who are pregnant now--They're both in early second trimester. I want to tell them I'm joining them so badly! Guess I'll have to wait till Oct.
I have a group of friends I met through my hospital's childbirth education class so we all had our firsts within a month of each other. Now, I am the third to be pregnant with a second! One is due in November, another in February, me and I suspect another might be due in May as well but just hasn't spilled the beans yet!
I have one friend who is due in December, and my sister is also considering trying for more soon (she already has bg twins that are about 1.5 yrs old).
NO! That is my biggest problem!! None of my close IRL friends are pregnant nor do they want to be. Sure, I know some folks with kids, but I generally hang out with a fabulous group of childless people. (This tends to happen when you reach our age with no kids). I'm actually really nervous about telling everyone. And I am looking forward to connecting with some other moms in the area. We recently left the city for the 'burbs and there are a lot of ladies out here with kids; hopefully I can become friends with them. I feel like I am a kid at a new school in that regard!
Yes! My BFF is due in November so the kidlets will be 6 months apart. My college BFF (who I unfortunately don't see all that often as she lives 1,500 miles away) has the exact same due date and we are so excited! Both kid #2 for us.
One of my close friends is due a week or two before me. Her and I were pregnant together 8 years ago (our kids are 2 months apart). Will be fun to go through it again together.
I am president of our local MOMS Club (it's an international group, look it up!! ) my Vp is due in early Jan. Her husband also works with my husband and her 2nd and my 1st are about 6 months apart only mine is older
Yes! My oldest friend from elementary school is due with her first in October. 3 other friends all had girls in May, so lots of kids around for DD and now baby #2.
Yes!! Literally the day after I had my PPT my best friend (since I was 4) just the next day told me she was pregnant. And the day after that, another close friend came back with a PPT after her 2nd round of IVF. A few days later, a girl I sit next to at work. Honestly, must be something in the air!
I -suspect- one of my IRL friends is also pregnant and only one week ahead of me but we're both keeping it quiet. DH is all, "we should invite them over when you're ten weeks so we'll beat them to it to announce". Not sure if we'll really do that, though. He's also joked about arranging a marriage between the two LOs. Definitely not really doing that. :P
My friend is due in March so there will be a 2 month difference. They was also a 2 month difference between my DD2 and her DS last year! I also have many friends that are pregnant. (4 others)
Today is actually my sisters due date. She will be induced on Friday since the baby has not come yet. So far, she will be the only one that I will be able to talk to that is in within a year of my due date.
One of my oldest friends is due in December so Im excited our kids will be close in age! And I literally just found out one of my besties is due about 10 days after me!!! I had been holding out on telling her until I had my sono... but she flat out asked me! We both came clean to each other tonight!!!
No, unfortunately not. I'm hoping to figure out how to connect with some other moms in LA. My SIL and brother are trying for #2, but they live in London
Yes! It's funny because a friend of mine who was pregnant with me last time just announced that she's 12 weeks pregnant with #2 the day after I got my BFP!
There's always a baby boom in my small town circle so many friends expecting. Also cousin and midwife! Hoping the midwife is back to work by the time this one comes! She delivered my 2 boys and I can't imagine anyone else being there for this one.
None of my IRL friends are expecting though one of my good friends has a 1 year old and a 3 year old so at least I can talk to her about pregnancy/babies and she won't get sick of it
Once we announce I'll also be looking for local (Philadelphia) KU friends. Maybe through prenatal yoga?
I have IRL who are or were recently pregnant the problem is though they all live on the east coast where I am from and I am in CO So I have no peeps here where I live, only through facebook.
My SIL just had my nephew less than two months ago. One of my friends is having twin boys at the end of the month and another one of my friends is having a boy in November. I'm not aware of anyone who is around my due date IRL though.
