everyone. I'm Emma. I'm 26 and I'm from Portsmouth. I live with Molly's Daddy, his name is Dave and he is 30. We have been married for two years and together for 9 years. My husband does the same job as you Gillian! I'm on maternity leave until November then I'll be going back to work as a deputy manager in a call centre. I love my job but I'm dreading leaving Molly, but I know she will be safe with my mum. We conceived Molly the first month I came off the pill, we were very lucky Matthew and Brooke are gorgeous

Hi
I'm Bec, I'm 34 and am married to Paul and living in Manchester. We were trying for 15 months before we were lucky enough to conceive Poppy.

I'm going back to work as an Office Manager in October and am dreading it, even though my mum and dad will look after Poppy and it will be for 2 days a week.

Big to you all

hi ladies, great idea for post,

Danielle, 27 from very rainy Kilmarnock, ayrshire and my dh, Kevin and i will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary on the 18th sept! Had Emma four weeks later though that was highly unexpected lol!!

Very lucky to conceive on first cycle though was mega surprised and had to bring the wedding forward or i would have waddled down the aisle, that decision was major blessing as low and behold Emma came 14 weeks early.

Cant wait to celebrate ems birthday and 2nd but proper xmas, never thought ad see the day!! ok am going on now......!!! xxx

Hi ladies...I'm Nicola, I'm married to Kyle..we have been together for over 12 years. I'm 30..we live in North Vancouver, B.C. (Canada). We had one late miscarriage at 19 years old...another missed miscarriage in 2007 after they failed to find the babies heartbeat on our second ultrasound. We decided to stop trying when we found out we were pregnant with Lakai.

I worked as an accountant before having Lakai, but will not be returning to work when my maternity leave is up. I just feel its pointless for me to work to pay for daycare alone..when I could just stay home. My hubby is self employed so I will be helping him out from time to time with grant writing. So I will have some income.

Nice to meet you all.

Hey there,

My name is Dona and I am married to Gordon and live in Edinburgh. We have been married for 12 yrs...my wedding was the day Lady Diana died. Anyway, we planned to have Archie but had a miscarriage. 4 Months later we were blessed with falling again and Archie was born on 8th February 2009 13 weeks early. I work for a large Life Assurance Company in Edinburgh as a Sales Manager and go back in Jan or Feb...can't decide yet, and Gordon is a Sheriff Clark in the Sheriff court.

Archie will be going into full time nursery upon my return to work. I am a bit nervous but I know its for the best.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi

I'm Sandi (23) and live in Edinburgh, with my OH (27). We have been together for 4 years (and as some of you know we were engaged but I have now put this on hold)

I was a administrator for a nursery franchise - we are still unsure whether i will return however due to Alex's crazy arrival. (12+4 weeks early)

We had two miscarriages before having Alex. (one 'blighted ovum' and one very early m/c) We were starting fertility testing and OH started to have tests and I was having scans.

I had basically given up all hope until I discovered I was having Alex just a few weeks after my last m/c. Of course I was very tentitive about the whole thing. But finally seeing a heartbeat at 6weeks was a huge deal. I was even told at 8 weeks the pregnancy was unlikely to last - but here we are.

Nice to meet you all!!!!

[Nik09]

I'm really really new, but thought i'd introduce myself too!

My name is Nikki, im 24, i am an Australian, Living in Cornwall with Freya and Flyn's daddy, Rob. He is 30. I am a hotel receptionist, and am planning to return to work part time in December ... BOO!!!

We sadly lost Freya at 21+1, she is my angel is the clouds and we miss her desperatley.

Flyn was born 15 weeks early at 25 weeks and is now a very happy & healthy 7 and a half month old.

We would love more children, but due to my cervix being extremly incompetent, we will wait until Flyn is independant as ill be on bedrest for most of my pregnancy (if not all).

Ummm, not sure what else to write! Hope to get to know you all better! Its nice to meet you!

[scsweetness86]

hello all. I am Dianna, 23, and madly in love with my fiance of almost two years, michael who is 27. We live in south carolina and were planning a family one day but neither of us were expecting it to happen so soon and with me having diabetes since i was 7, we didn't think it was possible without help. so our little Abigail is truely our miracle baby.

Luckily, my other half has a great job which allows me to be a stay at home mom and spend my days fawning all over my now VERY spoiled baby. haha.

Its great to meet all of you and glad I FINALLY found a forum for parents of premature babies!

 

[bumpsmum]

bump - some new parents around x

 

[Foogirl]

Hey, I never did this yet, how remiss of me.....

I'm Gayle, born in Southampton, grew up in North East of Scotland, currently living in Falkirk with Alan (who I actually met through a website.....) We've been together nearly ten years and married for 3 and a bit.

We started trying on our honeymoon (in a rather chilly Banff, Canada!) After a couple of wee false starts, we had Abby 11 weeks early, in April 09.

I'm currently on maternity leave from being a Chartered Quantity Surveyor in Edinburgh and am planning to go back but not looking forward to getting up in the mornings!!

 

[premmiemum123]

I haven't introduced myself either...my name is Sue, I am 35 (still coming to terms with being classed as mid thirties!!) I live in Surrey with my Partner Darren.

Our decision to try was spontaneous (we decided over tapas and a glass of vino) but we stopped a few days later as my father was dying, by then it was too late, our little bean was growing.
Emily is our miracle baby, in losing my father I gained a wonderful daughter so she will always be special because of that but also because she was an extreme premmie and a little fighter (born 14 weeks early due to placenta abruption). So we have had a year of it and can't wait to wave goodbye to 2009.

I am going back to work in February full time to the world of IT and Daddy is staying at home as a SAHD, he can't wait and I am dreading it, but needs must...

Great to read about you all...x

 

[Emma.Gi]

Oooh, I've never seen this thread before.

I'm Emma, 17 and I live in Lancashire with my parents and obviously Harry, lol. Me and my partner, Ben, 18 have been together just over 2 years (if you don't count when we split for a few months in July), although we have known each other for 6 years.

We were stupidly trying and fell quite quickly. Had I seen into the future, I would have waited a while but I obviously wouldn't change my life now, Harry's the centre of my World.

I am a full-time student at College
