Thought that I'd add this so that we can keep track of ourselves and each other!!

Age: 27
Job: teacher P/T
Due date: 30/07/05 (was 02/08/05)
Baby: number 2, have 1 DS who will be just 2 when the baby is born, 90% sure that it's a boy
Birth Plans: 'Normal' delivery at local hospital or home birth, if I can face the mess, supported by DH

Good idea.

Due date: 25/08/05 - 2 days before DS's 4th birthday

Age: 27

Job: Residential Social Worker

Due date: 31/08/05

Baby: number 1, 2nd pg - mc in July 04, dh and I tempted to find out sex, but if we do it'll be our secret. No preference either way!

Age: 27

Work: Stay at home mum

Due date: 16/08/05

Baby: Number 3,DS 4,DD 1 will be 18 months when next one arrives.

Birth plans: At local hospital. Hopefully quick and pain free ( NOT LIKELY !!!)

Age: 30-something (feeling shy with all you young mums!)

Work: p/t manager in public sector organisation

Due date: early August

Baby: DS nrly 4, expecting another boy

Birth plans: possibly c-section after difficult assisted back-to-back last time, might try and go naturalish again though (but this time with epidural etc, anything to help the pain!)

Age: 33 (and proud )

Job: Run my own web-based business from home

Due date: 31/07/05 (was 04/08/05)

Baby: No. 3. Have dd aged 7 and dd aged 6.

Sex: Don't know (want it to be a surprise!)

Birth plans: Hopefully a waterbirth at my local midwife unit

Age: 39
Work: P/T Financial analyst
Due date: 27/08/05 - 2 days after dh's 40th b'day and 3 days before mine!
Baby: At 13 weeks, looked like a girl but will find out on the 15th April.
Birth plans: CS probably in the middle of August... at St. Thomas' in London

Great idea

Age: 31 (coming up on 32 quickly, though)

Job: SAHM after far too many years working in pharmacy.

Due date: 8/31/05. Oh wait, in yours 31/8/05. 13 days after DS's 2nd birthday, and 12 before DH's 38th.

Baby: #2, not finding out if it is a girl or boy, but call it he because of the extremely high % of males in dh's family, and hate calling the baby it.

Birth plans: hope to have a quick all-natural birth in hospital like DS, but might have to have an early induction if the baby is too big, because DS was 9 lbs and had a really big head. Might go for the epidural then, because haven't heard positive induction stories. But am really afraid of epidurals, so not thinking about that possibility.
