where is everyone from?

by snagglepuss1, Jun 24, 2004 12:00AM
As you can tell its not to do with pregnancy, I am just curious as to where everyone is from as whenever I post then log off then log back on there's loads of messages from you ladies.
Are most of you from America?
It would make sense due to the time difference etc.
I am from England, Portsmouth City to be exact, right at the bottom of the country in the middle, we are actually just opposite the Isle Of Wight on the map.
My name is Claire & I'm 23 years old, sometimes I feel like I'm hiding behind my screen name, I just wanted to get to know some of you better as I have a feeling I will be visiting here this entire pregnancy.

Great idea Claire to suggest we all share where we are from!  Claire is such a pretty name.  A gal from my daughter's school is named Claire.  She is really nice.  

My is Annette and I live in sunny California.  We live in a town called Moorpark.  About 1 hr. from Los Angeles.  We love Moorpark because it is still a small town and beautiful mountains.  We have visited Canada before and love it.  For Anna who is from Prince Edward Island, does it look like it does in the Anne of Green Gable video series?  My daughter and I love to watch that movie.  It is our favorite.  

My husband and I have a daughter who is 11 yrs. and another daughter who is 2 1/2.  We hope to have at least one more for our little one.  Our oldest daughter was an only child for so long and got lonely at times.  I don't want that for my little one.  We lost a baby at 9 1/2 weeks due to a supposed blighted ovum.  I know now that it was not a true blighted ovum because a yolk sac was seen on the ultrasound.  I relunctantly had a D&C.  It has been over a year ago since all of that.  We are still hoping and still trying on those bingo days.  Nothing yet.  We know it is God's will, things will happen.  We will see what the future holds for us.  God bless all you ladies and your little ones.  (-:

P.S.  I forgot to mention that I am 40 yrs. old.  Probably the old lady here (-:  I really like this sight.  You gals are great about responding to each other.  Other sights I have been to, women fizzle out and don't keep in touch.  It is fun to see how each others lives go.

by Jocalyn, Jun 24, 2004 12:00AM
Hi I am Mary Anne, 23.  Jocalyn is what we want to name our first daughter if she ever gets here.  I am from Southern Utah.  It is the best place to live if anyone ever wants to move out west.  I've been married for 2 1/2 years, and have been trying almost the whole time, what can I say, this is Utah.  my first misscarriage was past natural.  I got pregnant 3 months later.  At 12 weeks the Ultra sound said the baby didn't grow or attach after the 6th week so I had a D&E (evacuation thing) then we couldn't get pregnant after that.  That happend Feb of 03, I finally got pregnant on Clomid end of May '04.  I just had another misscarriage that past natural.  I was on Progesterone but only 100mg a day.  I'm hopefull that we will get pregnant again soon and that taking a higher dose will help.  I don't want to get a D&C because I think that the D&E last time is what took us so long to get pregnant.  To the lady who couldn't get prego after the D&C, don't lose your faith.  Someday, maybe with the help of Clomid, it will happen.

Wow... I had no idea that you ladies were from all over the world! How fun. I too am in California. Not pregnant yet but am TTC #1. I come to post my questions and search for situations similar to mine when funky stuff happens! Nice to meet you all.

by Wisegirl, Jun 24, 2004 12:00AM
I'm from Northern NJ and I've been married to my 2nd husband since Sept 27, 2003.  I had a previous marraige and from that I have a ds who will be 6 in Sept.  Even though my son is almost 6 I now have the first opportunity to be a SAHM (which I am loving every minute of)!  It was NOT an option with my first hubby.
Since our m/c in May we have decided to ttc again asap !

My name is Leonie. Married for 11 years. Living in Chesapeake, VA but from New Zealand. Have two wonderful but trying boys, Connor is 10 and Bailey is 6. Just lost baby #3 to a miscarrage (miscarriage) and had a D&C on June 11, had to go back for another D&C on the 23rd June.... wondering when things will get better......
It is lovely being able to see where everyone is from.
Good luck to those who are pregnant.
