Hi and Congrats Everyone!

I thought it might be a good idea for everyone to introduce themselves briefly and give their due dates - we will hopefully be spending 9 months together so lets get to know each other a bit.

I am 42 and have a 2 year old son (a graduate of the Sept 2010 forum).  I met my husband later in life (at 39) so having children came pretty late for me.  I always wanted children and was beyond thrilled that I was able to conceive my son quickly.  This one took much longer but again I am over the moon that I finally got that BFP - I was really beginning to doubt that it would happen.  Now if I can only stop worrying- I find that I am worrying more this time around, largely because of my age. I am due Oct 12th.

Hi, my name is Mallory I'm 20 years old and I'm in the united states air force pregnant 4 weeks and 3days today. My husband is in the united states marines and we are currently seperated at two different bases. This is my first pregnancy and we both are extremely excited and happy.  Our bundle of joy is due october 31st which I think is perfect because that is a year after my husband proposed. :) anyways I'm a bit scared, being all alone and going through this by myself with no family here. The husband and I will figure something out. Nice meeting everyone :). Congrats and happy pregnancies!!

Hey everyone, I'm 31 and am expecting my 5th.  I'm due Oct 3 rd.  I'm a bit nervous this time because my last pregnancy I delivered conjoined twins that didn't survive.  I know there was nothingi did to cause it, but I feel like everything I do this time has some profound effect.  Not to mention my 6 yr old daghter had puinworms last month right before I found out and we all took the worm medicine.  And this week I've had to deal with lice ony kids and me and me and I can't use any medicine for it on me.  I was stressing out this morning while I was rinsing it out of my daughters hair and it got in her eye and I was afraid of getting it in me but I had to get it out of her eye.  I can't help but worry.

I'm 25 years old.  My husband and I got married September 30th, 2012.  I have an almost 4 year old daughter (from a previous relationship) and am now 6 weeks pregnant.  I'm a little nervous about trying to keep up with two of them, particularly when out and about.  My 3 year old is a handful already very sassy and doesn't listen much to anything I tell her to do.  Shes a brilliant little girl, just resting her boundaries I guess.  I'm told this if common for children her age, but I'm hoping she leaves this phase and is more compliant before the baby comes, but I'm not holding my breath lol.  I'm excited to be having another child, hoping for a boy this time.  I'm due October 18th.  Monday is my first doctor appointment.  
I'm a little concerned about this pregnancy because in October 2010 I had a cone LEEP biopsy procedure done on my cervix.  I'm worried if my cervix will be able to support the baby until full term.  I have been looking up a lot of information online and have found that a lot of women who have had this procedure have complications with pregnancy from miscarriages, to bedrest  to needing to have their cervix stitched closed until close to their due-date, and some women even had preterm labor.  So I'm a bit anxious.  My appointment is in 2 days and I'll be discussing the possible issues with her, God-willing.  
It's great to have these forums, and o hope all of our babies are born happy and healthy :)
