Hi Everyone.
I have been a quite participant on this site for months now. I read the newbie blog on the other site (and here again) and I feel like I can offer some support and knowledge and I would really like to participate (ok I really want to participate on the drinking thread, so I don't feel like I am always drinking alone :-)
So a little about me. My name is Dawn and I am 43. Yes I am old. Actually a doctor told me I was considered elderly. That was a boost to the ego. I have two girls who are 10 and 7 and they drive me crazy and I adore them. My SO is 40 and we have been together for 5 years. In the spring I had a surprise pregnancy (yes that can still happen to the elderly :-) ). It turned out to be a chemical pregnancy, but it made us realize that we wanted to try for a child together. I got pregnant again in June and saw a healthy heartbeat at 7 weeks but when we went into our NT scan at 12 weeks they baby had passed. We were surprise and devastated and knew we would try again but were not actively trying. I had a D&C and it took 2 months to have my period again. I got pregnant again on Christmas and my beta's were wonderful, and we saw a heartbeat at 7 weeks. The next day I started to spot and it turned into another miscarriage and I had a very traumatic D&C on 2/5. I am still waiting for my period and I think we are unsure how to proceed or if we should proceed. Until then I would like to hang out with your wonderful ladies, offer my support and have people to drink with. I will probably post in the weekly waiting to do something thread to get a feel of the community.
