1. First name? Tasha
2. Age? 25
Location?
Indiana
Marital Status? We just had our 1 year anniversary
3. How did you find this community? I am a member of LJ and searched for TTC
4. How long have you been trying for a baby and what challenges do you have?
We've been trying for about 8 months. All of my sisters have had trouble conceiving and also have had trouble carrying once they did conceive. I know 8 months doesnt seem long, but Ive wanted children much longer than we have been trying to conceive. I am very maternal and feel empty without children
5. What have you done so far to prepare for getting pregnant? I eat naturally, ingest as little toxins as possible, do not smoke or drink (except a glass of wine on occasion when I know pregnancy isn't possible), take prenatal vitamins, read lots and lots
6. Tell us one or two random things about you and/or your husband? We love to hike and be outdoors, we love animals
7. How are you feeling about the prospect of getting pregnant? It gives me butterflys in my stomach...
8. What do you hope to get out of being a member of this community? Some support from other people going through what I am going through. So that possibly maybe I'll hear something besides "Oh eight months is nothing, so and so tried for 3 years"... I understand that it has to be that much tougher to wait that long and go through all of the steps, however it doesn't make it any easier on me to think about how much tougher it "could be"
9. What are you looking forward to the most about being a new mom or having another baby? Watching my child grow, seeing him/her discover, providing unconditional love and support, being part of the creation of a strong, bonded family
I
10. Anything else you'd like to tell us or anything you think we should know about you? I work in a group home for children with autism, and am a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children who have been abused and/or neglected. I love children and can't wait to have my own!
