Back after a long absence with some good news!

[babysteps]

So it's been a long while since I was last here.

After 2 unsuccessful IUI attempts in 2008 and 3 failed IVF cycles in 2009 with nothing in the freezer we took an 18 month break from TTC.
Started again with another IVF cycle in July this year, and lo and behold, I'm now 6 weeks pregnant! Crazy. We've also got 3 frosties chilling in the freezer, which is a first.

I'm a little lost, as I don't have any lesbian parent friends (or even many straight friends with babies), and it's too early to start talking to people about the pregnancy. I'm sure the next few weeks will go past fast enough though and then I can start telling everyone the news.

Is there anyone on these boards who is in Perth and can offer any advise about obstetricians, hospitals and parenting classes, with a gay slant? I have tentatively chosen an obstetrician who delivers at Mercy as it's the closest private maternity hospital, but I'm so confused by all the options.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I don't really have any advice for you, other than you should check out the Belly Buddies thread, you'll find lots of lovely ladies to share your journey with.

Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months.
