Hi Patricia,

Welcome to BB (BellyBelly). There are many first time Mums on this site, and I had also never joined a forum until I started trying to conceive, but I can't tell you how invaluable this forum has been. I have made some fantastic friends here and know that I have a very supportive network. The information/advice from many different people has meant that I have been very well informed throughout my pregnancy and now with the arrival of my son.

Now, without wanting to kick you out of here, we are a baby buddies group in this thread, meaning that we all had or were due between 1st and 15th August this year. We all started out in Belly Buddies threads which you can find under pregnancy. You will find one for babies due between November 1st and 15th here. It can be very confusing finding certain threads until you get used to the site, but if you get lost you will find everyone on here is very friendly and will be more than willing to point you in the right direction.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and the birth and I look forward to hearing all about the birth in the birth stories/announcements threads.
