Pregnant Lesbians or Lesbian Moms?
| Tue, 12-19-2006 - 10:26am |
Hi all, my name is Jen. My partner Daniella and I are expecting our first baby in July 2007. We are so excited and have been through a lot to get to this point. I am carrying this one and once I finish with maternity leave, she will be a stay at home mom. I am nervous about money issues but know we will swing it. Just wanted to see if there is anyone out there going through the same thing or has gone through or plans to go through it?

Hi Jen!
Pieces of My Life
First, welcome and congratulations! Being a mom is so rewarding! I have two DDs, and they are a lot of fun. I used to be married, so they are my and XH's children. I'm not in quite the same situation as you are.
Money is definitely an issue, but if you are able to have at-home care, that will help a lot.
Yes, there are several here on the board who have/are in your situation. Hopefully, they'll speak up!
Good luck and welcome, again!

My partner Beth and I will be married on halloween and after that we do plan to have a child together .She has a son from a previous marriage and well I will carry our baby because it is to risky for her to carry again....
we really haven't worked out who will stay at home and so forth.I wish you the best of luck and Happy holidays also.......
Isn't it incredible to see that tiny beating heart?! It truly is a miracle. Sounds like you have a great network of support and love. You'll be a great mom!
Happy Holidays to you and Daniella!
My actively parenting days are in the rear view mirror, but just wished to wish you all well... you will do just fine!
worlds undone
I am hugely impressed by the support your boss has shown! That is awesome...give him a big hug from me!
