Default 1st time hello!

Hi Everyone-

I stumbled across this site today and decided I'd finally join a "pregnancy" community for information and entertainment! I am 23 years old, recently married (April 8th of this year) and expecting baby number 1!
DH and I found out we were pregnant in January of 2006, only to miscarry at 8 weeks. After our wedding, we were determined to get pregnant again. With a little planning, here we are! Due April 5th, 3 days before our 1 year wedding anniversary!
I have background in Human Resources.....started a new job in June as a recruiter. Unfortunately, they were not supportive when they found out about my pregnancy in September, and fired me! So, I've filed a discrimination charge with the EEOC, and have been trying (unsuccessfully) since September 9th to find a new job. Believe it or not, employers run the other way as soon as they find out I'm pregnant. Its harder now, because I'm starting to show. So......DH and I are considering the possibility of my just staying home with the baby.
So needless to say with no baby YET, and being unemployed for 2 months, I'm bored out of my mind!!

So, thats about it! Here I am... I look forward to getting to know you all better, and to sharing pregnancy events.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

This board is a very cozy and safe place to talk. Most of us on this board have 14-15 month olds and some are pregnant again w/ #2 or more. We're all very friendly and keep everything positive on this board.

I look forward getting to know you better.

Welcome!! Congrats on your new little one! It's so sad how employers can get away with discrimination as long as they make up some other excuse But staying home is great too!

You'll love the ladies here!
