Hi May Buddies! I'm due on the 27th, and am keeping the baby's sex as a surprise.
You're a better woman than me, there's no way I could wait that long to tell!

What kinds of births are you all planning? I'm going for a hospital birth with midwife and doula.
I'm planning on birthing in a local (30 min away) hospital birthing center. I'm having the same OB that delivered my first DD deliver this one too as I had some complications with the first, and wanted the same doc if something should happen with this one. (pre-eclampsia). It's a lovely center, they practice more modern birthing techniques (letting a woman determine the best way to have her baby). They have whirlpools in every room, birthing balls, squatting bars, and all the nurses essentially act as doulas.

Also, has anybody started childbirth class yet?
No, and don't plan on it. I had classes with my first.
Our little one is due May 10th We wanted to keep the sex a surprise! We're so excited
I'm having a hospital birth. I have Group B Strep so have no choice I would have liked a home birth or to have given birth in a birthing centre with a pool etc, but it's solely midwife run - no doctors.
I'm glad there's a little May group. We'll be able to keep each other company right up to the birth (especially whilst we're on Maternity leave). I finish work in April and will be on Maternity leave until January 2009
