~~ The WTTC Grad Mentor Team Thread ~~ UPDATE 10/4

Mod-Lady Valkyrie · #1 September 15th, 2011, 01:30 AM

This thread is for WTTC Grad Mentors to share ideas with each other or shout out to other Grad Mentors for help or advice.

Each week I will post questions or prompts here for you to share with your mentee by pm, to check in and encourage them.

Feel free to start off with some introductions between the mentors!!

Hi. I'm Angie and I'm the mom to 3 boys: Jordan (11), Jayden (9), and Christian (5). My DH, Mike and I have been married for 7 years. We are pregnant with #4 (our second together). We are planning a home birth for this one. I've had 3 prior c/s and no dr or hospital will allow me to deliver there and I really want a vaginal birth this time around.

I can't wait to get this started!!

I'm Shasta, 27. DH is Jesse, 26. I have had 2 pregnancies and no live births, with miscarriages in the first trimester. Right now we are TTC our first, and hoping that we won't have to wait long.

Task for week of 10/4

This week, if nothing else has come up, please pm your mentee and tell them either your top 3 tips for dealing with baby fever, or share an anecdote where you were overwhelmed with baby fever and what calmed it down. The point being to make them feel "normal" and reassured as well as hopefully offering a little practical advice.

Please can you all check in here, too, and let me know how it's going?
