Hey there ladies thought it was about time that I wrote something about myself.

I am helen and Im 27. Married to my gorgeous hubby Nick. We have been together for nearly 5 years and married for 6 weeks!! We were together 11 years ago when i was 16 and i still stand by what I say and that is fate brought us back together. both moving into the same street 5 years ago.

This is our 4th attempt at having a baby. the first 3 unfortunately all ended in miscarriage early on, so we are both very excited about getting this far. We had just started to have tests done to see the cause of the miscarriages when one morning I woke up and thought I dont feel right, did a test and there was the line that we had been hoping for!!

The doctors signed me off work for the first 12 weeks to ensure that i didn't have any extra stress than I needed which i think helped a lot, although in that time, we decided to get married and then 6 weeks later, we were!! Was the happiest day of my life and can't wait to add to that when are beautiful baby is born.

I think that this site is great, its so nice to be able to go through it all with you guys and to know that we are all going through the same things at the same time!!
