My name is tovah, I am 30 in September. I've been with my husband for nine years, this is our third babe. I'm a SAHM and my husband is a powerlineman. We have two boys, Wilson and Sullivan (4&2). We also have an enormous dog, Piggy.
Wilson, ended up being an emerg section. Sully was a successful VBAC but I had complications with retained placenta that was missed for seven hours

Hi! I'm 27 and from Oklahoma City. My husband and I have been married two years (I am pretty sure we conceived on our anniversary trip to Lake Tahoe). We were definitely not planning on getting pregnant but we are excited now that we are! I am a high school math teacher and a wellness educator with Young Living Essential Oils. We aren't telling friends yet so I am glad to have this board!
Hi I'm Janel. I'm 29 and expecting my second little one near the end of February. Ive been married 6 years and my daughter is 2 and a half. I am a teacher and I am so pumped to be on summer vacation. Hopefully morning sickness will be over by the time school starts again in the fall. I am still nursing my daughter and I am pretty passionate about breastfeeding. It has been such an amazing part of motherhood for me and I am looking forward to sharing that bond with my newbie. DD is positive that the baby is a sister. she won't hear any of this brother possibility nonsense. Lol. My first appointment is on July 15th.
I'm Cassandra, 29, from Southern California. I have a 4.5 yr old daughter from a previous marriage and DH has a 12 yr old daughter from previous relationship. DH (32) and I have been married since September 2014 and have always known we wanted to have kids pretty quickly. I'm unsure of my due date - but I'm estimating around Feb 9th. I'm hoping to know for sure after an ultrasound tomorrow!
Hello to all the expecting mothers out there. I'm 21, 22 next month and this is my first pregnancy. I am 8 weeks in and sick of being sick. It was unexpected. Due Feb 2nd 2016 and excited can't wait
Hey! My name is Bekah, 18, engaged, and happy to be expecting. My due date is February 8th. As far as I can see I'm the youngest one, and I'm hoping that's ok with everyone?
Hello! My name is Misty. I'm probably one of the oldest ones here as I'm 41! My hubby (second marriage) is only 28 though lol. We have a 2 year old son that we had to use Clomid to conceive. I have PCOS along with the age factor. Well in March this year I miraculously ended up pregnant naturally! Unfortunately it wasn't a viable pregnancy My HCG was 35 then two days later was only 37. I miscarried at 5 weeks. That surprise pregnancy made us realize, though, that we wanted another baby. Soooooo 2 cycles of Clomid later, I'm pregnant!! Going by LMP due date is Feb 28 which is also my DH's birthday. Maybe it's a good sign Also I got my first BFP on Father's Day so I gave him a digital test showing pregnant as one of his gifts. Of course, I'm worried with my age and previous miscarriage. HCG at 13dpo was 61 progesterone was 51.1. At 15dpo HCG went up to 161 so that's good! I go back next Wed which is a week after last blood test to have numbers checked again. First appt and ultrasound will be July 10th. I'll be 6w5d by LMP. To add to my story I have 25 and 23 year old daughters and my oldest daughter is expecting my first grandbaby, due December 7th! So that baby will have a younger aunt or uncle lol. That's my crazy story! Hope to find a good board to be able to talk with people on!
Hi! My name is Jenn I'm 32 and 8 weeks along. This is my first pregnancy! We're SO excited! I've known my husband since high school, started dating after college, and we've been married since September.
We live in Colorado and currently have a "dog-ter" (lab pit mix) named Sierra! She's been good practice so far, but she's in for a big surprise come February!
I work for a beer company and on the side I design floral arrangements for weddings! In our down time we love camping, going to concerts and just spending time together trying out local restaurants!
Hey, I'm Becks and this is our first. My hubby and I are both 28 and have been married six months. I'm a nanny, he's studying/working accounting, used to be a chef. We have a border collie who will hopefully keep me out walking. We're due 18th Feb.
I'm 32 and am 5 weeks preggo with my second. My DD is 13 months. We had planned to get pregnant several months from now, but God wanted us to have our second child much sooner! :-)
Hi everyone! My name is Allison I'm 22 and my boyfriend is 33.. (We were childhood friends that coincidentally fell for each other). Either way we've been together over 2 years now and long distance for most of it. I graduate Radiology school here in New Orleans in 5 weeks, my boyfriend is an orthopaedic surgeon in Orlando where I'll be moving after graduation. This baby will be a first for both of us! It came as a shock at first because I was using nuvaring but either way we are nervous and very very excited! I'm supposed due February 9th which is also Mardi Gras day!
Hey, I'd like to keep my name anonymous. I'm 18 and my partner is 19 and I'm 6 weeks pregnant today. This obviously wasn't planned but we're still happy. I am keeping the baby. And I'm a little worried about everyone's reactions when they find out. I live in a small country town called Trangie in NSW Australia. A little nervous about everything as this wasn't expected.
Hi Everyone! I'm Kim. I have a 2 year old daughter. I'm married (almost 6 years, together almost 12 years). My husband and I are expecting our 2nd child Feb 20, 2016! We are so excited! It took 4 years to get pregnant with our daughter and just 3 months with this baby. To be honest I was quite surprised at how fast we got pregnant this time! Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 9 months!!!
First time mom to be! 8 weeks pregnant with almost zero symptoms. Is that normal? This is all brand new so I'm a little nervous. I'm due February 6th and would LOVE some friendly input, advice, kind words....anything
Hi! My name is Diana and I'm 28 years old. DH is 30 and this is our first child. We've been married since 2012, going on 3 years. I am 5 weeks today, still in shock, and having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept. We planned for it, but this was our very first month "trying" (just not preventing really) so we were very very shocked to get pregnant right away. Not complaining!!
I think we're both sort of cautiously excited as a defense mechanism until we have our first us and we can know everything is actually REAL and progressing as it should. But that isn't until July 15 and feels FOREVER from now!!!
My name is Angie, I'm 32 and a practicing lawyer. This isn't my first pregnancy, but it is the farthest along I've gotten with a pregnancy. I did 1 round of clomid. DH and I have been married for 4 years and trying for 1.5 years. We had at least 3 early miscarriages. I'm both concerned and excited about the possibility of multiples. Symptoms so far have been mostly bloating and swollen boobs. We have an 11 year old doberman mix who is our pride and joy. I plan to keep working after baby, unless I don't get paid mat leave and unless we have multiples (since I don't think we could afford child care for 2). Both scared and excited!
Looking forward to reading advice from other parents!
Due Date: Feb. 24, 2016
Team--Pink (but our nursery is Orange, Blue, & Purple!)

Hi my name is Robin! My fiancé and I are expecting our first child Due date is 2/2/16. I had my first u/s on Wednesday 6/24 and I measured 8w1d. We were not planning this pregnancy, but we are so excited! I did conceive while taking BC pills. We will be finding out the gender! I'm the typical FTM that googles everything and over analyzes the little things- I'm trying to be much better at relaxing! I'm super excited for all of the fun things to come! These message boards help to ease my mind- so far, I'm loving my time spent here on The Bump!
I'm Amanda, and after lurking around here for a few days, I'm glad I can finally post! I'm 28 and a teacher, and let me just say that having the first trimester off of work is the best. This is my first and I had no idea of the fatigue that was in store for me! EDD is February 12th!
Hi Everyone! My name is Marian and I'm 30. My SO is 31. We have been together for four years and neither one of us have kids. We both planned on having kids one day. This pregnancy was definitely a surprise to both of us and my OB. I went in for my yearly and was told by OB that I maybe infertile. My OB wanted to start the infertility process the following week Wednesday. I found out I was expecting the same day my infertility tests started, needless to say we are ALL very shocked. I'm 5 weeks and 6 days and due Feb 20th! I'm excited to be apart of this group. Congrats to everyone!!
Heyo! I'm 29 (30 in early July) and DH is 30. We've been together for six years and married for just under one. This is my first pregnancy (SQUEEEEEE!!!!), achieved after several months of trial and error with different doses of Clomid and Letrozole (double dose of Letrozole ended up doing the trick on the first try!). Due date is 2/20/2016. Hooray!
Hi! My name is Karen. I'm 30, from Austin, TX and this is my first pregnancy! Dh is 35 and we've been married for 1.5 years, together for 4. We have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months and our second try with IVF has resulted in a pregnancy. We're so so excited! Due on February 14,2016
Hi ladies! I'm 31 and DH is 33; we've been together for 12 years and married for 9. We live in Dallas, where I'm a pediatric psychologist and DH is a contract manager. This is our first pregnancy and we're excited to welcome an actual (non-canine) child into our family! Pictures of our dogs, with whom we're obsessed, below. Baby is due 2-21-16!
Edit: My apologies while I figure out how this whole posting pictures thing works...
Wow at this point idk if anyone is even going to see this lol. My name is Lizzie I am 22 and my husband is 26. We just celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary and recently bought a new house now it's time to add having a baby to the list of things to celebrate. We're due around February 24th. I have been TTC for over a year and I can't even begin to say how relived I am to finally get pregnant! We were starting to worry it wasn't going to be something that would happen naturally for us.
Hi everyone, I am Amanda. My husband and I are 28 and expecting our first on Feb 10. I have been reading and following all of the discussion on the boards, but have been extremely reluctant and hesitant to introduce myself because I am still extremely nervous of a mc. As of today I am 7 weeks and 2 days and have my first u/s scheduled July 9th. I am hoping this anxiety will subside once we see our little peanut in two weeks.
Praying I am here for the long haul.....congrats to all the moms!
My name is Ashly. I am 26 and have been with my husband for 10 years. We our expecting baby #2 and our beyond excited:)! Our little girl will be 6 in August, and she's ready to be a big sister lol. We have our first ultrasound tomorrow which will be about 8 weeks...oh and we also have 4 dogs in our growing little family. I am excited to have this great tool to hear similar stories and experiences!! Good luck to all!!
I'm Laurel I'm 29 years old. This is my first child. My fiance and I have been engaged since Christmas, but we have been on and off since I was 19. We own our own house and have a fur baby her name is Bella and she is a 1 1/2 year old puggle. My fiance and I have been together steady now for 5 years. This pregnancy wasn't planned but we had talked about children in the near future. So we are super excited! I am 5 weeks 2 days, due roughly end of Feb. So far no morning sickness, but I expect it to come! As people I have talked to say it usually starts at about 6 weeks. So right now I am trying to get as much rest as I can as I am usually pretty exhausted at the end of the day which I hope passes once I'm done my first trimester:)
Hello! My name is Valerie and I am 30 years old. This is my first baby! I have been with my honey for 10 years this October! We can't wait for our bundle! I have a Bachelor's in Psychology and hope to attend graduate school, to improve life for us and our little jelly bean! Nice to meet you all!
Hi everyone, I'm Avasha. I'm 35, a psychologist, and this is my first pregnancy. My DH is 41. We've been trying for several months now and very excited. I have my first appointment on Monday!
Hello! My name is Mariah. I am 22 years old this will be my first very unexpected baby! Due February 20th! Both my boyfriend and I are february babies also! 8-} We have been together four years and are still getting use to the idea of bringing an amazing life into this world. Having kids were always in the plan, just not yet! It's scary how fast things can change! But with my best friend by my side I am thrilled to grow as a woman and into a mother. Many tried to convince me of abortion. Creating a life is taken so lightly, I could never fathom it. I feel my only duty in life right now is to mature and be all I could ever be for the sake of my child. This feeling of being pregnant is still new yet so incredible. Have faith in yourselves ladies! We are amazing creatures!
Hi, my name is Sarah. I'm 27yo and pregnant with my first child. My EDD is February 23, 2016. I am an architectural designer and DH is in staffing and recruiting. We have been married a year and a half and are very excited to be expanding our family. I'm hoping our German Shephard and sweet kitty cat will enjoy the new family member too!
Hi everyone! My name is Kris and I am 30 yrs old pregnant with my first child! My husband and I have been married almost 2 years. Our baby is due Feb 7, one day after my husbands bday! I am 8 weeks tomorrow! Crazy how this time is flying!
I'm Allison and I'm 25 from PA. This is my first pregnancy and I'm 6w5d today. I haven't had a doctor appt yet and won't until I'm 8 weeks. Even that is my annual exam and won't have my first prenatal appointment until around week 12, which seems like a long wait to me. My husband works night shift so it's hard feeling bad and sleeping alone, but I'm hanging in there. I haven't told anyone except a co-worker that recently had a baby so I had someone to vent to. And of course my husband. I'm very excited but also know it's early on so I'm nervous that things could go wrong. Trying to stay positive!
