Mara, 36, German, living in VA. this is my first go around, only fur babies in my house so far. However, I've been working military infant day care for almost 6 years now.
Hi, I'm Irisini, 31 year old American living in London with my Irish husband. We've been married for 2.5 years and this is our first child. I work as International Head of Marketing for a technology company so I get to travel quite a bit. Looking forward to our new arrival and 52 weeks of maternity leave! Very nice to meet you all. xx
Hi! My name is Haley, I'm 22 and DH is 23! We are from Kentucky! I am a licensed veterinary technician, just graduated with my bachelor's degree, and I currently work 70 hours a week split between a general practice and an emergency facility. DH is a firefighter! I am 4 weeks along with baby number 1! I'm so excited/terrified to go from being a couple to being a mom! We currently have two dogs, a 5 year old pitbull, and a 5 month old pitbull!
Hi everyone! DH and I are both 29 and we have a 1 year old daughter. We had just started trying and got lucky the first time again! We live in South Florida. I'm a SAHM and DH is a lawyer with his own firm. DH and I have been together for 5 1/2 years and married for almost 2. We have two amazing cats and just adopted a Golden Retriever puppy last week! I love to cook, shop, watch tv (I'm a bit tv obsessed), kayak, and just generally hang out with DH and DD.
Hi Ladies! My name is Amanda I am 26 years old and DH is 30. We live in sunny San Diego and have been married for one amazing year this June 14th. DH has a son already who is 10, but this is my first pregnancy, and we both are very nervous and excited! I am a web developer (I build websites) and DH is a mechanic.
I am 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant and can't wait to get to know you ladies!
Hi everyone! I'm not even sure if I'm doing this right!! I'm Laura I'm 35 and DH is 38. This is our first pregnancy after 6 years of TTC! I'm due around February 1st! Super excited (and super bloated!!)
Hooray! I can finally post after my few days wait. I'm Katie and I'm 46 and will be 47 when this baby is born. My DH is 45 and will be 46. We will be celebrating 25 years of marriage this August and this will be our 8th child. We have DD 22yo, DS 20yo, DD 18yo, DS 13yo, DD 11yo, DS 7yo, DS 5yo and this baby who is due February 12. Though with my last I was almost 3 weeks late. I am a United Methodist Pastor of two small churches and my husband is a Corrections Officer. And since everyone seems to be mentioning their college degrees, I have a Masters of Divinity. This pregnancy was a HUGE surprise and I am still in the freaked out portion of our program. I am a fairly crunchy cloth diapering (and diaper sewing), babywearing, homebirthing, breastfeeding mama. I had a miscarriage last fall, so I am a little anxious about this pregnancy. Not to mention concerned about the possibility of chromosomal issues. I also have a pain disorder called CRPS and so I am weaning off of my pain meds which are not okay during pregnancy. They have me switching over to topical meds like pain patches, but it is already not good. The good thing is there is a possibility of pregnancy kicking my pain disorder into remission. So I am hoping that happens.

Hi Everyone !
I'm 26 (weeks away from 27) and DH is 27. We have been married for almost 7 years and have been together for 12 years (high school sweethearts). We live in the PNW but are originally from southern California.
This will be our first child and are really excited, although it still doesn't seem real. This will be the first grandchild on DH's side but the 4th grandchild on my side. DH is already excited to come up with ways to announce once/if we make it past the 1st Tri.
We were NTNP and just found out 2 days ago. Im 4 weeks, 6 days pregnant and we will be waiting till the baby is born to know the sex.
DH and I work together and work with special needs children. Outside of work we LOVE the outdoors and go hiking, camping, and backpacking often. I look forward to getting to know everyone here.

Hi everyone!! My name is Melissa and I'm 27-will be 28 in July. DH is 32 and we have been together 8 years, married 3. I have spent most of my life overweight but had gastric sleeve surgery in 2013. After losing 110lbs and the cysts on my ovaries shrinking we decided to start TTC. This is our first LO and I am super excited but also very nervous. We are keeping quiet until 12 weeks.
I have a MA in Special Education and run an Autism Program within a public school. I am super grateful to have the summer off so most of the unpleasantries on the first trimester will not be shared with my coworkers- thank goodness.
I'm so thankful to have a place like this to share things since I'm not yet comfortable telling my whole world
Hi everyone! I'm Jodie and I'm 33 years old. We are pregnant with our first, and we have been married for 7 years. I'm of course excited but nervous and scared as well!
Hi everyone! My name is Liz. I'm 30 and DH is 31. I got my BFP on Saturday and I couldn't be happier; it's my first pregnancy and I can't wait to be a mom! I just finished a temporary teaching job (8th grade Language Arts) and DH is a civil engineer. I'll probably be going back to administratively assisting within a few weeks here :-) We've got two cats...we had three but I just had to put my childhood cat Pepper to sleep about three weeks ago because she had kidney disease. I miss her like crazy but finding out I'm pregnant has done a lot to make me smile lately! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
@AggieKim I am sorry to hear that your mom has full body CRPS. It is a horrible disorder. Is your mom on FB? I am in a lot of CRPS support groups for CRPS and can share them with you for your mom, if she would be interested. They really are helpful. I went in for the drug study for the new CRPS drug that had fantastic results in Italy. Here is the info: https://www.rsdhope.org/neridronate---new-medication-for-crps1.html and https://rsds.org/new-u-s-clinical-trial-of-neridronate/ I had got through the screening physical but had to go home and get on hormonal BC in order to get the infusion. Of course, 2 days later I poas and got a positive pregnancy test. So I am out of the drug trial. But I would highly encourage your mom to get into the trial if she qualifies. She needs to put the zip code of the research center into the website and not her own zip code. I was going to go to Cleveland, but I know there is one in Chicago, and there is a map on the site with the various research center sites.

Hi everyone...haven't posted on the bump in forever so hope I'm responding right lol. I have a son who just turned 1 in May with a x that I caught cheating on me at 8 months prego. Im now re married to a wonderful man and I just stopped birth control last month and got a postive ( well like 20 home test and a postive blood work on Monday ) I caught it early wanted to. I was on some meds that are not to safe to take while prego. I am at about 4 weeks 2-3 days. Having some light cramping and had some very very light brown blood the other day. Didn't have that with my first so of course freaked out. Have another appt next week. It took me 4 years trying to have my son so was shocked it happened so fast, so of course worry as everyone does with these little tiny not even cramps and that little bit of blood...but anyways hi and I hope this posted in the right spot
I'm 33 and work as an engineer. DH and I have been married for 5 years now!! We have a sweet sweet 2 year old (ok independent, curious and more independence ). I just found out about an hour ago we're expecting. We've been trying for about a year now. We lost a little one last year at 12 weeks pregnant which was absolutely heart wrenching. So we're going to (TRY) not to tell people for a bit. Unfortunately his job has him cross the country so I had our little girl tell him "Daddy, Mommy has a baby in her belly." We're so so excited. I look forward to getting involved here!

We've know each other for 8 years. Rode the bus together in middle school and high school. We were very good friends from day one. we had been trying to get pregnant since we got engaged (we didn't expect it to happen so fast after getting of the pill) but we are both very excited (as well as our family's) my fiancé never wanted kids before so when we told his family we were trying they were in shock. We own a diesel mechanic shop in Las Vegas New Mexico (not Nevada and yes we are in the United States) I work at a vet clinic as a secretary and tech. We raise show calves and are starting to raise rough stock (bulls and Broncs). We also own a ranch in wagon mound New Mexico.

I have my first prenatal appointment on Tuesday and then she will start me on Lovenox. I'm still nervous because I'm only a little more than 4 weeks, but I'm sure everyone feels that way!
Hi. I'm an older IVF mama to an 8 year old boy. He will be 16 months when this second one comes along. Another boy! We know that because we did genetic testing of the embryos before they were implanted to make sure they were healthy!

It's my mother in law, actually. I'll look into it and show her. She's done multiple trials for pain pumps and different forms of compounded heavy narcotics. And given she's in her upper 50s with cardiac stents now (she'll tel you she had a heart attack but it never actually progressed that far, it was caught early enough) I'm not sure what all she might qualify for anymore. She's always been a sickly person, and getting diagnosed with RSD/CRPS definitely didn't help her much.
My name is Jessica and I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant. I am soon to be 36 and my SO is 34. We have been together for four years and have a 1 year old daughter. I am a nurse who works in the infertility field. It took me a very long time to get pregnant...and I lost the first pregnancy at 17 weeks. A few months after that horrible time, I got pregnant with my daughter. Knowing how the chances of pregnancy decline due to age (I really hate being "advanced maternal age"!!!) , I didn't want to wait too long to try again. This time it took four months. Fingers crossed ladies....that everything goes well for all of us!!!
