Hi everyone! I'm Anne from BC Canada. I'm 5w5d pregnant with my first. I have short cycles so I found out early at 3w4d. I'm 29, my husband is 34. I've mostly been hungry with sore boos but yesterday the exhaustion started. I'm looking for work right now so at least I can nap when I need to. My skin has been on a roller coast as well. I'm more of a lurker but I'll be here reading and supporting! Just wanted to say hi!
Hey ladies! I'm Jae, 31, from New Jersey currently living in LA. I'm a nursery nurse, hence why I had baby fever and am pregnant! I live with my bf, also from jersey, and we've been together almost 2 years. Congrats and good luck to you all!
Hi Eveyone, I'm Amanda. My husband Scott & I are expecting our first child and we are both so excited! We are both mid to late 20's professionals. I think I am some where between 5 & 6 weeks. I am nervous for this amazing journey and I know it's going to be great. Like many of you I have been nauseous and so tired lately. I just want to nap all the time. I feel lucky because my boobs have not been too sore (yet).
Hi my name is Mercedes and I am 23. I am married to DH for three years at the end of June and been together for 6 on the forth of July. I have a DD who is 10months who was born with Down syndrome and a heat defect. She had open heart surgery at 3 months. I am 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant with baby number two. With DD I was high risk and this time they do not think I am this time. Ya for auto immune diseases and hypothyroid!!!!!
Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer and im 23 years old. This is baby #2 for us. Our son, Hayden, is an A13 baby. I was induced and delivered him on August 27th which is also the day before my birthday. Found out last night that I'm expecting and couldn't be more excited Estimated due date is February 19th! And my hubby doesn't know that I am pregnant. I am gonna tell them when he wakes up in a few hours!
Hi I'm Megan and i'm 28 and my husband is Joe and he's 39! We are actually going to be moving to charlotte, NC in about 2 weeks. So if there are any charlotte mommies that want to get together, just let me know, i'm down! This is our first child and we couldn't be more excited. We've been together for 6 years, married almost a year! We just went out our belated honeymoon and last month, and how cliche, we came home as 3! With the first month of trying, i didn't think it would be this easy but i am so excited. As well as super nervous. Looking forward to my first doctor and ultrasound apt on July 10th! As of today I am 4 weeks and 2 days! I found about 4 days before missed period which was crazy. But i just knew it.
Hey everybody! FINALLY I can post! My name is Nicole, I'm 27 (almost 28) and due February 8th! My husband, Jeff (31), and I have been together for nearly 10 years and June 27th will be our 6th wedding anniversary. We have one son, Branson, who is 3 1/2. He was a complete accident and we definitely weren't ready at that time in our lives for a child but man o man do we love that boy! It took us a long time to decide to try for a second so we're pretty excited that I'm expecting now! We moved to Germany one year ago when my husband was offer a 2 year expat assignment for Daimler-Mercedes. I'm pretty nervous about being pregnant/giving birth and having a new born along with a toddler in a foreign country! My first doc appt was yesterday and my doctor speaks very little English and my german isn't too hot. So DH will have to come to every apt with me! I was pretty uncomfortable and emotional after my apt yesterday, there are some cultural differences that will take some getting used to. I'm hoping I can use this group as a support system since I have no family over here, it would be nice to be able to talk to other pregnant ladies!
DH and I have been married for 7 years this month. DS is 3. We had an amazing home birth with him and will do it again for this one. My BFP was a surprise! We weren't going to try for #2 until September, but I O'd early and so here we are. I haven't told DH yet but will tell him sometime between the 17the and Father's Day. (I ordered a photo magnet with DS holding a sign saying "I've been promoted to big brother" and it will be here on the 17th. We'll see if I can keep it quiet until the 21st.)

Congrats! You have way more control then me. I wanted to do something cute to announce to my DH but wasn't able to keep it a secret longer than the day I found out. Father's day weekend will be a perfect time to tell him

Hey! I'm Liz, I'm 22, and a first time mom. Due date is February 1st. I'm originally from Boston, currently live in Baltimore where I went to university, but planning to move to Dallas/Fort Worth area in the next two months or so (boyfriend is from Texas). So excited and so nervous!!
What else, hmmm... I have a cat, degree in political science (but now I just want to be a stay at home mom haha). Brian (bf) works in sales out of DFW. Hoping for a girl (fingers crossed!)
I am hesitant to introduce myself so soon, but I got the BFP this AM and am bursting at the seams to tell someone! (Husband doesn't know yet) This is my second little one, I am 30 and a teacher. We wanted to have some space between our kids, so I had an IUD for the last 2 years. As soon as we pulled it, boom, I am pregnant. Very excited for my Valentine baby!
Hi! I'm Lisa, I'm 28 years old, and this is my second pregnancy. The first one ended in m/c last September. This is a very nervous time for my husband and I, as we want a child very much and we are worried we could lose another. Baby is due on valentine's day 2016.
Hey there! I'm Melanie and I'm 28. My SO will be 38 on Sunday. Last year I had a MMC so I'm extremely nervous about this one sticky but so excited at the same time. We just got engaged a month ago so there is a lot of excitement on our end.
We have two little fur babies (one we just rescued two months ago), Maisie and Queen. One is still a puppy and always bouncing off the walls and the other we don't really know her true age but she is loveable for sure.
I work in a Service Center full time for an amazing company I've been with for 9 years now. Then I also am an independent presenter for a makeup company called Younique. I stated that in March and it has definitely changed my life and I have met so many amazing people along the way!
We're keeping our fingers crossed and praying that this pregnancy goes well. Looking forward to getting to know all you ladies and wishing everyone a happy healthy pregnancy!
Hello hello! If anyone read this far I'm Ciera lol. I am 29 have a 2.5 yr old born dec 1, 2012. And am currently due feb 8! We were not trying to conceive but we had unprotected sex a week after the first day of my period and I must have ovulated early. Haha. We are excited anyway! Just weaned my son in March. Looking forward to another homebirth but this time keeping the sex a secret until birth! Last time we had a gender reveal party and all that jazz! Good luck mamas
My name is Jaime I am 29 and this is my second pregnancy. I was pregnant this time last year and miscarried at 12 weeks. It was a very emotional experience for me and it took a very long time for me to get back to normal. We are 5 weeks pregant this week and everything is going well so far. My OB has me on a progesterone regiment to help increase my chances of viable pregnancy! My husband and I are beyond excited to be pregnant again. I am so glad to be a part of the February club! Our first OB apt is June 26th!
I am also a lap band patient and so pregnancy/eating will be an interesting adventure for me. I am from Arkansas and no I am not a redneck! I love to paint and craft! I look forward to hearing everyone's stories and having a sounding board for my issues! My husband and I have been married 3 years in October! We have two fur babies Bridgette and Tessy and can not wait to bring home a human sibling for them! I work at a children's hospital in the emergency department as a family services assistant ( BS in Human Services) we are a division of the social work department and also have a culinary degree in baking and pastry and spent time as the assistant pastry chef for a large hotel. I teach cooking classes on weekends and love to garden. I also love to paint birds and other quirky creatures!
Hello!!! I'm GG from Alabama!! I'm 31, married and mom of two boys and a stepson! I just got a BFP last Wednesday after having a miscarriage in April. Quick huh? I'm just praying all goes well this time. I've done blood work last week and this week with good results so hopefully I'll be able to schedule an appt soon. Looking forward to chatting with you ladies!
I'm new to message boards but I have been hanging around the last few days. My husband (30) and I (28) just found out we are expecting our second child late Jan (31st) or early Feb. Our son is a crazy energetic 2 year old and was born in early Feb as well so my fingers are crossed that he and baby 2.0 don't have to share a birthday. Either way it's going to be close.
We are originally from Seattle but are flying out on Sunday to live as expats in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. My husband was offered a great opportunity so I quit my job teaching middle school art, we packed our bags, said our goodbyes, and will be on our way.
I look forward to being a member of this online community and getting to know everyone.

@Nkevwitch12 - We fly to Luxembourg on Sunday where we will be living as Expats as well. I am kind of freaking out about the idea of having to find a doctor who speaks English, cultural differences, dealing with my 2 year old son with super human energy, etc. etc. Anyway, I would love to maybe exchange emails with you at some point if that isn't SUPER creepy to ask of a complete stranger on internet. You are just the first person who sounds like they are going to being going through some very similar experiences.
Hi everybody! My name is Arielle. I am 29 years old, live in Central Florida and this is my second pregnancy. I am more nervous this time around than I was with my first. We just got our BFP this afternoon so I may jumping the gun a little by posting here but hey, I'm pregnant, I'm allowed to be nutty
Hi everyone! I'm Lynda. I have a large family already and found out last week I'm expecting again! I'm 37 and do not believe that I am high risk just because I hit a magic number. I am a researcher by nature and love learning about new things. We've been married 14 years now. We are also a military family. I was previous active duty and hubby will retire from military not soon enough. Hahahaha. No, we have a few more years minimum unless he makes rank before then. I'm a born and raised Texan and he's a New Yorker. We literally met and have our family by the grace of God at every turn.
Hello all! I'm Valerie. Recently found out were pregnant with an anticipated due date of 2/12. Really nervous and excited as we've had a previous MC. Looking forward to hopefully celebrating some wonderful milestones with that grand finale in February!
This is my third pregnancy, 2nd child. My middle pregnancy was a surrogacy for my aunt. I have a daughter that's three and I just finished the surrogacy in January so this is really quick after. I'm still kind of shocked, surprised shocked, but so excited. I just told my husband tonight and he is very excited as well. So happy to be here!
Hey I am Laura, age 29. Live in a tiny village in south Ontario and I own an arts studio where I teach music theatre and we offer lessons in all forms of music, art and drama. I have been pregnant once before but did not find out until miscarriage, so this is my first pregnancy that has sunk in ! I am almost 7 weeks and have been through a whirlwind the last week after getting called to the doctors when they got my blood tests back from my prenatal check up. Turns out I have type 1 diabetes and have gone my whole life without diagnoses. So now I am slowly trying to figure out not only how to do this pregnancy thing but also how to live with a chronic disease..... oy. A bit terrifying but on the positive side they caught it early so thus far everything looks fine with the baby, and I will be having some pretty intense prenatal care, which rests my mind at ease ! Anyone else out there living with diabetes or any nurses have any tips please share !
Hi everyone! I'm Casey I'm 26 and DH is 29. We've been together for 8 years, married for 2. This will be our 1st baby and we are so excited!! We live in south jersey. I'm a registered dental assistant and he works on the military helicopters and goes out on test flights. I believe I'm 4 weeks and our due date is 2/21/16 Will have that confirmed asap! We have one furbaby- a cane Corso named Cira who we love dearly. She enjoys snuggling with daddy. Congrats to everyone!!!
Hi, my name is Kate, i'm 25 and my fiance is 26. We are getting married in a few weeks on August 1st 2015:) We have been together for five and a half years.
I have two thyroid conditions: Hashimoto's Disease and slight Graves Disease. They are not prominent at all. My doctor did tell us it could take us a long time to conceive ( should only try when my thyroid was balanced and i couldnt take any meds for it ), so we tried early. Started trying last month and wahbam! First shot (i tracked OV) and we are now 5.5 weeks pregnant
We had a possible miscarriage in 2011 after i tested too early.
We have one fur baby, our crazy cat who my fiance is obsessed with!
Hey y'all! My name is Mallory. I've been with my husband three years this September. Our LG will turn one in July and our second one is on the way, due Feb 5 2016! We are a single income household and I'm a happy SAHM. We have 8 fur babies, four cats and four dogs. Our cats love our little girl and she loves them. She is walking, starting to talk and will warm anyone's heart with her smile. We planned this pregnancy and we're very excited about it!
Hey ladies! I am 29 years old. I live in SC with my husband of almost 5 years and my 10.5 month old daughter. We decided to ttc in May, and wham-bam-thankyou-ma'am I'm pregnant. It was pretty shocking to is because we tried for seven months to get pregnant with our dd. anyway, my edd is 2.17.15 and we are so excited! I don't have my first appointment with my midwife until 7.21.15 and the wait is going to be torture!
My name is Nicole. I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I am a mommy to an awesome little guy that turned 2 on June 10th! On my 30th birthday I took a pregnancy test and got a positive! Yayyy! We are so excited.
I work as a Quality Specialist for a Pittsburgh based company and really love what I do. But most days I can't wait to get home to my sweet little boy. I'm a little nervous about juggling working and a toddler this time around. I had a hard enough time with just work last time!
Hi! I'm Leigh. I'm 36 and about 7 weeks with surprise! Baby #3. We weren't trying, it just happened. I struggled to get pregnant with the first two, so we were shocked to find out I was pregnant without all the charting, timing and temping I was doing in the past. Excited to be here! But now that I'm AMA, I'm a little worried and I'm totally taking all the regular precautions and then some.
I'm Newt's Mommy. I'm 29 and I have an 11yr old SD and a 4yr old DD so the hubs is really hoping for a boy with this one. DH and I have been together for almost 11yrs and married for 6yrs. I'm also a mommy to a 7yr old black lab.
I work in customer service. I greatly enjoy wine, craft beer, and sushi both of which I'll have to give up for the foreseeable future...darn the luck! LOL
DH and I had been trying off and on for a little over a year and this was our last ditch effort until October and lo and behold I got a BFP on Sunday! DH and I were both pleasantly surprised! I'm still a little shocked to be honest. Other than incessant hunger and super sore tatas I really don't have any symptoms with this pregnancy. We still haven't told anyone, my husband and OB are the only ones who know. My first US and appt aren't until the second week of July. Trying to think of a clever way to announce.
Looking forward to getting to know all of you ladies!
