Hi ladies! I'm Katie and I got my BFP last Friday. Based on my LMP, my EDD will be May 23, but I will hopefully get a confirmation from my doctor at my first appointment on Oct. 14th (8 weeks). I am 28 and DH is 30 and this will be our first baby. I'm a fraternal twin, so there is the chance that this will be our first and second. We have been married just over a year. As of now the EDD is one week before our second wedding anniversary. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!!
Hello mommas! My name is Malissa and I'm 32 and I live in Calgary, Canada with my 34 year old hubby and our Scottish terrier. We have been married for over 6 years, together for 9. We just decided to start actively TTC, and were a bit surprised when it happened right away! This will be our first child and my first pregnancy and we are thrilled and scared and excited all at once! EDD is May 14.
Hello. My due date is May 22. This is our second child. DD is 3.5, turning 4 in November. I agree with a previous poster who said it's nice this time around to not be constantly thinking about being pregnant. There are times when I forget and then it pops back in my head. There are also times when I'm in my car and I have to say out loud, "I'm pregnant and nobody knows it". Except DH.
I look forward to checking in on the boards from time to time. Especially during these first few weeks when we're not telling people. Anxious for my first appointment and to successfully negotiate the 1st trimester.
Hello everybody! I'm currently pregnant with our second child! Due May 18. My daughter is 5. We had always planned on having more than one child and I definitely did not plan on having them almost six years apart, but then LIFE happened and it was just never a good time to add another little one to our family. I was active on TB waaaay back when I was pregnant with my daughter. I'm so glad to be back (finally)!!!
Hi Mommas! My name is Jenni and I'm 27. My DH and I have been married for over 5 years. We have an almost 3 yr old and an almost 2 yr old - both girls. I can't be bothered to count the months anymore :P We're due May 22 and hoping to stay team green! We had tried for awhile after my second daughter to get pregnant with no results so we took about a 9 month break and got pregnant the first month in...I couldn't believe it! Best part is I found out my sister is due 6 days after me - we are SO excited!
I can't wait to get to know you all - May will be here before we know it!
My name is kristine i am 25 years old from australia.. my fiance and i get married in two weeks time and said we would start trying for a bub then.. i have endometriosis and was told it would be quite difficult to fall pregnant easily.. so i am very shocked that i am pregnant after one month of unprotected sex. I guess im really nervous as it feels as if it were too easy.. (i know other women share this feeling) .. feels like its too good to be true.
Anyway i wish you all the best in your pregnancy and lets enjoy this journey! Xx
I'm 33, DH is 32 and we have a 15 mo DD. We live in MN. Found out on Sept 11th and EDD is may 12th, 2 weeks before DD turns 2. DD was born with a congenital heart defect and i have AIH so we are a little nervous. Will be having a level 2 at the perinatal clinic at some point. I've been at my new job a month so the timing isn't great but we are still excited. Haven't been to the dr yet but have contacted him so no appt date. Only 2 friends know, 1 of who is prego and due a month before me so it's nice to have you ladies. We were team green before and will definitely go that route again! Best wishes!
I'm Darcy, 29 years old and married to hubby for 2.5 years, and this is our first baby! We have two kitties (furbabies), and live in Iowa. I'm waiting to hear from the obgyn office for our first appointment, and am chomping at the bit to share our news with everyone! Hubby wants to wait till November so we're past the first trimester, so for now it's just me, him, and all of you! Keeping this a secret from all our friends and family is killing me tho. I feel like such a liar!
Hey Ladies! First of all, congrats to all of you! Glad to share my experience and this journey with this group.
My name is Kim, I'm 29 years old and originally from Germany. Met my husband in 2008 and after our wedding in 2010 I moved to the States. We are currently residing in Houston, since 2010 I moved already 3 times, but Houston feels like home now.
I'm a sales manager for a new home building company but once the baby is here, I will take a step back and enjoy motherhood. My husband is a project manager for an oilfield company, with both of us having busy jobs and long hours, I really want to enjoy this special bonding time, plus none of my family lives here... Who's going to teach the baby German?!;)
I am due on May the 4th and super excited. We tried for 1 1/2 years now and it finally happened!
Just getting used to this app. It's going to take me a while to get through all those posts but I'm excited to being a part of May 2016 moms ❤️
Hi everyone Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I signed up on here quite some time ago but just really started using the site more since we started TTC.
I'm 34 and the hubby is 32. We live in upstate NY and I love it. We have been married since July 16th 2015 and shortly after we were married we decided it was time to start a family.
We started TTC the end of July and I just got my BFP on Sept 21st. I also took another one yesterday and got the same results. So now the journey into motherhood begins. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but I am also excited as well. my due date according to calculators online is May 20th 2016. But I have an appointment in the 30th so I may have a better estimate then.
We also have a cat who is spoiled rotten and I have tropical fish as well.
There really isn't that much to tell about myself but if there is something you would like to know feel free to ask.
Hi Mama's! First I want to say Congratulations to everyone!!!
My name is Nykki. I'm 28 and DH is also 28. We are from Georgia. We have a spunky little 3 year old daughter, who will be 4 in November. We found out we are expecting this past Saturday. EDD is May 20! We are so nervous, anxious, excited, and scared. Lol.

I'm 25, will be 26 when LO is born, and my DH will be 29 next week and we live in Raleigh, NC. We've had a long journey and I got my first BFP Monday after 14 months of actively TTC. We had started testing with the RE and it was very much a surprise to conceive on our own. I'm still wary and go for my second beta tomorrow morning. Our first OB appointment is October 13th!
I play mostly in private groups and tend to be super, super honest, so hopefully we can all be adults and play nice here! I look forward to"meeting" everyone!
Hi Teresa 33 and pregnant with my 4th child! I've been trying for about 4 months and was about to give up then period didn't start and guess what! Today is my first OB appt and I'm scared just worried it's early and could miscarry.
DH and I are both 30. We live on the Florida Gulf Coast where we are both avid sailors. We have known each other our entire lives, but we didn't start dating until college. We have been married since June 2007. I am an in-house attorney for a large corporation, and DH is a boat captain and manager of a marine supply store.
We just found out that we are expecting first child, due May 16, 2016. I never thought I wanted children until right before I turned 30 and my "clock started ticking." We were not TTC, but we hadn't exactly been trying not to for the past 2 months when we first began discussing the possibility of starting a family.
I can't wait to tell my family, especially my younger sister because she and my BIL are expecting their first child in November. It is going to be awesome having cousins so close in age! Neither DH nor I have family nearby, so we are nervous about doing this "on our own," but we are really excited!
I look forward to getting to know you all. I am also looking forward to advice from those of you who are already mothers! Congratulations to everyone!
Hi everyone, I just got my BFP on Monday, and have an EDD of May 28. This is wonderful news as we have been TTC for almost a year, and has an early loss in July. I am hoping for a sticky baby!
I have a 2.5 yo son who was born in Jan '13. I look forward to chatting with you all!
Hi all!! Just found out we are pregnant again...not planned, but so excited! I am 28 & my husband is 34. We've been married since July 2011. We have a beautiful son who will be 1 on Oct 4. I was part of the Sept14 board last time, although the little man stayed in 2 weeks extra!
My sister (who is not on this board...I don't think!) is also due in May! She's due on the 1st, I'm due on the 29th. Our first kids are 4 months apart, and these ones are due 4 weeks apart! It's exciting to go through this with her!
I'm looking forward to being a part of this board!!
**trigger warning - loss and infertility mentioned**
Hello! I'm 35 and expecting my first! After a few years of infertility, an unsuccessful IUI, and one miscarriage, I am (finally) pregnant again after undergoing IVF (fresh transfer). My EDD is May 25, 2016.
DH and I live in Iowa with our two dogs and one cat. I'm thrilled to be here and praying this baby sticks! Good luck to everyone!
Hello! My name is Rachel, and I'm a 34-year-old FTM. My husband and I live outside of Detroit, and we've been married since June 2014. We started TTC last September and finally got our BFP earlier this month. Our EOD is May 5th, but we have an ultrasound scheduled next Wednesday to confirm. We're super excited, but I'm also getting more anxious by the day! Congratulations to all the May '16 moms out there!

Your username is awesome. Congrats to you for your IVF success!
I'm Katy, 32, and I live in Canada with my amazing husband, our two sweet dogs, and our two cats. Could not be more excited or happier to be pregnant! This is my first pregnancy -- I am so nervous. I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks 5 days and we saw a heartbeat which was the most perfect thing in the world.
I'm Meghan, 28, from Minneapolis, MN. This will be baby number three in three years for DH (30) and I. We've been married to just over three years. DS1 was two in late June and DS2 was one in late August.
Got my BFP last weekend after a few month of trying and am due in late May. Both of my boys were born nearly 4 weeks early, so I am expecting this LO sometime in early May, though since I have put that in writing I will still be pregnant in mid-June.
Happy and Healthy 9 months to you ladies. I look forward to getting to know you.
Hi everyone! I just found out last week that we are expecting baby #2. My estimated due date is May 30, and I had to wait 3 days before I could post (new member) so I'm a little late to the party but excited to be joining you all!
I'm 30 and my husband is 32. We've been married almost 7 years and have a one and a half year old daughter and a very high energy dog who is so sweet with her. We just started TTC this month and it's still sinking in that I'm actually pregnant. Our first appointment is 3 weeks from today so I'm sure that will make things feel a little more real!
Hi! I'm Katie. I've been lurking and sporadically posting, but it's time I make a formal intro post. DH and I are both 23, will be 24 when this baby gets here. We've been married for 2 years on October 1st, though we've been together for 5. We live in Mississippi. This is our second baby, but our fifth pregnancy. We have a 17 month old DS. We had a CP in 2012, a healthy and easy pregnancy with our DS in 2014, and we've had two more miscarriages this year at around 6 weeks. One on April 10th and the other August 5th. We were supposed to wait a cycle, but that next period just never came and here we are. Oops "> So no EDD for us, more like an estimation based on our dating scan yesterday. From that it looks like I'm 6-7 weeks, so mid May?? All that matters is baby is healthy so far with a strong heartbeat.
Hello, everyone! I'm a second-timer, hopefully here to stay, though it's still early days for me -- I'm due May 31st!
My son was born Feb 2012, and I was a happy member of that BMB, so here I am again... My journey back has been kind of rocky -- after three consecutive losses in as many cycles of trying, we ended up going to an RE and going through IVF/PGS/FET. So, hey, thanks to the PGS, I know I'm Team Blue this time, too; no need to wait for an ultrasound and guessing. I guess that's an upside, right?
Technically, my second beta isn't until tomorrow, but the first one was high enough (173!) that I'm willing to start posting.

Mom of sons "Alpha" (Feb 2012) & "Beta" (May 2016) Pregnant after 4 losses via IVF/FET with daughter "Gamma" (EDD Oct 2, 2019)
Hello! This is my first post on here! I'm Amy, 24 years young. My DH is 27. He has a 7 year old son from a previous relationship. So I have PCOS and was told for the past 11 years that I couldn't have kids of my own. Well I found out on labor day (9/7/15) that I am expecting my first baby! I'm due May 6th, 2016. I'm very excited for this journey into motherhood. I've helped raise my DH boy from about a year and a half old, so it's a bit nerve wracking but also very exciting to get to raise a little one from day one! But I love my DH and our son and it all works out!
@BumpAdmin Please pin this!!! We're trying to avoid repeat threads and this is both a major thread, and has important information to those who are new to this board.
Hi All! I am expecting #3 somewhere around May 26-27. We weren't trying so I wasn't paying exact attention I'm 38, DH is 36 and we have 4 yo DS and DD will be 2 in November.
Hi everyone - I'm expecting my first (EDD May 23 -- 3 days after my birthday!). My husband and I live in Boston and are both 33. We've been trying for over a year and were about to start fertility treatments (IUI) when I found out I was pregnant. Quite a surprise (and a relief)! I've been lurking on the boards for a few days and felt it was time to introduce myself. Looking forward to this adventure!!!
I'm Ashley, 28, from Massachusetts. I found out last week that we were expecting our rainbow baby on May 30th! We had a loss on May 8, 2015. I'm super excited yet super scared. Somehow in my brain though I've convinced myself that this baby will be ok, and that perhaps even this baby will be a way to ease the pain that I will be inevitably feeling on May 8, 2016.
I have a 13 month old at home who keeps me busy and is the absolute love of my life. I'm excited for him to be a big brother. I look forward to going through this journey with you all!
Hello! I got my BFP on the 18th at 13DPO. I had tested two days prior and gotten a bfn, but I double checked anyway and quel surprise! This is my first pregnancy; I'm 4w6d as of today, so due towards the end of the month. I'm 29 and DH is 33. First OB visit is October 19th and time is going s l o w l y.
Other random information: We live in Wisconsin; DH is an elementary school guidance counselor and I work part time in two different libraries (one elementary school, one public). I'm also going for my degree in Web Development, but now that I'm pregnant I'm not sure how my student status is going to pan out. Lots of time to think about it of course, but it's on my mind. We have one furbaby, a big cat named Charlie. Only symptoms I've had so far is some cramping at the start of last week and some on again / off again nausea (sadly tending to show up after I have chocolate... I really hope that trend doesn't continue!).
Hi! I'm Heather and live in Oklahoma with my DH of 3 1/2 years. We're expecting our first baby around May 20th! This was a surprise for us, but we're very excited. So far the symptoms have only been really sore boobs and cramping. My first appointment is October 8th!
Due May 25th ish, still waiting on an exact date. Dh and I have 4 beautiful children, combined. He brought in three, who were adopted. In his last marriage, he had a lot of fertility issues and just couldn't find a reason they couldn't conceive. I have my little girl, from a previous relationship too.
Super excited and blessed to have this little bun in the oven. After my history of loss, we aren't getting crazy yet, but we definitely are very happy that this even happened.
Hi everyone! This is my first post and my first experience on The Bump! I am 4 weeks and 5 days so far. My husband and I already have two little guys who are 9 and 7 but decided that we wanted to add one moremore piece to our puzzle. I've been busy stalking all of your posts to ensure that everything I've been feeling is "normal" and am excited to be joining in on conversation. anticipated due date is may 30 Here's to enjoying this experience together!
Hi! I'm Liza and I'm 29. DH is 31 and we've been married for 10.5 years. This is my third pregnancy, currently at 5w6d. Our daughter, Audrey, will be 5 in a little over a week and we had a loss in March. We're very excited but extremely cautious this time around.
We live in CT. We have been married for 9 years. It feels weird to post about a second pregnancy...it was a surprise. Pretty excited, we have a 2.5 year old (also a big surprise).
It looks I will be due around May 23. My first appointment isn't until October 20th. I keep taking way too many pregnancy tests!
Hey y'all! I've been lurking for a few days, reading and getting encouragement from people with the same symptoms as me
I'm Kelsie, I'm 26 and DH is 25. We've been married for a little over two years and this is our first LO. We decided to start TTC and I was convinced I wasn't preggo the first time trying, but here we are! Estimated due date is May 22. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you all!
