Hey ladies! Happy to see a grad post. I'm currently 11 weeks and all is well so far so we are still cautiously optimistic. Thankfully no spotting or any cause for concern. We saw our little nugget 2 weeks ago and 2 weeks before that. Both times strong heartbeat and measuring exactly on track.

We have not told anyone about this pregnancy and plan on keeping it that way for as long as possible. Wish I could say we are thrilled and so happy but we are still nervous after our two losses. 12 week scan and Harmony test one week from today. #prayingforhealthybaby

I've been lurking and hope there is a bfp on the board soon. Driveby's do not count in my book. Fingers crossed for all of you ladies! And special shoutout to @CarrieandRoy @thistle8677.

Thank you all for your continued prayers.

Hi ladies! Thanks for this @jiligan14! @Goldsgirl9 Congrats and best wishes to you!

I'm 5w1d today and so far so good. I'm still waiting for my first OB appointment, but I feel fine and nothing concerning has happened so I'm cautiously optimistic. I keep having to pee on Wondfos to convince myself that this is real, and it's still real, and no, it wasn't a dream. I also haven't told anyone outside The Bump and my husband, and don't plan to until after the 12wk mark.

FX for more BFPs!

@redheadbride15 congrats. Wishing you H&H 9 months!

Hi everyone! My husband and I tried to conceive for nearly two years and the TTC over 35 board was very supportive, helpful and was always such a relief to talk to people who understood exactly how I was feeling. Actually, I never went on to another board once I got pregnant-I've been a little MIA. Anyway, I am happy to report that I am now 34 weeks pregnant, due November 16! We are cautiously excited...that caution still kind of lingers...but my pregnancy has been great! The baby (we decided not to find out what we're having) is extremely active, especially from 2AM to 5AM! I hope everyone on this board has a short stay, but while you're here, I hope you find the same sense of camaraderie and support that it provided me for so long.

I'm so happy for you, @Goldsgirl9 ! I may not be pregnant, but today marks 7 weeks at Orange Theory, thanks to you! I hope you're feeling good. The second trimester is right around the corner!

I'm glad everyone is doing well. More BFP's, please!

jilligan14 · October 2015

It's so great to hear from everyone!! @2pups - I can't believe you're so close! I remember when you got your BFP!

Let's get some more BFP's here ladies!!

emsmama15 · October 2015

Love hearing the updates!! How do we lure more grads back to our check-in?? Not that @goldsgirl9, @redheadbride15, and @2pups aren't great to hear from!!

redheadbride15 · October 2015

Hmm, maybe we could post on the 1st/2nd/3rd trimester boards? I can handle the 1st trimester! I can also post in the June '16 BMB group.

carrieandr · October 2015

We haven't heard from @rachrobertson. Maybe if I tag her, she'll give us a grad update.

jilligan14 · October 2015

There's also @sonpetitlapin, who I think is due in November?

carrieandr · October 2015

Now I can't remember if Rachrobertson was on this board or TTC after a loss.

KateLouise · October 2015

Hi ladies, we had our baby boy, oliver john, 2 weeks ago.
Labour was induced but very fast, at 10pm was 3cm and given a stretch and sweep, and baby was born at 11.15pm.
All is going well beyond some minor feeding issues which means I'm breastfeeding and then pumping after every feed to top baby up with a bottle, am hoping I'll be able to stop pumping soon.
Hope you are all well

Hi Ladies,
I just joined this board. Posted my intro about a week n half ago. After a MC in first week of August, DH and I started trying again after my first cycle. We have been TTC since April. This last cycle I used the clear blue ovulation kit.
Monday I got a BFP. I quickly scheduled a urine test at my doc office for Tuesday. I got a call back saying it was a weak positive. And to come back Thursday to do another urine test. That morning before the doc test I took a hpt Just to see. I got my darkest line to date and was feeling good. After my doc urine test I got the call back fully expecting a positive. Nope, she said it was negative. I was in shock as I've taken 3 hpt, all BFP. So, after talking with DH I requested blood work. Went in same day and got the call back, "oh sorry, we were wrong, you are pregnant." Talk about a mind F. Anyways. Here I am almost 5 weeks. This time around we have only told two people. I'm just trying to get through each day. I just pray I get past the first trimester. I'm eating healthy, taking my prenatal along with vitamin e, selenium, omega 3 & Progestaid. Progestaid was recommended by my homeopathic chiropractor and I take it 3x a day. Best of luck and positive thinking to you all!

Congrats to all you grad ladies. H&h 9 months (or less depending on your EDD) to you.

redheadbride15 · October 2015

@MellBabyPeeps wow what a whirlwind story! Congrats to you! I hope you'll come hang out with me on the JuneBMB

sonpetitlapin · October 2015

Thank you @jilligan14 I am 37w1d today! I can not believe little one can be here at any time now. Both he and I are doing well which is a relief considering being high risk. I have had issues with my SI Joint which makes it painful to walk and be comfortable. I am just winding down and enjoying these last couple of weeks with just me and the little guy before I have to share him.

emsmama15 · October 2015

Oh my goodness @sonpetitlapin!! I can't believe you're 37 weeks!! Congratulations!! So good to hear from you!

sonpetitlapin · October 2015

@ensmama15 Thank you!! It is so close now!! I am in freak out mode.

MySallyGirl · October 2015

Glad to hear so many happy updates! We had our little girl August 23rd. She is doing really well so far and breastfeeding has been a breeze this time around. Sending you all happy thoughts and wishes. Good luck @sonpetitlapin if you haven't already had that little one!
