Hello! My name is Cristina, I am 30 and DH is 31. I am currently pregnant with our second child, due 07/4/2016! My daughter is three years old and looking forward to having a younger sibling. One thing I noticed that's been very different early on in this pregnancy, is the cramping! With my first it was a stabbing sensation in my stomach for several days that eventually went away. With this one, it was almost a week of intense cramping and burning lower back pain. This one's a whole new ballgame! Look forward to sharing some stories/experiences with all of you!
I'm Jennifer (29) and dh is Scott (31). We just recently got married at the end of June and have been actively ttc since. I got my bfp last Friday and had my first appointment on Tuesday. EDD 7/16/16. This is DH'S first and my second (but this is my rainbow...... my son passed away at 6.5 weeks old almost 4 years ago [sids/suid]).
Hi everyone, I am 37, DH is 41, we have a son who will be 5 yrs old next month who is the love of our lives.
I am hypothyroid and tested positive for MTHFR (I am on Synthroid & Metanx). I have had 2 losses in the last year, the most recent one was at 13 weeks in August due to Trisomy 18. Just got a BFP a few days ago and blood confirmation on Monday. The numbers are not great, I was 15 dpo and Hcg was only 20 and progesterone 8.5, they put me on progesterone supplementation.
I got another blood test yesterday and it rose to only 31, I have to go back again tomorrow to see if it is progressing and if it even a viable pregnancy. I hope I can stick around but to be honest I am not too hopeful, I barely have any symptoms and I usually do very early and I am cramping and I usually turn pregnancy tests a lot earlier...I guess time will tell, waiting sucks, praying for a miracle!
I really hope I can stick around and join you ladies in this journey! I want this baby so badly, Prayers welcome

Good morning! First off, congratulations to everyone!!
My name is Rachel (29), and my H (29) and I are expecting our first! In August we just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. I received my first BFP on Tuesday, and after taking a gazillion more tests and a digital to confirm, it's finally sinking in that I'm pregnant! EDD is July 24. Excited to be here!
Hi All! I'm Alicia, I'm 29, DH is 30, we are from PA and we have a beautiful DD who just turned 2! (Fun fact my DD and I have the same birthday!). During my first pregnancy I just lurked these boards but being that this is baby #2 I figured I'd join in with all of you ladies & participate in our journey together My EDD is 7/16/15 - looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi everyone! My name is Marie and I'm 29 years old. My DH and I have been married for 3 1/2 years and have a 22 month old son. I had a miscarriage in September and am super excited that we were able to get pregnant again so quickly! Hopefully this one sticks! My due date is 7/15. Oh and I also LOVE all things Disney and can't wait to come up with a good way to incorporate Disney World into our pregnancy announcement.
I can't believe I am expecting baby #2. Our son is 15 months. We tried for him for 18 months and after 2 rounds of clomid became pregnant. We never thought #2 would happen so quickly, we stopped preventing in August. I am nervous about having 2 little ones. Sometimes I feel like I can hardly keep up with one I also am kind of sad my son won't be my only baby anymore. I hope that doesn't sound horrible!
DH and I have been together for 13 years. Married for 3.5. We live in ND and are now house shopping. Ekkkk! One LO in our current house has us busting at the seems. Lots of changes coming our way!
Congrats to everyone and wishing you all a happy and healthy pregnancy
My name is Jamie. I'm 30 years old from NJ Got married on 9/16/15 after together 10 years. Just found out on Friday that we're expecting our 1st baby. Our EDD is 7/16/16 (our 11 year dating anniversary).
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here
Hi ladies I'm Baylee , I'm 19 so a young momma. I just found out in pregnant with my little bean just last weekend & just turned 6 weeks today Due date is planned for July 8th.
My name is Erin, I am 29 and this will be my first baby. I'm not very good with all of the abbreviations but I'm hoping to catch on with context clues! We have our first doctors appointment in a few weeks but based on my LMP I think I'm 6 weeks along today and we should be due around July 9.
I'm looking forward to taking this adventure with all of you!
Hello Ladies, My name is Alicia, I am 24 and this is baby number 2. Pregnancy number 3. DH and I have been together 8 years and we have an amazing almost four year old son. We're a super nerdy, gentle family and we are very much excited for this baby.
Pregnancy doesn't agree with me apparently. I have endometriosis and that is just a start. my first pregnanct ended in miscarriage, my second was a long scary road with borderline hyperemesis, displaced ribs, pubic symphasis dysfunction, a bad gallbladder and preterm bleeding. And It's been a very rough go for me so far with this one, and I'm hoping having some other mommas to talk to will help me through.
According to my LPM I should be due about june 22. However, last Saturday I ended out leaving work in severe pain. Three hospitals later I was diagnosed with appendicitis and in emergency surgery. The care I received at the hospital was terrible and I'm having some difficulty coping emotionally. I was offered a D&C before they ever even established my pregnancy was viable. I had a sonographer tell me "It appears this fetus stopped growing about a week ago, there is no heart beat, i'm sorry, this is a hard loss." Then another doctor tell me "oh, it could just be an early pregnancy! You should be fine." It was a terrible emotional roller coaster of not knowing what was going on compounded with horrendous pain. My midwife scheduled me an appointment yesterday with an OB she works closely with AND I SAW BABY'S HEARTBEAT!! It was slow however (only 60's) and they are concerned about development. They moved my due date to July third and I have a few growth scans ahead before I am out of the woods.
I look forward to taking this journey with you lovely ladies and could use any and all good baby vibes I can get, while I attempt to recover from this last week!
Hello! I am 40 and pregnant for the first time after trying for 4 years of 3 iui, and 4 ivf's! I had my first ultra sound on Monday so only 5 weeks, and they saw 1 gestational sac, but too early for hb. I go again 11/23. So nervous, and other than bloated from ivf meds, no new symptoms.
Hi, I'm from NY and did the online due date and it said July 12 (day before my birthday). I have my first appointment November 27th so I'll know the official date then. This is my first child.
Hello! My name is Noemi, according to this app I am due July 3 but won't have my first appointment until the 30th. This is my husband and my first child, we are extremely excited. I can't wait to announce it so I can drill all the women in my family for pregnancy information, because I'm the first of my generation so I'm in the dark, haha
I took four tests that all came back positive too!!!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one!
Hi all! I am 24 and DH is 38. This will be our first child together and we are over the moon ecstatic! I have been off birth control for about 6 months or so and have a family history of multiple complications with pregnancy, so I am considered more of a high risk. We are staying positive and looking forward to our future! The EDD is July 13, which is the day before the birthday of three of my siblings.
Hi everyone! I'll be 39 next month and this is my first pregnancy - 5 weeks and 5 days today. Delighted and terrified all at once! Concerned about my age and all the stuff you keep reading about miscarriages...but hopeful that this will be The One.
First U/S is scheduled for November 24, I'll be a little over 7 weeks at that point. I am not experiencing any symptoms, just sporadic light cramping. The lack of symptoms gets me worried too since while they are unpleasant they can be a consolation that things are progressing... Hope that the first U/S will show us a healthy pregnancy.
I'm Erin, almost 25 yo. DH is 26. We were both San Diego born and raised - still living here but the heat/economy is making us consider relocating. We took a road trip to Colorado and fell in love with the landscape and thunderstorms! So this is most likely where we will end up before baby #2.
We have boxer-shepherd named Shelby who has taken to the pregnancy quite well. Is anything better than puppy cuddles?!
We got married July 15 2012 - ETA is July 5 so this will be a great anniversary gift!
Hey everyone, hubby and I are college sweethearts and have been trying for a little over a year. We got the BFP a few weeks ago and have been keeping it under wraps since then (but I'm dying to announce it and worried I'm gonna slip up somehow). Our due date is July 9th. So excited to be here!!! We go for an ultrasound next week and I'm hoping we'll be able to hear a heartbeat!
I'm 25 and my husband is 26. We've been married 2 years but together for more than 8. This is our first baby! Our EDD is July 10th, so I'm 5w5d. I stopped BC and found out I was pregnant about 3 weeks later! I think I took something in the way of 10 tests- total disbelief. I feel like everything is happening very fast and it's making me very nervous but excited! Super queasy all of the time already and so tired, it's amazing how fast our bodies start changing. I have my first appointment the 19th and I'll be 6w4d! Hoping to have some sort of better validation then, doesn't seem real yet !
Anyway, happy and healthy pregnancies to you all !
I'm 33 and have an EDD of July 15th! We are looking forward to Baby #2. The first is a spunky 4 year old girl who has been telling me that all she's ever wanted is a baby sister. (Thanks a lot, Frozen!)
I can't believe I'm posting here....
I'm 37 as of yesterday and was in an unhappy marriage for many years. Never considered children.
I met a great man last year and got engaged. He just got here on a fiancé visa last month. We are going to Vegas to get married next weekend and planning a big wedding overseas next year. Well...those plans are on hold. Found out I was pregnant on Monday, due 7/21/16. I never in my wildest dreams would have imagined getting pregnant like this at my age. We didn't try, we actually tried NOT to but I didn't realize I was ovulating bc I was so distracted by enjoying my new life with him. We had sex once during the "green" pre ovulation days before I realized.
I felt symptoms long before it occurred to me I could be pregnant. I had a yeast infection for the first time. I even went to the dr for it last week. Nausea, cramping on and off, sleepiness, and major heartburn.
I'm very nervous to fly this week though....
Hi everyone, my name is Michelle. I am 29 and my husband is 30. We are expecting our first 7/9/16 and tried for 8 months. We were starting to get concerned and I did some research and tried Mucinex during ovulation which seemed to do the trick! We actually were away from each other much of October due to work so we were both super shocked! We traveled to Hawaii for vacation and to visit friends the first week of November and that is when we found out we were pregnant. It was the best vacation ever! We currently live in Manhattan, KS but are from Michigan (me) and Chicago (him). I do not have my first dr appt until 12/21 and then another 1/5. Is that odd? Our 2 year anniversary is 1/4:)
My name's Katherine. I am 24 and my DH is 32. We have had 3 MC, 2 chemical, one D&C. I have donated 27 eggs (My donor couple gave birth in September of this year!), so I know my eggs are good; though, that process was hard! I have endometriosis (+ lap 5/14), a retroverted uterus, and have several cases of cysts and PID (my issues all seem to have "started"/been brought to light after my 1st MC in 2011).
We got our BFP two days ago. FF gives July24 as the EDD, but I have my pre-natal work up on Tuesday, so if there's any new information, it'll come then. We're hoping this is our rainbow baby!
I look forward to taking this journey with all of you!

I'm sorry for your losses. I think it's so fantastic that you donated your eggs! We are seriously considering using donor eggs in the future. Our plan was to first do IVF with PGS (preimplantation genetic screening to test for chromosomal abnormalities) but got this BFP first. Like you, I have also had multiple losses. 3 mc but one was twins so four losses. I'm so glad that you got this BFP and I hope that this is your rainbow baby! And how wonderful that you were able to give that couple the gift of being parents.
A little early, but I'm 5 weeks as of today with our second. Husband and I have been together 10 years this December. We have a sweetheart 3 yr/old girl named Evelyn (Evie,) and I learned everything I know about raising her from the August 2012 group, so hopefully I can get some good tips on how to function with a toddler/preschooler and an infant. EDD is 07/16/2015.
We currently live in West Virginia. I am originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, met my husband online, and we lived happily ever after. Except for that one time we moved to Ohio for five years...we're currently renting our Ohio house to a friend and have transferred back to WV to be near family and friends. We're living with family now, but just got pre-approved for a loan and are starting our house hunting search yet again.
Nice to meet you all! I read everything but too much to reply to, so I'll catch you on the flipside at some point
Hi, everyone! I'm Jillian. I'm 27, DH is 29, a FTM, and EDD is July 14, according to LMP. We've been together almost 10 years, and married for 5. Not many symptoms yet, which makes me a little nervous, but I'm trying to just enjoy my nausea-free days before morning sickness kicks in! Also, I teach high school, so I'm a bit anxious about symptom management at work. No such thing as an "easy day" with 100 juniors and seniors to handle!
I guess I will go ahead and introduce myself as I have been stalking the group all week! I got my BFP on Monday and I am 5 weeks today. This will be LO#2 for us but is my 4th pregnancy as I mc twice before LO#1. Needless to say I am still very nervous about another pregnancy and it really does not feel real yet.
Anyway my name is Megan, I am 28 and DH will be 28 in January, We have been married almost 5 years but together for 11. DS will be 2 in January and I was very active on his January 2014 Board!
I look forward to getting to know you all! (Any i most likely need to update my siggy, I will work on that today!)

Hi everyone. I'm Jess and I am currently expecting number seven. I need to update my siggy since the last time I was truly active on here, we've had baby Jonah. Based on my ovulation date, I'm due July 9th.
Mom to Emma, Noah, Isaac, Asa, Asher, Jonah and expecting baby Alice 7/16
Hi all! I'm new here but wanted to join in on this. My husband and I are finally pregnant after 3 years of trying! We did ivf and transferred 2 embryos, hoping at least 1 stays! I'm 28, hubby is 30, and this is our first. We live in the toledo, Ohio area with our 2 dogs and are due 7/17. So excited to finally be pregnant!
Hi! I'm Shannon. I'm 30 and this is my and my husbands first child. We are due July 13th and are so beyond excited, although a little nervous. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
