    Hey y'all. My name is Ashley and I really suck at talking about myself so I'm just going to list some things in chronological order : ) 

    * I'm 30 years old.
    * This is my second pregnancy. (My daughter was born in 2009)
    * Sept. 2010, I had the birth control implant Implanon / Nexplanon. 
    * May 2014, I had gastric bypass surgery. 
    * Sept. 11, 2015, I had my Nexplanon removed and started TTC. 
    * Nov. 30, 2015 we found out that I was pregnant! (Pretty sure we actually conceived on Nov. 16, 2015)
    * First apt with the doctor is Jan 4, 2016 
    * EDD is Aug 11, 2016 

    I'm looking forward to connecting with Mama-to-be's August 2016!

    I am pg with #3!  EDD 8/23. 

    DH and I have two little girls (4 and 2 years).  I am nervous about adding a third LO to our family, but I know it will be amazing to see our girls love another sibling.  Even though it has only been 2.5 years since my last one, I feel like I am forgetting a lot about being pg and having a newborn.

    Hello! My name is Laura, I'm from Kansas, I'm 26 years old my husband is 27, and I found out I was pregnant about a week ago, which makes me 5 weeks along. My estimated due date is August 13. Unfortunately, my doctor's appointment isn't until January 13, so it's little frustrating having to wait so long! This is our first pregnancy, and we're both over the moon about it!

    Hi I'm 32, FTM. We had been seeing an RE and had two failed rounds of IUI. We took a break from treatments for November and spent 10 days in Italy around thanksgiving- which is apparently when we conceived! We had an IVF consult 2 days before I decided to take a pregnancy test. And bam! What a surprise. The due date calculator says were due August 19th. I had a blood test Friday and Monday and numbers came back good, another blood test Thursday and then they will schedule an ultrasound 10 days later before transferring me to a regular OB. Gal to everyone!

    Hello! I'm Shannon and I got my BFP last week. I'm 4w2d now and this will be my first. I had a chemical in March our first month trying and then nothing. We had been consulting with the fertility doc, but conceived naturally. My EDD is August 22nd.

    Hi all! We got our BFP on Sunday but I've been in a state of shock since, it's finally settling in that we are gonna have another baby! I have one DD who is almost 14 months so she will be 22 months when LO is born. I was on October 14 board but not active. Last pregnancy I felt scared out of my mind the entire time but this time I'm embracing it! Is it too early to bring out the maternity pants?

    Hi all :)
    I had previously joined the July group- my due date based on my last period was July 27th- but my ultra sound this morning put me a week later at August 3rd!
    I'm 31 and this is my second baby. I have a 17m old little boy, who will be just turning two when the new baby arrives. I'm a teacher, but decided to not return to work after my mat leave ended.
    Cheers to a happy and healthy 9m everyone!!!!

    HI, 

    I'm Amy, I'm 30 and my hubby is 29, from Seattle! This is our first pregnancy, with our EDD being around 18th August! We've been TTC for awhile now, so are very excited and nervous! We had a chemical MC last month and I am spotting on and off now, so feeling anxious! We have our first scan next week, just to make sure everything is OK! I'm 5 weeks today and we found out last week!

    Hi everyone! DH and I have been married for 6 years and we have a 2.5 year old son. I was really shocked with this BFP bc I thought we missed the opportunity. I possibly O'd a week later than expected and didn't continue DTD. I am about 5 weeks along according to O with an EDD of 8/17.

    Hi girls! I got my BFP yesterday. I know when I ovulated so I'm thinking it's going to be August 24 as my EDD. I have a beautiful 3 year old daughter who I love so much and I'm hoping she'll love being a big sister. DH and I had been trying for 6 months. I am 32 and this will be our last baby.

    Hi everyone!  My name is Julie.  I'm 32 and expecting my second child.  Our son just turned 3 earlier this month.  We've been TTC our second for about 18 months.  After 2 months of clomid, our doctor told us that he didn't think I was ovulating and I scheduled an appointment with a RE for mid-January.  Needless to say, I was crushed and had definitely given up hope for this month.  We were pretty surprised to get a BFP last week!!  I guess I ovulated later than we expected.  I had my first u/s yesterday, but we were only able to see the yolk sac - no heart beat.  I'm trying not to worry because it is still very early.  I have another u/s next week - hoping to hear the heart beat then. 

    I didn't participate in any message boards the first time around, but I'm excited to try it out this time.  Looking forward to sharing this experience with all of you.

    Hi ladies!

    I'm pregnant with my first, EDD August 20 based off of my ovulation date. I'm currently 4w4days. I'm soooo excited!! My LP had been 9 days for my previous cycles so I was beginning to think I wouldn't be able to get pregnant naturally. I had amenorrhea for 4 months after stopping the pill too, so I'm thrilled that despite all of this I'm pregnant. My mom passed away a couple months ago so I like to think she sent me this little bean from heaven :-)

    My first beta at 11dpo was 31, and at 14dpo it was 224, so I'm so happy about that. My progesterone was low so I started on progesterone (vaginal suppositories) and it doubled my progesterone level, thank gosh!

    My first appt is dec 29. I'll barely be 6w3d so I'm hoping we can hear the Hb then!

    Glad to "meet" you all and be in the same boat! Right now I hardly have any symptoms, only sleepiness and decreased appetite. Other than that nothing! Not even sore breasts. But I guess everyone is different!

    Hello and congratulations to all the mommies out there! Super excited to share this journey with everyone!

    Got my BFP last week - best early Christmas present ever. I'm 30 and DH is 29. Based on LMP, EDD is 8/22 (due just between our birthdays) and this will be our second baby. Our daughter is almost 14 months. She was a breech baby so I had a c-section. Currently having mixed feelings regarding VBAC or repeat c-section. We live in AZ so I'm a little nervous about the excessive heat during my third trimester.

    Ashley from Chicago suburbs. My first baby girl was Jan 12 second baby girl is may 13 and now this final baby due 8/22. My husband and I are both 30. Did the bump with my first and have a great group of girls who are still connected and met several from all over the us. Didn't do it with my second because honestly I was very busy. Now my two are more independent and I'm ready to make some connections with new mommies.

    Hello!! My name is Audra and I am from Cincinnati Ohio. We have been going through the fertility process for 18 months and finally got our first BFP this week! My blood work came back strong so we are super excited to finally be pregnant with our 1st. We are due August 14th, or at least that's what the app tells me.

    Hey moms-to-be-

    I am 30, DH 33.  This will be our 2nd baby, we have a little girl born June 2014.  We pulled the goalie (Mirena) on November 13, had a period November 15, and pulled a BFP on 12/14.   EDD based of LMP- August 21, 2015.

    We live in North East Texas, have been married for 3 years this month.  We both work FT, and I will continue to do so after this child is born as well.  I plan to run through this pregnancy as I did my last one, and I am super excited to have another group of women to talk to about pregnancy!

    ETA: Details...

    Hi All!  My name is Claire.  My husband and I were TTC for 8 months.  I just got a positive pregnancy test 2 days before my 30th birthday.  Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to ME!

    First appointment with OB set for early January.  Est. Due Date is August 22nd.

    Few questions...how do I get through my 30th birthday party without drinking?  Any sneaky tips?  Also, I am worried about spilling the beans during the holidays.  I really don't want to tell anyone (my husband knows) until after our first appt!

    Hi ladies, DH and I just got our first BFP this past week and due date is end of August. I had been off BC for over a year and my cycles were crazy irregular so I saw an RE at the beginning of this month that did an US and told me I was getting ready to O so we DTD EOD that week and now here we are. Best Xmas present ever!

    So far this pregnancy has been a whirlwind as I had a corpus luteum cyst rupture last weekend which landed me in the hospital over night so that was something new. My hcg level was pretty low when they checked it because it was so early, a week before my AF is even due, so I'm getting another level drawn this Friday. I'm also getting a repeat US Tuesday to check everything out.

    Anyways, hoping for good numbers Friday and to be able to stay here with you all! Happy Holidays everyone

    Hi! This is my second time to the board. I am 32, DH is 33 and we have an 18 mo old son. Mild surprise pregnancy as we were lax with the NFP. I'm due Aug 17th and am very nervous these early weeks and have POS fever to make sure the line is still there. Had a natural Bradley birth with a doula at a birth center for our first baby and hope the same for this one, God willing! I'm also a dentist so I'm happy to answer dental Prego questions:). Thanks for letting me hang out!

    Hi, I'm Megan. Got my BFP on Sunday, with an EDD of 8/24. This is my 2nd kid, I have a DD who's turning 4 in February. My husband and I live in Kentucky, and just decided last month that we weren't one and done after all. Took 18 months to conceive the first time, so we were pretty surprised it happened so quickly! I have my first midwife appointment on 1/11 - had a c-section due to my first being transverse, and am hoping for a VBAC. 

    I'm still active on the BMB for my first kiddo, so here's hoping for another great community!

    Hello everyone. My name is Talya and I am 33 and my DH is 35. We are due with our second August 11. We have a DD who will be 6 next month. I had a CP in early October so I was waiting to post. I am 6 weeks today and had a viability ultrasound last Tuesday. We were able to see the heart beat at that visit and everything looks great! The doctor said 101 beats per min at 5 weeks is wonderful. I have another ultrasound and first prenatal visit in Jan 4. Our DD is so excited to be a big sister!

    Hi, my name is Destiny. I am 23 and my husband is 24. I am pregnant with my first baby and my due date is August 1st! We got our BFP on thanksgiving day. My husband and I are very excited. I had my first prenatal appointment last week and baby seems to be doing well. Got to hear the heartbeat and see a sonogram. Feeling nauseous constantly with upset stomach. No vomiting although I have many smell aversions where I'll gag. Looking forward to some relief in a few weeks.

    Hi everyone, I'm excited to be here! Just found out this morning we are expecting our second little one. Our son just turned two and we have been trying for 8 months. I can't wait to see him be a big brother.

    EDD is 8/23 based on ovulation (found out through charting that I ovulate late). My first pregnancy was easy, so hoping for a similar experience this time! Congrats to all!

    Hi! I found out this morning with a BFP. I am 28 and my husband is 29. I haven't told anyone yet and I plan on telling hubby tomorrow while we are hanging out in a deer stand. ;) This will be our first LO. EDD is August 25th based on my last period. So excited to begin this journey. I'm really still in shock!!

    @smmrsunshine - Is DH going to be at the party? My brother and his wife waited til a family gathering to announce when she was almost 20 weeks (!!!!), and they were swapping drink glasses while no one was looking. She'd have her full one and swap with his empty (or almost empty) one, take fake sips, etc. If there are a lot of people there, no one will even notice! Just don't do shots. ;)

    As far as telling people ... my rule of thumb is, anyone who you wouldn't want to know about a m/c shouldn't find out in the first tri. But if you don't mind family knowing if you potentially had a m/c, then I think it's fine to share the news this early. It's going to be hard for me to keep my mouth shut over Christmas, too! ;)
