@Knottie7070085 please edit your post to remove the picture - it is against TOS to post pictures of your pregnancy tests anywhere other than in the specific thread on the First Tri board.  Mostly because people don't love to look at stuff internet strangers have peed on.  Thanks, and welcome!

Lol understandable. Removed. Sorry!

Hi everyone! I am expecting my 2nd around 6/11. I currently have a 26 month old girl. I am an only child and am absolutely freaking out about having another baby---I'm so afraid of it negatively affected my daughter....how can I possibly love another child like I love her? Will she be sad? What if she hates her sibling? How will I make the time?
i know I'm not the only one to have had these thoughts and fears, but I don't know anyone else that can relate.
Thats my story! Lol Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!

My brother and I are BFF's. I'm having siblings on purpose because I wish I had more as a kid. ❤️

I have three children and I'll tell you that I had each of those same questions after finding out I was pregnant.  That being said, the relationship between my children absolutely wipes all of those fears away.  They may fight, but thy have built-in best friends for life.  

I promise it's possibly to love another child as much as you do you DD. She might be overwhelmed at first and act out, but it's a big adjustment for all.

It will all work itself out, I promise.

Thank you!!! My logically side says of course you are right....and there are millions of 2nd children born everyday this is nothing new. But I think because I'm an only child, I have no concept of siblings and no way to really see and understand now that it will all be ok. My husband, who has a sister, doesn't even understand how I cou

Hello hello ladies
im excited to join the June club, since having my BFP last weekend.  EDD 6/8, which is also my mother's birthday:) 
i currently have a 18 month old, and although I was a semi-quiet member in the April '15, the group in general was supportive and helpful navigating my FTM nerves.  Plus, I made some wonderful friendships.  hope to find the same here 

Elizabethsbp

Hello ladies! My name is Elizabeth, I mostly go by Lizzie. I see I'm late to the board lol. I'm 26 years old, I'll be 27 next month.

My husband and I are newly awaiting my rainbow baby. Our estimated due date is June 12th 2017.

Other than my angel, no other kids. We have two toy poodles who I bet are going to be very jealous! 

My husband is over the moon, and beyond excited for our little bundle of joy to get here. He keeps saying it's twins. I'm terrified, since I lost my daughter. I had an emergency C-section at 28 weeks and had her here with me for 2 weeks. 

Prayers that all goes well with all of our June babies!!

kscheich

Hi there! My name is kelsey and I am 5 weeks today! Estimated due date is June 19th, 2017! BFP came last Friday, 10/14/16. I have a 13 month old son already, so this baby #2 and I am so excited/scared already; I can't wait to tell all my family and friends and have that first ultrasound!

cmjn94

I'm Casey. I found out yesterday! THis is my second. My firstborn is almost 13 months, a boy. My due date by my best estimate is 6/27.

@Elizabethsbp so sorry to hear of your loss but very excited about you rainbow baby! When you are ready come join us on PGAL.

Good Morning Everyone !!! 

I will be expecting my rainbow baby June 3rd. I was so nervous yesterday when I went into the ultrasound room, but was relieved when I heard the strong heartbeat of 134!!!! Congratulations to you all ! 

samyv

Hi Everyone,

I came here from the May 2017 mommy board. My EDD was way off. I'm going through a rough time with a bad doctor experience. I did write about it in the other discussion board and will paste a link to it below rather than retyping the whole thing. The US revealed we are about 5 weeks right now and my EDD is around June 18, 2017. We are hoping to hear the heartbeats next week and hopefully a smoother experience.

Hi, my name is Mikki. I'm 32 and DH is 34. I got my BFP on Oct 10 and am due sometime mid to late June. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. They don't know yet but I know DD will be so excited. 

Uhlease13

Hey everybody! 

Im 29, dh is 31, this is my second pregnancy, first one ended in a MMC and d&c at 11 weeks almost exactly one year ago. 

Got bfp end of September with edd of June 9!! We are nervous and excited and will probably wait til we have two good appts and hear that little heartbeat twice before we share our news with anybody. 

Congrsts and h&h 9 months to you all!

@samyv holy moly!! First, congratulations on your twins!  

So did you have positive tests mid-sept?? And how could you have had hcg so high on 9/26? I'm 5w tomorrow and I wasn't able to even get a positive test until 10/11. I guess I don't really understand how you could only be 5w? 9/26 is around when I conceived...

thank you! I conceived early to mid-September I'm guessing. My first positive test was Sept 26th. I had a blood test and my HCG levels were 3600. On October 14th my levels went up to 24,211. The nurseand radiologist both said the reason they are so high is because there are 2 babies. The radiologist measure the yolk sac and said I was definitely 5 weeks!

Hi ladies! My name is Taylor and I'm due with baby #2 on June 14! I was a part of the board under a different name back before the mass exodus, but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things on here! I'm still in a Facebook group with some of my January 2015 moms and they are amazing. Can't wait to get to know you all!

Hi I have a one year old, Jonathan (sept 15 board). I'm back! My husband and I are expecting another baby EDD 6/15.

@samyv I'm so sorry about that dreadful appointment with that incredibly mean and insensitive doctor! Congrats on your twins though! I hope your new doctor has better bedside manner

Hi all! My name is Marissa and I've been lurking for awhile I live outside of Buffalo, NY. I'm 35 and expecting our rainbow 6/8/17. I got our BFP 10/1, and am over the moon excited but also nervous. I have an 11 y/o daughter from a previous marriage, and I'm a proud dog mom to our pit-boxer mix

Something isn't right with that. It's not the HCG numbers that are weird, it's that you got a positive test on 9/26 and that you are saying you are only 5w.  In order to be 5 weeks right now, you absolutely could not have received a positive test on 9/26 - in order to have a due date of 6/18, your conception date would be about 9/25. I know you have twins which means higher HCG but you cannot get a positive test on or next to the day you conceived. Your body does not even register HCG at that point, twins or not. I would so beyond frustrated with your OB. I hope you secure a new one very soon. When is your next appointment? I will be thinking of you!

Woah @samyv sorry you're going through this, but something is way off.  I had a 5 day FET done on 9/26 (so a fake conception date of 9/21) and I'm 6w today!  No way did you get a BFP that same day I had a transfer and you're a week behind me (especially with a beta of 3,600 on that 9/26).  Even by twin HCG beta standards that would be on the high side for being 4w.  Yes the HCG being high makes sense given twins, but 5w can't be correct.  Definitely run (do no walk) to a new OB!

MrsV16

Good Afternoon! I am 25 and DH is 26. We just got our first ever BFP yesterday (and of course I had to double check with second or third test). We are so excited! My own estimate of the due date is June 20, 2017.

I called my doctor's office this morning to schedule my appointment and am now kind of bummed. They won't see me until 10-12 weeks. This means our first appt and ultrasound will be the week after Thanksgiving. We were hoping to share the news with family members over the holiday, but I wish we would have the assurance of that first appointment.

Hello Everyone ! 
I'm Kas- I am not "new" to TB - I used to spend a lot of time here in the past I have not been active however for years, I was here in 2010 while I was pregnant with my 6 year old daughter ~M~ I am technically the ex -step mother to my 9 yr old ~P~  (M&P are half siblings) we are still very present in his life though. Their father is a different story. I spent 3 years in TTGP, trying to concieve a 2nd after ~M~ ... 2IF was very real for me and heartbreaking. I split from my then husband..and have been a single parent for almost 3 years now. I had become ok with the fact I wouldnt be having anymore children. 

and THEN ... my June Sprout came along ... I guess the universe decided I wasn't done just yet. I definitely have mixed feelings but over all, I am cautiously excited and optimistic. It's still early and I'm just enjoying daily.

Glad to be here with you all and Congrats!!

POS/BFP: 10/9/16 +++
1st U/S  10/13/16 - too early 
2nd U/S 10/24/16 Fingers crossed for that heartbeat
EDD as of right now - June 12th 2017

CandyMatte

It feels great to be back! I am 31 and DH is 34. We have two boys ages 4 and 7. EDD 6/25/17. 

Took clomid one cycle (Feb 2016) that never produced an ovulation. Changed my diet and started exercising and ended up losing 45lbs.  I started ovulating regularly all on my own and then got my BFP  

Happy to be here!

Thanks @JAGinMI and @Elyse1384. I definitely think the same thing too. I'm a complete mess and come in to work just for something do and have the time pass quicker. I'm supposed to go in for another ultrasound next Friday. I'm also on the Progesterone 200mg suppositories. So i'm hoping that's helping. But i have all these awful thoughts and I'm not sure what to think. All I can do is hope for the best.

I'm just waiting for the next US appointment to be over (and hopefully positive and then I will be looking for a new doctor). Btw, today I called to get the referal for the US and they told me I don't need to come in till nov 14th!! Wouldn't you think since my situation is so strange that I should be going in at least every week? I also asked if I should get another blood test to see if my blood levels went up and the receptionist brushed it off!! this is all so much

Yeah that's not right.  You have confirmed twins and U/S dating that nowhere near aligns with your BFP date w/ confirmed HCG draws.  Definitely push them harder for an appointment or get a second opinion!  Some states have drop in clinics that offer monitoring for pregnant women if you don't want to make the leap yet at your current practice (although I would recommend it).

I'm just waiting for the next US to be over (i need the referral) and then I'm out! I've already found another doctor.

JAGinMI

@samyv I am so glad to hear that you already have a new doctor as soon as you get the referral! Is there any way to make that referral happen now?? I totally agree with you and @Elyse1384 that they should have you in there way before 11/14 when so many things haven't been adding up. I would keep pushing them.

Hi ladies! My name is Ally I just got my bfp today! I'm thinking due date is around late June. This was quite the "oops" baby but I'm already strarting to get excited. My first son was born October 9 of last year. He was a 32 weeker so that's something I'm gonna be concerned about with this pregnancy as well. I lurked on November '15 board last time but hope to be more active this time. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.
