Hey everyone. Still in shock to be back here! We got a little surprise yesterday after I puked my morning coffee....positive test! This is baby #4 for us. Our youngest is 10months old and I'm still breastfeeding with no period so this was a huge surprise. We also have a 6yr old DS and 3yr old DD and will be married 9yrs this summer. We had so much trouble concieving our first that we thought we wouldn't be having children.....I'm feeling so thankful that we've been given each one of these gifts! Not sure an EDD, I think I'm probably 4-5weeks.
Hi ladies! I got a BFP Thursday. I have some very good friends from my previous BMB so I'm excited to see what relationships pan out here. I'm due around Nov. 17th according to a google due date calendar. LOL.
Hello everyone! My name is Luna. I am an eighth grade teacher, and a first-time mom. My husband and I have been trying for almost a year, and we were excited to get a BFP last Wednesday! All my pregnancy apps on my phone say that I am almost 5 weeks pregnant. We have to wait another three weeks before the OB/GYN will see us. But we are still very excited!
My only symptoms are fatigue and a ravenous appetite. I have pinching cramps in my lower abdomen but they're not that bad at all. In fact i hardly notice them. Everyone tells me that my real symptoms are probably going to start in next couple weeks. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to them?
A little bit about me, I am a big nerd. I love anime, Harry Potter, and I also write. Whenever there is a comicon, l usually either cosplay, or Dress up Lolita fashion. I'm an avid reader, and I am so happy to finally be a part of this community. I've been lurking around the boards for months, and I'm so happy to finally be a part of the community!!
Hi, STM here. EDD is 11/22 based on my lmp and off by a day with O date. I'm just going to wait to see what the dating us puts me at. I had an early mc last month so I'm really nervous right now. Had some labs this morning, Dr called saying my numbers were just at the positive mark. Which is what I would expect because it's pretty early still. Just waiting to see how the numbers increase on my next lab in 48 hours. Shout out to my TTGP ladies!!
Hey ladies! My name is Brittney and I'm from Ocala, Florida. I am pregnant with baby #2. My son Landon is 1 1/2 now. I am super excited. I haven't had my first doctors appointment yet but I have estimated my due date to be November 14th.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Hi everyone. I'm Angie, 33, from MN. I have three little boys, ages 4, 2 1/2 and 12 months. Expecting #4 11/18/17, although my other kids have all been 6-11 days late, so I'd be willing to bet that'll be the story one last time;)
In my last BMB, everyone hated the annoying 4th time mom, so I'm a little intimidated to put it out there;) I think I'm fairly likeable, though, so we'll see.
Howdy! STM from Houston. My little nugget is 14 months old. I just got a positive pregnancy test today! We've been trying for #2 for about 6 months now, so I am super excited but still a little in shock. I should be due around Nov 20th. For all the FTMs out there: this is so much fun and so hard and so worth it all. I'm excited to share this journey with y'all!
@MississippiCatfish looks like we're due date buddies! I feel like I've seen a lot of fourth time moms on this BMB and don't consider them annoying, just helpful. I hope to be one myself one day! Welcome!
Hi Everyone! Super nervous to be joining this board because it's early, but here goes:
EDD: November 23--Thanksgiving!!!
Ages: I am 29 and DH is 31
This is # 1 (**TW** This is my second pregnancy, had CP in December**TW**)
Where are you from? We live in the Southwest part of the United States
About Us: We both work in education and have two dogs, labrador retrievers. We have been together since high school and will be celebrating 14 years together this August.
I am freaking out and excited all at the same times. The line is not dark but not faint. It's only 12DPO and I definitely have cramps and sore boobs. I am so praying for a sticky bean this time.
I was active on the TTGP board and looking forward to meeting new bumpies and learn this board's culture.
@dragonfly87 that's my EDD based on O too! (office will prob stick with my LMP so 11/22 but still exciting to be on the 'exact' timeline as someone!) I was hoping to see you here next!
Hello all! I'm super excited to be here but also very nervous!
EDD: November 20
Ages: I am 31 and DH is 30
I am a FTM and this is my first pregnancy.
Where are you from? We live in the DC metro area.
About Us: I am a teacher and DH is an engineer. We have one furbaby (a cat) that we're more than a little obsessed with.
I was hesitant to post here, but decided to stop worrying so much and let myself get more excited. Also, I'm one of the first in my group of friends to be pregnant so I have absolutely no idea what to expect, and I'm hoping being a part of this community will help me figure some of it out!
I posted on TTGP briefly in Dec.-Jan. but realized between teaching and taking a grad class I had very little time to contribute. I'm hoping as the school year dies down I can be a more active participant on this board.
Got my BFP last Tuesday! I'm a FTM and I'm feeling everything from excited to nervous. Luckily I have an extremely supportive family. Based on my cycle length and estimated date of ovulation, I believe I am 4.5 weeks with an EDD of 11/17.
I am 27 and my DH is just about to turn 28. We are an ethnic blend of Swedish, Azorean/British, Japanese and American/Hungarian, so can't wait to see what our little bub is going to look like!
This will be the first grandbaby on my side of the family, and second for his, so our parents are super excited.
Hi everyone. I'm 5 wks 3 days. This is my 4th baby. My oldest will be 18 on the 14th Nov, my second will be 12 on Jan 6th and my 3rd will be 8 on Nov 14th also. And I am due this little baby on the 12th Nov. So Nov will be a busy month for us. 2018 will be a crazy year for us as we will have a communion, a confirmation and a graduation and now to add to that a christening.
Hi ladies. I'm 5 weeks exactly today and due 11/15. I seriously cannot believe that I am pregnant right now. It took us 4 years to have our son (he will be 3 in May). I had gastric bypass in July 2015 and have lost 170 pounds. I was hoping that just the weight loss would make things easier for us but my PCOS didn't improve. We got lucky on our second cycle of medication, monitoring, and trigger shot. I had the flu during trigger time and I really thought we had no chance! I feel so lucky!
My 2yo is currently being evaluated for autism (high functioning) and I suspect this will be difficult for him, but hopefully we can prepare him for the change and make it go as smoothly as possible. If anyone has any experience in this area, suggestions are welcome!!
It is so nice to know that this group is here. I am an FTM, EDD 11/7/17. I have my first doctor appointment 3/28 and first ultrasound on 4/7. We weren't exactly prepared for this baby. After four years of TTC we thought it just wasn't possible and we were considering our other options. I am a full time grad student, part time pharmacy technician, and I live in Arizona (not ready to be pregrant during 120 degree weather). I'm so excited about this baby, freaked out about the timing, and in awe of the fact that in a mere 9 months I could have this precious little baby relying on me.
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and supporting each other on this journey!
I had a positive test on 3/4 and by LMP my due date will be 11/14. This will be our third child. We have a DD who is 9 and a 6 year old son.
We are both 39 and it took time starting to run out to push us toward making our decision on having a third child. We have been trying for a year **TW- and have had 2 early losses during that time. **TW
We are cautiously optimistic, and will be thrilled to get to tell our kids they will be a big sister (again) and big brother . Excited to get to hang out with here with you ladies.

@jka427 it's a lot to deal with but if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. My son was Dx with autism just before he turned 3. He's now in kindergarten (yikes!)
~Mom to an amazing Jan 2011 boy~ ~EDD Nov 18, 2017 with my IUI success story~
@jka427 HI! Glad you're here! My son was DX high functioning autistic at age 3.5 and is now almost done with his first year of school. The transition from only child for him was not as difficult as I expected! With a lot of help from his teachers, paras, and therapists he is doing SO well. Please let me know if you have any questions (I have become quite the master at IEP'S and PPT meetings ) or need someone to talk to!
@LadyMeowMeow My wife and I are also very obsessed with our pets. They are part of our family, and my heart breaks a little bit for them knowing how much their world is going to change once Baby arrives! I'm so lame!
Hello everyone! My wife and I expecting our little Squishy 11/11/17! She is carrying, and we are currently 5w4d! We have a 5 1/2 year old daughter named Ella who is the epitome of sass, and a 1 year old Canadian Sphynx named Rosie who will probably be hella pissed that she won't be the baby anymore! Haha!
But I am super excited to meet all of you and watch the bumps grow!
Hi everyone. I got my BFP a couple days ago! Due date is set at November 21st for now. I'm 31 and this will be my second. I have a DD who is just about three. I had so much fun with my birth month club for my daughter and I'm looking forward to this journey again. Thanks for having me!
Hello everyone! I'm very excited about this little peanut! I will be a FTWSTM, my rainbow DD will be 3 in a few days. My EED based on LMP is November 10th.

Hello Ladies by my calculation im 5 weeks, a FTM, and over 35. I plan on having a water birth with a midwife and doula. Looking forward to sharing this experience with you! Congratulations to you all!
Hi, made it to six weeks and feeling nauseous which I'm hoping is a good sign. I had a loss in December so I was afraid to get my hopes up. First ultrasound is tomorrow. I'm a STM, DD will be 2 in April. Due date Nov 9 based on LMP. Just stopping in to say hi and really hoping this pregnancy will be a good one.
Hi all!! I am Shiane. From Ohio. My second time using TB. I am apart of the Nov15 moms as well! Here's to another Nov baby! My daughter is Elliot. She's 15 months. My EDD is Nov 7th but haven't been to the doctor yet to confirm. Had a super high risk pregnancy before so I am a little scared. Praying for a smoother ride.. Even if it is only because I know what to expect this time around. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi everyone! I am very new to these boards so I'm not sure how much I'll contribute, but given that I've been lurking them every day and finding them interesting/helpful I thought I might as well introduce myself! I'm a FTM at age 34. My DH and I have been together for 14 years but just started TTC over the past year which came with some challenges and disappointments that many of you are all too familiar with. So I've been cautiously optimistic. Got my BFP at 12 DPO and am estimated to be due November 10th. No betas, and have my first appointment April 6th (week 8), though I don't think they'll do an ultra sound until ~week 10. I had some major TWW symptoms - I think I'm pretty sensitive to progesterone effects, but now my only symptoms are sensitive boobs, some intermittent cramping (scary), vivid dreams, and I'm pretty cold (though I do live up north... but I've been colder than normal!). For work I'm a professor in Psychology/Behavior Analysis and I focus on the research side of the field. A lot of people in the applied field specialize in autism and developmental disabilities; based on some of the conversations here and in other discussions some of you who have children with ASD may be familiar with this area. I'm not sure how things will go with my job given that I'll be due in the middle of the semester (and classes are already scheduled), but at this point I'm not going to give it too much thought or stress! Hope everyone is feeling well and I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you more!
Well here I am again, this time on the November 2017 bumpers
group. I am a STM (OMG). I had my baby boy on 11/24/2016 (turkey baby), he is
just shy of four months old.
I took a pregnancy test this same day last year when I had symptoms
and I got a BFP. Well today, I felt like my body was trying to tell me
something so I took a test and I got a BFP. Called my OB and we scheduled an
appointment for next month. As of this moment my EDD is 11/10/2017.
I live in Ventura County, CA. I am super excited because we wanted
our children close in age; we just never imagined it would be this close. I
think we are both feeling all sorts of emotions, we have been texting each
other about it all morning. DH really wants his baby girl and I am just excited
and have no preference. Looking forward to another journey with amazing woman,
can’t wait to get to know you all better J
