Hi everyone. I'm Michelle and a lurker but figured it's time to come out and introduce myself. I was thrown off guard during our ultrasound to see 2 littles and hear 2 heartbeats after having a couple MCs this year. I'm 34 and having the worst nausea/vomiting ever in life it seems. My perfect partner has been the greatest through it all. EDD 3/17... so here's to my little leprechauns.
Hi! I'm Beth, and I am finally able to post! I've been on the 72 hr waiting period for the community boards before I could post, and it's been killing me! My heavy-duty lurking is now at an end.
My EDD is March 27, and I am currently 9wks 2days. I am a FTM and my DH and I are so happy! We haven't had our first doctor's appt yet, still waiting to get our health insurance sorted out... But, I am so excited to be a part of the Bumpie community!
(Edited because the mobile app cut half of my post off)
@pregobeth Did you maybe use an emoji from your phone? If you do, everything from that point on gets cut off. You have to use just the ones TB provides. You can do some the old : ) way, choose from the drop down with the icon above the text box or try out things like : cookie : but without the spaces between the word and the colon. Welcome!

@npcat, That's awesome! It's so nice to meet people that are going through the same things! I don't know anyone in my area that is pregnant, or even with small kids, so I've been feeling pretty isolated. I love this community!
@kiki75, Thank you! I had no idea what was going on! I switched to my computer after that. I was afraid to use my phone again for fear of losing everything on my posts.
Hello and congrats to everyone! So excited to have found this birth month board. My husband and I live in Northern CA, and have two children (ds is 5 yrs old, dd is 3). We're expecting our third, and last, baby on 3/14/18. I used to work in Human Resources, but have enjoyed being a sahm since my oldest was born. I'm 36, technically of "advanced maternal age" this time around, so it's a bit of a different experience. I'm looking forward to getting to know the ladies in this group, and sharing the ups and downs (nausea, anyone?) of this journey together!
Hi everyone!! Congrats to everybody on their pregnancies!
STM here, my first will turn 3 just a couple of weeks before my due date. PGAL as well, had a very complicated partial molar last year so I've been very hesitant to introduce myself, but I've seen the healthy baby on ultrasound twice now! Woo! Doing a terribly crappy job momming a toddler right now with how sick I've been. I'm sure you all can relate. Also I'm a stay at home mom with waaaay too many animals. Looking forward to chatting with you guys
Hello everyone! I'm a FTM due 3/22. Although, my cycles are longer than average, so baby is measuring 4 days behind. Anyway, my DH and I are so excited to become parents. I am 29 years old, and my DH is eight years my senior. So, we are so ready for this baby. My husband and I have been TTC for over 5 years. Despite all the fertility treatments, it happened when we least expected it with very little medication. I was traveling for work away from home and only came home one weekend for a day when it happened. We had just celebrated our 6 year anniversary the week before we got our BFP. I was very doubtful that I was pregnant even though I had the symptoms. I thought my period just got skipped, and I am still in awe that it is happening. However, so far I have had 3 ultrasounds (fertility centers really monitor their patients) and baby had a very strong heart beat! This week, I get my 12 week ultrasound! Overall, I am ready and can't wait to hold my healthy baby. I'm glad that there is a community I can share with. Congratulations to everyone else on your pregnancies. Thank you for letting me be apart of this group.
@HappyMonkey817 that's awesome!! Do you know what you're having yet? We're hoping for another girl so we can finally use the rest of the girl clothes we went overboard on buying. Lol

Hi everyone, I'm Marina. Second time mom here and due march 22nd with this one. My son is an august 2015 toddler and just started school. Nice to meet you all
Hey everyone! Im pretty new to this, but i wanted to sah that i am 17 in high school, and my due date is March 27! I didnt know much about pregnancy until now
Hey y'all! This will be my first born however I have two step children that I consider my own. I work at an independent insurance agency and the boyfriend works full time in a parts department for a forklift servicing company. I brought 4 dogs into our relationship
so happy to be done lurking! I'm a Canadian mom over here (Ontario). We are currently expecting our 3&4 (twins?! JFC). Our last daughter passed away unexpectedly @ 8 days in July of 2016 and we found out we were pregnant again on her birthday. Excited to be a part of the group!
@HappyMonkey817@DDRRT1982 thanks guys. As long as we make the good days outweigh the bad days, we are doing just fine. We are just focusing on putting everything we've got into making sure these 2 are okay and advocating for any extra tests we can.
Hi everyone! Thought I'd officially introduce myself... I've been lurking around for a while now Anyway, I'm currently 16 weeks 2 days. My EDD is March 1st I'm so excited to be pregnant (a little less excited for all the symptoms). This is my 1st pregnancy and took my husband and I nearly 7 years for this to happen naturally. I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago and was told it be hard for us to conceive without fertility drugs. But! God had a different plan for us. This last year my PCOS cleared up and I made some personal changes in my career by leaving a highly demanding and extremely stressful job. 1 month after quiting my job we became pregnant. Crazy how I thought this would never happen and when I least expected it I became pregnant. A true blessing!
1st trimester was tough with the cramping and gas in the beginning to the 24 hour nausea vomiting and food aversion. Let's not forget the need to want to sleep all day everyday. Or the tinkling myself as I hug the toilet and vomit. How embarrassing! ( I'll be real. Whenever I sneeze and have to pee you better bet I tinkled )
2nd trimester the groin, hip, butt and lower back constant achy pain is driving me insane. Nothing helps and I just have to power through it. Round ligament is a real thing and it's not fun!
But, it's all worth it! Bringing my first and possibly only little one in this world is the best feeling ever. Thanks for taking the time to read through my novel of an introduction and congratulations to all of you expecting.
Hello everyone! I was in the January board last year! I should be in the march board this time around, but im having b/g twins and the mfm doctor said they wont let me go past 37 weeks and that will be February. So i decided to go ahead and post here so i can be in the multiple discussions.
I will re-introduce myself since I haven't been around since July 31st. After posting for about a month I turned lurker due to a hectic work schedule and just generally being overwhelmed. Since last posting my due date was changed to March 12 and we are having a little girl! My apologies for ghosting the first time around
@momma6angels11 Welcome! FWIW I'm technically due in mid March but in all likelihood will actually be February too (also because of twins). I was already used to hanging out in this BMB when I found out and it honestly didn't even occur to me to leave here and join February. We have a good group here. Check out the MoM thread if you haven't already--we could use more regular posters there!
Hello everyone! This is my first time here! I am a mother of 3 and number 4 due 3/28! It's a boy and so far so good! Happy to be here! I have my first ultrasound tomorrow!
Hi everyone, wanted to officially introduce myself. STM due 3/22. ive been lurking here for a few weeks but now that life has calmed down a bit & moving out of 1st trimester, figured it was time to introduce myself! Excited to be here & nice to meet you all!
Baby #4 due March 31st... I got my panorama results back and it's a GIRL! I have 3 boys already ages 2, 4 and 11 so we are beyond happy to get our girl! ❤️
Well, I suppose I've done enough lurking. I've been hesitant to participate because early January I had a miscarriage. Ten years before that, I lost my daughter at 27w. With this 3rd pregnancy, I'm hoping that I can get to that finish line and hold my baby. With all said, I'm considered high risk. I'm due 3/09.
Hey guys! I’m heather Wilson! I’m 25 years old. I have a 3.5 year old son, and am currently pregnant with identical twins I am due March 22, and am definitely nervous for this adventure! Congrats to you all!
Hi everyone, I decided to finally leave my comfort zone over on the infertility boards and head into the March club since I'm 17 weeks now. Due date is 3/7. FTM, 34 years old, so i'm trying to find the balance between overly crazy and too laid back
*TW* me 34 | him 37 | married 6/6/15
• September 2016 - TI #1 | 100mg Clomid w/ injections, BFP | 6w4d: Ectopic surgery, removed left tube
• December 2016 - TI #2, 100mg Clomid BFP| D&C for missed miscarriage 1/25/17 • April 2017 - TI #3, 100mg Clomid BFP | CP • May/June 2017 - IVF#1 - BFP - Due 3/7/18
Late to the party, it's been about 5 years since I've bumped but here I am. We got a surprise BFP in June are are due with #3 on March 1st. Working mom to a 7 & 5 year olds who are mixed on adding a little brother to the crew. DH is a SAHD/disabled vet and I'm now high risk for AMA so we are quite the duo.
I have a tendency to be fashionably late so I suppose TB would be no exception. After 5 years of NTNP, we were super shocked to learn we were expecting. I have PCOS and I thought I had a cyst. But my u/s revealed that I was 14w1d pregnant with my DS. I am now 17w6d and due on March 7th! I have a 5 year old DD who is just so excited to be a big sister. I am an accountant and DH is a mechanic and it's just so surreal to be back after a 5 year break!
DS due 03/07/2018 Complete surprise!
DD born 09/17/2012 TTC since November 2008 3 rounds of Clomid = Fail
1 round of injectables + IUI converted to IVF = cancelled
Don't think I posted here...better late than never. FTM 38 yrs old. Due March 7 with a little baby boy We tried to get pregnant for a couple of years with no luck. I had endometriosis, removed a couple of cysts that were interfering with my daily life due to pain. A month post surgery, ...1st try and dadaaaa...a baby...finally. We are super excited! First grandkid on my side too!
Long time lurker, first time poster! I'm 28 years old and expecting my first - a baby girl - on March 8! *TW* My husband and I experienced a MMC in September 2016; the physical recovery took months, the mental is still a work in progress. That was followed by a chemical pregnancy in April of this year. The second loss got us access to a team of REs that made the whole process of TTC less soul-sucking than it had been previously, and we got our BFP on July 1. Although my PGAL brain is real, so far all is well with baby girl. I've been diagnosed with early placenta previa, but my doctor is hoping that will resolve before my next ultrasound on 10/24 (my husband believes it's my body's way of telling the baby she's gonna stay in there for 9 whole months whether she likes it or not! ). It's been so reassuring to read all of your posts throughout the last few weeks, and I'm excited to become an actual, active participant in this community.
@ashtuesday Welcome lady. Our stories are pretty similar ****TW**** I experienced a mmc Oct 2016 and a chemical May 2017. *** end tw***** FX for the both of us
@SP128 Thank you for sharing - I am so sorry about your losses, and am so, so happy to see that we can both be here now!!! Fingers double, triple, quadruple crossed!
@SP128 I am back in MA now, I couldn't change my name form years ago while DH was active duty. We are currently in Worcester county but originally form south eastern MA. Actually have tickets for today's game but cancelled the sitter when it looked like a rain out now I'm scattering to find someone to do with! Haha. The pain of being a Sox fan never eases.
