Welcome!! It may be a good idea to log on to The Knot and change your screen name that way we can tag you easier  you may have to log out of and into the Bump again after changing it.

Okay thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m new to the Bump and a FTM. I received my BFP at the end of March and my EDD is 12/4.  

I’m super excited but kinda terrified at the same time.  My progesterone levels have been low so I’ve had frequent blood draws with my MDs office and placed on progesterone capsules. 

I live in Chicago with my husband and 2 kitty fur babies. 

Look forward to getting to know you!

shygirl88

Hello. I am new to the Bump also and a FTM. I got the faintest positive on 3/31. My LMP was 3/3 but pos ovulation on 3/31..so I'm due somtime between 12/8-12/12 . We'll see with first ultrasound 4/25. Can't wait for that. I'm super excited and nervous. I work as an L&D nurse so I feel like I'm going to be neurotic throughout this whole time! 
Congratulations to everyone.

Hi, all! Just wanted to introduce myself.  I was a member of these boards ages ago (Funny enough, the "one and done" board! Have signed up for new account, though, since I have a relative who posts around)

Found out l'm expecting a baby with my boyfriend  (I'm a divorced mama to a 12 year old girl, the BF has an almost 7 year old daughter and this is our unexpected first together!). I never assumed I would have another, especially 12 years after my daughter was born.. I'm still in a state of happy shock.   I feel like my first pregnancy was sooooo long ago, I have no idea what I'm doing!  Although oddly enough, I'm already feeling many of the same exact symptoms I did back then.

I went to the DR today (just a nurse visit) to get it confirmed and do some blood work. 
Excitedly nervous to be here, congrats to you all.

Edited to add.... due 12/15!

cgemom

Hello, I have lurked on the bump during my two previous pregnancies. This will be not only my third baby but my third December baby. My DD was born 12/18/12  and DS 12/21/15. This baby is due 12/7. My husband and I are very excited for this new and final addition to our family.

maureenmce

@cgemom How special to have *three* December babies! That's so cool!

alderbaby2

Helo ladies! I am excited to be back on the bump, I am a second time mom and found the comunity very informative and helpful with my first pregnancy. I have a 2.5 year old girl who has more sass than I can handle sometimes. DH and I have been trying for baby number 2 for 10 months and are so grateful for our new addition. I am a SAHM and cant wait to get to know you ladies

mommythlegend

Hello! My EDD is 12/2 by LMP, but I suspect it might be a little further out than that, more like 12/6 but U/S will tell. I have a 6yr old son. Been trying for #2 since his first birthday. ***TW, I had a MMC in 4/16, so I am very anxious, End TW*** My first appt is this TR the 12th.

echo-charlietango

Hello all!

I just got a BFP this morning, and already got it confirmed with my provider. My first appointment is next week to check betas. EDD is December 12. 

** TW ** DH and I were dx Unexplained Infertility until we got a BFP November ‘17. It was followed by MMC (blighted ovum). ** End TW **

I’m more relaxed this time, just hoping that this one sticks. Until then I’ll probably continue avoiding successful mothers here too and maybe chime in on the FTM and/or PGAL threads. 

jenniecasey

Any Canadian mamas-to-be??

echo-charlietango

@PensiveCrayon , we might be a match! Not only are we PCSing to Maxwell in June, but I am also an editor and I like squeezing books out of people

@Knottie98838ef853a2413d we're due date buddies for now, but I expect my date to change to December 14 after the dating ultrasound

@mznikkibabee4 I go in on the 17th to see my Dr for betas. Last year he was checking my progesterone each cycle to confirm ovulation, and we saw a lot of low pg levels. I already have some 200mg progesterone pills handy, but I am forcing myself to not use them so I don't skew any blood tests

kristah2

@jenniecasey yup! I’m a Canada mama!

coco2787

Hi @echo-charlietango!  I remember you from the July 18 BMB, looks like we might have the same due date if yours gets changed to 12/14 FX we both get take home babies this time around  

echo-charlietango

@coco2787 !! Yes! I didn't mention the July 18 BMB because I pretty much left Bump after my D&C. I'm excited that you're here too 

luckycharm324

Hi everyone! 

My husband and I just got married March 24th, and this past weekend we had our BFP.  We wanted to start our family right away and we feel so blessed to have it happening so quickly!  EDD by LMP is 12/13.  I don't go to the doctor until 5/2 (my birthday!) so I'm just trying to relax as much as possible until then. 

Can't wait to get to know everyone!  

coypartyof4

Hey all! Im Kate. I was on the Bump years and years ago with my son ventured back after 7 years. Got a BFP last week. Have noooo clue when my EDD is but I know it will be in the beginning of December! Super nervous about this. Im working fulltime and in school as well! 

PensiveCrayon

@echo-charlietango OMG!!! I was wondering about your name! We’re down at Fort Rucker — MH is a helicopter instructor for the AF. 

orangecrush29

Hello! I'm new here! Got a super faint BFP on Monday and the tests got darker as the days went! My cycles have been so crazy, I think my due date is 12/5...dating U/S is on 4/25!  I have 3 boys ages 10,9, and 2! Can't believe I'm doing this again, I'm feeling a little crazy, hah! We live in the Virginia Beach area . Can't wait to get to know everyone!

echo-charlietango

@PensiveCrayon Awesome! MH misses teaching. He's also AF, but we're on an academic route now so he hasn't flown since last summer. He was an instructor at the Weapons School. Hoping to get him flying again in 2-3 years.

Hi Everyone!
My name is Allison. I'm 23, married to my wonderful 36 year old husband. We have 2 boys already. Bobby is 5 and Kade is 2. I lost 2 babies in 2017 so I'm hoping 2018 will finally be my year to complete our family. I got a positive test yesterday, making my due date Dec. 17.
You don't even understand how happy I am to be here.

am+mommy

Hi! I got a very faint positive on Sunday night, 2 days before missed period. The line gets stronger every test. I tested because my dog has been attached to my hip and DH joked this is why.  The internet guesses my DD as Dec 18th. This will be my 4th baby. I have 3 girls, ages 12, 3 and almost 5 months. I’m a little nervous to be needed so much through my pregnancy. 

krob

Took a test on Monday morning because every glass of white wine I drank tasted terrible. And has only ever happened once before when i was pregnant. EDD is Dec 17 according to the internet. 

This is will be my second as I have a 14 month old son. Not sure what we’ve gotten ourselves into, but here goes...

gracie4400

@krob welcome! I have a 13 month old daughter so I know how you feel!

MDKC14

Peed on a stick last night after multiple negatives. Almost 2 weeks late and both pregnancies before this tested positive first day of my missed period. Weird but whatever. Looks like my due date will fall Dec. 5th which is what my firsts due date was but he came a week and a half early. So we'll see what happens with this one. This will make #3 for me. I have a 3yr DS and 1.5 DD. I'll be 28 when this one comes and I'm thinking we'll be done after this one. But who knows??

PensiveCrayon

@krob My son just turned 15 months yesterday. We’re all in this together!

krob

@PensiveCrayon @gracie4400 I noticed lots of STM’s here and all our babies are around same age. I was on Feb17 before and still talk to many of those ladies. Hopefully this will also be a good resource on how to juggle 2 under 2

Me too, me too! My son was born in Feb 17 too!

Hello Everyone!

Finally able to post! That 72 hour time frame is brutal!

A little bit about me:
I am from Australia. My husband and I have been trying for about 2+ years now and began our IVF journey last year. Our first round was a success with a single embryo implantation. Unfortunately it split and we didnt make it to the viability scans. both times there was no heartbeats. We lost twins and I had to schedule a D&C cause my body didnt recognise the miscarraige. 

Fast forward! We have gone through our first frozen transfer(and 2nd IVF attempt) and it has also worked!
Today I am 6 weeks. 
Our viability scan is scheduled for 7w6d and I am going crazy waiting. 13 more days! I am BEYOND nervous and scared that we are going to have the same outcome as last time. Whether it means no fetus, no heartbeat, or halted growth! the thought of antoher loss TERRIFIES me. 

I think I had a touch of morning sickness....the other morning it was pretty hectic, shaky neausea, dizzy, finally sick, yesterday just quesy all day....today is more normal. Which kinda scares me that something has gone wrong, I remember having a similar day last time...

I know I probably sound ridiculous, but this feels like the safest place I can share my concerns without driving my husband bananas.

Anyone out there with a similar situation? Would love to connect!
Any tips to help not overthinking? Making it through the next 2 weeks! I want to move my scan up so bad, BUT i figured waiting till almost 8 weeks, if we get bad news again itll be more definite. 

Dont get me wrong, so excited to be apart of this group!

morgantu

@nikkimuhree welcome! Congrats on your bpf! Come join us over on the PGAL (pregnant after a loss) thread. We are all in the same boat, girl! The general symptoms and questions threads are great too! Really, everyone is supportive! Just remember, you're pregnant today and there's nothing you can do except hope for the best at this point:) 

nikkimuhree

@morgantu Thanks so much! I just posted in PGAL. And yes, trying to remember that its all completely out of my control at this point!

sheshae

@krob there’s tons of STMs here, my son just turned 16 months. I’m also not sure what I’ve gotten myself into but it’ll be a great journey no matter what
