Damn, this whole BMB is a TTGP unicorn! Every single one of your announcements has infused hope, love, and inspiration into the hearts of many!
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

@reomommy hi, welcome! Just fyi it’s against the rules to post things you’ve peed on on the board. You may want to remove it before an admin does and you get a warning.
Hello ladies! My name is Tanya and my fiance and I are expecting our first child together in June. This is a wonderful surprise. We had been trying for 6 months after an early miscarriage so hoping for a long uneventful 9 months!
Hi June Ladies! My name is Amanda. My husband and I have been married for 9 years and together for 12...we are expecting our 3rd child EDD June 18th. We have a 7 year old son and 4 year old daughter so I feel like we are starting all over again. I have sold/given away all of my baby items. I look forward to getting to know all of you and wish you all a H&H and uneventful pregnancy!
My names Bethany. I'm 34. I have 3 children. I miscarried last yr on Halloween. I got a positive pregnancy test Sept 11th.. bled for a week after that... however hcg has been rising. I had an ultrasound last weds and there was a gestational sac measuring 5wks 0days. I should be further along. I go Oct 22nd for another ultrasound. If this baby sticks and grows. I'll be 7wks 5days at my ultrasound on 10/22. I'm hope it sticks. My ed would be 6/5/19 based on the ultrasound 10/3. My kids are 8(boy) , 6(girl) and 3(boy). I homeschool and my husband and I have been married 9yrs.
Hi! I found out on Friday night that I'm pregnant for the second time (my DD was born in Sept 2015) went to the Dr. on Saturday and had an early scan. We saw a very faint heartbeat. So excited!
Hi ladies! Ive been lurking here for a while (lurking is one of my very best talents) and I finally decided to post. EDD is June1 so I’m about 6 weeks along, this is our first pregnancy. I am 30 and work as a design manager for a construction company and MH is 33 and in the craft beer industry. We have been married for 2 years and have a 4 year old border collie mix. I was somewhat active on the TTC board, although I wish I was better at regularly posting, for about a month and a half until we received devastating news after running some blood work of low ovarian reserve and were referred to a fertility specialist and were told an egg donor was probably going to be our only option. Appointment is not until November (and still have yet to cancel it) and boy were we surprised when the day after we got back from our Iceland vacation when I got a BFP. Im excited to be joining this wonderful group of ladies, however I am still very nervous at this point. Edited because words are hard.
*I’d be terrible at lurking IRL because I’m audibly squealing right now*
@harrierwife yaaaaassssss girl!!!! I’ve been stalking you all weekend because I was convinced you’d turn a test with that chart. I hope this turned your birthday weekend around for you. So so so happy for you. Hugs, I’m going to miss you but thrilled you’re joining the best company in the June BMB. ❤️❤️

DH and I are in our 30's and have this will be #3 for us!
*snip* @lulu1180 - I feel weird posting there, frankly. I haven't had the issues many others have had.
@harrierwife I know that you may not have had the same problems as some others, but you've still been an incredibly supportive part of the board and, as far as I'm concerned, you deserve to post there and you deserve the opportunity for your friends to celebrate you properly.

Hi everyone! I’m new here and am a FTM to be. EDD is June 1st and I couldn’t be more excited. I have been pretty lucky (knock on wood) as my hubby and I got our BFP the first month TTGP. That said, I am 33 (H is 35) and I’ve literally wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember (it just took me a long time to find the right partner to take the journey with). I am a Pediatric speech therapist and I work with lots of little ones and I can’t tell you how many times my clients have said “Why don’t you have kids? You’d be such a wonderful mother”. Welp, I really hope my time has come! I am overjoyed and just trying to appreciate and live in the moment (there is so much to worry about and I could easily drive myself crazy with anxiety). Thanks for having me! I have my first US this Wednesday at 6w4d for dating purposes! Stayed tuned 🤗
Hi everyone! I’m a sahm to girls (4 & 1.5) EDD is 6/23. I love my oldest bmb and figured it I would give it a try with our last pregnancy. I’m 31 dh is 33 and we moved to co 6 years ago from ca.
Hello ladies! I'm cautiously/optimistically introducing myself. I got my BFP on Friday, and line got darker again on Sunday. tw** last month I had a chemical, so I'm hoping this one sticks **end tm. My estimated due date based off LMP will be June 15th (3 days before my bday). I won't see the doc till 8 weeks, so I'll know my official due date then
I have a 14 month old daughter, and I was pretty active in the Aug 17 BMB, and now we migrated to a FB group, which I'm also active on. I live in the Boston area (but an original NYer), I'm an accountant, and have a husky mix which is my 2nd child. DH and I area very excited to extend our family, yet nervous with the close age (around 22 months), hopefully we didn't jump the gun...
Looking forward to this incredible journey with everyone! Once everyone's dates start settling in, I'll be happy to take over a thread .
Hi Ladies! I'm also cautiously and optimistically introducing myself here. I just got my positive test last night and this will be our second little one. ***TW we lost our second baby this past January, but are hopeful that everything will be fine this go round. TW Ended*** I'm so excited and yet nervous. I'm hoping to see darker lines over the next few days and have an initial appt with a docs office tomorrow afternoon!
FTM here! 5 weeks today. Saw the doctor yesterday and confirmed pregnancy and due date between 6/11-6/17. I ovulated late this cycle so we'll narrow down as we get closer.
I'm 34 and my husband is 28 married 6 months October 14. We are so excited! So far, only symptoms are "morning" sickness in the late afternoon and evening, extreme bloating and fatigue. I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis so I'm hoping that the fatigue doesn't get really bad. I've heard with all the pregnancy hormones you an go into remission so I am keeping my fingers crossed!
Glad to be here! Congratulations to everyone and looking forward to the journey!
Hi guys! I'm a New Zealander living in Australia. My husband and I have been married almost 8 years and decided to start trying for baby times last November. A few too many work trips meant that we only got our exciting news 3 weeks ago and now I'm 7 weeks pregnant! So excited. Due 1 June 2019. I've never joined a community like this so it's a little weird for me but I really look forward to getting to know you all and understanding more about the crazy weird things going on! Xx
Hoping to join all of you ladies for the next 9 months! I have one stepson (12) and 3 children (DD 4, DS1 3, and DS2 1). This will be our fourth summer baby (apparently I only get KU in October) with a EDD of 6/17. I am high risk due to past complications but we are optimistic and grateful for the journey even if it will be another tough one. Happy and healthy 9 to all of us!
Hi all! Cautiously intro'ing for now, although I'm not sure how active I will be until things are confirmed to be OK by my OB. I already intro’ed in May, but I might end up here with you lovelies. I'm pregnant with baby #3 (have 2 DS, 4yo and 16mo). My DH and I live in Brooklyn, NY and I work in a Pediatric ER in NYC. EDD by LMP would be 5/27/19, but today’s US had me at 6 weeks exactly by measurements, putting me at a EDD of 6/5/19.
*TW*
I’ve had a bit of a topsy turvy go of things since an an initial +HPT on 14dpo that became negative, but then positive a week later. Long story short, betas have been good, but I’m measuring behind in terms of LMP (by 9-10 days); but there was a measured HR today and this would actually correspond to when I think I O’ed based on temping. So, could be that the fetus has stopped growing OR that my actual ovulation date was later than FF app and LMP would indicate. We shall see in 9 days, having a repeat scan and visit then.
*End TW*
Anyways, I hope I still end up here (or straddling between here and May)! As an aside, I cyberstalked many of you TTGP ladies over the last month and a half since getting my IUD pulled and you all are incredible. I am so thrilled to share in this space with you - it really is an all-star lineup of ladies from that board. H + H 9 months to all!
Hello Ladies, so excited to be apart of this group. My name is Tracy and I am a SAHM to a beautiful 5yr old lil girl named Gracelyn. I also have two step kids that are 20 and 18 but have raised them since they were 9 and 8. I just found out I’m preggo about a week ago, my due date is June 13th which is my hubby’s Dads birthday that is in heaven. My husband and I thought we were done having kids after Gracelyn. We talked about it for the last few years but he felt like he was done. He’s 46 and I’m 35 so he felt like he was too old for another. That kinda went out the window this last few months when I got baby fever again and he also seemed more open to it. We decided to try once and we ended up with a BFP. One try gals!!!! It took me 7 months with Gracelyn so I was totally shocked also a bit nervous after I saw the results. My immediate feeling was “what did we do” since everything has been so easy the last few years. Now we are super excited and can’t wait to be on this journey again.
We just got out positive over the weekend!! EDD is June 17th based on O and our first appointment with our Midwives is November 7th. This is pregnancy 7, baby #5, and our last baby. TW: We've had a miscarriage and an ectopic. We have 3 girls and 1 boy ranging in age from 14 to 2.
DH and I enjoy sports and time with family. He plays hockey and I play volleyball, though not for much longer. I'm a Doula and I babysit and he's a Foreman. We live in Ohio.
I'm so glad to be here and look forward to meeting everyone!!
Heyyy, it's nice to meet you all. I am a SAHM in the midwest and my husband is a local semi truck driver. I'm 24 years old and I'm feeding my almost 5-month-old 27 weeker as I type. My husband and I were trying for baby #2 after our somewhat traumatic birth experience but we're surprised that it happened so soon. We couldn't be happier and are beyond grateful that it didn't take as long as our first TTC journey. I'm hoping that I get to stay on this BMB until the very end and wishing the same for everyone else. EDD is June 6th.
Hi everyone! This is my first time posting to The Bump, so please forgive me for any tech issues, while I get my bearings!
I'm 34, this is my first pregnancy, and my due date is June 8. My wife and I have been married since May of 2017, and we conceived through IVF (I was diagnosed with DOR so our RE moved us straight to IVF) using donor sperm. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, but this will be our first child! My first ultrasound is scheduled for the 24th.
I'm super nervous about everything... given my age (I'll be considered "advanced maternal age" when I deliver at 35), my fertility issues, family history of GD & high blood pressure, and the fact that my BMI classifies me as obese, I'm a bit of a nervous nelly right now! I've had 3 betas, and my results seem to be pretty good (did not quite double in the first 48 hours, but by the third test my average doubling rate was 42 hours), but I know I won't be able to relax until I get to the second trimester. I'm super grateful I'm even in a position to have these worries, though!
Hi everyone! I’ve hesitated to join in here, the acronyms are a little overwhelming.. 😂 I live in Brooklyn, NY with my husband (we’ve been together since high school, so over a decade) and this is our first time expecting! I work in the corporate world & teach yoga on the side, so I’m excited to practice yoga throughout my pregnancy.
I got my first positive test result on 10/2, right at 4 weeks. Despite the 6/6 positive tests and ongoing symptoms, I’m still having a hard time believing this is real or getting attached to the idea until my first dr. appt on 10/22. I’m trying my best to be present and enjoy every step of this process, even as there’s a constant worry lingering in the back of my head. I’m sure many of you feel the same, just trying to remind myself that whatever happens is meant to be.
Happy to be here with you all and wishing everyone healthy babies & pregnancies 💗
Hi everyone! My name is Jess and this will be my first! Hubby and I are both 30. We live in Maryland with our pocket lab mix, Buddy. EDD is 6/14. I got my BFP exactly a week ago and it still doesn’t seem real. @tc_nyc what you said really resonated with me - I’ve taken 6 positive tests as well and had symptoms and I still am having trouble believing it! I’ve had a lot of anxiety in the past week about this and work stuff, and I’m trying to just relax, take care of myself, and think positively.
I’m happy to be here and looking forward to connecting with you all!
This is my 4th pregnancy and hopefully my second child. DH and I are in our 30s and have been married for 2.5 years but together 5.5 years.
Not too sure on EDD because I didn't have a full period after having my daughter. But my doctor thinks I'm about 6 weeks along and likely June 4th. Ultrasound is on the 23rd to date.
DD is 9 months old, so this happened a bit faster than I anticipated. It feels weird to be saying STM. **TW** prior to DD we had a MC at 7 weeks and a MMC at 12 weeks. So I'm still holding my breath **end TW**
I became close to my Jan18 BMB and still participate daily in our Facebook group. I kinda feel like I'm cheating on them right now but I'm excited to get to know you ladies.

I’ve had a bit of a topsy turvy go of things since an an initial +HPT on 14dpo that became negative, but then positive a week later. Long story short, betas have been good, but I’m measuring behind in terms of LMP (by 9-10 days); but there was a measured HR today and this would actually correspond to when I think I O’ed based on temping. So, could be that the fetus has stopped growing OR that my actual ovulation date was later than FF app and LMP would indicate. We shall see in 9 days, having a repeat scan and visit then.

We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, but this will be our first child! My first ultrasound is scheduled for the 24th.
I'm super nervous about everything... given my age (I'll be considered "advanced maternal age" when I deliver at 35), my fertility issues, family history of GD & high blood pressure, and the fact that my BMI classifies me as obese, I'm a bit of a nervous nelly right now! I've had 3 betas, and my results seem to be pretty good (did not quite double in the first 48 hours, but by the third test my average doubling rate was 42 hours), but I know I won't be able to relax until I get to the second trimester. I'm super grateful I'm even in a position to have these worries, though!
I got my first positive test result on 10/2, right at 4 weeks. Despite the 6/6 positive tests and ongoing symptoms, I’m still having a hard time believing this is real or getting attached to the idea until my first dr. appt on 10/22. I’m trying my best to be present and enjoy every step of this process, even as there’s a constant worry lingering in the back of my head. I’m sure many of you feel the same, just trying to remind myself that whatever happens is meant to be.
Happy to be here with you all and wishing everyone healthy babies & pregnancies 💗
I’m happy to be here and looking forward to connecting with you all!
This is my 4th pregnancy and hopefully my second child. DH and I are in our 30s and have been married for 2.5 years but together 5.5 years.
Not too sure on EDD because I didn't have a full period after having my daughter. But my doctor thinks I'm about 6 weeks along and likely June 4th. Ultrasound is on the 23rd to date.
DD is 9 months old, so this happened a bit faster than I anticipated. It feels weird to be saying STM. **TW** prior to DD we had a MC at 7 weeks and a MMC at 12 weeks. So I'm still holding my breath **end TW**
I became close to my Jan18 BMB and still participate daily in our Facebook group. I kinda feel like I'm cheating on them right now but I'm excited to get to know you ladies.
Congratulations to everyone!
