Introduce Yourself Here!!

amassol35

Hi! So excited to be here. My EDD is June 26th, Im 5 weeks today. I'm feeling very hopeful but still very nervous after having a miscarriage 3 years ago and a chemical pregnancy in June. This would be my first child and I'm just so excited and ready to be a mom. 😊

Hey everyone...I'm cautiously coming from the TTGP board.  5 weeks 2 days today with great numbers and good ultrasound . We did IVF so they will watch closely!

@battleangel welcome! I have PCOS too and the exact same thing happened to me when I asked my doctor. Except my doctor was an OBGYN! I’m sorry you had such an unhelpful experience from your doctor. It drives me crazy when doctors take one look and believe overweight people are unhealthy.

Hello! Jumping in... I will openly admit I'm much more of a lurker vs super active participant, but I found my old BMB (F'17) to be full of useful information, so wanted to try and participate a bit more this time. I'm 5 weeks, 2 days as of today (based on internet calculators; waiting to see the doctor to confirm everything!). This is baby #2 and I'm shocked at how much I've already seem to have forgotten about pregnancy in what feels like a relatively short amount of time...

Hi! I’m in NC and this is my second pregnancy however I had a MC at week 6 earlier this year. I’m still nervous about this pregnancy but sooo so excited. 

Right now it’s just me, my husband and our dog. We are so ready for a new little human baby to add to our family!

Hi! I am a STM with an EDD of 6/20. 

DH (31) and I (31) have been married for 6 years, together for 8, and we have one DD who turned 2 in August. We live in the Washington DC metro area where we both work as engineers and have two dogs.

Cheers to a healthy and happy 9 months!

I can’t figure out how to tag your username on mobile since it has a space. I was also part of the F17 BMB as was @srscott3! I changed my username for more privacy, but it was purple writer. congrats!

Hello! I'm 4 weeks 6 days with an EDD of June 28th, barely squeaking into the June club. Just married my fella and looks like we brought home a souvenir from our honeymoon trip! I'm so relieved that this pregnancy happened so easily, I have 8 year old twin boys from my first marriage and they were conceived through IVF after 7 years of trying. This is DH's first baby, but he's already been an amazing step-father to the boys. I'm 39, so we figured we should get this party started asap! I'm so excited to be pregnant again, and looking forward to seeing what it's like to grow one human instead of two at a time. 😊

@erin8785 I am also an engineer, and I think we might also share the same first name!

Hello all! I’m a FTM with an EDD of 6/23. We struggled with IF for three years, and this was our 5th embryo transfer after a year of IVF treatments (*TW* three previous ended in CPs and one was a BFN). So I’m in a lot of shock and very nervous. We had our first u/s on Monday (5w1d) and everything looks good so far, so I’m cautiously optimistic.

I’m 35 and DH is 39. We live in NYC with our two cats. I work for a media company and he is a professor. Happy to join you all!

Hello everyone! I am currently 5w5d with our second child. Our due date is 6/22/19! Based on my suspected O day, I’m guessing 6/24, but we shall see. My husband and I already have a sassy 2 year old daughter. We live in Maine with our black lab. I’m a mental health therapist and my husband is an engineer. I have my first ultrasound November 2nd. I am very nervous because my sister had a miscarriage and I don’t have very many symptoms. I keep trying remind myself that I didn’t have very many when I was pregnant with our daughter either.

Hi! I’m straddling June and July here, but as long as you guys are cool with it, I’d like to participate in both. I know some women did that back when I was in July ‘17 a little over a year ago. And especially because I see some familiar faces @KissMeImScottish and @Dcwtada (name changed to be a bit more conspicuous now since the last one was rather obvious, I’ll PM you) Going off of LMP, due date is July 2nd. Currently 4w2d. Have not had anything except two beautiful positive tests. I’m a STM, with one boy who is 16 months old. These babies will be exactly 2 years apart, depending on actual date. I’m really nervous, but very excited and feeling good!

squirttheturtle

Lurking from April and I see you @Dcwtada @KissMeImScottish and @tuxielove93.  Yay more babies!

hiveofpente

Hi! This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have an EDD of June 10th. I have 2 DDs with my DH. Hoping first trimester goes by quickly for all the obvious reasons (MS above all!) and hoping the same for all of you as well!

Hi ladies! I just read thru all of the intros for June '18 before I realized I'm a June '19, which is indicative of how well my brain has been cranking every day these past 2 weeks.

I'm 38, 6 wks, with 12 and 3 year old sons. (Actually the little duder will be 3 on Halloween!) My fiancé (I loathe that word) is 42 or something and we have been trying to squeeze in a baby before we get married next September. *TW* After 2 recent MMC in a row, we are hoping this little babe makes it to June. *ETW*

I was on the forums with my last son-lurking mostly- but could not remember my old screen name (see above comment regarding brainpower-heh) so I rejoined and mostly lurked the TTC board. And now I am here and I am happy.

I had 2 unmedicated births and also attended a birth as my best friend's doula. I love birth. It's the best high I've ever had.

I have insomnia, my boobs hurt, and I'm grumpy. It's great.

I'm such a forum neophyte that I'll probably fuck up and do something stupid. Feel free to correct me so I can be the best bumpie I can be.

Congratulations to all you moms, I look forward to getting to eknow you!

chinablack55

Hi mamas I’m due with my third June 16th 🤗🤗

Dcwtada

@tuxielove93 so excited and happy for you! Having a mini J17 reunion here!

@squirttheturtle I am crazy excited about squirt number 2! I was so happy and fittingly a little jealous (lol) when I saw your announcement!!!! 

katertots17

Hi! I’m due 6/23, well I think, I haven’t been to the doctor yet. This will be my 3rd kid. I have a 5 year old daughter and a 3 year old son. I’m looking forward to my doctor appointment on Monday, so I can stop compulsively taking pregnancy tests. 

squirttheturtle

@Dcwtada I can't believe Tada #4 is coming!   Crazy excited for you! 

blonde_mama

Hi mamas! I’m 26 years old and due June 19th with baby #3💗 I have a 4 year old son and a 2.5 year old daughter. 

My husband and I will be married for 8 years this April. I am a SAHM but I run a very busy photography/videography business on the side! I specialize in all things maternity and baby but I mainly do birth photography💜

I’m excited to be here and to get to know you guys!

mandiedq

Hi, all! I am due June 25. This will be my 3rd. We were not trying, in fact my birth control failed. I am 40. My other two kids (daughters) will be 11 and 9 when this one is born. I am still living in denial, but my pants are getting uncomfortable. 

I live in the western suburbs of Chicago. I work at Wheaton College for the Army ROTC. I also work part time at our church. 

We moved into a new house Sept 1. So, I guess we are just trying to fill it up? DH and I have been married for 16 years. 

Rose&Mike

Hi!!!

My name is Rose, and my DH and I are expecting Baby #4 on 6/9!!! SOO excited as we were trying and with GMA we need to keep on going. We have a son who’s 4 and two daughters 3yo and 12 months. Still nursing the one year old.  I work from home part time so life keeps me busy!!! : ))

I am trying to remain calm and extremely grateful for this blessing. Had an U/S on Tuesday saw the baby’s heartbeat :.)
but we were stopped in our tracks when I got home and noticed spotting. It never happened before so I was/am panicking! Had another U/S on Thursday 10/25 and everything still looked good! Trying to take it easy which is NOO easy feat with 3 LOs and remain positive!!! 

A summer baby would be absolutely amazing and I pray that I get to know all you mommas expecting your little angels 👼🏼!!! Congrats to you all!!!

gopokes35

Hi! I’m 35 and this is my first (& only). It was a complete surprise and totally unplanned so we are still adjusting. 😅 due around 6/22, still a few weeks out from my first OB appt. I’m an attorney, husband is in sales. We have 3 fur kids that are our babies. 

tuxielove93

Hi! @Rose&Mike 
Im still nursing my 16 month old, and am hoping to continue as long as he wants to. Im glad Im not the only one!! If you ever want to talk about it, hmu. I hear tandem nursing and nursing through pregnancy are a bit rare.

Hi girls! First time mom here. I thought I was 4w6d but wound up in the ER today (pain in my right side around my ovary, and women's clinic couldn't get me in today so they sent me to the ER...actually still here,  thank God I have something to pass the time now) and had an accidental ultrasound that says I'm 5w2d, so I think that makes my EDD something like June 26. DH and I had been trying for baby for the last six months, sooooo now it's Go Time, I guess! I'm 34 and an advertising director for a local company, and DH is 30 and a college basketball coach. I've been lurking a few days, and glad to be able to jump in now!

mandiedq

@ki1244 last time I went to the ER with abdominal pain they never figured out what it was and it passed and did not come back. I hope your visit is super uneventful!

ki1244

@mandiedq thanks! So far so good. They ruled out everything but appendicitis, and now just waiting for the doc to clear me on that...

missmar-bear

Hi! I'm Mary! I'm 32 and my husband is 41, this is pregnancy #3, (EDD 6/16) but we haven't had any babies. Since the other 2 losses 7 and 8 years ago I've told myself we aren't having kids and that's ok, but we took a trip for our 5 year wedding anniversary trip and came back pregnant! Surprise! So I've had to do a complete 180 and I'm still reeling. My heart is with this baby 100%, but I am TERRIFIED! I've been reading your stories and it's astounding how similar so many of our stories are! I'm so excited to find this group and looking forward to getting to know you all more!

hannahkate86

Hey everyone. I'm Hannah and my husband Ben and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 3 years. We finally got our good news earlier this month and our current EDD is June 14th. Our first ultrasound is Monday  This will be our first baby. We have a dog currently that we hope will hope will be a good big brother and not too jealous. I'm really hoping this all goes smoothly.

emeraldcity603

@hannahkate86, my birthday is June 14th. 😊

canuckbaby

Hi Everyone
I am 34 and a first time mom to be. As an older mom I was not expecting to get pregnant so fast *stopped the pill in August last period the end of August and whammo 8 weeks 6 days preggers according to my first ultrasound yesterday. I just scrolled through posts and have NO idea what a lot of abbreviations are lol. We have been talking about having a baby since last christmas but due to some pre planned travel it wasnt doable until now. Have a long list of baby names we have been batting around and an even longer list of questions! Cant wait to utilize these forums.

MomaPetey630

Hello, I am a mom to two boys 9 years and almost 6 years old.  I lost two babies in between my boys.  I’m due 6/28. 

My husband and I have been married 10 years. I’m completely terrified about losing this baby but so very excited and in love already. 

emsmomof1

26yrs old second pregnancy. Naturally miscarried my first at almost 5 weeks. Going into week 6 now with this one and my numbers are already so much better than the first! Getting married on the 3rd of November so, lots of excitement going on for us! 

pigglesworth

Hi ladies, I’m 36, FTM, it was a big surprise! DH and I use BC, after a little incident in September I used a Plan B within 24 hours...and then got a BFP at the beginning of Oct. We will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary shortly after our EDD of June 21.

I’ve got PCOS and am obese - I had been really focused on my weight loss for the months leading up to conception, so I obviously worry about any weight related complications. We got to see the heartbeat last week so it feels real and I’m cautiously starting to get excited! I’ve completed half marathons and triathlons as an obese woman, but I know this will be the most challenging finish line I’ve faced so far. 

We have 2 fur babies and live 2000 miles away from our families, but fortunately I have a great support group of local friends. We’ve told our parents, siblings, and very close friends - I welcome the support for whatever the outcome. ❤️

Hi everyone. I am exciting to be writing my first ever TB post. I only lurked throughout my last pregnancy. My DD is now 18 mos. EDD is June 24th but I had some spotting and my HCG tested lower than it should be at this many weeks, so OB thinks maybe later. Will see what they say at US ... 

I’m 31. My husband and I have been married for 3 years, together for 6. I am a graphic designer and he is a dentist. We live in Oregon. This will be our last baby, so I’m excited to hopefully enjoy this last pregnancy. Cheers! *clinks O’Doul’s*

ki1244

@canuckbaby THANK YOU! Same deal here...I'm piecing things together but there are still a lot of abbreviations that I haven't figured out yet after 34 years baby-less. (Is there a glossary somewhere I've missed?)

Edited: I 100% did forget that there was a link in the "Read this first" thread with all of them. Prob gonna bookmark that now and chalk it up to baby brain.

Hey all!  Just found this board today – and congratulations to all!  I’m Rebekah, 34, and hubby is 42.  We live in North Carolina; I’m a real estate agent and he is a speaker and author that travels all the time. 

We had a miscarriage back in January 2017 (the pregnancy itself was a complete surprise as I was on birth control at the time) at 7 weeks and I ended up in the hospital.  Decided to go off birth control this summer and as a few of you stated, being a little older, thought it would take a few months but nope… happened a little quicker than we anticipated!  This will be the first baby for both of us.  EDD is June 6th based on LMP but I go Tuesday for our first OB appointment and understand that could get adjusted slightly. 

After experiencing the miscarriage last year, I must admit, I have been very anxious this time around and feel like I hold my breath every time something feels a bit ‘off’ hoping it’s a pregnancy symptom and not a sign of another miscarriage.  Looking forward to good news on Tuesday and getting to know all of you better!

Hi Everyone! 

Our second is the the way due June 11th based on LMP. First appointment on November 1st. My husband is finishing school in out of state and won't be back until December. We live in the midwest and have a 6 year old daughter (I know it's a big gap ) and we can't wait to welcome our little one next June. Looking forward to getting to know you all and wish you all happiness and health through your pregnancies. 🎃🍁
