Hi all! First timer here...currently 5 weeks 4 days. We did IUI so I know exactly when we conceived, haha. Due July 4th! Other than being super tired and my boobs getting bigger and being sore, I wouldn’t even know I was pregnant! It actually kind of freaks me out because I’m constantly afraid I’m going to lose the baby since I don’t have real “symptoms”. Anybody else feeling this way? I have an ultrasound Thursday and I’m hoping we can see a little heartbeat (it’ll be 6 weeks so it’s a possibility), but I mostly want them to test my HCG levels again so I know I’m still pregnant!! Good luck to all the other mamas on here! And sending heart healing thoughts thoughts to those who didn’t have sticky beans this time around. ❤️
@martyelizabeth welcome! Fingers crossed for you, and good luck at your appointment on Thursday!!
@BumpAdmin@BumpCaitlin can we please get a board now!? I imagine there are plenty of July mamas that don’t know this thread exists and are anxiously awaiting a board so they can connect with others!
So I'm just as impatient as all of you and I emailed the BumpApp Customer Service .... this is the response I got just now. How many of you are 4 weeks or further along at this point? I'm almost 5 weeks and sick of waiting patiently
@mamahmh2 According to my OB's wonky math, tomorrow is 6 weeks in for me...? If my EDD is actually July 1. I get waiting an extra couple days since not all of us would be due the first day of the month, but this is a bit much, isn't it?
@babyginjuly@ki1244 HH 9 months to you both!! I have no patience already, and this pregnant is only making it 10x worse :') Looking back at June, May, and April boards, they all were posted between the 1st and 5th of the month.
They do know that we now have due dates halfway through the month now right?? I think the bump needs to read their own article on calculating due dates.

Maybe there's a glitch they're trying to work out? When I go to the main "community" page, I can see "Latest Posts in July 2019 Moms," but it's not a link and TB logo loads indefinitely underneath it.
@mamanbebe I've seen "Why my Pregnant Self is Crying" on several BMBs. DH jokes I could probably fill a book Product Spotlights seem super helpful too!
I definitely think a Baby Gear thread would be helpful. Also a Baby Names thread? Also also, as a FTM, it would be SUPER helpful if there was a Things I Wish I Knew... thread for experienced mamas to bestow their knowledge upon us FTM! Because, like, WHAT IS BIRTH REALLY LIKE?!
What about a c-section information thread? I'm sure I'm not the only one who has no choice but to get a CS and have no idea what to expect. It would also be helpful for those planning on vaginal delivery because emergency c-sections do happen, and it would be nice to know what to expect if you suddenly find yourself getting one. (I know at least three women who had emergency c-sections.) Maybe sharing some positive CS stories, too: every article I come across about c-sections is filled with scare tactics and shaming
@hestia14 A CS info thread is a great idea! I had one with DS and although I'm still unsure if I will have a repeat, I would love to share what I learned from the process but also gain new knowledge from others who had difference experiences.
Hi there! July 4th here! Husband and I found out last week Sunday. We battled infertility for 2yrs. Went through 4 clomid cycles and then did ivf in July that failed. We were told we had a 1% chance of conceiving on our own (male factor infertility) and here we are!! We are still so shocked and so overjoyed! This will be my second (my son is 8) and my husbands 1st.
Another thought I have is a 'calm mama' thread. I personally would like to stay on top of meditation, yoga and gentle exercise to keep my stress & anxiety down. I'd love to check in weekly with others who are interested in motivating each other, sharing ideas, talking through stresses, etc.
Also, these broken avatars are driving me nuts! I hope it's because they are reloading the site to give us our BMB (hint, nudge, @BumpAdmin )
I like this idea. I had an emergency section with my first. I am a candidate for a VBAC but DH has asked for me to consider having another section due to the trauma he had around my first delivery.
I am waiting too! Got a bfp at 9dpo, I love watching my line get darker and darker. Especially after having a miscarriage in August. Not many symptoms besides sore bbs and craving OJ, which i never drink. Oh and bloating lots and lots of bloating. Other than that I'm doing good....for now!
Hi new here. mom of two beautiful kids. six year old daughter ezra and five year old son zephyr. Now one due july 12th we are 5 weeks today Im so excited.

I vote for a “you know you’re pregnant when.. (symptoms and emotional outbursts thread)”
