Hi everyone, I’m 33 and 8.5 weeks pregnant. My husband and I got married in October 2017 and have been trying pretty much since! This will be our first child for both of us.. We’ve got a 2 year old furbaby (mini aussie) who’s afraid of his own shadow, likes to herd us, and is ridiculously sweet. I’m looking forward to feeling better in trimester 2 as well as growing a baby bump (instead of just looking bloated) and planning a road trip/ babymoon late summer 💖.
Hey!! My name is Lindsey and I am due 1/6/20 with baby #4! I have 3 girls, 8, 6, and 2. 🤪 I had a missed miscarriage in Jan and am still so worried this time even though I’ve seen the little heart beating!
Hi everyone!! My name is Emily and I’m pregnant with my 3rd. I have 2 boys who are almost 12 and 4. My boyfriend and I have only been together 5 months so this was definitely unexpected but a welcomed blessing none the less. I think my EDD is 01/20 but I’m not too sure since I was on BC and didn’t have a period. Best of luck to you all ❤️
Hello Mommas! I'm Kristyn, and I'm pregnant with my first, due on 1/4. My husband and I were casually trying for a few months, and we found out about Baby on our first anniversary . Our dog Buster doesn't seem to know what's up yet, but I think he'll be a great big bro. I'm so excited for all of us!
Hello fellow mamas to be! My name is Sam I am pregnant with baby #2. I have a 2.5 year old who keeps me on my toes. I had a mc earlier in the year (Jan to be exact) and I’m nervous and scared and excited and anxious for this pregnancy. My estimated due date is 1.26.20.
I've been lurking for a while and wanted to comment on something, so I'm doing a tentative intro. My name is Carrie and my EDD is 1/22. I have a daughter that is almost 3. TW -- I've had very bad luck with pregnancies, which is why I've been reluctant to participate on the board. I've had 3 missed miscarriages and 4 chemical pregnancies and the RE said I will probably continue to miscarry. I'm turning 41 this month and have diminished ovarian reserve. So I feel like my presence here is likely temporary. Sorry for the not-so-cheerful intro. I really just wanted to offer my support in PGAL. Good luck to everyone.

Hi everyone! My name is Chelsea, I just turned 30 and this is my 2nd pregnancy and 3rd child. We have a 7 yr old stepdaughter, 5 yr old son, and this new babe due 01/10. I was super active in A14 with my son on the bump and we are still together on Facebook, so I wasn’t sure if I would join again but figured I would try, since I got so much out of my first board. Looking forward to a healthy 9 months for all 🥰
Hi, my name is Allison! I'm from Michigan, turning 27 next week, and have an EDD of 1/13/2020! Hubs and I are so excited, we just had our 1 year wedding anniversary and are overjoyed to welcome our first little babe 😊
Hi my name is Analiese! I'm am from NJ and have a 18 month old son who's keeping me very active! Had a MMC two months ago but my OB said my beta levels are very good so I'm hopeful! EDD 1/27/20!!
I'm Madison! My husband, Greg, and our animals, lupin, River, and Eleanor, are so excited for January! This will be our first. I have had to quit my job at the animal shelter for the baby's health but my pain still remains rescuing and homing all animals in need. I am still fostering kittens to get my animal fix. My first ultrasound is tomorrow! Send good vibes!
Hi! I’m Hannah, I’ve been a little apprehensive about posting on here until I have my first dr. appt, but I just couldn’t wait any longer! I’m 30, and pregnant with my first. EDD is 1/16. I have my first appointment on Monday and I’m so ready!
Hi everyone! I’m Staci, 30 year old SAHM in Canada and this is baby number four for us. My older kids are 8, 6 and 3. This one was quite a surprise but I’m coming around. I still regularly talk to a bunch of the ladies from my bump group three years ago, so I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone here!
Hi everyone 😊 I’m Allie, 33 from Kelowna, BC. This is my second pregnancy. My son is 12 so this pregnancy came as a happy surprise to my husband and I. Looking forward to getting to know you ladies. My EDD is January 20.
Hi 👋🏻 According to my last cycle, I’m due January 27, 2020. This is my third pregnancy, and (hopefully) first baby. I’m using the Ovia pregnancy tracking app, which says I’m about 6w5d. On 05/30 I had beta testing done - it was 13000. I had another beta test done on 06/03 - it was 57000, so it is rising accordingly. My first ultrasound is 06/18, when I should be about 8 weeks.
I’m taking each day as it comes and being grateful for what these symptoms mean. my husband doesn’t know yet, I’m planning to surprise him with an ultrasound pic in a Father’s Day card ☺️
⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ I’ve had two miscarriages- 01/2014 at 12 weeks, 05/2016 at 6.5 weeks.
I wish a happy and healthy next “few” months to all!
Hi, I'm 27. Married last year, together for 10 years. This will be our first! EDD Jan 30 according to my last cycle. It was a happy surprise & we're completely new to everything. I'm 6 weeks. I have my first appointment with my pcp on July 2. Is it fine to have it so far ahead?
Hope I'm doing this alright. I'm also new to all this lingo lol
Hi, I'm Deanne and I will be turning the big 4-0 in a few months. I've been married almost 9 years and have a 5 year old daughter. My daughter was conceived via IVF on our first try and after a total of 8 rounds is my only living child. We lost our son at 17 weeks in October of 2016 for unknown reasons and were told getting pregnant naturally was almost impossible. Imagine our surprise when I saw 2 lines a few weeks ago! We are terrified, excited, and very cautiously optimistic that we will finally get to give our daughter a sibling. I consider every day I am pregnant as a bonus since I never thought I would get to experience this ever again .
Hi everyone! I'm a little late to the party but I was a little hesitant from some prior history but today I told myself I would join! I have a great relationship with my April18 BMB and I hope I have the same experience here. A little about myself; I have a 4 year old dd and a 15 month dd. So this will be our 3rd and final baby. Pregnancy wasn't a surprise and was 100% planned but it happened so fast! My last pregnancy I needed the help of fertility drugs so I was expecting a longer TTC journey. But I'll happily take what I've been given.
Hello, My name is Britney. I am currently 7 weeks and this will be baby number 3 for our family. We have two girls 16 months and 3.5 yo. I was apart of the Sept 2015 BMB and am still in touch with the wonderful women who make up that group. I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.
@allie-e-w33 I lived in Vancouver BC for 7 years but now I've been in Oregon for a year or so. I'm actually American but an American who knows Canadian life! Fingers crossed the wildfire season calms down so it isn't as bad as last year!
Hi, my name is Vicky. I’m 39 and had successful IVF due to his vasectomy 10 years ago. He has 3 boys that live with us half time: almost 17, 15 and 12. This is my first pregnancy, EDD 11 Jan. My second and part time job is teaching Les Mills Body Pump and yoga, and I do triathlons (although likely no more this year). Love to hike and be outdoors, especially in summer.
Hi there! I'm Anna, 34, 8.5weeks pregnant with twins. FTM. I'm just going to be honest, I'm terrified of a miscarriage. Prayers for all of you and return prayers appreciated! My husband is excited but cautious. We have 2 rescue chimixes who will have their world turned upside down... Currently I'm battling constant nausea and fatigue.
Hi Ladies!!! I’m Hannah and I’m 29 years old. I’m 9.5 weeks pregnant and I’m due Jan 13th!! My husband and I are ecstatic! *TW* we had a miscarriage this February- the day after my birthday and the day after we announced our pregnancy to everyone... worst time of our lives and we are still grieving our Sweet Baby. I am feeling so blessed to have another chance to be a mama again!!! Praying that we all have very happy and uneventful pregnancies!
@hannahturm28 Welcome! We have a very active PGAL group on this board if you’re interested. I’ve found it helps having other folks who’ve been through it to offer support.
Hi! I’m Rianna, 37 years young, and seven weeks into my first pregnancy. I’m tentatively excited because my husband and I have been trying since November 2017. I’ve had some spotting which I know is normal but it makes me SO nervous. Last week and again this week, we saw the baby’s heartbeat on a sonogram so that helps put my mind to ease. My EDD is January 28, and while that seems so far away, I have a feeling it’ll go super fast. I look forward to the journey.
Hi everyone! My name is Tami, I will be 35 in Sep and live in south GA. This is my 3rd pregnancy, 1st one I had twin girls (they turn 3 on Aug 3rd), then miscarried, and pregnant now with just 1. My husband and I are so excited, been trying since September and hoping for a boy. We've onlytold his family and a few work friends. Plan to tell my family when we go visit for July 4th. Glad to have joined the bump and excited to get to know everyone.
My name is Kayleigh. I'm 28 years old. I have a 6 year old step son and am pregnant with my first. EDD 1/24. Had my first ultrasound yesterday and got to hear the heartbeat. So excited for this journey!!
Hi everyone, my name is Bri and I’m 28 years old. I’m pregnant with my second EDD Jan 25 and have a 4 year old daughter. I had my ultrasound last Monday and everything was great, so I’m gearing up to share the news soon with friends and family. I’m very excited to be part of this community!
Hi! I am Jennifer! I am 40 years old with two boys ages 9 and 12. I am an attorney and I have a dog and a cat. I am 10 weeks 3 Days pregnant with my third. This was a complete surprise. I have had the mirena IUD and apparently it dislodged without my knowledge and guess what. Here I am! I was totally done and I feel like I am staring all over so I am a bit stressed but know it will work out!
Hey y'all! My name is Kathie, I'm turning 27 in July, and this is the first pregnancy for my husband and I 😊 We weren't planning for baby, but also welcomed the thought of starting a family soon. I've never had a regular mensual cycle, so we thought we would need longer to be pregnant. Baby is 8 wks today, and we just had an ultrasound at 7w4d and saw the heartbeat! EDD is Jan. 25.
We've been married 4 years, have a furry 3.5 YO rescue pup named Cleo (shes a bratty girl who loves kids thankfully!), and super excited to meet our new addition. I'm am occupational therapist, and my husband works in accounting. Praying for a healthy pregnancy journey for all!🤗
