Due Date: 3/23 First time mom?: Yes Anything else you want to tell us about yourself?: I’m also still in absolute shock. It was completely unexpected, but I’m very excited!! I work for Amazon on the West Coast. I train new employees coming in, and whatever else they want me to do if we have no new people. 😂 I’ve been on a 2 week LOA, because of a COVID scare, but thankfully no COVID I’m just pregnant. Lol. Really excited to be a part of this forum with everyone else expecting in March!! It’s going to be fun to go on this journey all together and have other ladies to talk to. : )
@cmortmain I will likely tell my boss soon because she signs off on all my time off requests and it will probably become suspicious very quickly that I have a doctor appointment every month lol. I will wait until after my first trimester to tell my co-workers though.
Due Date; 3/17 First time mom? No, this will be my third
This will be my third pregnancy, and if all goes well my third baby. I have a four year old daughter Emma and a 2.5 year old daughter Taylor. I had to previous c-sections and will be planning on a third. I am excited to be back on the Bump!
@lin0442@jenotontx I think I'm going to have to tell sooner rather than later, given how crappy I'm feeling. Also, I'm a lawyer, and even though I don't go to court much, there are lots of deadlines etc. that I am going to have to plan around my expected leave.
@cmortmain The job that I was at for my last pregnancy, my team was like family. My closest co-worker knew I was going through treatment, so she knew right away. I told my boss at 8 weeks bc I wanted to give them as much lead time as possible to account for my maternity leave. This time, especially since we're working from home probably through the rest of the year, I'll wait til second trimester.

Hello! I've been waiting for the march board but it never came on the phone app! Been hanging with February for about a month. Due March 4th I was in shock a month ago to find out I would be a 3rd time mom. We had sex once and there ya go. I have an almost 5 year old and a 3 year old. I was "done" lol but obviously not now. We had moved to Florida about a year ago so I have absolutely no baby items or maternity clothes anymore; it'll work itself out I'm sure. I'm an xray technologist who supervises the entire imaging department on the weekends. I have already told my boss because I work in radiation and covid. My ultrasound tech gave me a sneak peek at the baby a week ago and the baby has a heart beat and measuring correctly. Won't have an official appointment till August 10th which is so late to me. I usually see a dr and have an ultrasound by 9 weeks. Glad to be here with you ladies.
Hi everyone! I just got a positive test on Monday - I was shocked because we needed fertility treatment for my daughter who is 2. I had actually filled a Clomid prescription and was waiting until after my scheduled mammogram to start a cycle. Well, I took a pregnancy test to be sure I wasn’t pregnant before my mammo, and it was positive! So I’m really happy to have ovulated all by myself, and this was my first ovulation since before my daughter.
Since I don’t have a LMP and wasn’t tracking ovulation I don’t know my due date yet - appointment on the 27th - but it should be mid March.
Curious if any other moms here are still nursing their last baby? Also curious if anyone is hiring a Monitrice? I had a doula last pregnancy but I’m considering a Monitrice this time.
As a side note - how do you find the forums on the app? I can only find this on the website...
@ckmb_knottie Welcome! I’m still nursing my 13 month old. They don’t have the March board up on the app yet. I believe a few people already contacted admin to see if they could get it added.
@sunny_native14@travandas glad to have some fellow nursing mamas! My daughter is 24 months and we just got down to 2x a day, which I think is the reason I was finally able to get pregnant definitely dealing with some sore nipples over here though.
We have been trying to have a baby for over 5 years. I had two miscarriages last year and an ectopic that almost killed my last year. I had to get cut wide open from all the internal bleeding then that gave me pulmonary embolisms in my right lung, which I’m still currently on injections for everyday. I have never gotten pregnant naturally. Had to get both tubes removed due to infection. I’ve been through 4 IVFs and this was my 4th FET (frozen transfer). I had my first ultrasound today at 5 weeks 2 days. I seen the gestational sac with the yolk. So that was exciting. My due date is March 16th. Getting another ultrasound in 2 weeks and praying this works! So far all of my hcg beta numbers have been doubling like they should and no complications.
Wish I was one of the lucky ones who were able to get pregnant so easily! Would of completed my family by now lol.
This is my 13th year as a special education teacher so I love children and it is my dream to be a mom.
First time mom? If not, number/ages of other children? I have a DS 13 months old.
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself?
I’m super excited to be here!
I have my first appointment with my obstetrician in a couple of weeks’ time. I am in a Facebook group with some ladies I met last time while on the bump for my DS and it’s been so great, they are a lovely bunch of women and it’s so sweet watching all our babies grow. Looking forward to becoming part of another group.
I am 34 and H is 35. We've been married for almost 12 years and my family in particular has been pestering us about when we were going to have a kid since I graduated law school 6 years ago. We waited until the time was right for us and I think some had given up hope lol. Can't wait to tell them.
Due Date: march 23rd i think First time mom? If not, number/ages of other children? DS is 2.5 ish , my 3 stepkids are 18, 16, 15, but they live primarily with their mother. Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? Still super close with my Nov17 moms, hoping something good comes of this too. Really feeling nervous about pregnancy in a pandemic
Due Date: 3/4 First time mom? If not, number/ages of other children? I have two kids, ages 11 & 12 Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? This one came as quite a surprise- DH had a vasectomy 8 weeks after our youngest was born so.....this is kind of weird. I'm still getting used to the idea but I will get there. The big kids don't know yet and I know they will be over the moon so I am looking forward to telling them.
@threatlevelmidnight welcome! Did you have them at home? I’m in Ohio so we have few options for water births except at home (no birth centers). I’ve definitely considered it but no one in my family has done it so it still feels like an unknown. Im hiring a Monitrice though who is qualified for home births in case this pandemic gets too bad and we want to switch, assuming I remain low risk.
First time mom? If not, number/ages of other children?: I have a 6 year old son
Anything else you want to tell us about yourself?: I'm 37 years old and was one and done for the longest time, but changed my mind at the last minute, lol. Excited but also very nervous about going through all of this again!
Due Date: March 10 First time mom? Yes! Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? (TW) I had a miscarriage last year, so this pregnancy feels a little scary because I don’t want that to happen again. I’ve noticed myself trying to disconnect a little from it, like not think too much about the pregnancy. I guess I just don’t want to get my hopes too high. Also, fun fact, my husband and I were actually planning to start trying in July, but I got pregnant in June! Kinda funny how that happened, but we were both excited.
Due Date: Looks like around March 29th First Time Mom: No, I have an 18 month old boy
Hello! I literally just got a positive test today, so I haven't seen my doctor yet or anything. Just really excited and still in that whole "is this real?" Stage. I already have an awesome little boy, so I'm really happy for him to become a big brother!
I am 30 and my husband is 38 and we are both engineers working in a plant (so please excuse any typos and grammar- I am not dumb, just a chemical engineer, lol!) I had 2 egg retrievals in 2018 due to MFI. Had a failed FET and then a successful FET that resulted in my son from the first round. This was my first FET from the second ER. We did PGS on the second round, but not the first.
Due Date: 3/20/21 Third (and final) time mom here! We currently have 3.5 and 1.5 year old boys. My husband and I have been married for 7 years. I've been a dirty lurker on here throughout my first two pregnancies because the app is crap on my phone but I'm trying out participating this time around on a newer phone!
Due Date: 3/6/2021 First time mom? Yes! About me: I am excited, but nervous about this pregnancy. There have been so many changes so quickly, and I feel uncomfortable and out of my element. I'm a nurse (working in education, so not on the front lines) and have a background in adult and pediatric medicine, but have NO experience with OB. I feel like once the baby is born, I'll have an idea about what's supposed to happen (child development and illness), but right now I feel completely lost. Each day is a queasy adventure!
Due Date: 3/27/2021 First time mom? If not, number/ages of other children? FTM- 2nd pregnancy, first was ectopic in October 2018- this is an IVF pregnancy- 2nd round of IVF! Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I'm a nurse! I am a fertility nurse, but use to be a labor and delivery nurse, then an OBGYN nurse. Another fact- my sister is also pregnant- due 4 weeks before me!
Due Date: According to the due date calculator, March 30 so looks like realistically I'll be straddling March and April! First time mom? If not, number/ages of other children? 1st time mom here. Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? Hi everyone! I've been a longtime board member over on TTGP! MH and I started trying to get pregnant in 2018, got diagnosed with MFI in 2019, did IVF in February of 2020 and immediately had a CP. My March transfer got cancelled due to covid, I started back up again with a transfer in June that was a very very early CP, and then in July we did our third transfer that has resulted in my first unequivocal "congratulations your pregnancy test was positive" phone call yesterday. I'm really nervous about this pregnancy due to my loss history, but I'm going to jump in over here!
I live in New England, I'm a crafter, I love to run (very slowly!), and MH and I have a very sweet lab mix named Rosie who will be absolutely over the moon happy to be a big sister.

Hi everyone - I was lurking until my u/s this week.
Due Date: 3/4 First time mom? If not, number/ages of other children? I have a 13 month old son. Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I'm another social worker! I'm an LCSW and I work in the medical field. Found out we were pregnant the day after my son's first birthday. A little nervous about having 2 under 2 but excited to see them grow up so close.
@jce84 It took me over 2 years and a surgery to get pregnant with my first and this time I got pregnant the first month we tried lol. Talk about surprise!
@jce84@lin0442 took me 2.5 yrs for our first and 6 months of not preventing , 2 months actively trying for this one! Crazy how my body just seems to know what to do this time.
Hi all! STM here, DD just turned a year so I’m joining the 2 under 2 club. Due date is around March 13th. I’m a lawyer from Ontario and DH is a psychologist. I had a super easy pregnancy the first time around then a bit of a difficult delivery and recovery; interested/nervous to see how it all goes this time. I’ve started getting morning sickness which I didn’t have at all last time, so that’s ‘fun’... 🙂 Looking forward to getting to know you all!
