@doodleoodle we were on the February 2020 group together. Can’t believe we’re in the same one again! Lol. I’ve changed my username since last time, but I recognized yours right away 😊
@tmk2021 I think I remember you, too no, I’m not in the FB group. FB isn’t really my thing. I was a member of the private group until everyone lost interest lol
Say a little bit about yourself here: hey y’all! I’m 28 and a stay at home mama. However by trade I work in pediatrics as an RT. My hubby is military and we’ve been married 4.5 years and together since 2013.
Due date? Late November probably- I’ve not had a period since I got married and had a honeymoon baby
First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are there ages? Nope! I’ve got two others. Both boys 3 and 1. (TW and they say I can’t get pregnant 😂) I’ve been pregnant or breastfeeding or both since we got married and y’all I’m tired lol but I love it.
I have to post and run for now but I can’t wait to get to know everyone 💕
Hi mamas! I'm so thrilled to join in, I took 5 different tests this afternoon with faint lines, but the digital gives me the confidence to introduce myself (I'm here despite the odds because I didn't track O well before it happened but looks like O-5 BD works sometimes) 😁
Where are you from? Massachusetts
Due date? November 24th
First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are there ages? 2nd pregnancy, we have a 17 month old son who is amazing. We're really excited to do this again and give him a sibling.
I was very active on my prior BMB and made great friends, we communicate daily on FB. I hope that closeness happens here too!
Hi. I’m pregnant with my second. EDD is 2nd Nov but I will most probably have a c section in mid October. I’m 34, living in Stockholm, Sweden My first pregnancy was after 4 years of trying and a failed ivf. She is a miracle child! Also the pregnancy was riddled with issues from the very beginning and ended with preeclampsia. I enjoyed her being in my tummy so much despite all the trauma. This time round, I’m already have similar issues but I don’t get to meet a midwife until next week. At the moment my 2yo and I are sick and I’m expecting my covid test to arrive tomorrow. Hoping for good vibes our way.
Any other preeclamptic moms here, that had better luck the following time?
Hi all and congrats!! I’m Casey, i live in NJ! I’m due 11/11 according to my LMP this is my 3rd pregnancy. I have a 5 year old son and I experienced a loss in November.
I haven’t set up my first OB appointment yet as I lost my insurance right before I found out I was pregnant and I’ve been trying to sort that out before I make an appointment 🤦♀️ It’s been a mess! But I’m an Ultrasound tech and have unofficially confirmed it! A few times! 😁
Hey Ladies! Jumping over from the TTC board and I am very happy to finally be here (I see you @jackie_dunny, yay!!)
Just found our we're expecting #3 EDD 11/26, but will have a RCS week of 11/15 if all goes well. We live in the Chicago suburbs and have 2 boys, ages 6 and 3 with a mmc at 9 weeks in between. I recently had a CP in January and it took us a bit longer than we had anticipated to conceive this time around. We also have 3 furbabies, 2 labs (lab/pit & yellow lab) and a cat.
I'm currently working from home, which will be extremely convenient once the MS sets in. I inevitably get MS (borderline HG) every pregnancy from 6-14 weeks. Praying it bypasses me this time, but not hopeful. I'm excited to meet you all and am wishing and praying for H&H and uneventful pregnancies for us all.
@sthlm_21 my blood pressure spiked at 39w with my 1st and they decided the following week it was preeclampsia so they wanted to induce... 2nd pregnancy no issues at all! Fingers crossed you're good this time around!
Say a little bit about yourself here: I'm not really sure what to say! I'm a stay-at-home mom right now.
Where are you from? Well I'm from Washington state but I have lived in many places! I used to live in Hawaii for five years. I recently moved from Cleveland and now I'm in Rochester, Minnesota.
Due date? November 14 I think.
First pregnancy? If not, how many kiddos and what are there ages? I have kids who are almost 5 and 2.

I was diagnosed at 34w and spent time in the hospital until 37w. All I need to hear is one story that things would be better the following time around. Thanks for the reassurance.
Hello! I'm a 33 year old stay at home mom for my 4 year old son. We live in California.
My due date is November 23.
TW: Loss
I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks in August of 2019. I'm a little over 4 weeks now and I'm scared to get excited all over again. My miscarriage really messed me up physically and emotionally for a long time.
My first ultrasound appointment is scheduled at 6 weeks. They want to see me 2 weeks earlier than they usually do because of my previous loss. I hope it won't be too early to see anything, because that will make me even more nervous!
Due date? November 23rd, but I'm a repeat cesarean so will most likely be a week earlier.
This will be my fourth pregnancy. I have 3 kiddos ages 6, 4 and 1. We weren't technically trying to get pregnant, but it came as a nice surprise! A little nervous on how I will juggle it all!
Hello! I’m Alyssa from England and I’m 20 years old. I’m 5w6d pregnant, my due date is the 15th of November and this is my first pregnancy so I’m super excited and nervous at the same time.
I’ve been feeling really nauseous and really tired, to the point where it’s hard to do everything I need to do during the day!
@doodleoodle It was mostly pretty great living in Hawaii! Oahu was a bit crowded but I'm definitely missing it more since experiencing a Minnesota winter! I'm tempted to move back one day.
This will be baby #4! I have an almost 8 year old, 6 year old, and almost 4 year old.
This is a somewhat surprise baby, we weren’t trying, but weren’t preventing so we can’t be too shocked. But I’m really anxious about this pregnancy. We’ve been so lucky to never have any issues getting pregnant, and never had a miscarriage, so crossing everything this is another healthy baby. 🤞🏻
First appointment April 12, I will be 8 weeks then.
I’ve made some really good friends from my previous BMB, my best friend I actually met in my very first BMB, we’ve traveled together for some momcations and flown out to visit each other. So I’m looking forward to making some new friendships this time around too.

I just went through my first MN winter too! You’re in Rochester, right? We’re in Minneapolis 🙂
Congratulations are in order for us all🥰
Im Sonovia. Im originally from NYC but my husband and I have lived in ATL since 2019. Im currently 5 weeks today with a due date of Nov 3.
I will likely have to have a c section so due date may change.
No children earthside. This is our rainbow baby.
Excited for the community. Especially early on while its still a secret ☺️
Has anyone lost their appetite? I just dont have a taste for anything

And a second thank you from me. I had preeclampsia the first time around and hoping things will be better this time around as well.
Have any of you preeclampsia mamas talked to your dr about starting on baby aspirin? My dr wanted me to start taking one from the start because of my loss history, but reading up on it, it is one of the only things that has been shown to help lower chances of getting preeclampsia.
I’ve been lurking for about a week and decided it was time for me to intro myself.
I’m from Northern California (Bay Area) but spent most of my life in the Seattle area.
Due date? I think 11/16 but my first appt isn’t until 4/12 so I’m guessing they will confirm then.
I’m a FTM and so far the symptoms have been rocking me - especially this week! All day nausea and exhaustion so I’m extra thankful my job has us working from home until September.
Hi All, I’m from the NY metro area and 36 years old.
I’m due November 2nd and expecting twins, so this will be baby #4 and #5, a huge shocking surprise. We have 3 kids, 8 yrs, 7 yrs and 3yrs. We didn’t plan on 4, let alone 5, but are slowly adapting to the idea.
I am looking for ideas for cribs, anything for twins and if anyone else here is expecting fraternal twins? We gave away all our baby stuff, so open to suggestions! Hope everyone is well!
