How did you find out? 5 day fet. I’m impatient and started testing 3 days post ha! Got a faint positive day 4
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets?Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) this is baby#4. Oldest is 15 (DD), 5 (DS), 2 (DS), and this one is a girl! I’m 35 and a nurse. We stay pretty busy with the other three, mostly the oldest with her extracurriculars like volleyball.
How are you feeling? (First appointment? Any symptoms? Emotionally?) surprisingly well, except nausea and reflux. Last pregnancy I struggled with HG and was on fluids and a zofran pump. I was expecting the worst this time, but it has been exponentially better!! 🤞🏻 It continues that way.
@kcossey528- welcome! I did a 5 day FET and due on 12/8 too!! so glad there is not HG this time!

Hello all! I’m so sorry I’m joining so late to join the party. I’ve been lurking about a week or so and finally got up the nerve to introduce myself. Lol
Due date? December 31st
How did you find out? Through several pregnancy tests!!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets?Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?). I have a 2.5 year old daughter (I was/still am a part of the D18 group!). We have an 11 year old grumpy cat named Dougie. I work in the DC area for the govt. I’m also married and we’re still adjusting to suburb life!
How are you feeling? (First appointment? Any symptoms? Emotionally?). Now I have more energy than say a month ago. Lol. Just had my anatomy scan this past Thursday and kiddo is measuring almost a week ahead. Pretty excited!!!
Again sorry to join late but looking forward to getting to know everyone! 😃
Me: 37 | DH: 43 Together since: 2009 Married: May 2015 TTC Since: Jan 2016
How did you find out? Took 4 pregnancy tests after having symptoms and missing my period, BIG surprise but so beyond excited!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets?Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) This is my first time being pregnant, we want 2 kids close together and then he will be getting the snip. I was working as a behavioral therapist at an autism center when I found out I was pregnant but I had to quit extremely early because the job was VERY physically aggressive and I was worried about one of the kiddos causing a miscarriage… we decided I will be staying home until the kids go off to school. We have a 5 year old sweet pitbull that we adopted from an old couple in April. Newly married in April to the love of my life who is in the Airforce. How are you feeling? (First appointment? Any symptoms? Emotionally?) Me and my husband are BEYOND excited to have our baby boy! I have always wanted to be a mom and he has been so loving and supportive and equally emotional and excited with me. Currently 27 and a half weeks, next OB appointment and glucose test both are next week. Just dealing with the insomnia, back pain and HARD baby kicks… overall a very smooth healthy pregnancy.
I had originally joined the January 2022 group when I first got my positive (then was quite terrible about posting), but since have had my due date moved up to December! I wanted to make sure at the anatomy scan that I was officially still in December and the baby keeps measuring earlier into December - SO I'd like to formally join this board. My last BMB was absolutely amazing to be a part of, and we have an active, supportive facebook group that talks every since day. It's a wonderful group to be part of, and has made motherhood easier in so many ways.
Due date? 12/31 (though I am measuring closer to 12/27-12/28 each time!)
How did you find out? We wereTTC for a couple of cycles. My ovulation cramps were pretty regular, and on our first month trying, I felt nothing which was very unusual - but then on the second month, I felt little extra cramping, so I was quite worried it would be twins!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets?Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) DH and I have been married for almost 5 years, we have a DD who just turned 2. She's awesome so I really can't wait to give her a sibling! My husband and I own our own business. I also take care of our daughter full time, and balancing her and work has been a bit of a struggle this past year. I'm hoping by the time this new baby arrives, I will have reduced my working hours. DH and I love to travel - when we got married we quit our jobs and traveled the world/worked remotely for a few years.
How are you feeling? (First appointment? Any symptoms? Emotionally?) This pregnancy feels different, I have a lot less heartburn, and seem to be carrying lower. Feeling pretty tired bit overall not bad!
Third kid: Due 11/6 Second kid: Dec 2021 First kid: Sept 2019
Hello there, I hope all of you are well. I am so happy to join this community. One of my friends is expecting baby in a couple of months. However, she is too conscious to talk to people so I am here to know about your experiences. Though I have asked her to take care of herself and eat healthy foods, we know that a parenting journey is much more than that. Looking forward to hearing from you all.
