Re: Introduction
Due date: February 28/March 1st depending on which due date tracker you follow 🙄
How you found out: I found out on Fathers Day. I was 1 day late and remembered we did the BD (baby dance) close to ovulation. Was following the of it happens it happens method. I wanted to double check before I had a drink with my DH.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
So DH and I have been married for 11 years. We have 1 son (6yo) and 1 fur baby name Bert. I’m going into my 6th year as a special education teacher (3rd year in a self contained emotional disability classroom). For fun, I pole dance and actually did a showcase the Saturday before I found out I was pregnant 😆😳 I also collect plants that my husband ends up taking care of 😂
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Feel alright. Kinda nauseous but good
Me- 25,DH-28
Due date: March 5th
How you found out: We've been NTNP, and I'm just in the habit of testing right before my period is supposed to start. I have a bunch of cheapies from when we were TTC a few years ago. Also, had some weird bleeding about 1 week after O, and thought that it could be implantation bleeding.
Tell us about yourself: This is my 5th pregnancy, 4th LC hopefully. I have a 4yo girl, 2yo girl, and a 1yo boy.
How are you feeling? Already feeling nauseous...
Due Date: March 5, 2023
How you found out : I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it said “pregnant” and I took multiple and all were positive.
This is my first pregnancy! We recently decided we wanted to start trying and last month I was so upset when I got my period and now this month I have my positive pregnancy test! We are getting married on October 14, 2023 so we are currently planning a wedding and we just got ourselves a new puppy (Siberian Husky named Baxter) almost 2 weeks ago.
How are you feeling : Well, I decided to take the test yesterday because the past few days every morning around 2-4 am when my new puppy wakes me up to go to the bathroom, I would just have a slight nauseous feeling that Is not normal for me.
I’m due March 1
I have two little boys (5 and 2 1/2). My husband and I are super excited to be expecting again! I’m into gardening, hiking, and just being outside in general.
I currently just have a little nausea in the morning, but the fatigue is already hitting hard. Also feel like my breast are a little puffy. I’m a little nervous due to a previous loss before having my two year old, but I am praying every day for a healthy baby and pregnancy.
We live in Vermont so lots of outside activities. But also love movies!
I’m due March 1st
I found out while my husband was away a few days before Father’s Day but I couldn’t wait to tell him. The first time we tried for almost three years before we got pregnant and this time it happened on try number two. My husband is 3 and a half years sober and this is definitely why I can get pregnant now!!
I’m feeling very lucky and grateful and hope this sticks because it’s not like I’m getting any younger.
I’m a little nauseous. It comes in waves. Definite headaches, very tired and I’m super moody!
Congrats to everyone!!!
Due date: One app says March 8 and the other says March 5 🤷🏼♀️🤣
How you found out: Just took a test a couple hours ago and there were two lines! 🎉 We were TTC for two cycles so I was tracking ovulation. I’m going to take another test in a couple days to make sure the line gets darker (it was there but not dark by any means).
Tell us about yourself: I have one son who is 20
months old! I’m an Early Childhood Special Education teacher (4 year olds) and this fall will be my 9th year in education. DH and I have been married for 3 years next month. We have a cat and a golden retriever! We love to travel, and I love to read and craft with my cricut.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I’m feeling excited but anxious, hoping this baby sticks 🤞🏻
I do have a lot of anxiety (and am medicated for it) so I'm of course feeling nerves about this new stage and wanting to be able to control things. But hoping I can breathe through it and let myself get excited.
I am a sewing machine operator. I make boat seat covers. He owns his own home repair service business.
I found out by taking a test this morning since AF hadn't shown up yesterday and I had been feeling nauseous and feeling a little bit off for a few days beforehand.
I am feeling:
Emotionally: stunned. I tried with ex for three years after our son turned 2 for another and was told I probably had secondary infertility and probably wouldn't have another baby. It never worked out. It's never happened in the last 8 years. Now it happened and all I can think is that it's been so long, what if I can't remember how to care for a newborn again.
Symptoms: Bloating horribly, nauseous and gassy.
Due date: March 2 (for now - my dates have always changed with ultrasounds)
How you found out: I’ve been feeling really off the last few days and my husband suggested I take a test. It’s faint but it’s there.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) @marebear15 we are similar! I have a 4yo girl, 2yo girl and 9m boy. My husband works in Engineering and I’m a SAHM. We also have a 2 yo Golden Lab named Piper.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? My symptoms are the same as my previous pregnancies so far - insomnia, insane dreams and exhaustion. I’m still a little
shocked that I’m here but happy nonetheless!
Introduce yourself: Hi all! Here for baby #2. According to my LMP I'll be due March 8th. It changed based on US with baby #1 so we'll see. I'm a nurse they works FT and will continue that during pregnancy and after maternity leave. Baby #1 turns 3 soon so I was a member of July 2019 bmb which was really supportive and we all clicked. I wish I had joined the spin off FB group they created but I didn't have an active FB so I didn't. They were great people though!
July 4th
We always planned on having 4 and I'm still feeling at peace with that so after this one we will be done!

How are you feeling (any symptoms, emotionally)?
Due date: March 6-11
How you found out: I was on vaca with my friends and the last night of the trip I was missing my hubby and felt a surge of emotion and started crying! Then I dreamt that night I was pregnant. My hubby and I married in February and immediately conceived and then miscarried in Feb/March. We took a break and started trying again after our honeymoon in April, so each cycle I’ve been hoping for a positive test. I had a 4 hour drive home from where my friends and I were staying so I held in my pee and tested in the evening and I got an obvious positive test! The next day I took two more tests, both positive and the line darker!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I work in higher ed and my hubby is a high school teacher. We have an almost 14 year old Akita mix (Molly). I love to garden, paint, cook, and read NSFW fantasy books :blush: (think SJM). My hubby does woodworking and is an avid board game collector! This will be our first child and we are so excited! We started talking about having kids one month into dating (4 years ago). We’re both in our early 30’s now.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? My nipples are sore and my uterus feels tight/full. I’m aware of it constantly! I’ve felt a little tired as well. Very excited, a little nervous because of the previous miscarriage, and occasionally terrified that my whole world is going to change!
Due date: March 8 2023
How you found out: We started trying this month and I started to have some breast tenderness before my period was due. Took a test and it was positive! Stilled shocked but blessed!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
I’m an RN in the clinic setting. Currently in pediatrics and loving it. My DH and I have been together for 7 yrs and will be married 5 yrs in the fall. We have a retired racing greyhound (see picture) and two cats. We like to think they are all excited about being big brothers but know they have no idea what’s coming 😂
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Anxious but trying to stay positive. Fatigue, sore boobs, bloating and nausea already coming in hot!
I’m Amal, 39, I came to the US in 2020 to reunite with my husband, I was a public health specialist, but now unemployed.
I’m now 5w4d pregnant and my due date is March 1st, I still can’t believe it and I try my best to pass each week to the next and stay positive 💕
Symptoms? Fatigue, queasiness, bloating and sore boobs. Emotionally! I feel so happy but also overwhelmed, I don’t have family or friends here and I feel the responsibility that lies on me and my husband emotionally, physically and financially. I don’t want to think this way and to just be happy that our dream came true but I can’t help but to think about everything we have to buy and save for by ourselves.
thank you for giving me a space yo vent a little💝😊
Hey everyone! I’m Laura, 35, and this is my second pregnancy. We’ve been TTC since April 2021, and started fertility treatment back in January of this year. I have PCOS and needed treatment for our first child also, but lucked out and required just one cycle with Clomid. This time, two cycles of Clomid, one failed IUI, and now one successful IUI and here we are!
Due date:
~ March 13
How you found out:
I had my post-IUI blood test Friday am and was fully convinced it’d be negative. I was stunned silent when my nurse called with the results, and luckily my husband was sitting with me to hear the news too. Like you (obviously) know it’s a possibility but after so many months of disappointment it didn’t feel real! I spent the next 24 hours shocked 🙃
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
My husband and I will be married this September for 10 years and our daughter, HK, will turn 7 just two days later! We have a dog, Rosie, and live in Maryland. I work 100% remotely as a VP for a tech company, which is stressful but I love it. I love doing DIY projects like flipping furniture, reading, puzzles, and hanging out with my kiddo. I swear a lot and get easily distracted.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?
Still sort of overcoming the shock, but I’m so excited. Also nervous to change up the dynamic our little trio has had for so long, but our daughter has been begging for a sibling so she’ll be delighted. Physically, just super tired and some light cramping.
Hello! Canadian here. I’m turning 25 in a couple weeks. This is my first pregnancy. I work from home in Marketing. Feels like a new stage of life that I’m welcoming with open arms.
Due date: March 6th depending on who you ask…
How you found out: Missed my period. Canada Day was coming up and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t pregnant before celebrating with friends. Sure enough it was a BFP. My partner was there. What a special moment!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
This is my first pregnancy. I’m the older sibling so it will be my parents first grandchild. I’m half Canadian and half Mexican but was born in the US. My partner is Bahamian. We’ve been dating almost 2 years. It’s pretty fresh but it’s the most loving, supportive, healthy and secure relationship I’ve ever experienced. I like to hangout with friends, go to the gym, swim, read books and go for morning walks.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?
Symptoms are mild! I’ve had period symptoms present themselves worse then what I’ve experienced so far. I had 2 days in indigestion maybe 2 weeks in (not sure if this was pregnancy related). Mildly sore breasts, extremely light cramps that lasted only a day, I get a little nauseous after eating here and there, peeing frequently but also drinking more water, and fatigue. Best part has been my acne clearing after 3 years of bad acne, so there’s a plus!
Emotionally I feel good. Different in the sense that I feel wildly optimistic, motivated and inspired to be my best self. I do get moments of anxiety triggered from whenever I go to tell someone new that I’m pregnant. This can last a couple hours but being this is my first pregnancy and I’m a planner, I know it’s probably normal.
Due date: March 7th, if everything goes as planned
How you found out: Pregnancy test after 2 days of missed period.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) This is my 1st pregnancy. I didn't think it was going to happen. I haven't been on contraceptive for about 5 years. I am also type I diabetic. I have 2 basset hound dogs that are my babies. I'm a pharm tech. My husband is super excited. He is also a twin and keeps teasing me that this pregnancy is going to be multiples.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I have cramps. I've read probably anything and everything I could and finally came to the conclusion that it is ligament pains. I've stressed and panicked about everything there probably is to worry about. I finally just said ok, whatever, it is what it is. Just go with it. Also, apparently I have digestive issues I'm blaming the hormones.
Introduce yourself: My name is Al! I'm a 29 years old and have been trying for baby #3 for 15 completed insemination cycles over 2.5 years (we require a donor to conceive). I've been actively temping / testing / tracking, taking the supplements, doing the diets, reading all the books, interviewing donor's, etc. every single month since October 2019. It has been a long, crazy journey to get here. I've had 4 losses in the last 2 years and 6 losses overall. But these are the darkest tests I've gotten so far so I'm trying to stay optimistic.
Due date: 3/12 as of now. I suspect this will be changed after ultrasound because I ovulated 2 days later than "normal".
How you found out: I was planning to wait for 13DPO to test (the day I usually get my cycle) but at 10DPO I just couldn't stand it anymore. I got vvfl on 2 internet cheapies and didn't trust it until the next day when I got clear positives on the same internet cheapies as well as First Response! Then this morning (12DPO) I took a Clearblue digital that came back positive!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) My husband and I have been married for 3 years and we have 2 kiddos already (9&3). We also have 3 dogs and a cat. I'm a SAHM but I'm a huge bookworm and I also like to write novels (mostly for myself). Fun fact: @jynjer4 and I were in the same birth month group once upon a time! Small world 😉 but I'm happy to see you here!
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Yesterday I was very dizzy, whoozy, and nauseous all day but today my main symptom is cramping and also intense round ligament pain all day. That was actually my first symptom with my second kiddo, round ligament pain and the reason I took a test!

Due date: app says 3/2
How you found out: my husband and I wanted to start trying right after getting married (5/29). After the first month of trying, I could tell something was different approaching my period, so I decided to take a test the day after my missed period… I was shocked to see it positive! Im 36 and Franz (hubs) is 40, so we had no real idea how things would go.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) Franz and I are newlyweds, but have been living together with two grey kitties for 5 years now. I run my own design business and he works as a construction manager. This is our first, and we’re currently living in Philadelphia, but we are hoping to move outside of the city and get some land, be around nature more. We know this won’t happen before the baby is born (as long as everything works out 🤞) but we’re hoping to move within the next year or two. I’ve got big dreams of a separate studio space, a big garden, and possibly some Airbnb’s on the property. We shall see!
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Im feeling ok, symptoms come and go… mostly light cramping here and there, bloating and fatigue. I feel like I need a nap most days. No nausea yet or sore boobs, but I never get soreness with my period so I guess it makes sense. Overall, a little nervous but staying positive everything is good and well 💛
Due Date: 03/05/22
How you found out: I normally spot for 5 days before my period, like clockwork. When I went 2 days past my period start date, I took a test and it was positive!
Tell us about yourself: This will be my first baby. I had a miscarriage between 6-8 weeks almost 13 years ago. The timeline for this pregnancy is almost to the day of the last time, which is weird to me! I have a boyfriend who is 38, we started dating 2 months ago and this is the most welcome surprise for us both.
How are you feeling: I am feeling great. The only symptoms I've had so far are a cramping/pulling sensation, off and on sore boobs, a couple of instances of feeling a little nauseous and a bit of constipation. Everything is very mild still as I'm only just over 5weeks.
