Hi, everyone! My name is Lizeth. After almost 4 years of infertility I'm pregnant for the first time! 💛 I went through IVF, so my April 13th due date should be pretty exact. I am so nervous and excited to be on this journey. I have my first ultra sound at 6 weeks and 3 days next week with my fertility doctor. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. 😊
Hello I'm Dee this is my first pregnancy, my partner and I are super excited I'm 23 I make 24 in like a week. I'm about 4 weeks and 5 days so due around April 20th.
Hi! I’m Katie, 38 and I have two boys earth side almost 6 and almost 3. Our little Saint in heaven was our second pregnancy. We are due around my birthday! I go in after Labor Day to do an 8 week scan. I’m still pretty surprised as it was a “let’s just see what happens” and have been for the past 5 months.
I’m here for you pregnancy after loss mommas! Our second was a loss at 22 weeks.
Hi there! Found out August 12th that we were expecting, with a BFP. This baby was for sure a surprise but a great one! Estimated DD is April 18, Dad is also an Aries ♈️ First prenatal appointment is September 20th.
Hey all! I'm Lea, 26, and this will be my second pregnancy. I have a 17 month old girl that I'm a sahm to. I started testing positive over the weekend and had hcg levels of 79 on Tuesday and 149 yesterday. I have PCOS and was on bc(it was the same with my first) so a total surprise! With being so, so early I go back and forth on excitement and paranoia the little bean won't stick. As long as all goes well I'm hoping to have as close a group as I do with my daughter! My first US will be September 27, so a long, anxious wait.
Hi everyone! ☺️ I’m Shannon and at about 32, this is my first pregnancy! Wow, I still can’t believe it is real - unplanned and just found out, but so thrilled to be 6 weeks pregnant with TWINS.
It’s so nice to read all of your intros and know there are other mommas out there going through similar things now! Hope everyone is doing well! ❤️
Ladies, I woke up this morning with red bleeding and it is continuing and I’m passing small clots. I’m pretty sure I’m going thru a miscarriage. I called and was told just to call my office Monday
since this will be our second loss (much earlier this time) it just breaks my heart. Praying for you April moms my heart is with you.
Hey Everyone! I’m Courtney. My husband and I just got our positive 8/10. We have been going through IVF for the past two years, and this is our first positive. I have already had three blood tests to check my HCG and it’s rising like a champ! We get to do our first ultrasound in a week so we are super excited for that!
Hi all, I’m Cass! I got 2 positive pregnancy tests this past Monday 8/14. This will be my husband and I’s first baby, so I’m a little nervous with my first pregnancy! I’m not sure what to expect, so any advice from experienced moms would be great! Estimated due date is April 25. First appt is at 6 weeks & I’m so excited!
Hello! I'm Allura. I'm 21 and I'm six weeks. We just found out Monday. I wasn't expecting how bad this nausea and bloating would be xD. Our baby should be due April 11th! I'm so new to all this I don't understand half the terms people are using but I like the discussion post! I hope to find more people to emphasize with honestly. These symptoms are pretty rough, it feels like my period but times ten. Everyone I've spoken to so far has said that their pregnancy was really easy and they didn't even notice for months. I keep thinking I'm silly or overreacting but this has been pretty miserable the past few days... I really hope I'm not the only one who's feeling a little miserable right now?
Hi there! My name is Jasmine. I’m 33. Just got my BFP today at 10 dpo <3. This is my 3rd pregnancy. I was pregnant about 10 years ago and suffered a miscarriage then an ectopic pregnancy the first two times so I pray this pregnancy goes all the way o:) ! I’m excited to be be apart of this community and look forward to taking this journey together. Wishing you all safe and healthy pregnancies!
Hi everyone! I’m Cait, I’m 32 and this is my second pregnancy. I have a 20 month old son. I found out super early on 8/1 and am 6 weeks 3 days along! Due date is 4/12. So far I haven’t had the nausea kick in, but my boobs are pretty sore and I get really intense waves of fatigue. Anyone else still breastfeeding while pregnant? Wishing everyone healthy pregnancies!!
Hi everyone! My name is Michelle and I can’t tell you how happy I am to be here. :) I’m turning 30 this week, FTM, been trying to two years so this is a huge miracle. I just had surgery to open my fallopian tubes in may, and clearly it worked! My estimated due date is 4/20, and I have my first ultrasound next Friday. Since this is my first time being pregnant and it took us so long to get here, I have a ton of anxiety. But I’m trying really hard to stay positive! So thankful for a community like this.
Welcome Michelle! I’m 32 and a FTM too. We’d been trying for 18 months and my first US isn’t until 9/11, so I’m a bit anxious about everything being okay!
@ cait still breastfeeding my little guy! He turns one in about two weeks. Going to try to keep going because I love nursing him and hoped to nurse him til age 2. I’ll see if I can tandem nurse the two of them for a couple months (they’ll be 20 months apart)
Hi everyone! I just found out I’m pregnant through IVF on Monday! It’s my first pregnancy and it’s been a journey to get here and I’m so excited to be pregnant. I’m due April 25!
Hello! I’m Courtney (35) and this is my 3rd pregnancy. I have a 7 (boy) and 4.5 (girl) y/o. While this pregnancy wasn’t necessarily planned like the first two, we are really excited! My first scan isn’t until 9/19 so for now we are just playing the waiting game. I’m a little apprehensive about the age gaps, but even from this group I know I’m not alone with bigger gaps between kids and families have their ways of working out. Wishing everyone the very best!
@melyrae Thanks for sharing! I’d also hoped to go til 2, so we’re about 4 months away from that. It’s already starting to get a bit uncomfortable though! I’d love for him to wean himself around when my colostrum comes in but he loves the comfort so I’m not sure how that’s gonna go.
Hi all, I’m in the UK and we have just found out we’re expecting our first next April, which makes me about 5-weeks pregnant. We’re both super excited!
In the UK you don’t get a scan until 12 weeks….it’s going to be a LONG (and anxious!) wait!
Hello!! 4th! Time mama here with my first April baby! I am allegedly 6 weeks and due on the 16th, but my cycles have been looooooooong since getting them back. So I dont trust that date yet. Plus I feel great if I'm actually 6 weeks 🤣. So I'm super skeptical. I have a 6 year old boy, a 4 year old boy, and a 1 year old boy. They were all born in July so I am very disoriented right now 🤣🤣. Id be equally happy with another boy, but maybe April is our lucky girl month. We're trying to break a family streak here. 4 generations of nothing but boys coming down from my husbands paternal great grandfather. Calling the midwife today to see about getting a dating ultrasound. Happy to be here and I cant wait to get to know y'all!!
Allura: Apparently some women love pregnancy and get off scott free. Welcome to the club of pregnancy misery ❤️ 4 deep and I'm obviously a glutton for punishment 🤣 Its not abnormal to be miserable the entire time and struggle with a wide range of symptoms. But I promise the baby at the end is worth every single miserable second. You are not silly or over reacting and you are in good company!
Cait: I am still breastfeeding! I breastfed through my second pregnancy and tandemed those two through my third. My oldest weaned in my third pregnancy, and now I am tandemig through my fourth with my 4 and 1 year old. I'm anticipating that I will at minimum tandem this new baby and my one year old when my April baby is born.

@tuxielove93 Thanks for sharing! So nice to hear such a positive story! My son loves it and I love the connection with him… I’m just hoping the discomfort doesn’t get worse.
Hello! I’m Jeannice. This is my second pregnancy with my husband. We lost our daughter to a MMC this past June and just found out a couple weeks ago I’m pregnant again. Based on my LMP, our baby is due 04/22/23. I’m 37, but will be 38 when I deliver. This will hopefully be our first earth side baby. We’re excited, but I’m also really scared and anxious. After losing our daughter, I am dealing with the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with PAL. So I guess you could say I’m cautiously optimistic. Labs look good so far and now just waiting for our first scan on 08/28. Wish us luck!
Hi everyone! I’m 29. I got my first positive last Wednesday after a long journey with fertility treatments and IVF. After a lot of disappointments, this feels really surreal. First ultrasound is next week, and it can’t come soon enough. I’m trying to stay positive and focus on excitement despite a lot of nervousness. Fingers crossed!!
Hi mamas, My name is Michelle, I'm 8weeks pregnant today. Due date April 4th, but mine are always a lil "over cooked." Lol. My first was induced at 42weeks, 9lb 4oz. My 2nd was 41+3 at 9lb 10oz. We waited a lil while before deciding on trying for a 3rd. My youngest just turned 5yrs in July. I can't believe we're heading back to baby stage again but couldn't be happier. First appointment n ultrasound is this coming Wednesday. Can't wait!
Hello, I feel like I'm just sneaking into the end of the April!!
My EDD is 4/26. This is my second pregnancy, my son is 4.5 (I was induced a week before my due date with him due to pre-eclampsia). We also have a 2 yr old collie who has been extra clingy to me the last 3 days, she's so snuggly and adorable.
My obgyn who delivered my son has since moved away so I made my first appt with another provider from that same practice, and trying not to be nervous about that. I loved my first doctor and I am hoping she worked with good people!
I just this morning started noticing increased smell sensitivity, which I also had pretty early last time! Like I remember suddenly coffee smelled terrible to me and it was a little eeehhhh this morning, but hahah I needed it so I added a bit more creamer than I usually do. I found myself extra sleepy this afternoon, but idk if it's too soon for that to be a symptom of pregnancy or just life lol.
I am close with some mamas from my last bump - about 6 of us moved to a
private slack instead of Facebook where others went, so throwing that
out there now 😉.
Hi I’m Ariel. I’m 32 and this will be my first. My EDD is 4/26 and I’m 5 weeks and 1 day. I found out at 3 weeks and 4 days so time is moving by very slowly lol. I get my first ultrasound at 7 weeks on 9/8. Cautiously optimistic right now
Hi everyone!! I'm Jackie, and I'm 31. We just found out we're pregnant with our second child, and we're over the moon! My EDD is April 26th. Our daughter is just shy of 19 months currently.
I was in survival mode for most of my first pregnancy as we were in the midst of an international move while working full time, so I never managed to join one of the due date groups that I've heard so many great things about! Definitely looking to be better plugged in and social this go around:) Hope everyone is feeling well and getting lots of rest!
Hey! I'm Kayla! First time pregnancy, at about 5 weeks right now, and I'll be 27 by the time BB (hopefully!) comes on April 26 (ish?).
My partner and I didn't really plan it, we weren't hoping to start our family for another year, plus I have PCOS, so I was super surprised to see two lines to be entirely honest lol
I'm an overreader (damn Internet), so I'm pretty much in a constant panic that something is going to go wrong - quitting caffeine and nicotine has not helped ease my anxieties lol!
Impatiently waiting on my first doctors appointment on September 13th & hopefully will hear back from a midwife soon so I can swap to her care ASAP!
@ Tuxie Ah! Thank you so much for the reply! It's definitely a comfort! I'm very excited to meet my little one in April! I'm sure as soon as I have that first ultrasound it'll all feel worth it. I've had a hard time getting my insurance swapped over and getting appointments made so it might be awhile!! Thankfully my symptoms have calmed down slightly. Although, I've traded nausea for zero appetite and cravings that are intense, but come and go in the blink of an eye. I've never had hormones so strong!! It's been interesting. Hearing you have so many makes me feel better though, so thank you!
Hello! I’m Casey (32 F) and this is my first pregnancy. My due date right now is April 25th but I’m suspicious I may have ovulated a few days late so maybe a couple days after that!
Today that makes me 5 weeks 3 days and my first prenatal appointment is September 11th! So far feeling pretty good :) we are finding it hard to wait these few weeks for the appointment, I feel like I’ll be more secure/excited once we see little bean and confirm all is as expected!
I would love to connect with those with similar due dates!
Re: Introductions
It’s so nice to read all of your intros and know there are other mommas out there going through similar things now! Hope everyone is doing well! ❤️
since this will be our second loss (much earlier this time) it just breaks my heart. Praying for you April moms my heart is with you.
Mid- April due date, 5th pregnancy at 38yo with 4 Littles aged 3 to 7. Not a planned thing, but excited nonetheless!
Congratulations, ladies!
