  • Hi all. Happy to connect with fellow mammas. I am from Bangladesh.
    Due date: Oct 7, 2025
    Got myself a home test kit after I was having tingling sensation in my stomach and was gaseous for a week. Positive results in Week 4.
    First time so very anxious, googling everything all the way.
    We are also shifting countries, moving to Poland so lots of novelty in life coming up.
  • Due date: October 16th

    How did you find out?
    This morning at 4 AM, I woke up from a dream that I was pregnant and had to use the bathroom anyway. I took a digital test, didn't look, packed it up again, and left a note for my husband saying, "Happy Birthday. Wake me up so we can check together!" When he woke me up, we checked and it was positive!

    Tell us about yourself:
    I’m 29 and live in Frankfurt, Germany, with my husband and our two cats. I work as an assistant in a finance company, love sports, and have a passion for photography—especially portraits and capturing emotions, which I hope to turn into a side business. I also enjoy needle pointing and antiques!

    How are you feeling?
    I’m beyond excited! My only symptoms so far are sore breasts (which I also get before my period) and occasional mild cramps, which I’ve read are totally normal. Today, I’ll book my first OB appointment and start looking for a midwife—quite a challenge in Germany due to the shortage.

    Fun fact!
    I lived in France twice and really love the country.
  • Hi, I love this because those are my only symptoms too!! I was getting in my head about it thinking that something was wrong. Glad to hear :)
  • Hi all.
    Happy to find this community, as there are a lot of questions I have and I want to go through with same pregnant women as myself.
    I’m Katya, 32, it’s my first pregnancy, I’m on my week 6 now, due date is October 2025.

    We’ve been together with my husband since we were 18 and now we decided that nothing can hold us back from expanding our family. And, to our both surprise I became pregnant from one effort.

    Fun fact: before I even had a pregnancy test, I was calling him and started to cry about something that worried me. He said that my reaction was untypical and I was definitely pregnant, so I said bring test then. Later that evening we found out I was 3 weeks pregnant.

    Let’s get through it together
  • Hello!! 
    My due date is 10/5/25, this is my first pregnancy!

    My fiance and I have been trying to conceive for 2+ years, but found that we needed help via IVF, and started in March of 2024. 

    We experienced a ton of setbacks (failed cycle) but we stuck through it and finally transferred our miracle baby boy on 1/17.

    We have 2 dogs, and love to stay active… like playing tennis & platform tennis, and going to the beach.  

    I am currently 5 weeks 4 days.  It has been a rocky road (to say the least), but we are ready to look forward to this next exciting chapter of our lives! 

  • Introduce yourself: I’m Kristen and I’m 39 and this will be our 5th 😳

    Due date: October 4

    How did you find out? Period was over a week late and I was getting nauseated 

    Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
    This was a big surprise! We have an 18yo, and then 8, 5, 3 who were all via IVF because of PCOS. Besides the 18 yo, I never got a positive pregnancy test without IVF, and I haven’t been on birth control in 12 years. I had been on tirzepatide for 6 months for weight loss prior to getting a positive test. I work as nursing faculty at a community college and my husband is a rad tech at one of the local hospitals. 

    How are you feeling? (First appointment? Any symptoms? Emotionally?) first appointment is in 2 weeks. My ob retired last year, so I’m nervous about seeing a new one. I had HG with the last two and I’m already starting to get sick, so it’s sparking some anxiety. Also, since this wasn’t on our bingo card for life, we are also still very shocked. Our oldest is in college, it’s expensive, and we felt like we were finally getting ahead of the budget game, but now it seems we need to put some things on pause. Life though right? 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

    GTKY: Fun fact! Tell us something unique or interesting about you! Nothing exciting, but we enjoy traveling. We will be going on a big family cruise in April. We also really enjoy Disney, but may be a while before we go back bc it’s hard to find rooms that can do 7! I’ve also starting reading for fun again that doesn’t relate to healthcare or for work (think the cliche stuff you’ve probably seen on social media). It provides a nice distraction. 
  • Hi everyone! I’m Kara and I’m 24. I’m currently 6 weeks 3 days pregnant with my first child. I’m due 10/02/2025.

    Finding out was a bit of a surprise, I didn’t feel like myself so I begged my best friend to come with me to an urgent care to see what was going on. I was so convinced that I was coming down with the flu or maybe even Covid. Turns out I was approximately 3 weeks pregnant.

    I don’t have many symptoms besides round ligament pain, which is very early, and the occasional cramping. Baby has a strong heartbeat and is perfectly fine though.

    I’m currently in school for radiology and I enjoy reading a lot. I’ve been trying to get back into it more because I have fallen off since I’ve been in school.
  • Hi👋🏼 my name is Brooke, first time mom! I’m 28years old, and I’m currently 4 weeks along.
    Due date: 10/18/24

    How did you find out?
    Took a pregnancy test a few days before my missed period, just to see. Was completely shocked and so excited to see it said pregnant!

    Tell us about yourself
    Grew up and studied dance my whole life. Full time dance instructor. I love being in nature, yoga and my pets! I have a puppy named Ruby and a cat named Delilah. I live on a farm with my husband. We love being active together. And I LOVE cooking. Also a health nut.

    How are you feeling?
    Bloody nose, breast tenderness, mild cramping. But overall I’m feeling pretty good!

    GTKY: Fun fact!
    Everyone says I’m a Maddie Ziegler(from dance moms) look alike

    Also planning to have a home birth, and would love to connect with anyone else this is too!
  • Any tips on modifying yoga for pregnancy? I take an in person class weekly and wondering when and what adjustments should be made if you have any suggestions ☺️

    Howdy! My name is Steph. I am 31 and this is my first baby.

    I am due ~October 16th (just based on the first day of my last cycle, we haven't had our first baby appointment yet).

    I've been testing a few days before my period is due for months and finally got a teeny tiny faint positive line on February 1st! I've been testing every day since and the line is now dark.

    I work in Human Resources, and my husband is a Marriage and Family Therapist. We have a 6-year-old border collie. I'm a backpacker, rock climber, reader, novice painter, and meditation enthusiast. I am hoping things align so I can have a safe and active pregnancy.

    I am tired and bloated as hell. I'm grateful to work from home so I can wear comfy clothes and take a nap on my lunch break.

    IGTKY: Fun fact!
    I took a 13-day beginner mountaineering course in September as a 'TTC Bachelorette Party' to do something big before my allowed activities change for a while. I'm so glad I did it and I can't wait to tackle more mountaineering objectives in 2026 and beyond!
