Introduce yourself! hello everyone, i’m ileana, i’m 30 yrs old & this is my 6th pregnancy but expecting our 4th baby! i have a 6 yr old son, a 2 yr old son, an 11 month old daughter & i’m 8 weeks pregnant!
Due date? january 28
How'd you find out? i found out the day my 2 yr old turned 2. i was feeling sad thinking how the season of having 2 under 2 had just ended. my husband joked saying “imagine we end up having 3 under 3?” and we decided to take a pregnancy test just to rule it out, and to our surprise we got a positive! so we’re now preparing for 3 under 3 🤭
Tell us more about yourself (other kids/pets/spouse/job/hobbies, etc)! Whatever you feel like sharing: i’m a sahm and i homeschool our 6 yr old son! we have 2 guinea pigs, a kitten, 3 roosters & 9 chickens! they’re still not at an egg laying age, they’re a few months old. i raised them since they hatched from their eggs, so we’re going all in into backyard chickens 😊 i’ve been married to my husband for 7 years but we’ve been together for 12.
How are you feeling? baby is great but mom is struggling, the fatigue is horrible this time around & the nausea keeps me sick all day long.. i’ve never felt like this with my previous babies but i hear it clears up by the 2nd trimester.
Introduce yourself! My name is Caitlin, I am 36, will be 37 when baby arrives and have 5 kids at home already. My husband and I are a blended family so I have a 17f from prior, he has 12f & 8f from before and together we have 4.5 yr old twins (m/f). We have been trying since Jan, had 2 losses- 1st in feb and 2nd in April and now are happily 8 weeks pregnant.
Due date? January 27th
How'd you find out? Had a feeling from the missed period and food aversions/ nausea, so took an at home test
Tell us more about yourself (other kids/pets/spouse/job/hobbies, etc)! Whatever you feel like sharing: in addition to our 5 kids we have a 3 year old Husky 🐶 2 budgies 🐦 and our 8 yr old is begging for a kitten 😺🤦♀️. My husband and I both work full time, and my MIL lives with us and is my sanity saver and sanity loser all at the same time 😆 but I wouldn't trade her for the world. ❤️
How are you feeling? Feeling overall not too bad, just crazy exhaustion😴 from a prescription for nausea🤢 and a lot of anxiety 😰 after the 2 losses- every time I wake up, go to washroom or have any teeny tiny cramp or discharge. Trying to keep positive vibes as per doctors orders and leave everything else in God's hands.
Hi!! I’m Ellie. I will be a first time mom after suffering an early miscarriage in March (cycle before this!), and experiencing infertility for 3 years. After metformin, Letrozole, and progesterone, we are SO grateful for our lil babe.
My due date is 1/2/26 and I’m 28.
I found out at 9dpo, and confirmed with betas a few days later.
We have two beagle pups and they are going to be the best older sisters to our baby. I work full time so I’m very nervous about what life will be like post birth. I have wanted to be a mom for my whole life and I am so blessed to have had a great 12 week scan, and trying my best keeping faith that everything will be ok. Pregnancy after loss is tough, especially when it’s so close together. Wishing all of you the best pregnancy journey!
Hi everyone! My name is Kat and I am 29. We are due on January 8. We started trying on our wedding anniversary in March and got pregnant in April. I wasn’t expecting it to happen quite that quickly, but here we go.
My current worry is that I’m 11 weeks and 5 days and I have no bump. I guess that’s normal for a first baby, but it almost feels like it isn’t real. Couldn’t get an appointment until week 14, which is frustrating, but it’s okay. I know there will be many more.
My hobbies include reading, painting, movies, board games, and video games. My husband and I are both indoor people. If anyone has any good pregnancy book recommendations, I want to get started on learning.
I hope everyone is feeling okay. We’re almost out of trimester one!
@knottieead4bc160793aea7 it's very unlikely you'd have a bump this early on! Keep in mind your little bub is the size of a lime today. Also really depends on the shape of your body. With my first, I started seeing a bump form under my breasts around 14 weeks. But I ended up with a HUGE bump at the end of pregnancy. Some of my friends had little cute basketball bumps by end of their pregnancies.

My name is Andree, and I am in Houston! I am a first time mom pregnant currently at 13 weeks! This has all been exciting and my husband I feel so thankful to be on this journey. We have been praying for this miracle for about 3 years now, and God always has the perfect timing!
Due date? January 7, 2026
How'd you find out? Random urge to test at while cramping, thinking it was period cramps and pain. Had one test left, I was not hopeful but something told me to test, so I did and sure enough, that faded line popped up. My heart stopped, cried for a long time, just thanking God and I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night!
Tell us more about yourself (other kids/pets/spouse/job/hobbies, etc)! Whatever you feel like sharing: I lead worship at a church, I am a nursing student about to finish my course in December and hoping to test for NCLEX sometime in January! I am passionate about birth, I am a birth doula and look forward to joining an L&D unit as a nurse after spending a good amount of time with baby 🩵
How are you feeling? I am feeling so thankful, every day. So hungry, no nausea, no vomiting, just hunger and fatigue, but all is good! We are having a baby boy and it’s what I had desired, we are just over the moon for baby and thank God we get to do this!

How'd you find out? Random urge to test at while cramping, thinking it was period cramps and pain. Had one test left, I was not hopeful but something told me to test, so I did and sure enough, that faded line popped up. My heart stopped, cried for a long time, just thanking God and I couldn’t sleep the rest of the night!
Tell us more about yourself (other kids/pets/spouse/job/hobbies, etc)! Whatever you feel like sharing: I lead worship at a church, I am a nursing student about to finish my course in December and hoping to test for NCLEX sometime in January! I am passionate about birth, I am a birth doula and look forward to joining an L&D unit as a nurse after spending a good amount of time with baby 🩵
How are you feeling? I am feeling so thankful, every day. So hungry, no nausea, no vomiting, just hunger and fatigue, but all is good! We are having a baby boy and it’s what I had desired, we are just over the moon for baby and thank God we get to do this!
