Re: Introduction
Introduce yourself: Hi, my name is Jess. I live in Vancouver, Canada. This is my second proper Bump group (I departed one quite quickly after my loss earlier this year and my first was for March 2023 babes and we are now a core group of us on FB).
Due date: May 6, 2026
How you found out: I have been testing since 8/22. Got a solid blue line on a Clearblue early test. Started testing with Premom hcg tests to watch line progression (previous chemical pregnancy in Feb 2025 after no line progression so a bit worried this time around). So far the line is getting darker fast.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I am married to my husband of three years and we have a 2.5 year old son. I enjoy listening to audio books and doing anything else in the world to avoid the ironing. I work in Healthcare Operations and have a very, very supportive boss thankfully.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I'm anxious. I don't want to lose this rainbow baby and so am trying to be cautious. I'm having a few cramps, hip pain and am nauseous if I'm hungry or smell the garbage (sick).
I'm brand new here, this is my first pregnancy. My due date is May 5th, 2026. My husband and I have been trying for exactly a year and I finally changed methods to using the Kegg fertility detector this round and here we are!
We live outside of Seattle, Washington. (But Jess I'm a fellow Canadian, originally from Edmonton!). I'm a lawyer working for a nonprofit. My husband and I have 2 kitties and in my free time you'll find me hiking or kayaking and just generally enjoying the PNW.
So far I have almost no symptoms, just a bit of cramping here and there and I swear I am already peeing like 20 times a day. I am trying to manage excitement because of how early it is but I think we're going to tell my parents this weekend.
I currently work as a Histology Technician at a hospital.
My Due date is May 8
Honestly it hasn't fully sunk in for me yet. My only symptom is a better sense of smell. I had two hard pregnancies and a miscarriage between my son and daughter. I had pre-eclampsia during my first pregnancy and had Vasa previa and velementous cord insertion with my daughter causing her to be born at 34 weeks, which means I will be stressing and overthinking this entire pregnancy.
I started noticing some different types of “cramping” at 8/9 DPO and on the morning the 11DPO my BBT had shot way up. I decided to test with a Premom HCG strip and got a faint line, and confirmed with a first response test. I’ve taken a couple other tests since all coming back positive including this morning which was the first day of my missed period. Now it’s feeling real!
My husband and I got married in April of this year, but next month will be our 10 year anniversary since we first started dating. We have a 5-year old Aussalier, so our weekend are usually spent out on walks or bike rides.
I'm not positive of my due date just yet but an educated guess would be about May 6th. I have always had a very irregular period so its really hard to say exactly until we get our first ultrasound on the 23rd, so hopefully that still keeps us in the May 2026 group!
We found out because after having my nexplanon birth control implant removed from my arm in early May of this year, I haven't had my period come back AT ALL. So I bought and was going through tons of pregnancy tests lol. Until finally, exactly a week ago, one came back very faint but positive! I have been taking tests every day or two since then and the line keeps getting darker and darker! Which is why I think i was about 3-4 weeks when I got the positive test. After explaining this to my doctor, they agreed that they think I'd be about 8 weeks be the week of the 22nd.
We have two other children, both boys, ages 8 and 10, so we are hoping for a girl this time but honestly, a healthy baby is the real goal!! It has been quite a while since I've been pregnant, I had my first two in my early to mid 20s, so I'm sure things will be (and feel) a bit different this time around haha. I work in a deli currently and my fiance is an HVAC regional service manager. His job is much more impressive than mine, I come home smelling like ham. 🤣 But its fast paced, and works for us in this season of life. Its very different from what Ive done in the past but honestly, the exercise I get beats my old office job, and there's literally no stress to bring home after work, so I wont complain.
As for symptoms, the first noticeable ones that made me reach for (another) pregnancy test was how often I was having to pee, and my food cravings! I have been craving Isaly's ham and tomatoes like crazy lol. And I have to pee pretty much every 37 minutes hahaha. I have also been absolutely exhausted and taking naps most days, going to be much earlier than usual, well at least when I can. I drive our boys to and from school every day (every other week. On the other weeks theyre at their father's house) which is an hour each way. Which is exhausting, its a kind of ridiculous commute haha but it is what it is, and their bus rides when we lived in town were just as long so now I'm just their own personal chauffeur.
Im super excited to be here, but am also anxiously awaiting our first appointment to see that beating little heart as my first pregnancy before I had my 2 boys ended with a miscarriage very early on. Im trying to temper my excitement but its not working at all. Here's to praying that all of us here have happy, healthy, and strong little babies come May of next year!! Can't wait to get to know you all! I still talk to a few of the mamas I met here on the bump from my expecting November 2014 group for my first baby!! 🥰
About 2 weeks ago I got a bit nauseous while eating breakfast, took a test, and lo and behold, I’m pregnant again. I’m excited but also very nervous because I’m only 5 months pp and I’m scared of another stillbirth.
Feels crazy to be excited this early, but we are telling family this weekend!
Due date: 14 May 2026
How you found out: We tracked my ovulation window to conceive and then tracked my menstrual for first signs. We took the test on my third day of being late and + test!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? ) 10 year old. No pets at our home; we pet sit instead.
Job? Business Owner -BudgetLuvn LLC (Budget Coach) I help individuals/ families gain clarity through budget organizing and setting realistic goals!
Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) Coffee/Tea dates are the best! Sometimes we simply warm up a nice drink and turn on some tunes then dance into the night.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Feeling great most of the time with small waves of emotional reactions. Tearing up is my new favorite pasttime.
Due date: May 5th
How you found out: I just had a feeling the day before my period so I took a test. And then a second. And then made a doctors appointment to confirm since the lines were FAINT.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) This is our first pregnancy. I have a cat Willow 17yrs and dog Poppy 3 yrs. I work as a children’s therapist. I enjoy reading, cooking, baking, sewing. My partner is Army, he enjoys hiking, puzzles, video games.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally?) some nausea mostly when I am trying to sleep. Emotionally I have been all over the place. Mostly anxious, some excitement, a little numb, like I haven’t fully realized I’m pregnant. Just moving to Anchorage so feeling a little nervous since I don’t have friends or family in the area. Thinking about joining support groups.
Due Date: May 5th
How we found out: was just taking a test to see as we were trying, fully expected it to be negative as it was our 9th cycle trying before starting some fertility treatments. Doubted that I had seen the second line and went and woke my husband to check if we he also saw the second line. Immediately took another one to make sure it wasn't wrong lol.
My husband and I just celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary which was 2 weeks before getting the positive so we've been saying it's our anniversary gift!
Feeling nervous and anxious, praying that everything will go well and baby is healthy. Having some on and off nausea but mainly sore boobs and tiredness
My due date is May 4th (we are huge Star Wars fans, so this is really exciting!)
This is our rainbow baby - we had a missed miscarriage in March. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic this time around. I have PCOS, so we’ve had to use Letrozole to conceive all 3 times. We’ve been trying for just over a year for this second child, so we were about to consider more aggressive fertility treatments and were so surprised that I got pregnant again this cycle!
My due date is 5/9.
