Introduce yourself: My name is Bekah and I am 32

 Due date: September 12

 How you found out: I was out of town with my family for Christmas and was not planning on testing until I got home. However, I was not feeling any PMS symptoms, which is really abnormal for me. I decided to test the morning before we left on an early flight and it was very positive. 

 Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I have been with my husband for almost 14 years and married for 8 years. We have a 19 month old son and a 8 year old dog. I enjoy reading, cooking, and recently started doing sourdough (I know I am 6 years too late but I am really liking it!)
 **Trigger warning: Before having my son, I had 3 miscarriages (including 2 D&Cs). I went in for bloodwork and found a few things that maybe contributes to miscarriages but nothing for sure. I did some other tests and the Drs suspected uterine scarring from my surgeries. I had to have 2 hysteroscopies and my uterus never was 100% clear. But we decided to start taking some medications and trying again. We got pregnant with my son, which honestly felt like a miracle. He is just the absolute best and we debated if we should try again. We decide to try because we would regret it if we didn’t at least try. I had another hysteroscopy in September of this year and starting trying for baby #2. I am really nervous about this pregnancy but trying to be hopeful. 

 How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?: not a ton of symptoms yet. I am feeling a little more tired than normal

Hi!

I'm Jessie. 30 year old Canadian.

I found out when my period was a couple days late (not unusual for me. Been dealing with infertility for over a year, suspected endometriosis + partial septate uterus). I am on the waitlist for surgery to remove the septum and check for endo. I was told I'd likely get the surgery in February but then 3 days before Christmas I decided to take a test and finally got my first ever positive!

I knew my husband (Tom) would be home an hour later so I scrambled to run to the store for a gift (a book called "You're My Little Baby), wrapped it and told him Santa came early and left something for him.

We know that I will be a higher risk pregnancy due to the untreated issues, but it's totally possible to carry to term and do a natural birth, I do just have a higher than average risk of complications.

Due September 1st (5 days before my husband's birthday). Have my first prenatal appointment this coming Monday.

We got married in 2024 (also in September!) and have 3 cats, Cleo, Alastor, and Niffty.

Tom is an architectural designer, I work in advertising. We are artsy/geeks between his love for anime, Pokemon and video games, and my love for books, musical theatre, and dungeons and dragons.

Feeling very scared/overwhelmed. But my best friend who lives a few blocks away just had a baby 6 months ago and has already been a wealth of support and knowledge. Only symptom so far is tender breasts.

Hi,
Not quite sure of due date- never can remember first day of period. Due either 1st 4th or 9th of Sept.

Found out bc I felt super bloated and then realized my period was way late. Took test nye and the lines showed up quick and dark!

Surprise bc I turn 46 in Feb.
I have a 14 and a 13 yr old.

My chances of getting pregnant are about 1% and then miscarriage is about 80% likely.

I had a miscarriage when I was 24 but I enjoyed every minute of those 3 months.

So I’m going to enjoy every minute of this, no matter how long I have this baby.

Hugs everyone.

Symptoms mainly bloating and tiredness. A food aversion to fried chicken already.

Hello everyone and congratulations:) I am 35 years old. My husband and I have two children already, 10 and 5 years old. We have been going back and forth on trying for one more and finally decided to go for it a couple months ago. We were pleasantly surprised how quickly we got a positive test. I have been tracking my menstrual cycle including ovulation and based on timing of everything and date when our test was a clear positive it’s looking like my due date is September 8th/9th. 

Before going out and celebrating Christmas Eve I thought it would be a good idea to test considering my period was expected 3 days later and we got a very faint positive result. I waited two days to test again and that’s when our test was very clear. We were both very excited, however TRIGGER WARNING due to me experiencing a miscarriage once before, about 7 years ago, we will likely wait until baby is a little further along to tell our children and family. 

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and my husband is a Barber and Barbershop owner. We both are pretty busy most days but we do enjoy going on family outings with our kids on the weekends and exercising. Recently I have been really drawn to exploring different recipes, mostly dinners or baked goods, online. 

As far as symptoms go, I have been feeling very bloated since just before a started testing, some mild cramping here and there and have noticed fatigue will hit me at random times of the day.

Hello :-)

My name is Christine, I'm 34. I've got 4 living children and had 2 losses in the past, so hopefully this will be my 5th earth-side baby ❤️

We've been ttc since May and found out with a super faint line on December 22nd. My 

EDD is September 1st.

So far feeling very tired, smelling extra sensitive, bit of mild "cramping," but very excited

Hi all, thank you for having me here.  I’m Polly and I am in Scotland.  I’m 42 , my partner Barry is 40 and between us we hve 4 children.  My two are older kids 18 and 16 plus two step children 20 and 11.  We also have a gorgeous Cockapoo Freddie who has just turned 2 

me and my partner have been trying for 5 years to have a baby, just never using protection throughout our relationship.  We got pregnant twice and both times lost the baby days after finding out.  This year we are planning to get married in April and looking forward to meeting our little miracle in September (possibly August as I’ll need a C-section due to previously having one with my daughter)<div>
</div><div>I recently found out I was pregnant when I was 5 days late, them lines came up so dark and so fast before the line for the test to say it worked did.  I’m hopeful this means we will get past 5 weeks as the other tests did not come up this quickly or so dark.

right now I’ve been feeling very nauseous, tired and tender breasts, a bit of cramping but I think that’s the ligaments moving and stretching.</div>

hi everyone!!

Introduce yourself: my name is Gabby.

Due date: EDD 9/4/26

How you found out: I just knew I was, I could tell by the cramping I had. It felt very similar to the first time I was pregnant with my daughter. I didn’t want to eat many foods and I decided to take a test a few days after Christmas and it was so light that it was “line eyes” but I knew so I kept testing everyday and saw the progression (I stopped after about 4 days)

Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
I have a husband, we have been together 10 years. An 11 year old step son, and 2 and half year old girl. I work full time as a nurse educator but also homeschool my oldest. I like to read, do arts and crafts, make tee shirts, and doing outside!

How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I feel very happy, nervous for the first appointment but putting my trust in God. I also am feeling mom guilt for my other children but know that’s just my emotions. So yes, very emotional some days and slightly nauseous with some cramping and breast soreness but that’s it.

Congrats to everyone!! ❤️
