Re: Introductions!
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.
**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.
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.
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.
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>
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!! ❤️
My name is Sarah and it looks like I’m due towards the 15-20th of September!
Otherwise we are very much excited and thankful for this unexpected blessing. I’ve felt bloated and incredibly tired I forgot how quickly the exhaustion sets in and even more so with a toddler to chase around. Congratulations everyone!
Due date: 23 September
How you found out: We've been ttc, second month trying since our molar pregnancy D&C/ miscarriage in the summer. I had some symptoms and tested a bit early and have a light positive line.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I have lovely 9 year old twin daughters, a husband, a dog and a hamster. This will be my third, and most likely final child, and my husband's first.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Trying to stay hopeful that this one sticks, as I have a history of early first trimester losses. I have some light cramping/stretchy feeling in my uterus, and sore breasts. I have struggled with sleep and quite bad anxiety for about a week which isn't very typical for me, so I wonder now if that's hormone related.
We have 4 kids already: boy 12, girl 9, girl 7, and boy just turned 4 this past week. We haven’t told the kiddos yet, but I know they will be very excited. I work as an insurance adjuster and I also teach dance. Luckily it’s winter or this bloat would be very hard to cover up…. It’s like my body just automatically went back to pregnant belly shape, lol.
Baby H: 5/12/2016
I work part-time and the rest of the time I’m at home with my first born who is a couple weeks shy of 12 months! I love anything creative like painting, crocheting, and I recently got a sewing machine(that I have yet to turn on). My favorite activity lately is going for walks and on adventures with my little family.
I’m Courtney, 36 years old and just found out I’m expecting my first after 7 years of TTC!
EDD: September 19-22?
Here for allllll the advice from veteran moms and those who have gone thru pregnancy a little later. I’m already SO exhausted and overwhelmed with all the information out there. First dr appt is Jan 29.
Due date: September 11
How you found out: I normally track my cycle very closely and was one week late. Being late is normal for me so I honestly didn’t expect anything when testing but I got a positive result on Jan 8.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?
I never realized how tough pregnancy can be in the early stages! I’m nauseous, my favorite foods taste different, and I’m exhausted
Due date: September 22
How you found out: Early testing, then late period, and more testing :)
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
I am newly married, almost 3 months. First pregnancy! I am a writer, reader, and I’m getting into handicrafts like embroidery. My husband and I love playing board games. :)
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?
Fatigued, so sleepy, aches and cramps— but overjoyed and so excited!
Due date: Sep 24
I was 4 days late on period and I’m very consistent. Took two pregnancy tests and both were positive.
Married almost 11 years. I have a cat and a 2.5 year old boy. We weren’t actively trying or not trying to get pregnant, rolled the dice. Husband is disappointed he didn’t get to actively try for a kid. One and done new years baby (we were planning on actively trying for a baby come April.)
Feeling fine so far. Mostly lethargic. Hopefully this pregnancy will be as little symptomatic as my first.
My due date is September 24 (my birthday!).
I track my period and I decided to take a test after I was 3 days late because I had no PMS symptoms at all. I took a test and two more to confirm and they were all immediately positive!
I'm also a newlywed, just married at the beginning of November. I'm 26 years old and this is my first as well as my husband's. We have a 13 year old Jack Russell mix named Bella. I love to read, cook and have recently started baking as well.
I am extremely excited and still a little in shock. I thought it would take so much longer for me to get pregnant and I wasn't even actively trying! Physically I've just been very sleepy, hungry and needing to drink so much water to help my bloating which is just making me pee even more.
It's nice to meet you all as we've decided not to spread the news until the second trimester and I've been dying to share my excitement :)
EDD Sept 6
We found out on New Year’s Day. I was 5 days late and decided to test. I didn’t have any expectations, a fertility doc had told us previously our chances of naturally conceiving were very small. But I’m pregnant! Still in shock but excited.
My husband and I are high school sweethearts. We have a 19yo foster/adopted daughter who is very excited to be a big sis! We have two dogs as well.
My symptoms have been bad anxiety, bloating, fatigue, and being short of breath. Before this I’ve been active working out 3-4 times a week but now I’m struggling to do anything. I’m so tired 😭
When we told my son about my daughter when he was 8, it was lots of tears and sadness. It took him a few weeks to be happy and excited about it. I’m nervous that it will be a similar reaction but it doesn’t matter either way because now the two love each other so much and he is so patient and gentle with her.
Due date: My due date is 9/14/26
How you found out: I have been taking pregnancy tests once a month routinely, even when I was on birth control. I just went off BC at the end of November and I had a period and haven’t had one since but my cycles are often crazy so I didn’t expect to be pregnant so quickly! I randomly took a test and it was positive. I couldn’t believe it so I took a second test even though I know there really aren’t false positives.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) I have been married to my husband Josh since October of 2024. This is our first pregnancy and neither of us has any other children. We do have an assortment of pets. We have two miniature dachshunds, one Argentinian tegu, one African sideneck turtle, and a possum. I am a lawyer and my husband is a mechanic.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? I am very scared really. Not scared of going through the pregnancy. I’m just scared of losing the baby. It’s really early still for me and I have diabetes so I’m already considered high risk from the get go. I don’t have a lot of bad symptoms though. I have some cramping and a tender chest. No nausea at this point. My cousin had a baby die after being alive for only 90 minutes. A coworker of mine lost her baby at 6 months pregnant. Another coworker of mine had two infants die of SIDS. I keep trying to tell myself that the majority of pregnancies end in a healthy, living baby, but it’s hard to not worry.
Due date: 9/6/2026
How you found out: missed period and positive pregnancy test
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Have identical twin 3 year old boys, I’m a ER nurse.
Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) be with friends and family, hang out with my fiancé and kids.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? Right now just shocked, wasn’t expecting another set of twins. Nauseous and sick all the time.
After spending a lifetime of hotel management and customer service training, I’m in school for game development. I started an accelerated program January 5th, and the 20th took our first test. A huuuuge surprise (we were pricing IVF and researching clinics) and not the most ideal timing, but very excited to make it work!
Between my fiance and I this is our 5th kid, but our first together. Mine are going to be 25 and 23 before this little one is here; my bonus kids are 5 and almost 3. Even though it’s early (6 weeks Saturday) he’s going to tell them on Saturday when he takes them out to lunch - his older daughter has been telling both him and her mom since early December she wants a little brother, so maybe she knew something we didn’t. 🤔
As for symptoms, I briefly had very consistent nausea but now really only have it for the last 6 or so hours of my day, and only intermittently. I am exhausted, though, all the time. I’m pretty sure my naps count as actual sleep and not even a nap. 😂 I also have very minimal appetite, but dousing things in ranch helps appease the tiny dictator. I also have a stuffy nose but can also somehow smell *everything.*
how I found out: My oura ring kept asking me to log my period, my breast were pretty tender, and I was feeling some cramping but no period in sight so a few days past my missed period I took a test and discovered I was pregnant!
Symptoms so far: Breast tenderness, nausea, exhaustion, mild sporadic cramping/stretching. I was having some right side pain so I had an early ultrasound at 5w6d and got confirmation all was well. We even saw a heartbeat! All the same, I have still had some major anxiety that I have been trying to manage and overall just keep myself calm!

we have a 9 mo old boy who is such a delight and I’m struggling imagining trying to fit another one in when he’s such a good kid. We were not TTC and this one was an accident but after trying for 2 years for our first little one I figured this was just Gods way of moving us along.
brain and pregnancy brain hidden for me.
How you found out: I actually took a test a day before a girls trip over MLK weekend, and then missed my period during the trip. Retested 3 days later and it was positive. We had just started to consider TTC again after the New Year but didn’t think it’d happen so quickly!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
We have a 20 month old
I work in healthcare
My husband is an engineer
We enjoy cooking. Prior to our 1st baby, I liked running long distance races but haven’t found the time/balance to train with a toddler. Most of my workouts are on Peloton early in the morning while she’s still sleeping, these days.
We have a 9yo Yorkie and a 6yo cat.
We actually had to put down our sweet old 15yo retriever mix who got when he was a puppy, in January, and looking back at timing between holiday travel and my period-tracking app, we definitely conceived the day before we had to put the dog, my “first baby”, down - I like to think that maybe this is a happy coincidence.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?
the morning sickness really hit hard in the last 2 weeks
feeling a bit anxious as I just turned 38 and while I had an uncomplicated pregnancy not too long ago and no losses, being 35+ is still daunting. My first appointment is today for pregnancy confirmation 🤞
Due date: 9/29/26
How you found out: I was a few days late. I'm usually very regular, so I took a test and it was positive!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
I am a music teacher. I like to bake, read, embroider, and play with our dog. My husband likes to work on cars.
How are you feeling?
Exhausted. Nauseous, but haven't thrown up yet. I get intense hunger pangs and if I ignore them they become nausea. I have had a few moments of irrational crying, which I know is the hormones.
Feeling excited and nervous. I have pre-existing high blood pressure which makes my pregnancy more high risk, so I'm trying to keep my anxiety in check and trust my care team.
I’m Mary Hailey from Mississsippi.
I had a feeling that I was pregnant after Christmas. We were married for less than a month and he was in denial. I made him go with me to the store to buy a test. When we got back my in-laws went on a walk and we popped 3 positive test results. We have kept it fairly quiet for the most part, but I’m ready for the next appointment to tell everyone.
I’m Hannah, 29 years old and my fiancé and I are expecting our first baby sep 25.
I have PCOS and 40 day cycles, so I thought it would be very difficult for us to conceive. We weren’t being the most careful…
We found out on vacation in Puerto Rico after I was having some pretty bad PMS symptoms but my period was 6 days late. We had to wait a day to test because the grocery stores didn’t have tests and all the farmacias were closed (Sunday.)
I’ve been pretty nervous about miscarrying because my SIL miscarried before having her first and because I know how common it is.
I’m 11 weeks on Friday and at this point we’ve told all of our family and some close friends.
Weeks 6-10 were absolutely awful for me. I’ve never been so exhausted in my life, smells were making me dry heave, sciatica on my left side going crazy, nausea without throwing up if I waited more than 10 minutes to eat after feeling hungry. I’m starting to feel slightly better now but it’s on and off. My motivation is in the toilet! I hope some others can relate. I’ve also been more emotional than usual, more angry specifically. Going to target with other human beings is a nightmare.
I am a Spanish teacher and my fiancé works for the family restaurant. We have a nearly 1 year old black cat, Anakin, and a 7 year old chihuahua beagle mix, Julius.
How you found out: We had been trying for about five cycles. I was so used to getting negatives that I had stopped obsessively testing, and only tested this one time a couple days before my period “just in case” (I had no symptoms, so I assumed there would be nothing). I was shocked to see a strong positive. My fiancée had gone downstairs to the gym, and I texted him that he might want to come back up ;) We sat on the floor of the bathroom in shock and joy.
Tell us about yourself: My fiancé and I originally met in our twenties making a film. We had sweet friendship at the time but eventually lost touch. I went through a marriage and divorce in my 30s, spent many years single and rebuilding my life, and a year and a half ago woke up out of the blue to notice on my dating app from him. He then followed up with a message on social media asking to catch up ;) We reunited and fell in love. He is everything I ever asked for and more. Because of my age, we decided to have a family before getting married - but we might do a little quickie wedding in the next few months.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)? SO TIRED OMG. The fatigue is hitting so hard. Week 9 was the worst for feeling yucky, but this week is also knocking me out. Been very fortunate to not have nausea unless I have an empty stomach, but this makes me ravenously hungry. I can hardly do anything but eat and sleep and cry. Was very nervous at the start of pregnancy of what could go wrong, but feel like I’m beginning to settle as we pass each first trimester marker (ultrasound, blood tests, NIPT test) and things see okay. I am definitely hyper sensitive and tired of feeling shitty. But really hopeful to almost be out of this trimester.
Due date: 29th September
How you found out:
We had been trying for a few months and after getting a very late period (very unusual for me) in October and getting a negative test I decided to stop putting pressure on it and that it would happen when it was meant to. I waited until I was 10 days late at the end of January and tested positive! Had to hold it in all day until my husband got home
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)
This will be our first child and we are super excited! Me and my husband have been together for nearly 9 years and have been married for 1 year. I love our story of how we met, I came to California for a summer when I was 18 to work on a summer camp, we met, started dating and spent 7 years in a long distance relationship! I currently don’t work but I do have a bachelors degree in childhood and youth studies that I one day plan to put towards a career in teaching. I enjoy colouring in my spare time and as I saw someone else mention, have more recently found a hidden talent for baking and started a sourdough starter, which is so far going well.
How are you feeling (any symptoms, Emotionally)?
I’m so excited but there’s definitely a hint of nervousness, which was definitely eased a bit after my first prenatal appointment where I got to see baby and hear the heartbeat (the best sound in the world!). As many others have said the fatigue is something else!! I have been getting so tired at around 2pm, having to have a nap or I’m falling asleep on the sofa at 6pm! I’ve been really lucky so far with having no morning sickness, however I weirdly have an aversion to water so staying hydrated has been a task.
It’s so nice to meet you all, and congratulations to you all!
My name is Charlotte, I'm 34. I'm orginally from Nunavut, but I live in Ottawa, Ontario with my family.
Due date: five days before mine
How I found out: i keep track of my cycles, and I was a few days late for my next one in January. I took a test a week later in the morning before heading out with my oldest, and it was positive! My husband and I shed tears and hugged eachother in the bathroom.
About yourself: we have a 7 year old, and a 2 year old. I am a part time songwriter/singer and a stay at home mom for the little one. I love reading books while eating lol and going outside. I got married when my youngest turned 4 to my husband, and we all happy for this new one! ( most likely last baby).
I am feeling different things by day. In the beginning, I was scared to give birth again, but I knew I had to get through it and not allow fear to take over. I had a difficult birth with my second - she was born frank breech and we didn't know until I was at the hospital already at about 10 cm. She was born naturally with no pain medication, but it was intence. I stretched about 12 cm my midwife said instead of 10cm and my recovery after took almost a year.
But I'm praying for a way better birth, no complications and a healthy baby
