Hi, I'm 26.. Got married 10-12-13... Due 10-25-14! This is my first baby.. I'm an EMT/Phlebomtomist working in a men's prison. I'm also an active equestrian. I have ridden and trained horses my entire life... Yes, I'm still riding lol. So, hello fellow mommies! I'm So excited!
I am due October 16 (by my calculations) first appointment is Feb 27, I can't wait! STM, my son was born Dec. 10 2012. I am 27, married, SAHM! ;-) From Michigan!
I'm 27, a full time nanny and I live in Georgia. My EDD is October 18th. Wow still can't believe I'm pregnant. My husband and I have been married five years. This will be our first and I'm a bundle of nerves.
Hi! I'm mostly just lurking for now until I can actually see my OB in two weeks, but I BFP'd on Valentine's Day and tentatively have a due date of October 21st... which is the day after our 7th wedding anniversary. (Talk about timing...)
However, per the CBEFM, I apparently ovulate really late in my cycle, so Halloween/early November might be a more accurate due date. We'll see. 2nd Beta test is Tuesday and an U/S is on Friday.
ETA: I also have T1D and will probably spend a good chunk of time here and on the HR board.
Although I feel like I know ya'll just a bit as I have been trying to read forums for the last week, I am finally getting around to a proper intro.
I am 32 and my husband and I have been TTC for some time now. I have PCOS, so that added some extra hoopla. I got a BFP on February 13. Valentine's day was extra special this time around. We just kept starring at each other in disbelief at the fancy restaurant... apparently, we needed more than 24 hours to allow the new information to soak in before going out in public with this grand secret!
(The EDD is October 17. This child is our first; this pregnancy is our first.)
We are currently living in Northern Wisconsin to be near family, as this is where I was raised. We moved from the San Francisco Bay Area in June of 2013, and prior to that my home for 8 years was Colorado. *If you are traveling to any of these areas and if you so desire, I will happily offer foodie places and 'adventurey ideas.'
(My DH and I currently disagree about determining the sex. ...if the little one chooses to show their stuff when that time comes. I suppose it is a good thing that we have a while to make a joint decision.)
I look forward to traveling this journey with you.
Hi everyone. Was just quietly moving on along on the "regular" route: engaged last year, then bought a house, finally getting around to planning the wedding when Surprise! A BFP. Due date is October 18th and couldn't be happier (albeit still a little shell-shocked). I'm 36, DH almost 36, and we live in Victoria, Canada.
I got a bfp on valentines day my due date is October 22nd.:) my boyfriend and I have been together for three years going on four so we are pretty excited. I'm also nervous to tell my dad because he is middle eastern and is going to be mad I feel like so that's giving me some anxiety
Hi everyone! My name is Mel. I am 26, have a 5-year-old son, engaged, and coming to this board as a surrogate mother for a wonderful couple in France! I know that is a bit different because I won't have a baby to care for at the end, but I was hoping to join you with the ups and downs of pregnancy. I was part of an expecting club when I was pregnant with my son and it was such a great source of information!! I haven't been pregnant in a while so I think I've forgotten a lot of things by now. However, if you would rather I didn't join, that is absolutely fine with me, let me know! I am not easily offended, so I promise I won't be upset. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant, went for the ultrasound today and found ONE solid heartbeat. YAY! My official due date is Octobers 20th, and we were measuring one day ahead today. Nice to "meet" you all.

I think you are giving a family a pretty amazing gift. It's pretty awesome that you are up for that challenge. As far as I am concerned you are more than welcome here.
Hello everyone!! I'm Stephanie, due October 20th with #2, I have a good feeling about this time around, I miscarried 4 times before, but was overweight and didn't exercise. I fixed that problem lost 80lbs and just hit 6 weeks today!!! My husband is in the Navy and we have been married for 9 years now. We just moved to Florida, and our daughter(7yrs old) is our princess and she has been wanting a sibling for years now.... I kind of want to scream I'm PREGNANT from the roof tops, but I guess telling everyone on here works too lol.... for now!!! I hope everyone has a happy and healthy 8 more months!!!
I am Kristen and I am due October 31st (spooky!). I already have one amazing little boy who will be three in May. This was our 4th (and final) IVF attempt and we just got the great news on Friday - BFP!. I had a m/c in August and a BFN in November. My Mr. and I have been married for 5 years and he is the best.
Congrats to everyone!

Hello October moms! I live in good ole Oklahoma. I'm due on 10/26/14. This is my first pregnancy so a lot of new things. I'm going to school for surgical technology, and we are during some clinical rounds right now, so nausea isn't my best friend currently. Haha I've been with my fiancée for 2 & 1/2 years we just got engaged back in December and had this little surprise come up, we were planning on starting a family soon anyways! God just decided a little earlier than we did!
Hi everyone! I'm Cori and my due date is 10/26. I just turned 30 in December, and my husband will be 30 in September, so he'll be the fourth generation in his family to be 30 when their first child is born.
We live near Seattle, WA and got married just over 7 years ago -- tried to conceive last year with no luck, then got pregnant first try this time. We're ecstatic!
Hi, I'm Ashley from Indiana. DH and I are expecting baby #2 October 25th. DD will be turning two March 1st and she's super excited about having a sibling
Hi y'all! I'm Dani from Memphis. I'm 26 years old, have owned a marketing management company for 5 years, and love mango. My SO is Zach. He's 27, owns an application development company, and is the first person I've met who loves mango as much as me. I'm a first generation American (family from Barbados). Zach came to the states for college from Nairobi.
This little sweet pea is our first very pleasant surprise. I initially got a BFN on 2/15, but it was a tad too early. Before heading out on a leadership/team-building retreat, I decided to test again to be sure and... voila! There's a baby in there. :-)
I can't wait to grow closer to all of you ladies, share happiness and tears, and hopefully develop some lifelong friendships along the way.
Proud First-Time Mommy From Memphis, TN!

I can't wait to meet my Kenyan-Bajan-American sweet pea.
