    I'm a SAHM to our 21 month old son, and am 8 weeks pregnant with our 2nd baby. I'm thrilled about our growing family but a little cautious because we had a missed miscarriage back in October 2013. So excited that we are going to become a family of FOUR by Halloween! Such a blessing. Wishing all you ladies happy and healthy pregnancies!

    Forgot to add that our due date is 10/10.

  • Good morning! I am 24 my Husband and I have been married for almost 3 years! I'm a cosmetology student with less than a month until graduation. My EDD is 10/13/14 and I couldn't be more excited. My first pregnancy ended abruptly after a miscarriage so I'm hoping (and praying) this one goes much better! It's a pleasure to meet you all and a great comfort to know I'm far from being alone!! Hooray! ;)
  • Hi everyone! My name is Sara. I'm 26 and expecting my first baby due October 12th (although O was a week late in January and date of conception suggests I'd be due more like October 20th).

    I am a full-time Registered Nurse in a very busy ER.

    It has been a very long road to becoming pregnant for me. My ex-husband and I tried for nearly 5 years with fertility testing and treatments out the wazoo! We ended up separating unfortunately and then I had surgery for endometriosis and DBF and I conceived the first time we DTD after surgery. Talk about a surprise after so many years trying with no success!

    I am 8w2d and SO excited to meet my little October pumpkin!!

  • Just found out I'm pregnant on Friday (Feb 28th), and it was a total surprise.  We have a 13 month old son, and DH and I have a history of IF, so we haven't been using BC since 2009, but I've been BFing my son, so I've only had one cycle since giving birth.  I'm not sure it's totally accurate to go based on my LMP, but the Dr. said assume that as accurate, and we'll know more at my first appointment March 20 when they'll do an ultrasound.  With that assumption, my EDD is Oct 17th!
    Me: unexplained infertility - annovulatory DH: testicular cancer survivor!! TTC since June 2009 BFP May 11, 2012 EDD January 24, 2013 June 1, 2012 - first u/s, heartbeat 124 BPM!! June 22, 2012 - heard the heartbeat 9w1d 181 BPM!! 24 hours of labor, 4 1/2 hours of pushing, and IT'S A BOY! Welcome to the world my miracle, we prayed and prayed for you, and we can't believe you're here!
  • Hi, I'm Jaime.  This will be my 3rd baby.  My first is 2 1/2 and the baby is 7 months.  I can't believe we are pregnant again so soon, but we are super excited.

    Wishing everyone a H&H 9 months!

  • Hey ladies! We are 29, living in Florida and I'm due Oct. 17th with our first! We have our first appt March 6th and are so excited! We have been on quite a journey since we started with IVF bc we wanted to prevent a genetic disorder from being passed on by using PGD. After 2 failed IVFs I felt like I may never get pregnant even though we never tried naturally. We decided to take a break from IVF and try naturally and boom we got pregnant immediately...i think I'm still in complete disbelief! The hardest thing so far is keeping it from friends and family! I am looking forward to taking on a new job as a SAHM once this little one is born! :)
    2013- 2 IVF cycles with PGD to prevent genetic disorder from being passed on. Both BFFN :(

  • Hello Ladies!  I am 34 and my DH is 38. We live about 30 miles west of Boston. This pregnancy was not expected, as I had just started to see a RE for fertility issues.  I had just been put on Prometrium and looks like that's what I may have needed to help us out.  We've been trying since 2008.  I've had two m/c and gave birth to my three year old son in the middle of that.  I have an anticipated due date of 10/12/14.  My three year old was born on 10/18/10.     

    H & H 9 months to everyone!

  • Jumping in a little warily... I'm 27, DH will be 28 next month. We're expecting our first baby on Oct 24. It was a complete surprise as we had been planning to wait until DH graduated from Dental School and I was able to find more dependable work (I am a substitute teacher) to try. So we are still adjusting to the idea of pregnancy/baby.

  • I have been lurking on the board for about a month now and realized I never introduced myself. I found out I was preg with #2 Feb 5.

My first pregnancy was terrible so I'm really hoping this one goes better. Otherwise, I look forward to another 7 months with you ladies!!

We live in Los Angeles and we're very excited! I'm an ICU RN so I'm a little out of my comfort zone here but I'm sure I won't have any trouble understanding what's going on when the time comes. :-)
  • I'm Rachel, I just found out officially today that I'm expecting my 1st child on October 26th!!! Only my husband and I know so far but we are planning on telling immediate family soon. Also in the craziness we are moving from Nebraska to Montana in May. 2014 will be a year of changes!!

  • Hi. I am Jennifer.This is baby number 7, but my 13th pregnancy. A little nervous because I miscarried in January. I got pregnant 2 weeks later. This one has a heartbeat. 5 of the 6 I have lost never got that far. The one that did have a heartbeat had a very low one. So I have been reassured I have very little to worry about. I have the worst morning sickness this time. But I will take it to have s healthy baby. Congrats to all of you.

  • I'm Charity....I'm 18 been married almost 4 months, due October 20th with baby #1...I'm a stay-at-home-wife, hubby is a preacher and he's working full-time at SeaRay Boat Co.
  • Hi! I'm Holly and my EDD is Oct 27th! I will probably mostly lurk. I am 22, married, and a college student. My husband is Navy. We already are a blended family, so we have one son who is 2 yrs 4 months and was actually born Oct 31, 2011! He is mine from another relationship and his dad is barely around.

    We are team green & going for a home birth. I had a hospital birth the first time around and wasn't happy with it. The midwife we are using has been a part of my family (she's a friend of) for 15 years & she doula'd for me with my son and kept me sane up until 8 cm of pitocin labor when they finally came to give me my epi. I could have gone all the way through with her coaching me because it was like she took the pain away but my BP was a little high so the epi helped bring it down. And I got some rest.

    Anyway. That's a brief enough intro! Hi :)

  • Hello! I'm 25 & my husband is 26, we are from OR but stationed in AL for 2 more weeks & we are expecting our first baby on Oct. 12! We have been married 2 & 1/2 years & after struggling with severe endometriosis we are extremely shocked & excited that it happened so soon for us. We had our first ultrasound on 2/28 & got to see & hear the healthy baby! :)
  • Hi! I am 28 years old, and my husband and I are expecting our first child on October 10! We have been married for 2 1/2 years and became pregnant after trying for 3 cycles! I had been on OCs for many years for irregular periods and was shocked and very happy to become pregnant so quickly. I am a registered nurse and am continuing to work full time during my pregnancy. The 12 hour shifts are quite the beast with all the fatigue and nausea, but I enjoy my job. Presently, I am doing my best to make it through this first trimester which has been more challenging than I expected. I knew I would be fatigued and would probably have morning sickness, but I didn't expect to depend on Zofran to be able to eat and drink! I have also been uncharacteristically anxious and fearful, which I know is probably just hormones. I've had a couple of miscarriage scares, but my last visit to the OB has helped to alleviate that fear. Baby is doing very well with a heart rate of 146! We are hoping to have a girl but would be more than happy with either. Congrats to all of you, and I look forward to joining you all in our journey to October!
  • Hi Everyone,

    My name is Sara and I live in Georgia. I am 8 weeks pregnant and this is my first -- my husband and I have been married for three years and are very excited for the new arrival! Since it's still fairly early we haven't told many people yet, but it's nice to be able to share in this community. My EDD is October 10th! I am in school and worried about my opportunities after graduation (in May) if I am showing...But otherwise can't wait! Looking forward to meeting more of you!
  • Hey everyone! I'm Jill, and I found out I was pregnant on February 14th. I am due some time between the 24th and 31st of October - my calculations are a little fuzzy since I got pregnant a few weeks after I stopped birth control, before I started getting my period again. I'm 30, turning 31 next week, and the hubby is 32. This is my first, and I am nervous, excited, and a whole mess of other emotions!
  • Hi. My name is Jacqui & I'm 34. I have a 7 year old son and now pregnant with #2. I'm due in Oct. 21. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

  • 1st pregnancy. Have waited 10 years. Went through 3 rounds of Clomed. No luck. Actually sent me into a deep depression. Went to an Ob/gyn that found I had medical issues. After getting all of them under control. Lota of prayers, crying, and frustration. DH got a word from God that I would be pregnant by this time. I finally took a HPT and got a BFP. Was so surprised I had to wake my DH and just slowly tell him. We are both excited and trying to keep it quite until it being confirmed by OB.

  • Hi ladies! I'm Katherine. I'm 27, and pregnant with my second child. I went into pre term labor at 20 weeks with my first child in 2007 and lost her. So I am very nervous this time. We are about 6 weeks right now EDD 25 Oct. I'm currently active duty as well as my husband who will be in Afghanistan during the entire pregnancy. Hoping to connect with other moms on here to help me through this as my family is in Florida and my husband's is in Ohio. (We are currently stationed in NC). Thanks ladies looking forward to the journey with you all! :)

  • Hey everyone! My name is Breanna and this is our third LO. DD is almost 10 & DS just turned 2. Our EDD is Oct 22 (Also our 4 year anniversary!) We found out when we were three weeks pregnant and I don't have my first u/s for a couple more weeks. We had a m/c in August at 10 weeks. We went in for the u/s at 8 weeks and there wasn't a heartbeat but they wanted to do more testing to make sure my dates weren't just off. I'm purposely waiting until 9 weeks this time to do the u/s (although it's killing me) so that there is no question on dates. All my labs came back great. This pregnancy has been more intense than my previous pregnancies. I feel like my symptoms are stronger. I don't remember being this exhausted in my previous pregnancies. I feel like I could sleep all day. Congrats on everyone's pregnancies!
