We dated as kids in middle school. We've now been together for 4 years after college and have talked about having a baby since the beginning. This miracle surprised us the first of the year!! It's going to be the best year yet!
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? Just joined!
Was delaying posting anything yet until I was further along, PGAL mind. This is my fourth preg but will be my 3rd take home baby, God willing. This is my second child with my Husband. (oldest son was from previous marriage). We were high school sweethearts and have remained friends through it all. Our littlest one just turned 9 months old. Wasn't expecting getting pregnant again so soon. But feel very blessed and praying for a healthy pregnancy.
I've been a member of the bump for a while. Mostly lurk but try to contribute if I have any helpful information to offer.
I got my BFP on 12/12 after a negative test on 12/8. I suspected earlier because nausea started immediately.
EDD: August 17th
No crazy conceptions stories. my husbands grandmother predicted our pregnancy though. apparently she sees mice every time one of her children or grandchildren conceives. don't really buy into it, but supposedly she is never wrong.
I'm 27 and my husband is 29. this is our first and we are super excited.
I joined the bump after my BFP and have been observing quietly.
My DH and I have been married 11 years this July. And have been trying most of that time. After 2- etopic pregnancies, 1-miscarriage, and IVF, We are 11 wks. I am sick off and on but it is worth it to see my love talk to my belly.
When you got your BFP? - Well, I got it about a week ago when I finally became 7 weeks, but I'm still waiting on my boyfriend to get it. He's already a father and isn't ecstatic about getting to unwed girls pregnant. But I'm so ready to be a mom and really excited because I honestly crave babies.
What your EDD is? - August 29th
Basic info like age, if you have any other LOs, fun conceptions stories? - I'm 20 and my boyfriend is 29. We have been together for a year now and have always discussed having a family. We decided in our third month of dating to already try to conceive, but life happens and we had to wait. So messing with my birth control made me fertile I guess and in November my period decided to only be two days long. I thought that was strange haha. Two weeks later I took a test and it was negative. I was so upset because I had gotten excited for nothing. And then my next period never came, so I was really confused. Finally I went to the doctor and took an actual pregnancy test and it was positive! Now I know I can conceive. The hard is over and the adventure has started.
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? - Yes. I thought it was a cool app.
When you got your BFP? End of December, 3 days before my boys' first birthday party eesh!
What your EDD is? August 17
Basic info like age, if you have any other LOs, fun conceptions stories? Twin boys, almost 13 months. I was told by my RE that we would need more fertility for more kids... SURPRISE! First period cycle back and we're pregnant for the first time not involving an MD.
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? No, I've dirty lurked since 08 on the infertility boards and then December 13 board. I LOVE GIFs and all the wit. Maybe I'll pick up some skills
I'm a first time mom. Both my husband and I are 33, and we've been married about four and a half years. My husband is a first generation Canadian, while my family has been in Canada since before it was Canada.
Just joined but have been lurking for about a year.
Looking forward to getting to know you over the next seven months!
Basic info like age, if you have any other LOs, fun conceptions stories? I'm 22, and in an amazing relationship with my DH, who is 28. I found out I was pregnant Christmas Eve. I wrapped a pacifier and placed it in the bottom of his stocking, his reaction was amazing! We believe we conceived on Thanksgiving day, right before we left for our family dinners I might add (lol). We are so excited for what the future has in store for us!
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? Just joined! Loving all the fun facts and stories from other mothers-to-be!
BFP -- mid December?
EDD -- August 14th, but with my history we are looking at a mid-July birthday if things work out like they did with #2.
Basic info -- I have two other kiddos (info in sig) who were conceived as soon as we tried. Thought we were done until two years ago when we decided to have one more and... nothing. Was just about to schedule a snip for dh when I got my BFP, since I figured we were broken but still blessed with our two! So the spacing between #2 & #3 will be bigger than originally intended which my OCD mind is still wrapping itself around, but it looks like all systems are go.
Newb or Pro? -- prob one of the oldest members on Aug '15 (longevity posting, not age) but I wandered away around 2011 after #2 started getting older & life got in the way. It's been forever since I giffed (is that a word? Pretty sure I just made it one), but I was def a knot, nest, & bump pro "back in my day."
edit bc like I said, it's been awhile
Im new to this group and I am 29 yrs old. I have 3 living children. I had a stillborn 6/25/14 and I am now pregnant with my rainbow due 9/18 but I will be induced 36 weeks 8/21/15.

My name is Ramona and I am 25 years old. This is our first pregnancy. I'm married and ttc for 3 years before our little miracle happened. Pcos survivor and used metformin for a year to regulate symptoms. We were a month away from trying clomid.
Good day y'all! My first BFP was about a 30 dpo... I know I never kept track and AF would never keep a constant schedule. My EDD is August 29th. I am 30, soon to be 31. My husband and I have 3 other LO's, my daughter that is 10, my stepson is 9 and my son is 6. We were not expecting this at all and have been taken by surprise. This is actually my first time on Bump and no, I'm not a gif pro by no means!
Basic info like age, if you have any other LOs, fun conceptions stories? I'm 34 years old and DH is 37. We have 2 LOs, DS is 4.5 and DD is 1.5. This will be our 3rd August baby lol, only fun story is that my little sister backtracked our DD for DS and found out he was conceived at a my parents' yearly Cochon De Lait when we traveled back home for a visit.
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro?

Basic info like age, if you have any other LOs, fun conceptions stories? I'm 28, DH 29; no other LOs and we've been trying for almost 2 years now with no BFPs; this one was conceived on second month of Clomid
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? Just joined about a month ago!
I finally got the BFP on Jan.5. I say finally b/c I tested twice when I "knew" I was pregnant, but the tests denied me the proof. I tested on Black Friday while out shopping and then again two weeks later at the doctor's office b/c I was so yucky and couldn't figure out why. To back up, I have a one year old. We were nursing just fine and then my supply went down drastically in Nov. I figured something was up.
I am advanced maternal age and will have 2 babies under 2 right before I turn 40.
I would like to be called "T" on the forum
Married, from CT.
Was on the Feb. 14 board under a different name.
Due date is Aug 15.
I love other peoples gifs and can sometimes pull one off...
Hey!! I got my BFP on 12/26 ( I didn't want to get too excited right away)
My EDD is Aug 26.
This is my first LO I'm pretty excited now that I've told all of the important people in my life. I'm 21 years old my boyfriend is 27 and he's really excited to be a papa.
Hi Everyone, just had my first appointment and finally feel comfortable saying hello! I've lurked for a while now, but for some reason didn't quite feel like saying hi till today.
I got my BFP on christmas eve, and my EDD is August 31.
Hi everyone. bFP was on 12/23/2014. EDD is 8/27/15 This was a surprise for us as we were told that we would need help with conceiving no 2. I have a DD who is 3 1/2. I was active with the bump in the July 11 board and breastfeeding and food allergy boards in the past. Different username since I can't access the other. Hopefully will be pretty active here.
Basic info: I am 32 dh 33. We have 4 children... had them early. 3 girls ages 14, 12, and 10. DS just turned 9. I had an Iud that decided to stop working a few years early... so here we are, quite the gap! Haven't told my kids yet... kinda nervous about that. Literally scared to tell my mom... lol. Funny I'm a grown woman who makes a great living yet I'm scared to tell my mom! But I really am very excited... now that I'm past the confusion that is.
Basic info like age, if you have any other LOs, fun conceptions stories?
I would venture to say I am not the typical Bumpie. I am 41 and got pregnant on accident with a much younger man and he is, uh, not on board yet. But this is my first pregnancy and I am not going to let him steal my joy! I have a lot of great support and I take care of myself. I actually did mc a year and a half ago but I have no children. I will be 13 weeks on Tuesday so I feel pretty good that I will go to term with this one! My CVS is on Monday. Cant wait to find out what I am having!
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? I have no idea what a gif-pro is but I joined TB a few weeks ago. Mostly a lurker, but I am becoming more involved. Good luck to all the ladies for a healthy and happy pregnancy!
Basic info like age, if you have any other LOs, fun conceptions stories? I'm 25, DH is 29. This is our first. We struggled with infertility for 2.5 years for this miracle baby. Where were actually given a 1-5% chance of ever conceiving even with IVF again. 3 weeks later with no medical intervention I became pregnant!
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? I just joined.
Basics: I'm 34, our DS is 1 year old (54 weeks) and via IVF. Baby #2 is a huge miracle to us since we had zero intervention after 8+ years of dealing with the ups and downs of infertility issues. We are so thankful but it is overwhelming at times considering DH was laid off in December. It's all meant to be, right? We've been with our RE for a few weeks for monitoring and I was waiting for a more accurate EDD before doing my intro post. I've now graduated to my OB and I'm ready for the next steps.
Did you just join the Bump or are you a gif-pro? I was very active with my Jan14 loves during pregnancy and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.
We got our BFP on Dec 18th and EDD is Aug 30th. We couldn't be more excited!
My husband and I are both 33 and have been married for 2 years. We started trying in September on our 2 year anniversary vacation in Mexico and it only took about 3 months so we were pretty relieved. This is a first for both of us. Looking forward to gaining lots of info on these boards! I was on theknot.com while planning our wedding and learned so much.
Time to introduce myself-- I realize I may be getting on the bandwagon a little late, but today is the first day I have felt like myself in a looong time, and wanted to take advantage and do some things I've been meaning to for a while! Been battling bad nausea and fatigue for weeks and weeks, but feel GREAT today and hoping it's a sign of good things to come as the 1st trimester comes to a close
BFP was 12-23-14. My cycles have always been irregular, so being late didn't set off any trigger to test for me-- tested after the first week of nausea made me realize something was up!
EDD is Aug 10 2015
I am 28, DH is 34. This will be our first child. We were not trying, not preventing-- but the BFP still came as a big surprise because I have PCOS too and always thought it would be a long and difficult process to conceive... But we feel so so excited and blessed to be starting our family
Don't know when I got my BFP, I tested 5 days after my period was supposed to come and there it was! I am due August 16th. I'm 11 weeks today, and like others the exhaustion and nausea were killing me.
Me and DH are both 24, been married 2 years. I work as a nurse and he a respiratory therapist. We live in Canada.
I just joined the bump but I was on the knot while planning my wedding. And I am definitely gif pro. Hilarious.
Hi I'm Jessi and I'm 26. I'm about 9 weeks pregnant with my first gummy bear. My boyfriend is 36 and this is his first as well. My due date is Aug 30 2015. I found out on christmas that i was preggo officially. But my boobs knew a week before. I have no idea what any of the abbreviations on this site mean haha I live in new braunfels TX and need some women to relate to. I love this app. The forums have kept my sanity the last few weeks and then I realized I hadn't posted this yet.
Hi Everyone, my name is Courtney and I'm from Cincinnati, OH. FTM here! My husband and I have been TTC for the past 2 years, and we are so excited to be pregnant! Another bonus...we just found out it's TWINS! I found out I was pregnant on Dec 15. I am 10 weeks today, with a due date of Aug 22nd.
