@dezpez07, I'm a FTM due June 2nd, so I'm in the same boat as you! Not knowing when LO is going to come is driving me crazyyyy, especially since I'm the kind of person who likes to have plans nailed down months in advance. I have lots of people in my life reminding me that this is one situation that I have absolutely no control over, which is definitely a reminder I need even though I don't always like to receive it. Still... is baby coming today? Tomorrow? 3 weeks from now? No clue. And it sucks lol
@karaelaine1991 Yup! And I know dues dates have been discussed and that no one will know when actual labor is coming but it doesn't help when in the back of my mind my original due date was yesterday so I'm like okay come on lady we're ready for you!
Hi!!! I'm Lisa. I introduced myself awhile back but don't post a lot. I'm 38 (39 next month - eep!). I'm married and we have a wonderful 3-year-old named Oliver and another little boy due June 20!
So nice to see everyone introducing themselves! I'm cara, I'm 24, FTM, from a suburb of NY. I'm the first of my close friends to be pregnant so I definitely get a lot out of these boards, it's nice to hear other people's stories and that there are so many lovely ladies out there that can relate to the horror and joy of pregnancy - wishing you all a great last few weeks!!
I'm Peggy from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 33 and a FTM. My husband of 1 year (but we are celebrating our 11th anniversary of being together this August!) and I are expecting a boy on June 11th. I've been very lucky and having a problem/symptom-less pregnancy so far. You know some people didn't know they were pregnant until labour? Ya I could easily be one of those
Both of our families are far away so I come check the board daily to see if I can get any tips and best practices.
Only a little over 2 weeks to go for me. Good luck ladies!
Hi all! I've also been sort of a lurker - only posted a few times - but I have really enjoyed reading and getting info. I should be more of a joiner
I'm a FTM expecting a girl due June 2. I've had a pretty easy pregnancy until the last few weeks when I hurt my back and now I can barely walk. It's bad enough that I stopped going to work last week and all I have to say is I have mad sympathy for those who have been on bed rest for a while! I'm just playing the waiting game now and excited to see when this little babe makes her grand entrance. So much to be excited and anxious about!
Hello all you lovely ladies! You've all mentioned reading along so howbout you join in to some discussions?! You know we roll, already, so get out there and get some!
Hey everyone! I'm Emily, I'm due June 18th with our second girl. Our first is 2.5 now. I'm currently a grad student and my husband is a teacher. I keep in close contact with my bump month group from my first pregnancy so I haven't felt like I needed to be on here much until recently. With both pregnancies I've had to deal with an irritable uterus so I've unfortunately gotten to know the L&D ward pretty well already. With my last babe, my water finally broke at 38.5 weeks after 4 weeks of contractions and not knowing if they were the real deal or not. They like to tell me that I'll "just know" when it's the real deal, but I'm secretly hoping my water breaks again because there's no denying it then!!

So maybe start a new thread about how we feel pregnant and maybe have a cramp or two!? )
Hello! I'm Erica. I'm a 24-yr-old FTM. My DH and I will be celebrating our first anniversary in September. We're team green and due June 12th. The anticipation of our LO is driving me crazy. I can't wait to hold my baby. I've been following this board for awhile now but I'm finally getting the courage now to start posting. You ladies have given me some great laughs and good advice. I'm excited to be here!
Hello ladies! I joined sometime in the fall but haven't posted much... I mostly just comment on threads here and there. I'm a STM. I have an almost 22 month old son. He will be getting a little sister on June 1st which is when I'm scheduled for a C-section. I'm hoping to go into labor naturally before the 1st and try for a VBAC. I've only got a week left so fingers crossed!!
ETA: My family and I live in Northern Virginia. I'm 33. My husband and I will celebrate our 3 year anniversary in September. Talk about growing to a family of 4 very quickly!!
Hi all! Rose from SD here. Been lurking for a while. Just started being a little more active. 28, married, FTM, 35 weeks, team green. Just diagnosed with IUGR but so far out little peanut is doing fine.
Seema from Portland, Oregon . FTM due June 4 with a baby boy. Have posted a couple of times. Obviously a bit late with my introduction in week 39. Good Luck ladies.
Hey Ladies! I'm Sheila. I've Been a member for a while, lurked around but never really bothered (or hell, even had the time) to post until recently. I'm a 27 year old mommy of 2, soon to be 3! I'm due June 22nd with our second little boy. My oldest is our DD, she's 8. And we have a 4 year old son who's 5th birthday is the day after my due date! I guess my hubby & I just like gettin' it on in the fall lmao!

Welcome! I'm considering a VBAC as well if I go into labor before my scheduled csection at 39w6d! Best of luck!
I love this thread, brilliant idea :-) I've been a lurker since October but recently started posting. I'm Natalie, FTM, team green, 27 living with my SO in the North of England (don't know if there's many Brits on here?!) due June 3rd, so excited to meet baby and feeling very happy to have found this lovely community of women to share this experience with.
(Edited because I forgot my name...memory loss not unusual for me atm)
Hello, My name is Barbara I am a FTM 36w 3d and I am due June 18th with a little boy. I've been on the site from the beginning of my pregnancy and I've commented on a few threads here and there but I haven't had a lot of time to really follow the board plus when I do finally get around to some of these threads they are pretty much old so I feel no need to put in my 2 cents, but recently my doc has decided to place me on temporary bed rest until we get my bp under control so I'm finding more time on my hands to allow me to be more active . I'm kinda sad I wasn't more involved from the get-go.
I'm from the east coast of Canada. (Not sure if there are many other Canadians on here?)
I've been a lurker on this board since November. Although I'm fairly quiet, I have made a few posts here and there. I'd echo what some of the other posters have said - this board is great, and with my few posts I have felt very welcomed and supported.
Hello everyone! My name is Shayna and I'm from Texas. My husband and I have 3 beautiful children (oldest 2 are boys and the youngest is our princess) and will be welcoming baby #4 (another boy) on June 4. Baby number 4 was a complete and total unplanned surprise, a blessing nonetheless and will also be the last baby. I joined a while back but have only recently started getting on, life has been crazy between sports, school, work, remodeling our house and getting ready for baby. I look forward to getting to know you ladies, everyone seems pretty straight forward like myself which is a characteristic I love and believe makes life easier!
I'm Marlene, 35, from NJ. Due June 21 with boy #2. We also have a two and a half year old. Just started posting recently since I'm in the homestretch! We thought we had a name picked out (Jordan Drew) but now, not so sure. Ugh!!!
Name is Britney D. I have a 4 year old son. I've been stalking the board for awhile. I'm pregnant with my 2nd son after a miscarriage that caused me to be hospitalized for three days with two blood transfusions in April 2014. So I am extremely happy that LO and I are healthy. I'm due June 8th, currently 38 weeks. Married to my husband for almost a year but we've been dating for almost 5years. I'm a licensed nail technician. I live in middle Tennessee. If I have helpful advice I'm not afraid to help someone out. And I'm socially awkward IRL.
Just thought I'd post here since I haven't really ever introduced myself.

Hi @britneythebridexo! I definitely recognize you - and we are due date twins!
Hi, I'm a 32 yr old FTM from MN. Have sporadically checked in and now that I am on maternity leave the bump is getting a lot more attention "due" on June 1st, hoping not to go too far past that!!
Hello All! Just realized I have never introduced myself! I followed the boards early on and posted a few times but dropped off due to crazy work issues taking up a lot of time until a couple months ago. Totally thought I wrote an intro post in October but it looks like I didn't. Thanks baby brain lol.
I'm a FTM, 30 years old, LO is due June 11th. Located in Southern KY by Bowling Green.
Sorry to be so late in the intros! Have enjoyed getting to read the boards more often lately.

Is it weird that i want to introduce myself despite not being "new"? I figure we're meeting so many new mommas but you have no idea who some of the older posters are!
I'm Caity, 30 year old first time mommy Originally a Long Islander but living in central jersey now. Due 6/28 with a little girl.
I was originally following the July 15 board because my term due date would be July 9, but we are having twins... So the latest my doctor will let me go is 38 weeks (June 26) making these girls June babies! I have been lurking here but not much posting.
DH and I are both 28 (almost 29, eek!) and these girls will be our first two ... And possibly only two as I have had a complicated pregnancy with hospital stay for gall bladder issues and climbing liver enzymes. Also have been suffering with hyperemesis which is just recently starting to dissipate! We live in Milwaukee, WI and I am so glad to be having the babies when it is nice out rather than frigid winter!
I am a pediatric RN and I began my career in adult critical care.... However I have been off work since my hospital stay in March! Starting to get stir crazy and SO ready for the girls to arrive!
IVF #1 September 2014 - Transferred one 5-day blast : BFN
FET #1 October 2014 - Transferred two 5-day blasts: BFP!!
Hi! I'm Sutton, 26 living in San Diego. My husband and I are first time parents and expecting our little girl June 9th...although I would looooove to meet her sooner
I've been on here since the beginning but have found that lurking has answered most of my questions. Lately, I'm obsessed with checking the June Birth Announcements thread out of jealousy of those that have met their little peanuts!
Hope I'm posting in the right spot! I was a member of the July birth club as my due date was July 10th. However our little guy decided he was ready and made an early appearance and came on June 21st (amazing fathers day present!) so here I am! Looking forward to giving and sharing support with all of you

I didn't see this thread earlier so I will introduce myself formally now! My name is Amy, and I live in Lisle, IL (suburb of Chicago). I'm 36 going to be 37 on the 30th. My son Spencer (I still love saying my son!) was born on 6/10. After 3 years of TTC and 3 losses I am over the moon happy to be a Mommy! I love this forum because it makes me not feel crazy and alone in this wild journey of motherhood! Thanks for all of the advice and support!
