    FTM! DH and I are both 30 and ready for this new adventure! I am due March 7th and have my first DR appointment on the 22nd. Unfortunately DH will be out of town and has already instructed me to not listen to the heartbeat (if that's even an option this soon). :)
    Since I am trying to find the best hospital/doctor I also made an appt at another doctor's office for August 3rd. I have told only a few close friends. We are waiting to tell family. I am excited, nervous, anxious, and tired. haha. So glad to have this community!

    Nice to meet you all! I'm 5 weeks and some pregnant. I found out the night before my birthday that my dh and I were going to have a baby July 12. I'm not feeling any symptoms besides cramping and a littttttle nausea in the car (probably bc I was hungry). I am worried about the weight and dealing with the issue of work (I'm a teacher!) but it is so worth it!

    Hello ladies! EDD March 12, about a week before my 31st bday. DH is pushing 40 and is somewhere between shock and acceptance. We found out on the 4th of July and haven't told ANYONE. I want to, but am being cautious in case of complications.
    So far- sore BBs, wicked bloating, exhausted, and near constant flashes of heartburn
    We talked about being "ready" for kids a while back. Now that we are expecting I can't believe how ridiculous that thought is. Now we're hoping for a happy, healthy pregnancy, some divine guidance, and a little luck :)

    FTM checking in! I'm about 6 weeks and my due date is around March 10th. My first dr appt is this monday! I'm super excited and super scared! My DH is also both scared and excited! He has been so sweet since I'm so exhausted lately, he has taken on most of the house chores.....praise the lord! Lol I'm so tired, my boobies hurt, soooooo nauseated all day long, and all those little pinchy crampy pains in my back and belly! I like to think of them as love pains from my new little reminding me that he/she is growing happy and healthy! Congrats to everyone! It's going to be a beautiful and exciting journey!

    Hey everyone! FTM here too. I just found out on Tuesday. I'm going to be 4 weeks tomorrow and I'm so nervous. EDD is 3/26/16. I've been gassy, tired, bloated and just started getting nauseated today. I have little cramps and, of course, I freak out over every single one but I try to ignore them. Congrats to everyone and I can't wait to get to know everyone. 

    Question, my first doctor's appointment is Tuesday, what can I expect?

    @can'twaitforbabyA We were able to hear a heart beat at 5w5d. The dr didn't ask, she just did it. Lol

    Meet and greet, get your health history, weight, maybe confirm pregnancy with blood test, they'll probably run down a list of dos and don'ts, and they will answer any questions you might have.

    My very first appt, they did a urine sample and family history. My dr decided to do a transvaginal ultrasound and warned me we probably wouldn't see anything because it was so early (I was only 4 weeks at the time). You MAY be able to see the sack and yolk when you go. It's crazy the difference a few days will make! Good luck!

    Hi everyone! I'm a FTM with my husband and we are so excited!! :) I'm 24. I had very sporadic periods and so not entirely sure of an exact due date. We have an ultrasound this coming Tuesday to confirm a date! Hoping all is well. About a week ago I had blood tests and my HCG was doubling :)
    I thought I was going to get away without any nausea, but it hit me about 3 days ago. Seems to only be when I go more than 3 hours without eating something. Also very sore breasts and nipples. Bloated. Constipation. And the thought of maple syrup makes me want to vomit! Haha never had a problem with it before :p can't wait to share and hear experiences with you all!

    Congratulations everybody! It's such an exciting time. I found out I was pregnant on my honeymoon and did the test in a hotel in cuba. Couldn't enjoy the all inclusive element of our hotel but when your blessed you cant complain. I'm only home from honeymoon yesterday and so need to make a docs apt. I have bigger sore boobs than I've ever had before and nausea especially with smells- fish and feta cheese the worst smells. My due date is Mafch 5th

    Hello all! I (as the group name would suggest) am a FTM and so happy to be here! I am 6w1d today with my first meet and greet appt 7/29 and likely an US the following week. My husband and I have been trying since our wedding in January, but as the research indicates it took 6 months after discontinuing birth control to conceive! We found out July 2nd and have told a few close friends and relatives but are waiting until 12 weeks to announce to a wider circle. He has an amazing 7 year old who is just the sweetest little girl and so we are beyond excited to expand the family! Looking forward to hearing everyone's updates as things move along! Cheers :)

    I also have a stepdaughter who will be 7 when she becomes a big sister! She doesn't know yet but looking forward to telling her once we feel it's less risky (only 5 weeks now).

    FYI I noticed your name looks like you first and last, and you might want to protect your privacy by changing it. I've heard some people have bad experiences with sharing too much personal info on here.

    Hi all! I'm a FTM as well.. Sounds like I'm in track with all these symptoms. My boobs are the most painful they have ever been... Bumps in the car are even awful! Everyone talks about that good feeling when taking off your bra... At this juncture I would rather just leave mine on to contain these puppies! A little cramping/ stretching but nothing scary. I am an ER nurse and verified all my concerns with one of my docs... Just for some peace of mind!

    First appt is August 19th! It cannot come any sooner! It's so hard not telling everyone!

    Oh! My EDD is March 20th based on my LMP, I am 5 weeks today! :)

    Hey everyone! I found out this morning that I'm pregnant!!! :) according to the app, my due date is March 22, 2016! I couldn't be more excited!!!

    My symptoms started showing this past Wednesday. And pregnancy wasn't even on my mind. I was thinking I was crampy and nauseous because my period was coming. Then this morning I just decided to take one to see (was expecting a negative). I looked at the box and when I looked at the test again... There is was a bright blue POSITIVE!! I ended up running into the bedroom and told my boyfriend (that's not how I wanted to tell him... But I couldn't wait).

    Anyways, congratulations to all the March Mommies!!!!

    Congratulations to you all!

    I'm a Cornish FTM to be on March 10th (6 weeks 3 days) after an ectopic pregnancy at the start of the year. Was abit of a shock to find out I was pregnant again so soon but DH and I are happy and keeping our fingers crossed all goes well with this one! Have sore boobs, major bloated belly and a massive appetite but sadly can't stand the smell of baking cakes!!

    Hope you've all had lovely weekends!

    Hi ladies! I thought I introduces myself a while back but I guess it didn't post. I'm a ftm as well, yay and congratulations everyone!!
    Im 4w4d. DH is turning 28 I'm turning 27, we've been married for 2 years, together for 5. We started ttc in june but I must have already o'd so in July I did temping, checking my chart, and used opk's. I got pregnant pretty easy I guess which was a huge blessing. I have been wanting to have kids since we got married 2 years ago but dh was going to be away for training a lot so we held off and then he got deployed for 15 months so that really put a damper on things. He just got back June 1st so we immediately started ttc. That's when I missed my o'd so we just had a practice 2 weeks I guess before my cycle started =). We're very excited and are already looking forward to our 1st appointment. So far I've been very crampy and tired and the sore boobs are no joke. I can't wait to get to know you all and have a H&h 9 months =)

    Hi All! I'm Erin and we are super excited to be parents! We will be 29 and 30 when we welcome our first little one in March. It seems as though I've got all the symptoms so far. Looking forward to the second trimester when the magic pregnancy fairies say the symptoms are supposed to ease.

    Hi everyone, I'm currently 4w5d and also a FTM. I'm 27 and my husband is 30, and we are certainly looking forward to the journey. I saw my Dr after three days missing AF, as I had three BFP POAS tests. I have my first ultrasound for viability at the beginning of August. I don't seem to have too many symptoms right now, every now and then some cramping, on and off sore boobs/sensitive nipples. Today I felt pretty exhausted which was a first. But I am sure these symptoms will increase with time. Looking forward to going through this process with all of you!

    I also found out I was pregnant on July 4th!! EDD March 22nd, my first appt is on July 22nd but it's mostly just to confirm pregnancy. I've have terrible nausea mostly all day, I'm super bloated and have cramping/back pain here and there. My husband and I are still a little in shock, but getting more excited each day :)

    sore boobies
    napping during the day (I never take naps)
    mood swings/crying

    FTM checking in. So far have not had any morning sickness or food aversion which actually concerns me. More tired than usual, and bloated, but not really feeling extremely different than before pregnancy. I'm due March 6th and am looking forward to my initial doctors appointment next week. Anyone else out there have minimal symptoms?

    Excited to be on this adventure with you ladies! Currently 4 weeks and 6 days. FTM after a MC 9 months ago. Have been TTC since and am SO excited (and a little nervous). Trying to stay positive and enjoying the symptoms as a sign that all is going well! We are due March 24th!

    Congrats to all of you beautiful moms to be!

    I'm 27 and DH is 29 and our little ball of cells is 4 weeks today. Had a MC earlier this year, last year and an ectopic in 2013 so I am hoping this one sticks!

    We recently moved away from family for work (to the Chicago area from St. Louis) so not super far, but a little sad knowing my mom won't be super close! Looking forward to getting to know you all!
