Hi everyone, this is my 2nd pregnancy. ..my first support group...i am 37 which for me is late to start on #2 however considering i was told child bearing was not in the cards i have proven them wrong..I am really nervous all the the way around...My daughter will be turning 5 when the baby is born and ironically enough I am due 3 days before her birthday so i have no clue how to make her moment special when most of the attention will be on me around that time. ..so i definitely will need great ideas to make her feel just as important as her new sibling.

Hello Fellow May Mamas!! Really excited to join the thread and post after months of lurking on boards
How long did you try to get KU? I required some "assistance" ovulating as my body wasn't producing FSH (likely due to minimal body fat). However after two failed attempts at clomid, I ovulated on Femara and got KU that very month. Our first try!!

How did you tell your SO? Prior to conceiving, I purchased Gucci sneakers in a size zero that match our " His & Hers" pair. I woke him from a dead sleep before work after I got my BFP to ask if he liked my new purchase. He was so confused! Then I took out the + test and he got the idea

Hello! This is our 3rd! We had decided to try about 4 months ago and we're going to stop trying in October. We have a 28 month old and a 13 month old. Estimated due date for #3 is 5/15. I just blurted it out to my husband. I ordered shirts for our kids to tell him, but after two days I couldn't keep the secret any longer.
How long did you try to get KU? We weren't trying. I had my IUD removed 2 years ago in august. Tried for over a year with one 5 week loss in Feb 2014. This past spring we decided to let it go as I am 35 and he is 41. So this surprise is certainly welcome!

How did you tell your SO? We were out grocery shopping. I ran into rite aid by myself to get nail polish. I grabbed a test since I missed my period the day before. When we got home he was unloading the groceries. I took the test real quick and it came out positive. I went it the kitchen and said "hey check this out". My husband said "really? You're lying. That's fake." I'm like yea cuz I bought some gag gift test.... Then I tossed it in the trash and he says "you're throwing that out?!" And I said "uh yea. I peed on it". I wish I could do some cutsie thing but I get too excited and have to tell him. Same with Christmas presents, I'm like I know it's October but just open it now cuz I can't keep it in any longer.

How did you tell your SO?
He works nights and gets home around 4 AM so he was in the kitchen getting my coffee ready for the morning and I handed him the positive test. He was like, "What does that mean?" so I told him it means we're having a baby!
Hi Everyone!! I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my second. So far it's a very different pregnancy. I want to eat ALLLL the time!!
The first time I got pregnant we tried for only 3 months. This time we were trying for 7, still not long compared to others but it started to get a little disappointing month after month. I even had an early miscarriage so we were a little apprehensive to get excited right away this time around. But now we are so0o0o thrilled and excited.
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? My baby is 19 months old already! Time flies.
It was actually our first time trying this go around - and I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis so we were quite surprised when I got my BFP. With our son - it took nearly a year.
We have one son - Raylan who will be 3 on Oct 3rd.
I had R color a picture with the words "Even superheroes need a sidekick!" and had him dressed in his superhero jammies when he gave it to him. Hubby loved it.
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? First timer here and so excited!
How did you tell your SO? I took a football onesie with his favorite team on it and folded it up so he could tell what it is and put the test underneath it. I told him I bought us something to use for next football season and as he was walking towards it he asks "a baby?" The guy is impossible to trick.... But he was so surprised and excited! We were not expecting it this month at all!
What is your estimated due date? May 27 as of right now!
Hey guys! So: We had talked about having a third but were just going with, "if it happens it happens". Ironically the weekend before I found out I was out with my girlfriends and announced I changed my mind and was done. This is why you never say it out loud lol. I am not a first time Mom, we have 2 boys who are 6 and 8. Well, when I realized I was 6 days late, it hit me that I could quite possibly be pregnant. Being late would be a normal indicator, but I had issues with a Mirena IUD earlier in the year, and my cycles had been wonky ever since. So, I made my husband go to the store and get a test. He got a package with the lines and a digital. The old school one said positive, and the digital said no. WHAT?! I clearly called my best friend and she was hysterical because I had just said I was done. Naturally, I made my husband go back to the store and get another. Again, the old school test was positive and I messed up the digital (hot mess right here). We clearly knew right then and there I was definitely pregnant. The tests were as clear as day (the line ones). We got super excited, and were in disbelief
My EDD is May 11, but another said May 10. We shall seee!
How long did you try to get KU? This was our 3rd month trying
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? FTM over here!
How did you tell your SO? Started yelling "honey" in a really panicky voice because I wasn't expecting it. We just bent over and stared at it for a solid 2 minutes before hugging and everything!
What is your estimated due date? Based on last period, May 28

We have two older boys and my little girl. I am super exited but this will def be our last as my tubes will be tied with this c section!
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? FTM!
How did you tell your SO? I just got back from a business trip and told him to think fast and tossed him the FRER as he walked in the door! Not super sweet, but we hugged and we were so excited! Simple and easy! My previous pregnancy which ended early I bought him "dude you're going to be dad" and that was fun, so this time I kept it simple!

Hello my name is Rochelle Ervin. I currently live in Hawaii and I just found out I was pregnant. This will be my husband and I first child so we are extremely excited. We haven't told the good news to our family yet because we are waiting until I get further along. I'm 5 weeks and 4 days right now. I'm definitely having symptoms like swelling breasts, fatigue and a huge appetite. I'm really here to get advice and encourage other mothers along the way. My current due date is May 20, 2016.
How long did you try to get KU? We tried for about a year and a half! Frustrating!
Are you a first time mom? If not, how many little ones do you have? We have a son, age 8 and a daughter, almost 5. A boy and a girl, perfect right? I come from a large family and always wanted more than 2. This 3rd will be our last. It took 18 months to convince my husband and then that much to get pregnant. We're both 36.
How did you tell your SO? We just went to Chicago for our 10th Anniversary. I tested on the last day we were there. I waited until we were outside to tell him. I knew he'd need some fresh air!! He said he felt dizzy! lol. He definitely would have chosen to stop at 2 but knew this is what I really wanted. He's a great dad. After we walked a few blocks we got to a little French café and he was happy and excited.
Hey everyone I'm 31 and this is my third, my other two are 11 and 13. We tried for a month and got ku! Although this is my third time around it feels brand new since my kids are so much older! Were both super excited and I'm horrible at surprises and holding secrets so I didn't tell him in any special way. My due date is May 23rd. We're hoping for a healthy happy baby... Glad to be here with everyone, hope everyone's goes well also!

I am extremely lucky- it took us 1 shot! I hate saying that because I know a lot of women have a really hard time, but apparently my mom was the same way with all 3 of her kids.
This is my first time being pregnant.
We were on vacation in the Mediterranean; we never go on vacation, but figured we should go somewhere big before we have kids! I took a test with me because before we left I felt odd.
I haven't had my first ob appointment yet, but I believe it's roughly May 12th.
We are first timers, due May 9th, he find out when I did, both of us were very shocked but very happy! Having to pee so much is a change as well as the wanting to eat everything in sight! I'm gf so it's hard to find thing on the go, I always have to remember to pack some snacks, we are moving house in a month and can not wait!
We were not trying. We weren't exactly preventing either though.
We have a 4 yo son and a 22 month daughter.
DH actually guessed it. I was late, but had been traveling so I just assumed the stress was causing a delay. When I came home and wasn't complaining about cramps, he said are you pregnant? It hadn't even crossed my mind but took a test and sure enough!
