  • Hey, hey!

    EDD: June 2nd

    Second baby. I have a 2 year old daughter.

    We got pregnant on the first month of trying. Wohoo!

    I texted him a pic of the stick. Not exciting at all.

    I am a teacher, so this baby is much better timing than the last. Having a baby in the middle of the school year was not fun.

    Are you a first time mom? First time and very excited!

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? First month of trying

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I left two positive tests in the bathroom for him to find.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I'm excited to be part of this group and getting to know all of you! My husband and I got married in Vegas in July. I just turned 33 this past week, so it was a nice late birthday present for me, DH is 29.

  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 4th

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? First time mom third pregnancy. We miscarried twice about three years ago. This was after many years of infertility with first husband and a couple years of marriage and no baby with second. We started clomid and got pregnant with first. We learned of no viable baby/blighted ovum a few days before Thanksgiving and finally miscarried on Christmas evening leading to an Emergency visit the next morning. Second one pregnant in March lost at 8 weeks miscarried in late May. The second miscarriage went much smoother with no emergency visit. We are cautiously excited about this one.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)
    Struggle with infertility and irregular periods since they began. We weren't actively trying but have never prevented. I do regularly chart on fertility friends but just my start and end days. When we BD (baby dance for newbies) I would check to see if it was during probable fertile window. I had basically given up most hope of becoming a mother but still held on to a small thread of maybe this month... I started Phentermine to loose weight and with the weight loss came a pregnancy. A little nervous since It is a drug that is not supposed to be taken if pregnant or TTC.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    He woke up to shower and get ready for work. His alarm woke me up and I got a test last night since today was supposed to be AF (Aunt Flo) day. While he was in the shower I tested and it came up a light line. I asked if he saw a line and he said I think so but retest in a few days. I left it sitting on the window sill but the longer it sat the darker it got. I will probably get a digital and retest tomorrow morning.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: Married seven years on December 13th. We are the proud parents of three cats and two dogs and I know I have seen a lot of animal people here already! Happy and Health 9 month to everyone and let the ride begin! Wow I had diarrhea of the mouth! Sorry it's a long post :)

  • Yikes! I screwed up and posted my own intro sorry. This app thing is new to me as my last pregnancy was 5 years ago. Anyways...

    EDD: June 3rd I think?

    Not a first time mom, this will be #3, but my first two (DD is 5, DS is 4) are with my ex husband. This kiddos is with my current.

    TTC three months. Was on nuvaring.

    Told BF by coming downstairs yesterday morning as he was making us coffee. I had the stick in my pocket. But he was mad at me for some ridiculous reason because we were going to get out for a run but he wasn't feeling well and apparently I wasn't sensitive to that haha. Anyways, in a huff I plopped the rest down and instantly he wasn't angry any more. He says it was the ultimate zinger.

    Other info: I'm a pediatric RN at a major children's hospital, originally from WA but live in SoCal now. And I run a lot.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm a nurse and I love to craft and read.

    Hi everyone! I'm so excited to get to know you all!

    Estimated Due Date (EDD): 5/31/16 or 6/1/16

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number? No! I have two little men too. My oldest is almost nine and my youngest is seven. :)

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? We weren't really trying or not trying.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I was hyperventilating in the bathroom while making him squint to see that faint line!

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: It was the strangest thing..I swear I knew we had conceived right away. I mean the same day I just knew it. Two days later I was so positive that I told my husband that I was pretty sure I was brewing his baby again. That day I felt a little pinch and really believe that is when implantation occurred. He thought I was absolutely crazy and there was part of me that began to think that maybe he was right! :) Turns out, I wasn't.
    Has anyone else had a similar experience as far as knowing right away?
  • Estimated DD 1 june .... Unexpected but glad it happened have 3 kids already n 3 miscarriage after that so fingers crossed this time
  • @writerchic12 twinsies!! With my first pregnancy I too had a weird pregnant dream! I dreamt that someone told me if you grit your teeth without thinking about it then you're pregnant. I woke up gritting my teeth and went to take a preg test.. BFP! Strangest thing ever!

  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 8th I believe

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Nope, I have a 16 month old son

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? First month

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? He was on a business trip when I got my BFP. Left the pregnancy test on his nightstand! He didn't believe it, so I took another one to "make it official!"

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: @tashandma I had the same thing! Told my husband as soon as we were done! I've been feeling all the pinching and cramping of implanting!
    DS born 6/2/14 #2 due 5/31/16

  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 3

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number?
    No, this is my 2nd.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    Weren't trying

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    Sent a picture of the test to him.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:
    I have a 13 month son. During my last pregnancy I had preeclampsia and was hospitalized for 7 1/2 weeks and my son was delivered 6 weeks early. I'm nervous about having similar issues with this pregnancy.

  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 6th

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Yes this will be our first!

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? We are very lucky to have conceived our first month trying!

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? My DH was very confident we would get pregnant right away. Me being the more caucautiously optimistic one thought it could take longer. He went out for a work appointment and I didn't tell him I was doing a test while he was out as I was still about 5- 6 days away from AF's arrival. When I got the positive test I wrote the message 'That didn't take long! We are pregnant <3' on a sticky note and put it on his desk along with the test. When he got home he saw itit right away and came and have me the biggest longest hug.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I am extremely excited and a little nervous. Looking forward to my pregnancy and seeing how everything unfolds over the next 9 months. Doesn't feel 100% real yet but looking forward to sharing the exciting news with our immediate family soon :)
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 1

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Yes, this will be my first
    :)

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? We got pregnant the first time we tried. I feel very blessed!

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? When I first got the positive result I was kind of surprised actually, it was very surreal. I wasn't quite sure what to do but I was just too excited to wait so I woke up my husband (at 6 am haha) and just told him the great news!
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 8

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number? Second time mom. DD just turned 2 on September 21.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? 4 months

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    We are in the process of moving so we are in two different states at the moment. I hinted towards a BIG secret. He called after work and I told him I ordered a Papa bear shirt for him and a Sister bear shirt for DD. It took a few seconds, but his reaction was priceless.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself. This is my first birth group I've ever been apart of. So this is all new. But being able to relate to so many of you here is SO cool.
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD):
    June 2nd...but I will probably be doing a C-section so not sure if it will still be June or end of May instead

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number?
    Nope! I have an almost 6 year old son!

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    We talked about it one day TTC happened that night, then we both said maybe we wait a bit to get through upcoming plans, but the universe decided it was time.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    I took the HPT in the morning after he was at work, got the "pregnant" proof so I went and made a card that said "ready for an adventure?!..." On the front and inside it said "one made it" with funny drawings of little swimmers with eyes on them.

    He thought I was giving him football tickets originally, but then got excited and we both just started laughing :)

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself:

    I'm in Washington state! And I'm a huge Seahawks fan...and I'm scared to have our 2nd because it's been so long since we went through everything with our first. I'm not sure if I'm ready...
  • @jackieluvsdaniel I am a mom to a September 2013 baby too :-)  The S13 board was amazing through pregnancy and made some of my best, now IRL friends from it.  

    So glad you joined us here in June 2016 too!  My DS turned 2 today :-)

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number? This will be my second, I have a son who is a little over a year old..


    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    Well... we weren't actually trying we've been thinking about it for a little but we're going to wait a little while. Apparently life had other plans for us because one night of oops! And here we are. While extremely nervous to have 2 under 2 we are very excited.

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I work in the OR so I took a test at work and when DH picked me up at work I told him. Worst part was my brother was here visiting from California and we don't want to tell anyone yet so we had to keep our mouths shut but I was so anxious the whole time.


    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm a working mom, still BFing my DS in the morning and at night. I am really emotional about the prospect at having to give it up now with this pregnancy, esp since we weren't trying. I am excited to have another baby, I've always wanted at least 2 kids. I had terrible morning sickness with my first pregnancy so I'm really hoping to get lucky with this one and not be sick.
    I'll be having a repeat c/s (DS was big) so I'll probably deliver closer to end of May. I delivered DS at 38w3d so we'll see what happens!

  • EDD: June 3rd but I'll be having a repeat c-section towards the end of May.

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number? This will be my 4th, my husband's 2nd.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? Since 1/2015

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I bough him a card that said "sweet pea" on the front, and on the inside I wrote "In June 2016 were adding a pea to our pod!" He loved it.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'll be 40 in November so I'm nervous about the health of me and baby. I'll be having my 4th c/s so that's also a little concerning. I have 3 children (almost 12, 5, & an infant daughter who passed 6 years ago), and my stepdaughter is 8.

  • EDD - June 2, 2016. Yay!

    I am a first time momma ☺️

    We were TTC for two months - got pregnant the 2nd month.

    How I told my SO - called him after I took a test at work. I am a nurse in a doctor's office so I have tests readily available ☺️ This first test had a faint line but the next morning there was a BFP.

    @bchildrn no need to stop nursing! I've had numerous friends nurse through pregnancies. I'm still nursing my 16 month old. 

    ETA: Unless you want to. Which is totally valid ;) I weaned DD at 10 months due to pregnancy and other issues

    Are you a first time mom? If not, what number?
    Nope. I have a 14 month old boy.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)?
    One cycle. This was my first cycle postpartum (post breastfeeding)

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)?
    Just told him

    Hi ladies!




  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): June 2

    Are you a first time mom?  If not, what number? Nope. I have an 8 month old son.

    How long were you trying to conceive (TTC)? Hmm ... we weren't really actively trying, we just weren't taking any precautions with the attitude of whatever happens, happens. 

    How did your tell your significant other (SO)? I was so shocked and emotional ... I had planned to just tell him, but when the time came I just couldn't get the words out of my mouth, so I put the three positive pregnancy tests I had taken (yes, I took 3 lol) on his nightstand in the morning and just waited for him to find them.

    Anything else you want to tell us about yourself: I'm from Northern California, have a 3 year old black lab, am new to being a stay at home mom, am still BFing my son, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little terrified about the thought of welcoming another baby so soon after my first. Having two under two is going to be ... interesting (lol), and also exciting, of course.

    I've been on the bump since baby #1 but never really took part, kind of just watched the posts. Also, I just went back to school for surgical technology, so this pregnancy wasn't planned but I'm taking it as a blessing!

    Awwww! No fears mama. My 4 and 5 year old are 16 months apart and it is perfect. Truly. They play nonstop, are into the same stuff developmentally, and were even at the same preschool until she started kindergarten this year. I'm so happy I had my 2u2.

  • @VikingGirl12 After reading your post, I totally kept waking myself up last night because I was grinding my teeth. I have never heard this theory of pregnancy before, but it is clearly a thing ;)
