Hi everyone! I'm glad I can finally contribute, I've been lurking a couple days.
I'm 28 years old and have been married since November 2014. I'm pregnant with my first baby, due May 7! My husband and I are over the moon excited; he's wanted to be a dad for a while and he can't wait for our baby to get here in around 7 months.
I'm anxious, nervous, excited and all other emotions that come along with being a first time mommy. I had an ultrasound at 7w2d and saw the heartbeat. That was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced. My next visit is on October 19, so I am hoping to see a little bit more of baby. We have announced to our family and close friends, but plan to announce publicly around 12 weeks (which is right after my next visit.)
I look forward to sharing stories and experiences with all of you. Happy and healthy pregnancies, everyone!!!
Hi everyone! My name is Heather and I'm 26yo and am currently 7wks 5days. This is my first pregnancy, I'm due May 19th. My first drs appt is next Friday, the 16th. I'm very nervous as I've had a lot of spotting early on but have been told by my dr and others it is normal. My fiancé is 25, our wedding is in January. This was unexpected but also welcome
Hello, I'm Katie and my hubby is Ed, we've been together for 6 and a half years and got married last year. I'm an older mum at 36 but previously was a younger mum as I had my daughter when I was 17. This is a much wanted baby, but will be emotive as my daughter died nearly 3 years ago aged 16. She wanted us to have kids but I so wish she was here to be part of it all. Because of this I'm finding it hard not to worry something will go wrong even though there's no reason to think it would. It was much easier when I was just 17!
Hi all! I'm Kelly. We are expecting #2, eta May 25th. Thing 1 was born early July 2014, and his due date was August 5. We moved to Arizona from the Bay Area in October 2014. I'm a preschool teacher, and Hubbster does computer voodoo for an HR company to keep them from getting hacked. No pets.
Fears this pregnancy include preterm labor (last dude was 2 weeks preemie) and not being able to get to the hospital in time. Last labor was 2 hours, 20-ish minutes, start to finish.
Hey everyone! I am 32, my hubs is 31. We live in WI. He's a teacher, I work in a hospital laboratroy. We just got married in March 2015. We wanted to start right away to have a family. This is #1 for both of us! We are beyond scared and excited at once! I had a total thyroidectomy last year. We waited to have our blessing to start trying from my endocrinologist. Aaaand here we are! "Little bun" will be here 5/18/16! This area is perfect for me to get excited on here and not spill the beans at work. I can't wait to tell our friends and family!!
My name is Valerie and I am a 31 years old. My husband of 9 years and I found out last Monday evening that we are expecting our first baby in May!!! We could not be more overjoyed with this news!! We have tried for many years, and had no luck. In April I had surgery and lost about 130lbs. We have been eating right and just enjoying life! We currently live in Columbus, Ohio. I am so thankful to have this website, with all the great information! I look forward to talking with you over these nex
My name is Jade and I'm 23. I'm really unfamiliar with all the terms and abbreviations so please help me out. This is my first baby and very much unexpected. My first OB appt is on the 15th of this month and my estimated due date is the 25th which is crazy because my birthday and my sisters birthday are the 23rd. So here's to hoping this baby doesn't early!
My boyfriend and I living a cute little house in Orion township MI. We are very excited but very nervous. I can't wait to hear more about everyone's stories and journey thorough out this crazy adventure into parenthood.
Hi, my name is Kate and I am 37 - will be 38 in a couple of months, and this is my first baby. This is our second try after a very short pregnancy several years ago. PCOS plus a tremendous fear of trying again delayed things a little but we are really excited and hope to be welcoming our first and possibly only child by mid-May. I have been lurking around here since I got my BFP around the date of my missed period a month ago, many of your comments, suggestions and jokes have been very useful to me so far and so I thought that I could contribute my two cents as well now that apparently we are on track at 7 weeks and 5 days - Yay!
Hello fellow Momma's! I'm Rebecca, 33 and Married for 14 1/2 years. We could never conceive even with doctors help so almost 3 years ago we started our journey to adoption. Last January our son was born and we couldn't have been happier!! We love him and his biological family so very much. ❤️ Then in May I had to have a sever surgery which ended in loosing half my reproductive organs. While heartbreaking we were ok bc we knew God brings your children to you in many ways. To our surprise at my regular OBGYN appt I found out I was pregnant! 13 years of trying, less an ovary and tube and NO doctors help! A complete Miracle! We are thrilled!!! We are due May 2, 2016 and though there's been some pregnancy 1st trimester stuff I couldn't care less! lol We are just so glad to be on this wonderful journey! I am a high risk bc of seizures from a brain injury 2 years ago from a car accident so any prayers are appreciated but we are trusting safely in God. So far all is good and we have heard our little miracles heartbeat! Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful pregnancy! Enjoy every blessed moment!
Hi! I'm Jill and this is my first! My DH and I have been married a little over 4 years and are so excited! I'm 7 weeks today and have my first u/s next week. EDD May 25th!
Hi ladies, my name is Jenn and I'm 32. My husband and I have been trying for 10 years we did 2 fresh IVF cycles and 1 FET cycle this past August. We put back 2 embryos and both took!!! This is are first pregnancy and we are super excited that it's twins!!! I had my first ultrasound last friday at 5 1/2 weeks to early for heartbeats. My next ultrasound is this friday at 6 1/2 weeks and we hope to hear 2 heartbeats!
Well I have to say, I am super surprised to be here! Just got a surprise BFP yesterday morning, after noticing that something was missing this month...and my boobs were sore!
My husband and I have been married six years, and we have a four year old and 2.5 year old, both boys. We live in southwestern Ontario, Canada.
I was on this board a fair bit with my first two pregnancies, and am hoping I find time to get to know everyone this time around!
Hi! I am due May 19th, based on my LMP. I have my first appointment tomorrow, which I am very excited for. I currently have a 2 1/2 YO boy and excited about #2. I have been married to my DH for 3 years, but we have been together for 10 years. I currently work part time and look forward to getting to know everyone as well as all the advice! The first time around it was so great to post questions and see everyone's experiences.
I am 32, H is 31, both born and raised in Germany, living in Australia for 1.5 years now, before that we traveled for 8 months.
Got pregnant on our first try, and I was shocked at first, as I expected it to take a whole lot longer, especially as I have many friends back home who struggled.
So after the initial shock and the initial guilt (why was it so easy?) I am getting more and more excited.
I am curious as to how we will do, so far from friends and family.
Also: I think pregnancy is far less glamorous than i expected it to be :-)
Hello mommies. I think I am ready to jump in and chat with some of y'all. I'm pregnant with #2. DD was born June 2013. My BFP was later than I expected but until my first ultrasound my EDD is 5/26. We live in Florida, and have been married over 5 years.
Hi, I am having my first baby around May 1st we've been married for 3 weeks!! We decided to start trying 2 months before our wedding because everyone said it would take FOREVER to get pregnant...it didn't! It was a little shocking to get a positive test on the first try. I'm pretty overwhelmed right now, and I've been pretty sick the entire time. My friends and Doctor promise me this will get better soon I'm excited to start "feeling pregnant" and not just constantly hungover;)
Hi May Mommas! I am due to have my first baby on May 18. DH and I live in upstate New York and got married in San Diego 3 weeks ago - that was also when we found out we are pregnant. We feel so blessed that we will be starting our family so soon. I've been very sick for the last 2 weeks but my mom promises things will get better very soon.
Not sure if anyone else has done this yet, but I've imagined my belly at all the upcoming holidays. I've thought about how nice it'll be to talk about the added family member that will be present during next year's holidays.
I'm looking forward to all the advice, positive thoughts, and common experiences I can gain from being part of this group with you!
My name is Lacey! My DH and I just moved to Salt Lake City this summer after getting married in July. I am 26 and my DH is 28. We got out BFP just a couple of weeks ago and our EDD is May 30. We weren't ttc but it is still a great feeling. We have always been very welcoming of children and can't wait to see where this journey takes us. As this is our first pregnancy I am a little worried about miscarriage. I know several people who have had them, so we are waiting till next month to start telling people.
It would be awesome to find other moms in the Salt Lake Area as we only know a couple of people here. We would love to make more friends
My name's Stacy. I'm pregnant with my first! I am so excited, happy and nervous all at the same time. I'm married to my husband of almost 4 years. We've been best friends since we we're 7. I currently live in Wilmington, NC. Originally from South Florida. I had my first ultrasound this past Wednesday, it was magical. My due date is May 24th. We are just over the moon excited to meet our little one. I'm so excited for everyone. I hope we all have happy, healthy pregnancies.
Hi, I'm Jemma, I'm 28 and live in the North East of the UK. My husband and I are very excited that I'm pregnant with our first baby. We have been married for 2 years and I am due around May 12th (finally reached 9 weeks on Thursday!) Looking forward to getting to know you all.
Hi, my name is Samantha, I am 20 years old and live in Renton, WA. This will be my first baby. My SO and I have been together for 1 year and 4 months. Baby is due May 5th, but I get my dating ultrasound in a little over a week, so excited to see the baby for the first time though
I am about 10 and a half weeks now, and feeling all symptoms just about. Being nauseous and extremely tired are my biggest ones, very excited for the nausea to hopefully pass soon.
We tell my parents today when they get in from Nashville, so today is a somewhat big day for me, very nervous is a good description.
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and getting to have an insight on all of your ladies pregnancies!!
Hi all! I'm Ashley, I'm 22 and currently in my final year of college. My boyfriend, 25, and I have been together almost 2 years and just recently found out that we are expecting with an unofficial EDD of May 24th. (Yay for expecting unexpectedly!!) We began planning our future and even had baby names picked out after only 4-5 months together, now we'll just be using one of them a little sooner than we'd originally planned!
Both of our families are extremely supportive and excited for what's to come, and we couldn't be happier to start this next part of our lives together. I've been reading everything credible resource I can get my hands on about pregnancy and I'm very excited to have a community of mamas to discuss everything with!
Hi ladies! I'm Sophie from Eugene, OR. I'm 24, and my fiancé Thomas is 21. I'm a 3/4 time student and he's a wildland firefighter. We've known each other for 14 years and have been dating for 3 and engaged for 2 years. We have one little black cat, Lucy. This is our first baby, second pregnancy. I had a miscarriage in 2013 that threw me for a huge loop, I can't say I'm entirely over it at this point, but I've moved forward. RAINBOW BABY! YAY!
I'm more excited about, and accepting of this pregnancy that DF is, but he's a lot less negative than he was when we found out two weeks ago. So at this point we're considering options, though I will 100% carry this baby to term, and it will either stay with us/me, or go to a loving family with more means to care for this child than we currently posess.. it's hard for me to think about, but I will do whatever is best for this little person.
I am 7w1d, give or take 4 days, and due May 29, 2016. I can't wait to meet my little cocopuff (so named from how much chocolate I've eaten /=) and am hoping it'll choose to stick.
I cannot WAIT to get to know you over the next 7 or so months, this is going to be a grand adventure!
My name is Michelle and I'm 25. I am definitely not your 25 year old average, I had to google "what does KU stand for pregnancy?" I am not very social media savvy nor do I know the acronyms for it. I am more of an old soul trapped in a young body, so I might not even understand all that is shared on your post, but bear with me. I am willing to learn!
Husband and I have been married for 2 years and dated for 5 years before getting married, we met in High School. We tried to get KU for 2 months and this will be our first miracle. I was certain that I was not pregnant because I kept on getting cramps, by day 4 of my missed period I took the a PT and I couldn't believe it, it was positive!
I told him the same day I found out, I could not keep it to myself. I knew I had been craving Italian cheese for a while, so we went out to eat to an Italian restaurant and had the waitress serve the PT test (in a box) while she serve our food. His face? Priceless!
My estimated due date is May 23rd.
I so happy to join this community as we haven't told anyone that we are expecting but his/my parents.
I've been lurking for a while and finally have the guts to post!
My name is Ammy and this is my first pregnancy, with a due date of May 19. SO and I live in Los Angeles CA, though we're from Toronto Canada (and Boston MA, very long story!). I am 8 weeks 4 days along, and miserable all afternoon (gah, incorrectly named morning sickness - I hate you!), and though SO is attempting to be understanding, I feel like I need more pregnant-lady vibes
We haven't told anyone yet - we're waiting for week 13 and all the tests and such to be done, but I love reading everyone's Spilling the Beans stories!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone! So excited!
I'm Lonni, I am 19 and DH is 23. I will be a first time mom to an unexpected baby, but I am so thankful for this blessing! I got my BFP September 14, the day before my expected period! I am also so terrified. Although I work in day care and am great with kids, it is no where near the same as being a mother and DH and I have a very small support system so we are kind of on our own. Between working and going to school full time it will be a little less than ideal but I know we can make it through and it is also why I am so thankful that boards like this exist! I look forward to getting to know all of you ladies over the next 9 months! I am aware that my age can be a little unnerving, especially for those of you who have worked so hard and long to get your BFPs, but I really hope that I can be welcomed with warm arms just like everyone else.
Hi! I'm Tara, and I am due May 28th!! This is my husband and i's first child and we are beyond thrilled!! It took us 8 months of trying but it finally happened!!
Hi everyone :-h my name is Anja, im 23 originally from Norway but now living in Oregon with my significant other who is 27. My estimated due date is May 29th, meaning im 7 weeks with my first! Im super nervous and excited at the same time @-) i have my first doctor's appt next week. I look forward to having this support group, and wish you all the very best :x
Hello everyone! I'm Amanda. My hubby and I are expecting our first little one! We're so excited! My official due date is June 4th but I'm high risk and doc said he won't let me go past 39 weeks max which is May 28th. He thinks I'll very likely go earlier than that. I just hope it's not too early! On the June board but since I now know May 28th to be the latest day possible to be pregnant, I wanted to say hi here. Healthy pregnancies everyone!
Howdy everyone! I'm kelly in Austin (like @austintoastie minus one E). I'm 33 and DH is 36. Our original due date was June 4 but today we found out we are having IDENTICAL TWINS! So, our EDD was pushed back to May 13.
We had an ectopic pregnancy in April 2014, then TTC for a year til we found out I have stage 4 endometriosis which forced our hands to ivf. Did a single frozen embryo transfer on September 17 not wanting twins, but life had other ideas I guess!
We're both in tech and have a 10 year old fur baby.

Hi everyone! I'm probably one of the last to join! I'm late to catch on lol! This pregnancy was a huge surprise for me and DH. We have been not trying/not preventing basically since lo was born (she's 4). I honestly wasn't sure we could. My cycles have never been regular. So I didn't think to test until (bizzarely) I had a dream that I was pregnant. And lo and behold. So my first appointment is Oct 27 and I am counting down the seconds. I think I am more paranoid with this one than the first! I was active on TB while pregnant with her (August 2011 moms!) and am glad to be back! Looking forward to this journey with you all!
