    ~Eme's mama, SAHM, BF, BLW, CD~

  • Hello! My name is Kelly and my due date is 8/7/16. I just turned 33 years old and this will be my 4th child! We are so excited! I have 1 girl, 11 years old, and 2 boys ages 3 and 4. We are hoping to even it out around here with another girl, but would be just as happy with another wild boy!

  • Hey all! I got my bfp Wed. I am 30 and live just outside of Portland,Or. We got lucky as this was our first month trying. We have a 3yr old son already. I am very excited for this pregnancy.
  • Hello Ladies,

    I am 27, DH is 32 and we got our first BFP yesterday. We'd been TTC since January so I am still kind of in shock that the pee sticks are not stark white anymore. FF shows our EDD as August 19, 2016. 

    I was pretty active in the TTGP board from August - October (took a break from all things TTC last month) so it is really nice to see some fellow TTGPers here!
  • Hi everyone my name is Crystal I'm 24 and from the state of Maine I got a positive test on black Friday! De gave me a EDD of 08/05/2016! This will be my first after years of trying due to PCOS and Endometriosis! I have a slight chance of twins due to getting pregnant with the medication Clomid my first ultrasound is on Thursday!
  • Hello! I'm Erin! I'm 33 yrs old, live in Michigan and an a nurse. I have a 7 year old! Just found out this past Friday I am expecting!!! Was not actively trying but not preventing, so total surprise! Hcg level 170 as of yesterday, will redrawn tomorrow to make sure it's increasing as expected. My Edd is August 18th. Puts me at about 4w3d. Super Excited but terrified! Have had 2 mc in 7 years. My fiancé has not experienced this at all as he's doesn't have any children and has never been married. He is so excited. Have to find a cute way to tell my son!!! Any ideas would be awesome!
  • I just found out and am still in disbelief. I am telling DH tonight by giving him an 'early Christmas present' ( we never wait until Xmas to exchange gifts) it will be the Where the Wild Things Are book and Where the Wild things Are onsie with the test. I kept contributing my symptoms to the stress of work and finals being around the corner. I actually took the test to kind of prove that I wasn't so I would stop googling and get back to studying. According to LMP my due date is August 19th. I am 24 and DH is 25, this is my first pregnancy. While I'm definitely excited, I'm really nervous/stressed because I am hoping to start nursing school next year. I am excited to have the support of this board through pregnancy and beyond.

  • Hey all! I'm 29, DH is 41. We have a 2yr old DD. I also had a mc in May of 14 at 7.5 wks. I am 4w4d and feeling good so far. Had low progesterone with the first two, but it's actually normal this time. Trying to stay positive, but with PGAL brain it's not easy. Hope everyone is feeling well and has an easy 9!

    Hello! I'm so excited to be here. My DW and I got our BFP on Monday and confirmed with our RE on Tuesday. We are both 36 and live in the Atlanta area. This will be our first and we are still surprised that we got a positive on our first IUI. Here's to a happy healty 9 months to everyone!
  • Hey all! 
    After TTC for almost 2 years we finally got a positive test after our first round of IVF. Tomorrow will be our first ultrasound, and I can not even contain myself. 
    According to online calculators I'm due August 9th, but not positive that is accurate. Due to the IVF we have a higher chance for miscarriages and other complications, but for right now I am happy to focus on being pregnant for as long as I can!

    Hi Everyone, my name is Liz and I'm due August 8th! This is my first pregnancy and am looking forward to all the ups and downs that pregnancy brings. Just out of curiosity, any moms on here that are athletes? Or were during any previous pregnancies? Since it is my first pregnancy I'm not really sure how to proceed with my job. Thanks in advance and congrats to all expecting mommas!!
  • Hi everyone, I'm Katie from South Florida. I'm 29 and my DH is 31. This is our first TTC cycle and I was shocked to see the BFP today! So excited- so nervous

  • Hey everyone! Congratulations to all of you! I got a faint line on a Wondfo and $0.88 Wal*Mart brand last night and confirmed with a First Response this morning. I am 25 (26 in January) and DH is 24. We live in Oregon and this will be our first child. EDD based off of LMP is 8/19/16. I will be calling my doctor's office once they open to make my first appointment which won't be for a while because they wait until they can see something on a U/S.

My husband and I have one daughter who turned two in October. EDD based on LMP is 8/24/16.

    Congratulations to you all and wishing everyone a H&H pregnancy!

  • Hi everyone! I am completely shocked to have gotten a BFP today- I had a MMC in September at 9 wks, D&C in early October, and we were supposed to be waiting one more cycle to TTC (I already got one period), but..uh....I guess a condom broke? I am in shock and can't decide if I should be excited or scared or nervous. I mean, I'm definitely excited! But PGAL, especially when we were not trying to try yet, feels crazy. Thankfully I was taking my prenatal vitamin most days, but I'm cringing at all the alcohol I drank over Thanksgiving.

    I have an awesome 2.5 year old girl as well, and was very active on her board a few years ago. I'm so thankful TB is here for me to get this out today- I have soooo many feelings.  
  • Hello Everyone,

    I'm artcheese, 29 with a 18month old DS and currently residing in the great northwest. I used to be an active member on DS birth month board but then a bunch of stuff went down with the bump and we all left. I'm trying it out again to see how it is when everyone responds with rainbow fart answers.

    New LOs due date is around Aug 16th.

  • HI everyone! My name is melanie I'm 20 years old this is my first baby and was a bit of a surprise for me and my DH we found out last week Wednesday and my due date is august 3.
  • Hi all! my name is Megan and I've been watching this board since I got my BFP just before Thanksgiving, but have been too nervous to post in case I jinx things. (I'm 39 and I know the risks are higher when you're older!) We had our first prenatal appointment today, saw the heartbeat and the doctor said everything looks great so far... So I guess this is really happening! This is our first and my husband and I are crazy excited. Looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you as well!
  • Hello everyone!

    I'm thrilled to be joining all of you here! I am 32 years old and I just got a BFP this morning! This will be my second pregnancy (and probably my last one). My daughter is two years old. I live in Des Moines with my husband, my daughter, and two cats.

    Based on my ovulation date, FF says I'm due on August 26th. My husband and I had been TTC for 6 months, so I was really happy to see that second line! August is typically really hot and humid here, so it might be an uncomfortable final month of pregnancy, but I'll take it!

  • Hello! I'm 29 and pregnant with my second child due August 22! My DD is 7 months old. I got pregnant shortly after I stopped breastfeeding, but lost that pregnancy at 6 weeks. Luckily we got pregnant again right away! My DH is very supportive, but unfortunately will be out of the country for 10 weeks starting in February. I became a SAHM with the birth of my daughter. I'm excited to share joys and struggles on The Bump!
  • Hi all! I'm Jenn, 24, and a complete newbie!! Hopefully I can catch up on baby lingo quickly.... I think I'm 5W, had a chem. last month. 1st CNM appt not till Jan 8, but we're thinking of announcing to family on Christmas....crossing fingers all is well with baby!
  • Hi All! I'm Ashley and I am almost 5 weeks pregnant.  I found out about a week ago.  This will be our 3rd kid. We have 2 boys 3.5 and 14 months.  I haven't even called yet, because I am trying to figure out where I want to deliver.  I have my annual appt on Friday and plan to talk to my primary doctor then.  I have quick labors and I'm afraid that my old hospital might be too far away, as I barely made it last time for the birth of our second son.  However, the hospital closest only has 3 CNM none of which see patients in the hospital, which I am use to.

  • Hey all!
    My name is Randa. I am 29 and from Altoona, PA. I am pregnant with my first with an EDD of 8/13/15. I am super excited but also super scared.
  • Hi Ladies! I'm Sarah, both my husband and I are 28, living in eastern PA. Just got a BFP yesterday after an incredibly emotional month and a half. Miscarried our first in October, I was about 12 weeks and only measured 9.

    Right before Thanksgiving I think with the continued pressure and stress of surgery and the loss I managed to get Shingles. I added stress at that point because we were TTC but cut short at the recommendation of the doctor and the medicine required. The BFP yesterday was the best start to this week, even though I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or cry.

    With all that happened I was not expecting get pregnant this first time trying. I'm going to take another HPT later this week then call for my first appointment. My calculated EDD is August 26. I'm so excited and congrats to all!

  • Hey all!  Super nervous but I think Im ready to put it in black and white!  Im 31 and so is DH we just found out 2 weeks ago we're pregnant with #3 :-)  EDD on 8/10 This is my 4th pregnancy as I had a miscarriage between my first two.  Im also super paranoid that one of my former bmb mams is going to see me here so if you do shhhhh.. ;-)  Im not quite ready to go full public yet!  We've been trying for this pregnancy for 8 months and are so excited to add another to our family!  We just bought a new house, I just started as a LuLaRoe consultant so hey why not throw a third kid in the mix right?!  We live in Massachusetts :-)
