  • Hi ladies! I'm excited to join this group...even though I'm pretty nervous! 
    *TW--loss mentioned*
    I got my BFP a couple days ago with a digital that put me at 2-3 weeks since O. EDD is 12/8. DH and I have been TTC since October 2015. I had an early loss at 5 weeks in December, so I'm trying my best to stay positive this time around, even though the anxiety is killer! Hoping this is our rainbow baby and that I get to stay hanging out on this board!

  • Hello ladies and congratulations!  I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.  I just had a baby boy on September 7, 2015 and I found out I'm pregnant again.  I'm due December 13th which also happens to be my moms birthday.  I also have a two year old son that was born on December 31, 2013.  I'm excited because I have another chance at possibly having a daughter and I love babies.  I'm nervous because I had a very rough pregnancy the last time and don't want to repeat that pregnancy.  However, I'm looking forward to getting know all of you and having a healthy pregnancy!

  • Hi ladies! Welcome!
     @jastock20 MH is a welder as well. 
    This is far from my first rodeo and I'm actually completely unsure of my due date at the moment. DH and I have decided we wanted to at least try for a third before I decided to go through with a hernia surgery that I need to schedule. Nothing extremely major just to have my belly button fixed. I'm currently exclusively breastfeeding DD2 who just turned 8 months last week. Without a return of a period I hadn't started tracking O. Turns out it must of happened sometime last month. Got my BFP after DD1 told the cashier at Wegmans that she was getting a baby brother. (Insert awkward look) I guess this explains the midnight bathroom trips. FX for heathy growing beans! Best Wishes ladies. I hope to stick around. 

    DH & I are both 28    Together: 12 years    Married: 09/24/2011

    BFP#1: January '12 - DD1 09/16/2012

    Preterm labor 31 weeks. Monitored for Hellp and diagnosed with oligohydramnios July '12

    BFP #2: 06/25 - EDD 03/05/15 MMC confirmed 8/1 - D&E 8/4 retained tissue discovered 8/20

    Hi Everyone!

    I am 32 and DH is 31, this will (FX) be our second child.  We have been trying since July so we were both super excited to see that BFP on Monday (15dpo approx).  

    We have a 2.5 year old who definitely predicted this pregnancy (told me and everyone else for a week before the BFP that I was having a baby).

    Edited to add: I live in San Diego.

    Congratulations to everyone!  Here's to a happy and healthy 40 weeks!

  • Hello,  looks like I'm joining the club (fingers crossed!) I'm 34yo, and 5w5d. Other than a bit of an acne flare-up and getting winded much more easily than normal, no real complaints, just happy! I'm sure that'll be changing soon, though!
  • Hi my name is Kristen, I just found out TODAY that I'm pregnant. I was on the pill so I'm a little shocked to say the least. My oldest daughter is 8 and my youngest is 10 months. So yeah, not to thrilled on having babies back to back. Hoping this group can help me out! 
  • Hi everyone, I'm Deanna and my husband is Alex. I'm 28 and he's 29. We got our BFP a little over a week ago! I have my first exam yesterday but my ob didn't really do too much since I'm really early(5 weeks,4days). I'll go back in 3 weeks for an ultrasound. Our edd is 12/02/16. This is our first pregnancy and we are so excited!! Congrats and good luck to everyone!
  • Hi ladies! Found out we were pregnant on our last day of our 2 week European adventure on 4/1 with EDD of 12/8. I am 26 and DH is 28 and this is our first baby! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats in Colorado.

    We were lucky enough to get pregnant during our first month TTC - I have extremely irregular cycles so I was surprised to say the least. Congrats and best wishes to everyone!
  • Hi! I finally feel brave enough to officially join! I have an adorable son who will be 2 in June. (Hi @JulieSmiles)DH and I have been trying for 2.0 for 12 months now and finally (while we were in the process of testing to get support) we got KU! I've had low progesterone so had 3 blood tests to check hCG and it went from 31 to 71 to now 985! So now I am confident saying we are pregnant! Based on my O date, due date should be 12/7.
  • Hi All, I'm super excited to be joining the December 2016 moms. I'm 29 and my DH is 39. This is our first baby and we were trying since January. I got my bfp on 3/29 so it's all new for us and just settling in. Due date is 12/13/16. 
  • Hello! *fyi, losses mentioned in intro and siggy*

    My name is Emily. I am 29 and live in the PNW. I have two daughters, ages 4 and 1, and miscarried twice in between our two girls, so this is my 5th pregnancy. Still a little nervous, but also feeling very hopeful about this sweet one. 

    OB gave me a due date of Nov. 29th, but I'm certain of the day I ovulated, and both my girls were very late (41w1d and 40w6d, respectively), so I'm fairly confident this will be a December baby barring any surprises. Based on my date of ovulation, I was given a 12/3 due date. 

    I'm excited for this journey with you ladies!

  • Hi Ladies!

    I'm Jodie. I live in the PNW and I'm 35. DH (age 29) and I are now expecting our very first child. This is my first BFP after nearly 2.5 years of TTC. Due to MF infertility, we skipped right over IUI and went straight to IVF. We are lucky enough to have 3 healthy embryos frozen that all tested chromosomally normal (2 girls and a boy) and had one (a girl) implanted last month. We found out on 3/31 (confirmed with 2nd test on 4/2) that everything seems to have worked.

    My EDD is 12/6 and my first US is 4/26. Other than feeling really tired, I feel pretty good far.

    Really excited to finally be here!

    EQD born 12/15!

  • Hello Ladies!  I'm hopefully here to stay. I had a CP in February but the last three mornings have had faint positives on the pee sticks.  My LMP was March 11th so that would put me at December 16th as my due date.  My DH and I have been married almost 11 years and have a 5 year old son.  He has mild ASD so it took us a while to decide to have another baby, but we know we want one and we want our son to have a sibling. Good Luck everyone!!

  • Hi, my name is Tricia.  I'm a homeschooling mom of four.

    In the past 18 months we have experienced 3 miscarriages and a stillbirth at 20 weeks.  My husband and I weren't going to try again until August, but Surprise!  Here we are!

    Trying not to get too excited, but I'm trying to think positive.  

    Ive been working out the last 5 months and eating a ketogenic diet.  It has helped tremendously with losing the baby weight and getting me to a place of control in my life. I plan to add in starchy fruit and vegetables when I hit the second trimester.

    Excited to take this journey with you!

  • Hello ladies!
    My name is Rachel. I'm 31 and this is my 4th pregnancy. I already have three girls and this will be our last baby. I just had my mirena out March 2nd and we were going to start TTC this summer after our 10 year anniversary in July. We had a condom malfunction and here we are. I have never gotten pregnant easily and have always had to try (2 years and 3 rounds of clomid for our first) so this was quite a shock. December is the one month I wanted to all around avoid since both my husband and my middle daughters birthdays are right after Christmas. At least I am due at the beginning this time. I am really happy to be here and looking forward to settling in and making friends.
    Rachel, mama to Ava (6), Olivia (4), Nora (2), and baby#4 on the way.

    Hello! Just found out I'm pregnant. I'm 35 and DH is 37. This will be our first LO. I should be around 4wks.

    TW-Loss mentioned

    I found out December 2015 I had a blighted ovum and I had a D&C in January 2016. I've had two complete cycles. I'm very nervous about this pregnancy because of the loss but I'm trying to be positive and hopeful.
  • Hi all!  **TW - Loss Mentioned**

    Jumping in with cautious optimism! BFP on 3/23, confirmed today via blood test, first appt will be next week. According to LMP I'm due 11/29 but knowing that I ovulated later, I'd like to hang out on the December board with you ladies. 

    I'm 30, DH is 31, we live in TX, and this is our 2nd pregnancy. The first ended with a D&C a week before Christmas (blighted ovum). We are very excited to have conceived again quickly, and I am surprisingly not as anxious as I thought I'd be. I'm being optimistic and **trying** to keep in mind that worrying won't help anything.

    DH is away on a TDY, and will miss the entire first trimester, but I was so glad he got to see the BFP two days before leaving. After the D&C we were benched for 3 months, but due to the upcoming TDY we cut that a little short to try again.  

    Wishing everyone a healthy, happy pregnancy, and looking forward to getting to know y'all. :)

  • Hello!
    Just got a surprise BFP yesterday (4-6) I'm guessing I'm due around the 11th give or take (my cycles have been off recently). I have a 4yo daughter and a 10 month old son. 
    I'm very anxious about having 3 kids and 2 under 2, but mostly excited!

    Hello! My name's Tabitha, (22) and myself and my boyfriend (35) just found out 3 days ago that there is indeed a little one on the way! This is our first child, we were not TTC, it happened using the pull-out method and we could not be happier and we are embracing what God gave us.
  • Hi everyone! I'm 34 and we found out on Monday that I'm pregnant. Because of my age, we were expecting it to take longer, but nope - it happened on our first try! It's still obviously so early (5 weeks and 1 day) but we're cautiously excited! I'm also happy this community is here and we can all share our experiences. It doesn't even feel real yet! 
  • hi! I got a BFP on April 2nd. I had to wait a long time for my new account to be able to post. I was on TB while preg with my son in 2014, but deleted it in 2015 for privacy concerns after my group migrated. He's 18 months now. :)

    I'm 38, DH is 40, and we had one m/c in 2004. I'm only 4w4d at this point and have had spotting since a week ago, so having to wait and see what u/s says on April 20.  Going to a new OB; was not happy with my old one. Anyway, trying not to have PGAL brain and just be patient! My lmp was March 3, and based on a 31+ day usual cycle I think due around Dec 11th.

    i was pretty active on my last bmb (sept 14), but I don't know if I will be on as much this time since my son is like the Tasmanian devil, and we are gearing up to sell our house. Working from home as an artist is nearly impossible. I need more space. 


  • Hello! I'm Chelsea :)  I am 26 (27 next month) & currently a SAHM to my daughter (11 months). I previously taught HS English. My hubby (29) & I live in Southern Illinois & do a bit of farming. We just found out we are expecting on Sunday! It was confirmed by the OBGYN on Wednesday. No US yet though so due date is only estimated to be Dec 4th(ish!). We weren't planning on getting pregnant so soon (took 1.5 years for first) but are still very excited! I was only a "lurker" here during my last pregnancy so I thought I'd actually introduce myself this time!  :p Best of luck to you all, ladies!
  • Hi ladies!  Cautiously joining this BMB, got a faint + on an IC this morning, but a line is a line! Long time knottie/bumpie, a lot has changed here since I had my first two. I am 35, with 2 DDs, 6yo and 4yo, I guess also now I fall in the AMA category.  Looking to get to know you all over the next 9 mos!  Oh and EDD is 12/18, (I don't even know what my siggy says anymore, gotta figure out how to edit it on this format)
  • Hey Everyone! I'm 35 an DH is 41 this will be our fifth child. We have a 14yro, 11yro, 10yro and a 16 month old. I got my bfp on Tuesday which was unexpected and a surprise since it was the exact same day two years ago when we found out we were pregnant with our 16 month old. 
    I'm excited to get to know everyone on here!
  • @leksiL -welcome!  Congrats on your BFP!  It's so awesome see TTGP people on the boards since you pull for everyone daily to get there.  Have you researched Zika in Jamaica?  It may be under-reported, but I didn't read it was a huge problem there, yet.  I was just in Negril in November and only got a few bites at dusk.  I think the ocean breeze keeps them at bay except for in the evening.

    Hi everyone! My name's Erin, I'm new here! I'm still learning acronyms and such, so please bear with me as I pick everything up!

    I'm 32 / will be 33 in July and this is my first pregnancy. My husband is 36 / will be 37 in a couple days. We've been together for about 10 years and married for almost 3. We have a 2 year old cat named Penny - she is very cute. I got my positive home test on 3/31 and blood test confirmations on 4/1 and 4/4 (HCG levels were 667 and 2080, respectively). I have my first actual appointment on 4/26.

    Anyway, husband and I are both very excited but a little nervous since this is all very new for us both. I'm feeling good besides a little minor cramping and spotting. Fingers crossed that the doc gives me the all clear in a few weeks!

    I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and I'm VERY GLAD my new member waiting period is over. I guess now I get to figure out what I want my signature settings to be :smiley:

  • @lekskil Congrats!  Nice to see another name over here from ttc :)  We were in Mexico earlier this month and I only got a couple of bites.  There weren't any bugs out during daylight, just a few starting at dusk.
