Hi everyone! I'm 25 DH is 28 and we're now on to baby number 2! DS is 11 months old! We're trying to keep this pregnancy on the DL as long as possible as we shared the news super early last time... and the 9 months were excruciatingly long! (But it's so hard keeping it a secret) I had a tough delivery and recovery so I'm weighing a lot of delivery options this time around. I didn't use any of these Community boards with my 1st pregnancy .... But I'm really excited I discovered it now because I have NO friends my age who are even remotely in the same stage of life as my husband and I. (Which makes life difficult for us) looks like my due date is the 24th ... Thanksgiving I believe this year! No cooking or cleaning for me, Just eating! Yay!
I am so excited to be a part of this community. I am 27, I found out I was pregnant on the 16th of this month. I am 5w3d today and feeling all the symptoms... nausea, bloating, achy breasts, and fatigue. This is my 1st pregnancy, we have been TTC since November of last year. I was using a fertility app that has helped make this possible (est. 11/27). I have been off BC for about a year. My PCP appointment was this morning and all is well. Can't wait to post an update at my 4/20 app with my OB and my first US on that thread. We are all smiles.
Looking forward to getting to know you ladies through our experience
Hey everyone! Congrats to all you pregnant mamas! I'm Veronica (27) , pregnant with my first baby and beyond excited! DH (37) & I have been married since November 2013 and started trying January of this year. Got KTFU quicker than I thought :P Took a HPT on 3/4 and it came out as a BFP, much to our delight.
My EDD is around Election Day, DH & I joke that it's probably our baby's destiny to be a future president and save the world haha.
Excited to have this space to share our journeys through pregnancy
Hi ladies! I'm Carolyn (34) and pregnant with our 3rd baby. DH and I live near Seattle, WA with DD (almost 4), DS (1.5), and our two cats. This BFP was definitely a surprise, but as we've gotten over the initial shock we're both excited about it. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Hi all! I have been lurking around here since I found out 2 weeks ago we are expecting, but I wanted to wait until the first ultrasound before I introduced myself. I have been married for 9 years and of those we have been trying for 8. I am 30 (as of the 22nd) and my DH is 38. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism and due to those being diagnosed for so long I have had 3 chemical MC's in the past. However, We, including my amazing Dr, have a good feeling about this little one. As my mother said to me, "We are declaring this good." I am measuring 6W5D as of today. I had my sonogram yesterday and we saw the most perfect little squiggle and heartbeat of 114. My Dr thinks the ultrasound looked great and the baby is place perfectly. Fingers crossed my little Mr. Squiggles is a very sticky baby.
Hi there!! I'm probably the young one on this board. I'm 5+1 weeks pregnant with our first baby and we are over the moon excited to be parents!! Looking forward to getting to know you ladies! We haven't had our first appointment yet but our EDD is November 30th!
Hi everyone! I'm Bridget. 36 and hubby is 42. We have a gorgeous almost 6 year old son. Currently expecting #2 on Nov 7, 2016. 3 rounds of fertility; )
Hello! I was an active member of 014 on TB (and now in our FB group)(started a new account for privacy reasons) and I have a 18 month son. I am 34 and I live in the deep south. Just got my BFP on Easter with a due date of 11/29.
I had GD last go round and had a successful induction on 9/26. I believe in epidurals, formula, pampers, and logic. I also like pina colodas and long walks on the beach!
Hello everyone! Me and my husband are 27. I've known I'm pregnant (for the first time aaaah) for a couple weeks now, but I just found out I'm 6w2d so here I come to the November board.
I got an ultrasound earlier this week, turns out I have a SCH which has been causing some scary spotting. Hopefully it clears up soon. It was a little early for the heartbeat, so I'm looking forward to my next ultrasound in two weeks so I can breathe easier!
Hello Everyone! I'm Katie. This is my first intrauterine pregnancy - I've had 2 ectopics - 1 in each tube, and 3 surgeries to attempt to repair the damage. So my husband and I are super excited to have conceived naturally after all of that trauma. We are due November 7th, which is my sister's birthday. Very Happy to be here!
Hey y'all! I am 27 and DH is 33. This is my fourth pregnancy. I have a 22mo DS and had two previous mmc, one ended at 8 wks (Aug15) and one ended at 6 wks (Jan16). I started seeing a holistic practitioner after the last loss and through Nutrition Response Testing began allowing my body to heal. We were supposed to wait 3 months before "trying" again, but I guess God had other plans! This pregnancy was totally a shock.
My labs looked good and today I had an ultrasound. Baby is measuring 6 weeks and 6 days with a beautiful heartbeat. We are keeping this pregnancy really quiet, only our immediate families know and a few random, close friends who happened to ask about it.
I lurked in May14 bmb, and intro'd in the previous bmb's but since they ended in mc never really posted anything... I don't know how much I'll be around but I wanted to intro anyway. I'm an RN turned SAHM, and the longer I'm a mom the crunchier I get currently breastfeeding DS, use cloth diapers, eat paleo, use whole food supplements, the list goes on. Happy to be here!
Hey all, I'm late to the party (intentionally) but I'm finally starting to feel confident enough to join. Edd is 11/4 and we will be team green. The last year and a half has been a very rough journey for DH and me. Details in the box. TW multiple losses.
Dh and I started TTC in September of 2014. He has 2 wonderful boys from his ex. They are now 9 and 11yo. We decided we wanted at least 1 together so I stopped my BC and started TTC. It took us 4 cycles to get our first BFP which happened right around new year's of last year. Everything seemed to be going well and at our dating ultrasound everything looked great. Baby was measuring right on track and had a nice strong HB. At my first prenatal visit however things were not so great. At 11w6d the Dr couldn't find baby's hb with the Doppler so they took us in for an ultrasound where we found out that our baby was only measuring 8+6 and no longer had a HB. I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage and had a D&C the next day(March 3rd). Of course at this point everyone was telling me that this is totally normal and I find out just how common miscarriages really are because no one talks about this shit! But we moved on because that's all you can really do and 2 cycles later we got another BFP. During week 5 I started bleeding. I ended up in the ER and was diagnosed with a SCH and a threatened miscarriage. I spent the next week just about losing my mind because they kept telling me it could resolve itself and I wasn't definitely going to lose the baby. Well after about a week the bleeding broke loose and I went back to the ER and ended up having an emergency D&C to prevent me from bleeding out. After this loss my OB checked me for clotting disorders but that all came back clear. We weren't very careful and got another bfp before my next AF but the OB wouldn't confirm that it was a new pregnancy because the numbers were low and dropping. I got AF before they checked me the second time so they started tracking me down to zero. They failed to tell me, however, that they wanted me to wait to TTC and we got another confirmed BFP that cycle. Again the numbers were very low and not doubling properly and we lost that one within a week. At this point they sent me to an RE and we went thru all the testing and still everything came back within normal limits. We were told that we could continue to try naturally and hope things worked out or we could do IVF with genetic screening. We choose to continue naturallyyearAt the end of December we got our fourth BFP within a year. The numbers were a little on the low side but were doubling well. Our first ultrasound was good but was a little behind what we expected. We did get to hear a very faint heartbeat at that time too. Unfortunately yet again I started bleeding within a week of the ultrasound(Jan 27th. My loss was confirmed by a second ultrasound where we saw that the baby was already gone. While waiting out the next cycle DH and I thought we had avoided my FW but apparently failed at Tmy yet again. I had temped enough that cycle to confirm O but hadn't kept track of anything else so when AF didn't show up the day I expected or the next morning I decided to rule out being pregnant. To my surprise I actually had an obvious BFP! Not even a squinter. Of course this was on a Sunday so I called the REB the next morning and got my levels checked. They were much higher and doubled very well. My first ultrasound this time measured only a day off what we expected and my second ultrasound still looked great. At this point we have passed all the loss milestones except for our first loss and I'm actually starting to feel like I might have a happy ending after all the heartbreak. I'm 9w today and the RE said we could graduate to the OB.
I wasn't able to edit the Google sheet, but I'm 26, as is the boyfriend. This is our first pregnancy and it came as surprise! I wasn't prepared for the nausea, the unwelcome boost to my sense of smell, the mood swings, or anything else that's come along with this, but we're excited (as well as nervous) to welcome our little one at the end of it all.
I'm 7 weeks and 5 days currently, due November 13th. We'll be finding out the gender as soon as possible - already ready to start buying nursery decorations!
I have decided to stop lurking and join in! I am currently 9 weeks pregnant with my second child and due November 2nd. I am a graduate student studying hearing science and finishing up my PhD in the near future. I look forward to getting to know all of you!
TW
My first child, Caroline, was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 and lived for two beautiful months knowing only love. I miss her so much and hope that I will get the chance to tell this baby about his/her amazing big sister.
Hi there! My name is Jess and I found out a couple of days ago that I'm pregnant with baby #2! I had the flu last week and thought that since I was sick, my period would come a little bit later. It never did and we were very surprised to say the least when I got my BFP earlier this week. The EDD is 11/28/16.
We have a DS who is 9 months after four and a half years of trying with many losses. He decided that 8/14 was not a good EDD and came into the world on 7/4. Even thought he was early, he's a very healthy little boy.
It's so nice to 'meet' you all!
5/16/2005: M/C at 7 wks
5/3/2010:MM/C at 7 wks 6 days
5/25/2014:CP at 4 wks 3 days
Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled. However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15! Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!
Surprise! Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due. Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!
Third times the charm! BFP on 4/18/2019, EDD: 12/18/2019!
Hey y'all! This is my first pregnancy and my first time on a message board at all so please bear with me as I struggle to understand all the acronyms and other jargon. I'm 29 and DH is 28. This pregnancy took us by surprise for sure... I had an IUD removed after 5 years because DH and I were hoping to try. OBGYN told us it would take at least 8 weeks for my hormones and everything to get back to normal, so when I still didn't have a MP after 8 weeks I was distraught. Imagine my surprise when I discovered later I was actually pregnant!!! DH and I are thrilled, surprised, and honestly... Scared to be first time parents. Since my LMP was actually 5 years ago, they did an early US to measure the little monkey to see how far along I am. We are looking at an EDD of Nov. 12. I'm so happily overwhelmed and I can't wait to be on this journey with y'all!!!
We are thinking that we are due late November with baby #3. We have two sweet girls that are 5 and 18 months. DH & I are 31 and have been married for 7 years. We suffered 2 losses (MC & an Ectopic pregnancy) prior to having DD#2.
Hi, I am 25 and this is my first pregnancy! It was a bit of a surprise but we were going to start trying soon anyway so it works out! We are super excited! I am a teacher and I do plan on working till the baby comes. I am dues 11/17 and will take 12 weeks for ML. First appointment is on the 11th this month and I can't wait! Hubby does not want to find out the sex of the baby but idk if I'll be able to wait so we will see!
Hi all! I am pregnant with my first child, due Nov 12. *TW* I have been TTC for 4 years and have had two blighted ovums- was so so nervous for another (it is the ultimate disappointment to be told you're pregnant and then see just an empty gestational sac) but at 7w2d we saw a baby and a heartbeat of 155. When the tech said "and that's your baby" I burst into tears. I am 8 weeks today and still nervous, but trying to take it day by day!
Hey everyone, I am Angel. My husband and I are both 33 and we have a 16 month son. My EDD is Nov 13th. My son was a c-section 4 weeks early due to preeclampsia...we are hoping for a smoother pregnancy this time. I had my first appt yesterday and found out we are having twins! Its still sinking in. Im looking forward to getting to know some of you over the next months!
Hi! My name is Mal. This is our second baby. Our son J is 4 years old. My DD is November 19. Today I am 7 weeks along! Very excited. My husband got deployed last week and won't be back until just before the baby is born! Kinda nervous but with support from my friends and family I can do this.
I'm Adrian and I'm a little over 6 weeks. I'm new to this and I don't know how everybody put the little countdown tickers in their replies. Very cute. Is anyone else having super not fun all day sickness? I'm a teacher and I seriously don't know how I'm going to finish out the year. It's rough.
@aestabr welcome! I am a teacher too (3rd grade) and with going back to school tomorrow after spring break I am not looking forward to it! I feel your pain!
Hi all! I'm a 32yo mum to 9yo DD, plus the new one cookin. My favourite things (right now) are marveling at the size of my breasts, eating lemons and being bed-bound with morning sickness for 24 hours at a time. Also struggling with not telling DD until first scan, who will probably wet herself with joy as she has always been desperate for a sibling.
I introduced on the PGAL board, but not here yet. I am 32, DH is 34. We conceived our first child on our honeymoon and he was born in 2014. We began trying for #2 again when DS turned 1, and did get pregnant right away, but lost that baby before the 5 week mark. We went on to have two more early losses. Blood work got started, but everything came up negative. A HSG was my next step, but we got pregnant again. I am currently 6w2d, however ovulated a little late, so I'm sure that date may change, but DS was early by a week, so who knows. I have my first ultrasound on 4/11. Hoping and praying that this is a sticky baby!
Our Journey: DS born 05/14 Losses 06/15, 09/15, 02/16
Hi! My name is Andrea. I'm 36 and I have daughter born 2011 was starting to think she was going to be an only child. But found out Friday that I'm 6 weeks. Due Date Nov 24th. I happy and excited but worry also as I have been bleeding for 3 weeks... but heartbeat and everything baby related seems ok for now. I go back to Dr on Friday to see about the bleeding again.
I'm Sam. DH is 47 and I'm 39. Elderly primigravida- isn't that a flattering term for over 35 and finally getting pg for the 1st time-ha! It only took 3 months of clomid, 5 IUIs, 2 IVFs, and 10 years of why am I not pg yet to get here. Due Nov 23rd. So in denial that it's real I couldn't bring myself to introduce earlier. Plus I'm bleeding for the last 2 weeks, but had an early US and seems to be ok (fingers and toes crossed!!) Wishing everyone luck for a happy and safe pregnancy!
Age: 39 and holding Unexplained infertility NTNP: 10 years! TTC: Since 2014 5 IUI: BFN IVF 1: MC IVF 2: BFP! DD 11/20/16
I am Girpipley, I've been on the board for a long long time, and am cautiously introducing myself again. I have a long sad story, but I'll keep it short.
I have a 5 yo DD, perfectly normal pregnancy. I lost twins at 20 weeks in 2015 after a 6 week long battle on hospital bedrest. It started with a placenta abruption and ending with an infection and we lost both babies, one born alive and one still. We then lost a singleton at 16 weeks about 9 months later, also from a placenta abruption.
I have been working with an amazing doctor who diagnosed me with thrombophilia and celiacs and am now on lovenox and a mess of other meds, and also pregnant!
Im 6w6d pregnant with another set of TWINS, who started out as quads, but it looks like we lost two today. We heard two perfect heartbeats today and I am choosing to look at this pregnancy with hope and positivity and nothing else. I'm taking these babies home.
I need to update my siggy, which I'll do later, so sorry for the out of date photos!
I can't wait to dive in and enjoy the next 8-9 months with you ladies!!
Mom to P (12/7/10) Step-Mom-to-be to H (05/29/13) BFP 10/13/14 TWINS! 20 week loss of both twins, Scott Feivel and Miles Conrad BFP 06/19/2015 16 week loss, Penny June 2015 Working with RI; Diagnosed with thrombopheiia and celiacs BFP 03/12/16 TWINS AGAIN! PLEASE BE OUR RAINBOWS

But I DONT CARE I am so excited to be a mom and TO MAKE some mom friends.I know it will all be worth the harsh learning!!

Does anyone keep up with reading this crazy long thread? I can't the sheets app to work on my phone and my pregnant self isn't in the mood to deal with it. Ahem. TW I'm Caitlin, this is my fourth pregnancy and we've got an almost two year old. We lost a baby at 22 weeks last summer to what they think was a placental abruption (no real cause found) and then miscarried in December. We're hopeful, but ya know. Growing babies isn't for the faint of heart. It's offish. I'm family.

Hello! I was an active member of 014 on TB (and now in our FB group)(started a new account for privacy reasons) and I have a 18 month son. I am 34 and I live in the deep south. Just got my BFP on Easter with a due date of 11/29.
I had GD last go round and had a successful induction on 9/26. I believe in epidurals, formula, pampers, and logic. I also like pina colodas and long walks on the beach!
Shout out to @sweetlyuntied !!
I got an ultrasound earlier this week, turns out I have a SCH which has been causing some scary spotting. Hopefully it clears up soon. It was a little early for the heartbeat, so I'm looking forward to my next ultrasound in two weeks so I can breathe easier!
I'm Katie. This is my first intrauterine pregnancy - I've had 2 ectopics - 1 in each tube, and 3 surgeries to attempt to repair the damage. So my husband and I are super excited to have conceived naturally after all of that trauma. We are due November 7th, which is my sister's birthday. Very Happy to be here!

I have decided to stop lurking and join in! I am currently 9 weeks pregnant with my second child and due November 2nd. I am a graduate student studying hearing science and finishing up my PhD in the near future. I look forward to getting to know all of you!

My first child, Caroline, was diagnosed with Trisomy 13 and lived for two beautiful months knowing only love. I miss her so much and hope that I will get the chance to tell this baby about his/her amazing big sister.
Hi there! My name is Jess and I found out a couple of days ago that I'm pregnant with baby #2! I had the flu last week and thought that since I was sick, my period would come a little bit later. It never did and we were very surprised to say the least when I got my BFP earlier this week. The EDD is 11/28/16.
We have a DS who is 9 months after four and a half years of trying with many losses. He decided that 8/14 was not a good EDD and came into the world on 7/4. Even thought he was early, he's a very healthy little boy.
It's so nice to 'meet' you all!
Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled. However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15! Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!
Surprise! Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due. Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!
We are thinking that we are due late November with baby #3. We have two sweet girls that are 5 and 18 months. DH & I are 31 and have been married for 7 years. We suffered 2 losses (MC & an Ectopic pregnancy) prior to having DD#2.
Congrats to everyone!
I am 25 and this is my first pregnancy! It was a bit of a surprise but we were going to start trying soon anyway so it works out! We are super excited! I am a teacher and I do plan on working till the baby comes. I am dues 11/17 and will take 12 weeks for ML.
First appointment is on the 11th this month and I can't wait!
Hubby does not want to find out the sex of the baby but idk if I'll be able to wait so we will see!

I have been TTC for 4 years and have had two blighted ovums- was so so nervous for another (it is the ultimate disappointment to be told you're pregnant and then see just an empty gestational sac) but at 7w2d we saw a baby and a heartbeat of 155. When the tech said "and that's your baby" I burst into tears.
I am 8 weeks today and still nervous, but trying to take it day by day!
I'm Adrian and I'm a little over 6 weeks. I'm new to this and I don't know how everybody put the little countdown tickers in their replies. Very cute. Is anyone else having super not fun all day sickness? I'm a teacher and I seriously don't know how I'm going to finish out the year. It's rough.
Wishing you all the best!

I introduced on the PGAL board, but not here yet. I am 32, DH is 34. We conceived our first child on our honeymoon and he was born in 2014. We began trying for #2 again when DS turned 1, and did get pregnant right away, but lost that baby before the 5 week mark. We went on to have two more early losses. Blood work got started, but everything came up negative. A HSG was my next step, but we got pregnant again. I am currently 6w2d, however ovulated a little late, so I'm sure that date may change, but DS was early by a week, so who knows. I have my first ultrasound on 4/11. Hoping and praying that this is a sticky baby!
Our Journey:
DS born 05/14
Losses 06/15, 09/15, 02/16
I'm Sam. DH is 47 and I'm 39. Elderly primigravida- isn't that a flattering term for over 35 and finally getting pg for the 1st time-ha!
It only took 3 months of clomid, 5 IUIs, 2 IVFs, and 10 years of why am I not pg yet to get here. Due Nov 23rd. So in denial that it's real I couldn't bring myself to introduce earlier. Plus I'm bleeding for the last 2 weeks, but had an early US and seems to be ok (fingers and toes crossed!!)
Wishing everyone luck for a happy and safe pregnancy!

I am Girpipley, I've been on the board for a long long time, and am cautiously introducing myself again. I have a long sad story, but I'll keep it short.
I have a 5 yo DD, perfectly normal pregnancy. I lost twins at 20 weeks in 2015 after a 6 week long battle on hospital bedrest. It started with a placenta abruption and ending with an infection and we lost both babies, one born alive and one still. We then lost a singleton at 16 weeks about 9 months later, also from a placenta abruption.
I have been working with an amazing doctor who diagnosed me with thrombophilia and celiacs and am now on lovenox and a mess of other meds, and also pregnant!
Im 6w6d pregnant with another set of TWINS, who started out as quads, but it looks like we lost two today. We heard two perfect heartbeats today and I am choosing to look at this pregnancy with hope and positivity and nothing else. I'm taking these babies home.
I need to update my siggy, which I'll do later, so sorry for the out of date photos!
I can't wait to dive in and enjoy the next 8-9 months with you ladies!!

My boyfriend is 24 and we are very excited and nervous to welcome our baby into the world this november. I'm around 6-7 weeks and I go for an ultrasound this Thursday to see our growing baby!
I'm 23 years old and married to my highschool sweetheart. We'd been TTC for 4 months before success on valentine's day - go figure. Lol! DH is in the military and we will be moving across the country halfway through the pregnancy so I'm trying not for stress about that.
Pregnancy symptoms I have include fatigue and a whooooole lot of nausea that will hopefully be dialing down soon.

I'm Caitlin, this is my fourth pregnancy and we've got an almost two year old. We lost a baby at 22 weeks last summer to what they think was a placental abruption (no real cause found) and then miscarried in December. We're hopeful, but ya know. Growing babies isn't for the faint of heart.
It's offish. I'm family.
