Hi all! Excited to be in a birth month club FINALLY. DH and I started to try last August, but due to thyroid issues and trying to find the right dosage of meds, we weren't able to try again until this past month - to great success! BFP 11 DPO (I have a predictably short LP). Really nervous and hoping for a sticky baby. EDD 12/27!
Hi ladies, Looks like I belong here! I just found out this past Wednesday when my pcp was doing some blood work and call me at 8 am the next morning and was like surprise your pregnant. My DH and I had been trying for baby #2 since right before Christmas 2015. We are so excited but did not expect it to happen as soon as it did. My DH has a daughter from another relationship and together we have a daughter who is 6, so it has been a little while since we had a little baby in the house. I just turned 26 last month and DH will be 30 when the baby arrives. We are patiently waiting for my first appointment and ultrasound on May 9th to make sure everything is going well and on track! Based on my lmp I am due December 21st and I am 5 +6 weeks!
Hello everyone! My name is Jen. My husband and I got our BFP this past Sunday, and on Friday my primary care doc confirmed that I am 6-8 weeks pregnant (based on blood work). I have Type 1 Diabetes, so I am considered "high risk." I'm currently looking for a good OB who has experience with high risk pregnancies. This will be our FIRST child (we are both 29-years-old), and we are very anxious but excited!
I have Type 1 too!!! Pregnancy buddies!!! PM me with any questions!

Me: 39 DH: 36 Married: Sept 2018 DS: December 2016 #2 EDD Feb 2020
Hello mommies! I am married, 29, turning 30 in August. 2 years of infertility and 2 different specialists. after Femara, IUI and trigger shot, I'm currently 8 weeks 4 days pregnant with baby number 1. THRILLED to finally be here!
Hello! I'm 35 and pregnant with my third LO. I have a 5 year-old girl and a 9-month-old boy. We experienced 2 years of unexplained, secondary infertility TTC our second, so this is a total shock, but a welcome surprise! I only had one postpartum cycle and then became pregnant. I just took a test a week ago and am 6w5d along now, due 12/14. This date will make my two youngest 17 months apart to the day. First appointment is a week from today, 5/2!
@Steph1673, my girls were born 17 months apart to the day! (10/25 and 3/25). I love the age gap!
Glad to hear that! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, hypothyroidism and hashimotos six months postpartum this last pregnancy, so I'm very fatigued and praying that I'll be able to keep up with both little ones :-)
Hi there! I'm 28 and DH is 41. We were married for 7 years and all those years we never used protection so I can kinda say we ttc for 7 years. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and PCOS and my husband with oligozoospermia. So we had our first try with IVF which failed in 2015 and our second Ivf cycle this year when we got our first BFP on the 6th of April. Today I'm 6w4d. It's going to be our first pregnancy and I'm scared excited and cautious. I'm going for viability scan next Tuesday to see the heartbeat and I'm beyond excitement. Our due date will be 17th of December 2016. Wish you all happy and healthy pregnancy.
Hi lovely ladies, I am 5 w 4 d preg with my first pregnancy. We have been trying for last 2 years and this month we got positive. I have had ovarian endo case and that might have the cause of delay. Being my first preg ,i am scared with every new changes. First the hcg counts. It was 458 on 21 apr,586 on 23 apr and 864 on 26 apr. I have heard of hcg doubling and it has not in my case. I had my first scan on 26 and doc could see veryyyy tiny thing in uterus. She said its too early to be able to see anything. I wonder if this is normal. 26 apr after US i also got dark brown spotting and that freaked me hell. I am just praying things to be normal. Please advice me if you have similar experience.
HI Ladies! I'm just barely making it into the Dec 2016 mommies... Finished IVF with my FET transfer on April 12. EDD is Dec 28th so I'm excited about my Christmas present. Husband & I have been married for just about 3 years, TTC since Oct 2013 so it's been a long road. Our first pregnancy and it's still so early so while we are so excited, we are cautious as well. Looking forward to the next several months with you ladies

Hi Everyone! I am 30 (31 in May) and my husband is 29. This is our 2nd pregnancy. We had a MMC last July, so I am very excited and nervous this time around. I got my BFP on March 29th but couldn't tell my husband until March 31st because he was out of town for work and I didn't want to tell him over the phone. He is usually out of town Monday-Friday so it has been a little tough going through the day to day stuff alone. But reading through these forums has really helped! It makes me realized that I am not crazy and what I'm feeling is totally normal! So thank you!!
Hi Everyone, I'm 28 and my husband is 31, and this will be our first child. I've wanted to be a mom since I was 3, so I am very excited! I'm also nervous because both of our families live across the country, so we won't have any built in support. I'm a children's librarian for our local public library system which entails working slightly weird hours/days. I absolutely love my job, but it will definitely make finding reliable child care a challenge since my husband works odd hours too. EDD is 12/11. Nice to meet you all!
Hi Ladies!! I got my BFP last week and have an EDD of December 29th. Since I am towards the end of the month I wasn't sure if this board or the January board would be more appropriate, but I wanted to introduce myself. This will be our first child and my husband and are very excited. Our first OB appt is on the 11th, which we are anxiously awaiting. I look forward to being on this journey with all of you!
My name is Diana, I am married and have a two year old girl (J14 board!) - we live in Colorado. I just turned 32 years old. I stay home with my girl but I also run a small business (children's hair accessories) that keeps me busy!
I I had a mc in August, and found out a bit ago that I'm pregnant again, due Dec 26th. I am really excited, but this whole PGAL brain is no fun.
I'm 29 and Dh is 37. This will be our second baby. We have a beautiful 10 month old baby boy born June of 2015. I am excited, though a bit on the cautious side. I had a MMC in November 2015 at 7.5 weeks. We have been TTC since the return of my cycle after the surgery with no luck due to irregular cycles. We decided to put off trying until after my 30th in June, then to seek medical help if things still weren't back to normal. When I didn't get my cycle this month I just assumed I was going to skip a cycle or spot through it like previous months, but still took a test anyways. I was bracing myself for the letdown (even through we weren't trying this month) and was in complete shock to see the positive result! We are so hoping for a sticky baby! Due 12/29/16.
Hi everyone! I'm 26 and my husband is 29. This is our first child, EDD 12/03/16. We are thrilled, scared, overwhelmed, and all the other emotions you can feel! It is also our family's first grandchild and first great-grandchild, so I suspect that this child's first Christmas will be EPIC ;-) When I'm not preparing for the arrival of our firstborn, I love reading, writing, walking in the woods, and working on our hobby farm. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Hi everybody! I'm 28 and DH is 34. This is our first time! TTC since Oct 2015, now our EDD 19 Dec! Soooooooo nauseous... Looking forward to this adventure
Hi all!
I'm 30 and expecting this LO on December 21. We also have a little girl who just turned two. My hubby and I were shocked (and super excited once the shock wrote off) to get the BFP on April 20 considering I've had a Mirena in for almost two years now.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
I don't think I've introduced myself yet, though I've commented on a few posts.
I'm 20 and working on finishing school, fiancé is 23 and works close to 60 hour weeks in a food processing plant. We had a previous loss in October 2016; that EDD was June 4, 2016. Our EDD this go 'round is December 8, 2016 and we couldn't be happier. We're exactly 8 weeks along today and have to wait til May 20 for our first ultrasound, which is no fun. We're just hoping for a sticky baby and that both sets of our parents/grandparents take it well when we do decide to break the news.

My daughter's first Christmas was a little out of control for the same reason!! Congrats girl!
Hi Dec Moms! Agh! I don't even know how to begin this. This is a new and exciting journey for my husband and I as this will be our first. It's nice to have a community where others are experiencing the same thing we can lean on each other for support. Our due date is currently Dec 4th which is my brothers birthday so it will be pretty awesome if our little one comes as expected.
Again I'm excited to walk this journey with all of you
-TW Loss- Hello everyone and congrats! After lurking on here for a while Im finally ready to participate! My current due date is 12/1 but I think its more like 12/14 so we will see today hopefully. My husband and I have been trying to conceive since June of last year when I had a missed miscarriage when I was 8 weeks so needless to say Im excited and a nervous wreck all at once. I tried to stop focusing on it so much and tried to go with flow and got my BFP and conceived the same cycle as I did with my miscarriage it kinda makes me feel more optimistic that this is a sticky little bean. Anyways congrats to all again and I look forward to getting to know you all these next few months!
Hi everyone! Recently found out we are expecting our third. I have been a big lurker in the past, but hope to be more involved this time around. My husband and I are 36 and a have a 3 year old boy and 2 year old girl. They keep us super busy and I am pretty nervous to add another baby to the chaos. Right now we are just taking it one day at a time.
Hi All! I am 33, husband is 37 and this is our first! We had been TTC for 3 year, so we are beyond excited. Due date around 12/8, just started week 8. This little trouble maker makes me hungry constantly, the husband jokes that the baby is going to be just like him. LOL
Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!
@galore5, twinsies! My husband and I both turn 36 this summer and we have a 3 and a 2 year old too! Glad to have someone here to talk to about the ensuing chaos of adding a third so quickly

Quick question, has anyone started a December Facebook group yet?
I'm excited to be here and congratulations to everyone!
