I feel your optimism girl! My husband and I have been trying for over 2 years and I'm due Jan 5th. Praying we hear a little heartbeat and make it past that 14 week mark. Best wishes to you!!!
What's your due date? January 11 - How long were you trying (if you were)? 4 months
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children? I have a 9 yr old girl and a 4 yr old boy. This will be mine and my husbands first, though. - Tell us a little about yourself! So excited! I'm 29, live in Alabama, and am a hairstylist and beginning homesteader. We have a fantastic garden growing this season and baby chicks. Thrilled to be having another little one to our family!
- What's your due date? Based on online calculators, Jan 9, 2017. Might change after seeing a doctor
- How long were you trying (if you were)? Stopped trying to avoid pregnancy almost exactly a year ago. Had a large fibroid removed 30 Jan 2016 which during surgery we found out was completely squashing my uterus and constricting my fallopian tubes and therefore, according to the doc, preventing conception. We got this BFP the first month we were able to try to conceive after surgery.
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children? This will (hopefully) be my first child.
- Tell us a little about yourself! DH and I are both 40. This makes me/us very hesitant to be excited this early on.
We live in Africa (due to my husband's work) and have a great ob/gyn here for during the pregnancy but I'm slightly conflicted/confused about finding a place to give birth if we are lucky enough to get that far. DH is French, I'm American. We have excellent health insurance that covers 100% of everything everywhere in the world....except the US where absolutely nothing is covered. With most airlines not allowing women past 7 months pregnant to fly, I just can't imagine spending the last two months of pregnancy in France where I only know my husband's father (all other relatives live overseas). Of course, DH will be there for the birth. But during the last two months I guess I will be bonding with my father-in-law. I guess it's good for baby if everyone gets along well with in-laws
Just got my +HPTs (digi included) today! Best Mother's Day present ever!!
- What's your due date? 1/14/17, but I anticipate popping right at 38wks like the last 2. - How long were you trying (if you were)? This is a maybe rainbow baby, 4 months post-Paraguard. I had quit all my supplements this cycle except a prenatal gummy... looks like it worked! - Is this your first child/do you have any other children? Fourth! DS1 is almost 15, DS2 is 11, and DD is 6! - Tell us a little about yourself! I'm 35, I've been married for 12.5 years, been a SAHM since 2009, I live in NW Denver, and we're a military family (yes, I served as well).
We hope for a natural birth and comprismised to have the assistance of a Doula if we must delivery in the hospital at Kaiser.
Any other mama's delivering in Kaiser? Hoping for a natural delivery?
Welcome to CA! I hope you're enjoying it so far. I delivered my DD at Kaiser up in NorCal and had a good experience. While I did go the epidural route, they are pretty respectful of your choices and they will have you fill out a birth plan form when we get closer to our due dates (one to keep and one for them on file). If I remember correctly, they offer different classes on types of birth so you can get a better idea of what to expect.
What's your due date? January 17, 2017 - according to Fertility Friend, at least. How long were you trying (if you were)? We tried two days in a row, I ovulated on the third day after we started trying, and I got an unmistakable BFP 8 dpo. So, uh, not long. I was honestly not anticipating having it all happen so quickly. Is this your first child/do you have any other children? This will be the first! Tell us a little about yourself! I teach junior high school social studies and writing. I play (most days it's more like played, though I do take it out occasionally) the trumpet - so does DH, and we actually met through college marching band. I was looking forward to riding lots of roller coasters, going ziplining, and traveling somewhere international this summer, but due to, uh, circumstances I'm now looking forward to riding my bike as much as I can, going kayaking, and doing some traveling within the country this summer instead.

I haven’t had my first appointment yet, but according to the internet it’s January 8th.
- How long were you trying (if you were)?
We were “not preventing” for a little over two years. I finally got impatient & used a few Dollar Tree ovulation predictors last month. Apparently they work!

We have a 3.5 year old son (born October 2012). He’s been asking for a baby for about a year, so he’s going to be beyond thrilled.

- What's your due date? 1/5/2017 but I haven't had my 1st ob/gyn appointment yet so it could change
- How long were you trying (if you were)? The hubs and I weren't trying but we weren't preventing either.

Everything has been and will be new to us but we are excited for the journey!
- What's your due date? I am due on Jan 10th which is actually my first child's birthday
- How long were you trying (if you were)? We stopped preventing in January.. so 4 months.

- How long were you trying (if you were)? We weren't.
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children? This will be our first child.
- Tell us a little about yourself! I just turned 37 so I'm guessing I'm one of the old farts here. I have no idea what I'm doing since this wasn't really part of our life plan. I also miss wine already.

- What's your due date? 1/22 ish?! - How long were you trying (if you were)? Ugh...
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children? DD1 will be 5 in July, DD2 is a Jan 16 baby - Tell us a little about yourself! I've been on TB since I got pregnant with DD1 and I am still a part of my BMB FB groups that originated here on TB. This is pregnancy #5, 2 in Heaven, 2 on Earth. We dealt with 4 years of secondary infertility after DD1 was born, and were eventually told another baby would not be possible without intervention (IVF) but 3 IVFs failed us. I ended up getting pregnant with DD2 after we had officially threw in the towel, and resolved to being a family of 3. We were most certainly NOT trying to have another baby... I JUST had a baby. Ooops. I'm a one tube wonder.
Good luck, ladies. I hope everyone has an uneventful pregnancy.

We have been trying for two year and have had some bumps along the way. I am happy to be here and hope I get to stay.
This will be my second and DH first.
- What's your due date?
January 8 according to LMP but I think I ovulated late so that's tentative until my first appt, in 5 weeks (dyingggg of impatience)
- How long were you trying (if you were)?
NTNP for 6 months, actively trying for 3
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
Second! We have a DD that is 10 months old!

I was never active on my BMB last pregnancy and regretted that! Hoping to be more active this time!
January 7 according to LMP

NTNP for the last 2 months
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
Our Second - my DD is 13 months. I'm a little nervous for 2 under 2!
- Tell us a little about yourself!
I'm almost 27 years old and a formulation chemist. My boyfriend stays at home with our LO currently and runs a contracting business during the day and works at the airport during the evening. My last pregnancy was a little hectic due to multiple high risk factors (unplanned, lupus, elevated liver enzymes, antiphospholipid syndrome, baby has a critical CHD (Congenital heart defect), preterm delivery...) so I'm hoping this one goes a little more smoothly!
1/5/2017 but I haven't had my 1st ob/gyn appointment yet so it could change
- How long were you trying (if you were)?
The hubs and I weren't trying but we weren't preventing either. Being in our early 30's, we didn't want to wait too long to start having a family but we didn't want to stress about it either. We stopped birth control in October of 2015 and found out we were pregnant a few weeks ago.
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
This will be our first, minus our 4-legged child
- Tell us a little about yourself!
32 years. Reside in SC. I work for a small local IT company. My husband is a recruiter/sales in the trades industry. We enjoy being outdoors doing dirt bike riding (that has subsided now) and also trail running. It's been a little hard to continue to be active as I've been dealing with the 1st trimester symptoms, mainly exhaustion, but determined to keep going as I want to be sure to remain as healthy as possible. Everything has been and will be new to us but we are excited for the journey!
I am due on Jan 10th which is actually my first child's birthday
- How long were you trying (if you were)?
We stopped preventing in January.. so 4 months.
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
This will be our second, we have one daughter and we had to do IVF to get her so this pregnancy was a shock.
- Tell us a little about yourself!
I'm 35 yrs old, from Ontario Canada, I am an Order Desk clerk at a Paper goods supply company. I've been married since May 2009.
1/6/2017
- How long were you trying (if you were)?
We weren't.
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
This will be our first child.
- Tell us a little about yourself!
I just turned 37 so I'm guessing I'm one of the old farts here. I have no idea what I'm doing since this wasn't really part of our life plan. I also miss wine already.
We weren't trying.
We have one kiddo - a boy (Isaac!) - who will be 1 next week! They will be 20 months apart. Eeek!
I am 25. Currently a teacher - but that won't last after the second one arrives. Currently in AZ. Super excited to join this community!

Tell us a little about yourself!
I am 32 and live in PA. I work in a high school and am musically inclined I was a part of the July '13 BMB but hope to be more active this time around. After my MC in February, I'm feeling like I could use the community connection this board offers!
BFP 2/3/16 --> MC 2/13/16
Honestly not really sure! Based on when I think my LMP was, January 14/15
- How long were you trying (if you were)?
We were not! I have two children already and this is a completely unplanned pregnancy. Taking a little getting used to the idea
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
I have two daughters- Claire will be 7 in June and Nora was 4 in March
- Tell us a little about yourself!
I'm Kathy- I am a teacher and live in Atlanta GA metro area. We love traveling, wine, and outdoor activities. I have been on the bump with both my other daughters, happy to see this place is still around (although this looks completely different)!
- How long were you trying (if you were)? Ugh...
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children? DD1 will be 5 in July, DD2 is a Jan 16 baby
- Tell us a little about yourself! I've been on TB since I got pregnant with DD1 and I am still a part of my BMB FB groups that originated here on TB. This is pregnancy #5, 2 in Heaven, 2 on Earth. We dealt with 4 years of secondary infertility after DD1 was born, and were eventually told another baby would not be possible without intervention (IVF) but 3 IVFs failed us. I ended up getting pregnant with DD2 after we had officially threw in the towel, and resolved to being a family of 3. We were most certainly NOT trying to have another baby... I JUST had a baby. Ooops. I'm a one tube wonder.
Good luck, ladies. I hope everyone has an uneventful pregnancy.

I'm very happy to finally have a tiny human of my own to knit for; so many of my friends have been having babies the past few years, and I've been knitting up cute little boots and sweaters, and now I'll finally get to keep some of them for myself! I do a lot of yoga (when I'm not on my ass with pregnancy exhaustion) and read and write poetry in my spare time.

- Tell us a little about yourself!
I'm 26 years old from NJ and got married to my husband almost 1 year ago. We had a MC very shortly after our wedding and found out I had a pretty large uterine septum. It was removed last summer, and after trying another 6 months, went for further testing and had my HSG which I think cleared the "cobwebs" and we got preggers the same month! I'm crazy nervous, as we all can be. But trying get to stay positive!
Jan 8
- How long were you trying (if you were)?
We technically were not, but we are super super excited.

I have a 2yo DD who is spunky and strong willed and absolutely amazing. A cat named Cooper, a jack russel named Fenway, and a fish that DD named Poopie.
- Tell us a little about yourself!
I'm 27 and my DH is 43. We've been married going on 3 years, together going on 8. I always trolled on my last BMB and am kinda excited I get to be involved with this one from the beginning. I work full time at a hospital as the supervisor of a service department, and that can be kinda stressful. I am really hoping that I can stay active and eat well this pregnancy, because it took me forever to lose the baby weight last time and feel comfortable.
YAY Jan 2017!
