thedrake · July 2016

Hello! New to the board! BFP 6/23 with EDD 3/3/17. My husband and I live outside of Baltimore, MD with our DD who is 5. Extremely nervous this go around and am looking for support of fellow moms. Congrats to everyone here!

aerie_star · July 2016

Hi,

I've been lurking a little bit out of nervousness. This is my first pregnancy and it was a bit of a surprise. My husband and I are pretty cautiously excited at this point. BFP was 7/18 and EDD is 3/23/17. My sister is a August 2016 mom and talks about her board all the time which is how I stumbled into here.

MyNamesTaken · August 2016

Hi! I'm Steph. We're due March 2 with #2. DS is two and keeps us busy! Looking forward to getting to know you!

SparklingJules23 · August 2016

Hi everyone!! I am a first time mommy due on St. Patrick's day! Hubby and I have been trying for a bit, I was sure we didn't do it at the right time to get pregnant in June, but surprise!! Baby is due in March.

I'm very excited, but also very scared. Labor and delivery TERRIFIES me and always has. Looking forward to getting to know fellow mommies!

cbhemi1218 · August 2016

I have been lurking for a few days but can finally post!! Woohoo!!
I am expecting baby number 3. EDD is 3/7/17. No Dr appointments until 8/12 which sucks but is getting closer.
My husband and I were high school sweethearts and ended up having our first child just out of high school. Another child 4 years later and then this big gap of 9 years.
I am nervous about the age difference since my sister and I are 8 years apart and don't have much of a relationship.
I am definitely feeling the morning sickness this go around and sore tatas. All I want to do is sleep!!
Congrats to you all!!!

peasoup13 · August 2016

Hello! I feel like I'm late to the show. Haha. EDD of 3/28 here. My son will be 2 in September and I was a part of the S14 group. We live in Washington state.

peasoup13 · August 2016

Oh, and clearly my pic is from my first pregnancy

kevinsgrl · August 2016

Hi all. I am 34 and found out July 24th that DH and I are expecting #5 EDD 3.30.17
I have had two pg's that were due in March and I think its the best month to have a babe for many reasons (not too big for holidays, aren't ku through the hot months, new LO is born at the end of flu season, etc.) A little shocked but excited for another LO and anticipating the excitement to see what we are having. (A boy would be great even though we would love a girl too, and of course really just pray the LO is healthy).

DS (9) DD (6) DD (4) DD (19 months)

I was also a gestational carrier for a dear friend in between DD #3 and DD #4.

I love being pregnant but am shocked that we easily and surprisingly got pg (had IUD removed to do health issues and were using condoms) as the first 3 took nine plus months and for DD #2 clomid for us to conceive.

Can't wait to get to know you all!

Sassafrass · August 2016

Hello New Bump Friends!
I got my BFP on June 30th and my BF and I couldn't be happier! We have been together for 4 years.
We are going the non-traditional route and have decided to do baby before marriage. We are both 35 and my biological clock was ticking! This will be our first baby.

My EDD is March 4th, 2017. I've been feeling great (fingers crossed). Still running 4 miles every morning, but can't get enough support for my bosom!

Excited to be here and to chat with you all about our experiences. Congratulations ladies!!

mrsknob · August 2016

Hello, friends! I got my BFP on July 25th and my DH and I are quite excited about expecting for the first time. My EDD is in the last days of March 2017(27-30). Looking forward to a more accurate due date after my OB/GYN appointment.

My hubby and I have been friends since 2008, a couple since August 2013, married since December 2014. I'm a pharmacy student (next year is my last...), and he is an engineer-become-beekeeper.

So far, I can't complain as my symptoms have been mild. I've had cramping for some weeks now. I hoped nausea was not going to happen. However, I've had a bit of morning sickness over the last few days and I feel my stomach as being rather vulnerable to sudden motions. Can't wait for the ultrasound a week from today!

Also, thank you for all the things that you've shared. This forum is my new favourite place online!

mecoats · August 2016

Hello! first time mom here from PA. I'm 31, and my DH is 33. We had been TTC for about a year and a half. We went to a fertility specialist, expecting to go back when I got my period. My period never came! I saw my first BFP test when we were on vacation July 14th. I took 4 others after the 1st positive. I went to my dr who told me to get an U/S and the U/S confirmed an EDD of March 15, 2017! We are thrilled!

My husband and I have been together since March 13, 2010 (so baby could be welcomed on our dating anniversary!), and have been married since April 19, 2014.

Only symptoms so far have been fatigue, and sore breasts. Otherwise doing pretty well!

Wishilivedinflorida · August 2016

Hello. I'm not new to TB but new here. I'm 30, DH is 30, and we are expecting our first rainbow baby after two early losses in 2015 and earlier this spring. My EDD is 3/19. Today, I had a great 7w2d US, which has never happened before! I'm hoping to connect with more PGAL moms especially and participating more here.

Edited because of wording

Valorie&Baby · August 2016

Hello Everyone,

I've been anxiously waiting to join the club and today was my first appointment so it's official. I am 24 and my partner is 33. We met while working together. He's amazing although he never pictured our life together with a kid, a baby is coming. I tested positive on July 8, 3 days after my birthday. What an unexpected pleasant surprise. I am 8 weeks and baby is due March 15, 2017. Whew Hoo looking forward to a long journey with everyone. Btw...this is our first baby!

eunyw22 · August 2016

Hi ladies! Moving here from Feb! I had my first ultrasound today and I ended up only measuring at 8 weeks and 3 days so that pushed my due date to 3/13/17. This will be my second pregnancy. I have a 12 month old baby boy and am very excited for him to have a sibling!

sbride68 · August 2016

Hello! 2nd time mom here! Currently 8 weeks with our little B2 aka jelly bean. We have one little girl. She is 14 months now and is super excited to meet her new brother or sister

we are due March 8th and will schedule a csection due to my last birth being long and strenuous. It was 54 1/2 hours followed by a csection and being in the OR for 3 hours due to them thinking they cut my bladder since my daughter was so far down when we finally went to have the csection.

expectingnumber2-2 · August 2016

Hi ladies! According to my LMP my EDD is March 18th. I go for my first US on August 8th! Super excited

My DH and I already have a 3.5 DS.

msimpy11 · August 2016

Hi ladies! My name is Megan (almost 28) and I live in Northern Virginia with my handsome husband (28), our spunky beagle and tabby cat.

We found out 2 weeks ago that I was pregnant with our very first child! I am 6 weeks, 3 days and my EDD is 3/26/17.

My first appointment is Tuesday, 8/9 and we are counting down the minutes! I am super excited but at the same time so so nervous about the next few months and making sure we can see a little heart beat on Tuesday.

Looking forward to embarking on this beautiful and strange journey with you all

thisisallyson · August 2016

Hello ladies! I'm so excited to finally be able to post here. I had the first doctor appointment today and we got to see our little bean and the heartbeat. Heart rate was a little on the lower side (mid-90's) so I have another ultrasound in two weeks to follow up. So far, it is measuring at 6 weeks 1 day and the EDD is 3/28/17! This is my second pregnancy, my first was an ectopic that ended last November. I cannot tell you what a relief it was to see our LO and the heartbeat. Things are starting to get real!

allysondunn2 · August 2016

Hi everyone! I not new to TB, but I am new here. I'm 27 and my DH is almost 30. I am 7wk6d with our hopefully rainbow baby. *TW* This is my second pregnancy. I had a CP/ early miscarriage June 1st. I am looking forward to sharing this amazing journey with you all!

dubcompanion · August 2016

@allysondunn2 Yay! So great having another TTCAL grad here!

LindseyLooMagoo · August 2016

Hey everyone! I am returning to the bump after a 4 year absence! I am 6 weeks preggers with baby #2! Which took 19 months to happen (naturally). My hubby and I are 31 and have a 3.5 year old! I used the bump all the time when I was pregnant the first time and it was so helpful! Glad to be back!!

Jilliants · August 2016

Hi ladies! I'm Jillian, got my BFP July 12th, right before a big trip to Cali, no Napa Valley wine tours for us, lol. My EDD is March 21st, which is pretty awesome because my birthday is the 23rd! I got off the pill in May and we started trying after my first cycle, and SURPRISE, here I am! We had our first ultrasound yesterday, which also happened to be our first wedding anniversary, and got the best present ever, a nice strong heartbeat! Just told hubby's parents and siblings last night and can't wait to share the news with my family on Friday!

potato3000 · August 2016

Hi ladies! My BFP (from about 5 weeks ago now) was finally confirmed via U/S last week. My due date is March 9th and this is our 2nd pregnancy, our DS just turned 2.

pff420 · August 2016

Hello! I decided to come back to TB for my second pregnancy. I'm 27 (so is my DH), my LO is almost 18 months. I'm basing my edd off of ovulation and implantation bleeding since I had long irregular cycles (due to breastfeeding my first child).

EDD: March 22!

CBS7 · August 2016

Hi everyone! I'm 32 and DH is 41. Got our BFP on July 8th. EDD is March 17th (hoping St. Patrick's day is good luck!). This is our first pregnancy and we are very excited!

wponc01 · August 2016

Hi- new to pretty much everything here, FTM and message boards in general!

First baby due March 12th. Been with my hubs for 10 years, married for a little over a year. Hoping being a part of this community helps with anxiety and curiosities!

nursedockter · August 2016

*********TW********
oh I'm so so happy to finally post on here! I was waiting till we had our first appointment which was yesterday! We had an early loss in April and I was beginning to think we couldn't get a sticky one again. We have twin girls who are coming up on 2 1/2 and are now almost 10 weeks with a singleton! EDD is 3/2.

lp81502 · August 2016

Hi all! Second time mommy here, EDD 3/28. We have a 4 year old little girl who is also a March baby so its very exciting! Happy to be part of this BMB with you all

jenny0228 · August 2016

Hi there! I'm 39, and I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I have no children currently. My DH and I have been TTC since 2014. This is my third pregnancy, the first two ended in miscarriage due to chromosome abnormalities. After recovering following the losses, I felt like time was not on my side, so I consulted with a RE and began IVF treatment, which would include egg retrieval, PGS (genetic testing due to the chromosome abnormalities being a factor in my prior losses) and frozen embryo transfer. My first IVF cycle, which began on Christmas Eve last year, resulted in a low number of eggs, and after fertilization, no healthy embryos. My second cycle, which began this past March, resulted in two healthy embryos and I had my FET on July 11th! I am on estrogen and progesterone to offer a little help during my first trimester. I'm feeling very positive overall!!

MollyCStacy · August 2016

Hello Ladies! I just found out July 27th that I am expecting my first child. Husband and I were not actively trying to conceive so definitely a big surprise. I am 36 years old and husband is 35. We have been together 2 1/2 years and married one year. I'm thinking this baby is our anniversary gift. I'm just looking to make new connections and have questions answered. I have not been able to see a doctor yet as our health insurance just kicked in Monday. I found out I was pregnant after enrolling in a research study where they collected a urine sample. The research assistant gave me the good news. And after taking 4 more pregnancy tests, it is a positive. Not totally sure how far along I am but guessing 6 weeks. We shall see.

Major symptoms so far have been nausea, frequent urination, insomnia, exhaustion, and insatiable hunger. What a journey. Hope to make friends with you soon. And if any of you live in the Riverside, CA area, let me know. Would love to meet up in person.

MsDemi6 · August 2016

Hi everyone! Another newbie here! I am completely new to the boards, as the other boards I belong to aren't really active. I am 37 and almost 10w with baby number 4, Due 3/6! DH (40) and I have been together for 6 yrs and married almost 3, I have a 12 yr old and 7yr old (mine) and a 5 year old (ours)!

***TW*** I am considered high risk due to losing our last baby boy at 18wks due to preterm labor I will be seeing the high risk OB in addition to my regular OB starting in about a week and a half. I had an early SCH but things are going great now! I didn't know that I was pregnant initially, I thought it was my period, which lasted way longer than normal! Made a GYN appt but I was having pregnancy symptoms (sore breasts, nausea and bad reflux) so I decided to take a test! My cycles were off, very light and lasted only 3 days since my loss and due to having to have 2 procedures back to back in order to clear out retained tissues I figured I was unable to conceive since we had been trying for 2 years after the loss. Looks as if I was totally wrong and I am very excited to be here!!

HoneyBee517 · August 2016

Hello March mamas! I was active in my old board July 2014 and just found out we're having #2 due 3/28/17. I'm nervous and excited at the same time since DD will be almost 3 y/o by then and I'll be 39 as well. We're not telling anyone until 12 weeks, so it's killing me to keep it a secret.

Knottie1433173025 · August 2016

Introducing myself. I am due March 22 and will have my first appointment on tuesday. I have 2 school aged kids, so this is baby 3.

I will probably do more lurking than posting because this board moves so fast! Just wanted to say hi!

^^^ This is me, lol. I accidentally signed in with my theknot account (which didn't have my normal nickname) so I signed out and signed back in with this one.

Anyway, Hi!!

luckycharm213 · August 2016

Hi all - I haven't been able to post so I've been lurking for what seems like forever! I am due with my second 3/27. I was part of the November 2013 group until many of us moved to a FB group. My first appointment is next Wednesday but my OBGYN doesn't do ultra sounds and heartbeats until closer to 10 weeks...which might as well be next year!

melidiaz · August 2016

Hi everyone

I'm super excited to join the March 2017 Mommies! Im 25 and DH is 30.
I wanted to wait a bit before introducing myself since I wanted to make sure everything looked good with the baby!
TW: we had a MC last year. So this time around I wanted to be more private about baby

this Thursday we got to see and hear our baby's heartbeat at 183bpm!!! Our baby measured at 9w6d on Thursday! We are so in love and extremely happy! I'm blessed to be joining this beautiful journey! - Melissa

pandalily · August 2016

Hi everyone! FTM here. I just turned 28 yesterday, DH will be 30 in a couple months. We will have been married 2 years in October. I found out I was pregnant a couple days after Memorial Day when I missed my period after my first month off the pill. I was going to wait a little longer to test because my cycle was always pretty irregular before I started the pill and I thought it would take my body a little longer to reset but my boobs were already sore so I decided to go ahead and POAS. We have a little yorkie who is almost 2 years old that is the love of our lives but we are a little worried how he is going to do when he is no longer the center of attention next March! I had my first doctor's appointment last week and I should be 9 weeks with an EDD of 3/6/17 based on my LMP but the NP decided to push the EDD to 3/12 based on the size of little bean on the ultrasound. So we'll split the difference and say 3/8 I guess

Looking forward to continue on this journey with you ladies!

MahiMama · August 2016

Hey March Mamas!

I'm a newbie here, so please forgive me if it takes awhile to catch up on the lingo. Been lurking for the past couple weeks, and I really like the vibe here.

I just turned 32 and DH is 35. Our DS will be two in October. I work full-time (for now) as a hospice social worker, and I love my job. Honestly, though, I am NOT a fan of being pregnant! I was miserable for almost all of my pregnancy with DS and am hoping this time around isn't so bad. I LOVED giving birth so I am looking forward to that part. And of course to having a new squish afterward!

EDD is 3/3.

TW
I had a miscarriage in February at almost 12 weeks, so I'm pretty nervous this time. But I'm MUCH more miserable with this pregnancy than I was then, so I'm trying to stay optimistic!

So nice to 'meet' you all!

*Edited to add that I changed my username and shall henceforth be known as MahiMama*

carpediem55 · August 2016

Hi everyone! I'm new here, the site is finally letting me post. My name is Michelle, 30, live in California and work as a business analyst at Cal. I am due on March 31st. This is my first pregnancy and I couldn't be more excited! I have an 11 year old step son and he's also very excited to have a baby brother or sister (although he's hoping for a brother).
