    Hi Everyone - My name is Danielle. I live in Massachusetts.

    I'm 37 and pregnant with my 3rd. I have a DS that is 18, my BF has a DS that is 14, together we have a DS that is 13 months.

    I got my BFP on 10/20 EDD 6/30/17 so 4 weeks 3 days today - had blood work on 10/21 to confirm - got results of that blood work today with an HCG count of 29 so I went in for another blood draw today and waiting to hear the HCG count.

    Planning on telling the BF tonight. It was too hectic this weekend with the older kids around and family parties. Plus I wanted to confirm with blood work first.

    Hello! Glad to see someone else with and older child. My dd is 16. I haven't figured out how to break the news yet. Welcome!

  • Hi AlL, Here is how I found out I am pregnant. I had blood work before a surgery I need and the next morning I get a call from the Dr himself. I thought that was odd because it would normally be the nurse to schedule a time with the hospital. The Dr just says "Congratulations". So I ask "for what?" He goes on to tell me I'm pregnant!!! Because of some health issues we were not TTC so it was a huge surprise. Anyway, I was late but only by about 1-3 days at that point. So I did what any totally normal person would do, I bought a HPT. It was negative. I took it first thing the next morning and everything. They say blood work out rules everything else so I am going with that. I started having symptoms already too. With my son the HPT was + the day before my missed period but I didn't have any symptoms until I was 9 weeks. I see my OBGYN on Nov 7 for ultrasound. It seems like a million years away rather than less than 2 weeks. My EDD is 27 June. :)
  • Hi Dani, Anyone else have first appointment on 7Nov?

    Hey everyone!

    You can call me Dani. I'm 27 and DH is 26. We've been married over 5 years (5/14/2011) and we have two kitties: Obi & Codi.
    This is our first pregnancy! EDD is 6/23/2017 so I'm 5 weeks 3 days - I found out at 9DPO so I've had a couple weeks to get used to the idea. My first appointment is 11/7/2016 - 2 weeks!!
    Congrats to everyone on here and I'm looking forward to chatting with you all!  :)

  • @BabyBuckWay Congrats! I recognize your username from either IF or T-TTC (can't remember which board) but it's good to see you here! Since you used a trigger shot with your IUI, you will get the best estimate of your due date by using your ovulation date (same as IUI date) to calculate it. There are a lot of due date calculators you can find on the web!

    Hi everyone!
    I'm new to the bump but very excited to join discussions. Got our BFP on 9th Oct and estimate DD June 15th which puts me at 6w5d. My husband (32) and I(32) have been trying for 2 month for our 1st baby and we are very surprised/excited by our news. We live in England and have to wait until  9th for our first appointment. 

    Anyone else as nervous as me?
  • Hi all!  My name is Traci, and I'm 29.  I've been snooping around here for a couple of weeks, but now that I've heard a heart beat and saw my little nugget on an u/s today, I'm ready to play. :) I have an EDD of June 13, and my husband and I are over the moon.  We just moved back to the USA a few months ago from a 2-year assignment in west Africa, so life is changing pretty quickly!
  • HI All! My name is Becky and I am currently 5w1d pregnant with our second child. We are beyond excited about expanding our family. Our son is 2 and will be just 1 month before his 3rd birthday when the new baby is due.

    Mine is the 7th also. I hate waiting. I am actually glad I was considered high risk with my son and again with this pregnancy because I get to have ultrasounds done every couple of weeks. I have a heart condition that doesn't really effect me and is not harmful to the baby at all they just watch really closely just in case. It is just the waiting the first time that drives me crazy! Until I hear the tiny heart beat then everything is fine. :)

    <3 Same boat but mine will be 4 years old. It is so exciting.
  • Has anyone thought about how to tell the new big brothers or sisters? I have a 3 year old son and I'm not sure how to make him really understand what is happening.

  • @candymachine  Do you ever watch Daniel Tiger?  The first few episodes of season 6 involve welcoming a new baby, and really helped put things in context for my son.

  • Hi All! Excited to join the group. I'm 33 and DH is 33. Been TTC for over 2 years and decided in June to explore IVF options.

  • Hi! Had to wait a few days to post. I'm 34, DH is 35 and we have 2 boys - 6 & 2. Baby no 3 is a HUGE surprise. Hub was about to have a vasectomy! But now over the initial shock and we are getting excited. I had HG in both previous pgs. Hospitalised for many weeks with no 1 with sickness causing contractions to start at 30 weeks and go on right to DS1's due date! My EDD is 19 June and my first mw appt isn't til 15 Nov. Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

    @xath Thanks. He doesn't watch much TV but I think he has seen it before. I will check on Netflix and see if I can find the episodes you are talking about. 
  • Hello ladies! I am currently 7w pregnant :blush:
    we have had 2 previous losses the 1st at 12w and the 2nd at 4w our tentative due date June 14.
    we are nervously excited and praying everyday for healthy baby!
  • Hi everyone, 
    My name is Maria and I'm pregnant with baby #1. Im 27 years old and my dh is 26. Im about 6 weeks along and my predicted due date is June 22, I got my first faint Bfp on October 10 (and then tested everyday to make sure it was getting darker).  I have my first appointment on Halloween.  Very nervous and excited.  Just hoping everything is going well. 
  • Hi All! I'm Stella.  I am 32 and currently 6w pregnant with my second!  I have a 2 year old son.  It's still super early and until I hear that heartbeat I'm going to be a nervous wreck!  I had a emergency c section last time around- so likely will be a repeat c section mid June.  Hoping and praying for a healthy baby and smooth pregnancy!  Excited to get to know everyone!  :)
  • Hi everyone!  I just found out that I'm pregnant, due around 6/28.  This is my 4th pregnancy - I have two boys (5 and 3) and had a miscarriage in May.  I'm feeling pretty terrified about the possibility of another loss, and I'm just trying hard not to let that fear consume me.  
  • Welcome to all the newbies!



  • never been a part of a board before. im mandy. 32 expecting baby 2 early june. my son is 13. we were all pretty shocked to get a BFP Sept 22. two babies, two bc fails! my boy is my whole world so I can't imagine how this one will be less amazing
  • Hi everyone! This is our first pregnancy...and still can't believe this is happening!! My husband and I have been married for 5 1/2 years and I went off BCP in June to start regulating my system back to its regular cycle with the thought of starting to "try" this winter. Welp, got my BFP on Oct. 12. We couldn't believe it when we saw the positive result come back on the stick, so I peed on 3 more sticks and they were all positive, too. Still wanted medical proof that it was for real, so I went to my OB/midwives for a blood test and that came back positive, too! Due date is June 13th. We're feeling incredibly blessed and are looking forward to this journey - although I'm a bit nervous, too!
  • Finally! The 72-hour waiting period is killer :p

    My name is Rachel I'm expecting number 4 on June 29th this baby was a complete surprise. 

    I'm from a small town in East Texas

    Kids, 1 boy and 2 girls: Collin 12, Cayden 8, Hazely 2

    Husband, Justin, and we've been together 13 years (high school sweethearts)

    Fun fact: we are actually just starting the divorce process  :o 
    I found out a month ago he was cheating on me with a girl he cheated on me with 6 years ago......I forgave him the 1st time and we stayed together, but thats not gonna happen 2X's.
    So, this pregnancy will not change my mind on leaving him. ps, he feels the same.

    I guess if anyone is interested in the drama of divorcing while pregnant, stay tuned......
    Whaaaaaaaaaaat???? What a prick! Good for you! The surprise baby was a blessing to help you keep your mind off the divorce :) welcome!  And congrats on the baby!!

    Hi everyone!!  This is our first pregnancy and I still can't believe it.  We weren't really trying but also had just started not really preventing, but this was a shock that it happened so quickly.  I'm due June 13 and have my first OB appointment in mid November, which I am so anxious for!  My husband and I have been married for 6.5 years and together for 13 years (college sweethearts), so I think we're really ready for this new phase in our lives!
  • Hi ladies! Just when we decided to take a break from TTGP, BOOM! So I am sneaking into the end of the month with an expected due date of 29 June. This will be baby number 3 for me and my first baby in Canada (I was posted overseas with the last two).

  • I guess I should introduce myself.  This was definitely a surprise pregnancy, as we were NOT looking to get pregnant right now, and we DTD a whopping 1 time this month because DH had surgery and wasn't cleared for activity.  Looks like we had perfect timing.  

    This will be my 2nd biological (I have an almost 5 year old at home, and a 3.5 year old step son).  Due date 6/30, first u/s scheduled for 11/8.
