Hi ladies & congrats! I'm excited to join, (although insanely nervous at the same time). My name is Amy & I live in Southern Ca. After 10 months of trying, I'm happy to be pregnant with #2! DS took 2 years to conceive, so 10 months was nothing in comparison. It still doesn't feel real.
I got my BFP on Nov 14th, at 9dpo (per my CBFM). My EDD is July 30th. I'm beyond stoked to be joining you ladies!
Hi everyone! I'm a FTM and got my BFP on 11/02.. EDD 07/09. I think it might be later though. My first apt is not until 12/15 because OB is out of town till then. I got married 07/16/16 so this baby will be coming around our first anniversary! My symptoms have been mild for the most part, but this week have gotten more intense. I'm so extremely emotional..crying and short-tempered with my poor DH. I am hoping to get a handle on that. I also have pretty bad insomnia right now. MS has not really been an issue which kind of makes me nervous. I guess not everyone gets it so I'm trying not to worry too much. I didn't contribute till know because I guess I felt superstitious, but I think I really need the support. I'm very excited to be part of the community.
BFP: 10/31/16 EDD: 7/16/17 This is our second pregnancy, our first baby (girl) was born in October 2015. I'm very excited to be back on the bump! Any other Oct 2015 mommas out there?!
This is my second pregnancy. I had my DD in Dec 2015. It took us 2 years to conceive DD, so it's pretty surreal that I got pregnant my first cycle of tracking ovulation. I got my BFP on 11/04 and had my first appointment with dating ultrasound on the 22nd. We got to see the heart beating at 116, and we have a due date of 7/16! So excited to be here!
We got our bfp nov 22 and my EDD is July 29th. This will be baby #2 so I knew literally a couple days after I ovulated that I was feeling "weird". I've got an almost 4 yr old son who keeps me busy so I am exhausted!!! Can't wait to share the good news over the holidays but for now it's a secret to our family and friends. Located in SoCal
Hi there! Second time mom here! Got my BFP 11/15, blood work done 11/17 and 11/21, hcg levels continue to rise! (I had a miscarriage 3 months ago, so doc is monitoring me closely) First ultrasound scheduled 12/15. EDD is July 23.
I'm a stay at home mom to an amazing 2yo girl, and 2 very dysfunctional dogs. Wife to a traveling husband. Looking forward to getting to know you ladies through this journey!
Hi everyone! I got my first-ever BFP on October 30 and had it confirmed the next day. Based on ovulation and a typical cycle length, I am 7+6 with an EDD of July 10. We're going in for the first OB appointment tomorrow. Nervous and excited!
My EDD based in my LMP is July 26, 2017. I got my BFP 10/12, at 13DPO in the bathroom of walmart on a clear blue digi. I was one day late, and had a night of drinking with my hubs. We were on our way to visit family and I tested on a whim, as I stopped symptom spotting. (It was driving me MAD!) This is my first pregnancy and I am having a lot of mixed emotions, but mostly excitement. The reason for the mixed emotions is due to the reality of miscarriage. Keeping it real, I'm terrified of it, so I pray when I feel it overwhelming me. But I do know that I'm healthy and hoping to be a great mommy! I had an abdominal myomectomy April 2016 to remove 3 fibroid, with the largest digging into my uterus. I still have pain when I move suddenly, sneeze or cough. I have to have a mandatory c-section which isn't too scary, as the myomectomy recovery was awful! But here I am, pregnant and not really feeling pregnant outside of peeing a heck of a lot, and hunger like I've never felt before.
Quick intro: I'm 7 weeks today, husband and I were trying. Due date, for now, is July 16, the day after our 6th wedding anniversary. First appointment is not until December 12. Until then, we are just trying to be cautiously optimistic due to a miscarriage in May. I'm mostly here to share the news with SOMEONE. We decided not to tell anyone (even our parents) until at least 12 weeks this go around. It's been hard not having anyone (other than my hubs, who is WONDERFUL) to talk to because I've been struggling with a little bit of morning sickness and overall lack of energy that did not affect me the first pregnancy.
I am 5w1d pregnant with my first baby after a round of IVF. My EDD is July 29, 2017. My first US with my RE is coming up at 6W3d (December 6th) and I am so excited! We have had so much trouble TTC that I'm still afraid to get my hopes up that this is real. I want to enjoy this pregnancy but I'm just so scared. Hopefully the US will ease my mind. After browsing the boards on TB, I chose this site because people actually seem kind and respectful of each other, there's no dumb question, and there's tons of encouragement. AND I don't have to see a million people asking us to evaluate their symptoms to see if they are pregnant or not. For the love of god, just take a test people lol!!

@grace42 Congratulations! I am also on the progesterone suppositories but my RE told me to continue them for the first trimester. I'm not having too many side effects except for some bloating, how about you? My first US is also December 6th, and my EDD is July 29th. So exciting and nerve wracking at the

I got my BFP last Tuesday. It was a huge surprise for me since I'm still nursing my 6 month old baby. I have two boys so hoping for a girl. Based on my calculations I should be due around Jul 11.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to get to know all of you!
Hi everyone! I haven't read through all the intro posts but hopes I'm not the only here from outside the states. I found out Nov 6 (2 days after a negative test on my bday). EDD July 20th Look forward to being involved in the community
@HopingforBabyK, it looks like we are on the same schedule and just a couple of days apart. I don't seem to notice too many symptoms with the progesterone. Maybe a little bloating, but not much. Last week I noticed a lot of insomnia and fatigue. I've been battling with worry today over miscarriage, but I know that I must have faith and trust. I'm so ready for the first ultrasound! Come on, Dec 6!
I'll go ahead and say hi, even though I don't know where I belong. I got a really early BFP, at 10dpo, and my due date would be August 5...however, I'm a c section mom, so I would probably have this baby at the very end of July. I'm also not super confident, as this is a pregnancy after a loss. I didn't want to jump in until it was safe, but at the same time, I want to be hopeful.
I was really active before the exodus. I have a 2-year-old daughter, and we are in wv.

Hi! I am 5+6. Got my BFP 11/13 then retested the next day because I was sure it's a fluke. Dr confirmed it last week, but I'm not having the first ultrasound for another week and a half. I'm excited and nervous. Especially about giving birth. Not sleeping well because of constantly going to pee at night!
I'm also a FTM. I'm wondering when to start shopping. There are lots of great deals right now because of Black Friday and cyber Monday. And the thought of buying all at once is overwhelming. I'm thinking we can buy a couple of the large ticket items (crib, car seat, stroller) each month. Also I really want to get something for my little one. Not sure if I'm being crazy or not? Anyone else start shopping?
hey there ladies! So my estimated due date is July 15th annd i got my BFP on 11/4 via a blood test at work. Total surprise Im really excited but so scared! And let me tell you finding out so early is killing me! Man oh man has the paranoia sunk in of something being wrong. Im constantly worried about the whole miscarriage thing, I have my doctors appointment next Monday I just cant wait to hear everything is ok!
Well, I've made it this far, so I might as well stop lurking and start participating!
This is my sixth pregnancy, with no take home babies just yet. My amazing husband and I started trying in 2012 and got pregnant around the holidays with a miscarriage at about 8 weeks. The same fate for the following pregnancies. With the last two I have been taking progesterone supplements and blood thinning injections to help with an auto-immune disorder called anti-phospholipid disorder (basically a blood clotting issue).
We had a trend of getting pregnant in either November or July, but this time it was in October, so here's hoping that our streak is over and there is a healthy little babe growing inside. I've definitely had different feelings this time around, including all-day nausea which has never happened in previous pregnancies.
Here's to our July Sparkler babies...and my extra special rainbow baby!

Hello everyone! My name is Hillary, and I was an esthetician before my first son, who is now 14 months old. So, if you have any skincare questions, feel free to ask! My last pregnancy, bump wouldnt let me post for some reason, so I am glad to see that is fixed. I took a test and got a BFP about two weeks ago, and thought I was at 3 weeks, but the nurse who just scheduled my first ultasound said that I would actually be at 6-7 weeks. So, I am a bit late to the party. I hope we can all find support and humor in this community, it already looks to be a bunch of funny, sweet ladies in this bunch.
I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Leah. I just found out that I'm pregnant last week. This will be my 3rd child. My due date is technically August 2nd, but since my last 2 children were c/s I know this one will be to and they probably won't let me go past 39 weeks, which will put me at the end of July. I was in the January 2012 birth month group with my first daughter and loved it and I'm still part of our spin-off Facebook group. I joined again with my second daughter in the May 2014 group, but had to walk away after a crazy lady went off about how c/s aren't really birth and c/s moms shouldn't be part of the group. I'm happy to share any advice or stories from my previous pregnancies. (Though, as a warning, they did not go as planned. )
I am Mom to an amazing and sometimes frustrating 1 yr 7 mth old boy. This is my second pregnancy and I have a feeling it is a boy. I would love a girl. I got my BFP I think Nov 3rd.
EDD July 12th, 2017
I am not quite at the excited point. I haven't gotten my first check up due to insurance issues. Once i hear the heart beat I think it will really hit me. The nausea is super bad so far, my face is breaking out, exhaustion is killer, and smells are out of control. So much fun already hahaha I am not a glowing pregnant lady.
Hi there! Very excited to be expecting my second child. I got the BFP on 11/18. I was a week late. An online calculator says EDD is 7/21. Two months before the whole family is supposed to travel together. Yikes! No one knows yet. I'll have 2 under 2, so that's going to be interesting but I like that they'll be close. Probably in school they'll be in consecutive classes, judging by their birthdays. I wish everyone a safe and healthy journey!
Hi ladies! I am a FTM and got my BFP on 11/18. We had been trying for a while, but it was still a shock and I still can't believe there's a baby in there EDD is July 23 and my first Dr.'s appt is on 12/19. Hope to be able to contribute in the months ahead. I lurked hard core on TTGP and never felt comfortable enough to post.

Hi, second time mommy here. I just found out I'm pregnant. My actual due date is August 2nd, but there is no august mom groups yet. My daughter is 16 months old. I'm excited to be back here for a second time!
Hi ladies! Oct15 veteran here (I recognize at least three of you, hi!). DD was born last Nov 1st so these munchkins will be 21 months apart. EDD for this baby July 30! I'm a professional musician and military wife currently in CA.
It was amazing checking in with other mamas on the bump during my first pregnancy and I'm excited to get to know everyone here! Hopefully I can help out anyone with questions about cloth diapers, breastfeeding, and baby-wearing!
I'm a little late to the game but I'm a second time mom. My DD is 5.5 and I started on TB when I was pg with her. We have been FTC since April 2015 finally got a bfp on 10/26 at 10dpo. Edd is 7/8/17. I work full time as a vet tech and otherwise just enjoy taking DD to all her activities she's involved in. Interesting fact I'm still in a FB group that originated here as the May 11 bumpies. I love that we have been a group watching our kids grow for so long.
