My first intro post was apparently eaten by board maintenance, so I'll try again.
My husband and I are 32 and we've been married for 8 years. I was excited to have my first BFP on 10/13. I just had my first ultrasound and was dated at 6w2d, so my due date is like July 23rd?
Hi I hope it's ok to join the July board my EDD is 8/5/16 however I will have a repeat c-section most likely the last week of July and the August board isn't created yet so I decided that July will be my month board. My DS is 3 he was born 7/23/2013 so this baby will be very close to my sons birth date! Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Hello, hope it's okay to join this board for now. I'm 5 weeks pregnant with #2 and due 3 August, but there's no August 2017 board yet. My daughter was born February of this year and she came 6 days early so maybe I'll have a July baby after all!
Hi there! I've been lurking here since I got my BFP back in October and thought I would go ahead and introduce myself. I was kind of active last year on TTGP for a couple months, but I wasn't really a regular. My EDD is July 3rd, but my first 2 were 3 weeks early so I bet it will be more likely toward the end of June.
**Trigger warning losses mentioned** I have 2 kids, ages 8 and 7, girl and boy. DH is 31 and I'm 30, this is his first. We suffered a cp our first cycle and got a bfp the following month only to end in a mmc at 12 weeks (baby stopped growing around 6 weeks). So I'm definitely suffering from PGAL brain. My OB is a saint and I've had 3 ultrasounds so far, all of them showing a strong heartbeat and measuring right on time. He has me come in every two weeks for ultrasounds due to the previous losses, which has been amazing.
I'm looking forward to getting to know my fellow July 17ers, and keeping everything crossed that we have a healthy and happy 9 months ahead!
PS- I'm mobile bumping so if my siggy isn't updated please excuse the old ticker I need to get on my laptop later and fix it.
Sadly, I found out today that I've had a miscarriage. My RE is checking my HCG levels to make sure they are dropping and that it's not an ectopic pregnancy. I started some light spotting Monday that gradually got heavier and more red along with menstrual-like cramps. I had a previous loss around this same time 2 years ago. The ultrasound today (5 wks, 4 days) showed no gestational sac, no growths on ovaries, and no dilation of tubes. The plan is to have RPL (recurrent pregnancy loss?) labs drawn early next week. My MIL told me that she conceived twins (my husband and SIL) after a miscarriage. Maybe next time will be twins! Thank you for letting me share! Hope you all have healthy pregnancies and little ones in July!
I'm will be a first time mom, 27 years old and my husband is 27 as well. We live in CA and have been married since August 2014. This was a surprise to the both of us since we weren't trying but I was giving b/c a break so I shouldn't be too surprised lol. Our EDD is July 13, 2017. We plan to tell our families on Christmas Eve and I can't wait to share the joy with them. In the mean time I look forward to learning and hearing from your experiences. God bless.
Hello! It took awhile for me to transition from the TTGP board over here- I found out really early and wanted to wait a bit. I got my BFP (Faint) at 8DPO, on 10/26. This will be my second child, DS was born 7/2013. I am due July 10... 1 week exactly from DS birthday!
Hi everyone! I'm 7w2d due on July 18th. My first appointment yesterday confirmed that My DH and I are both 31 and we have a 2.5 year old daughter. I was pretty active on her BMB but life took over and I drifted away. I work full time in marketing and I'm already wondering how I'm going to take care of a sassy toddler and a newborn plus everything else
Hi ladies! I'm an American living in Germany, expecting our second baby around July 2.
I was active on the June '15 board and formed some great friendships there. DS is almost 18 months, and I will be narrowly missing 2 Under 2 status, if all goes well.
Looking forward to getting to know you over these next several months, and wishing everyone the very best.
I am Keri. Our EDD is July 17th (according to the ultrasound, I'm kind of waiting for that one to change again). BFP was Sunday Nov. 6th, and we were as shocked as anyone! I actually didn't think I was pregnant until that morning. But I have certainly known since then!
Hubby and Me Friends since 2008 Started dating: July 1st, 2013 Engaged: July 1st, 2014 Married: July 1st, 2016 R born: July 8th, 2017 N born: June 30th, 2019 Baby #3 Due: July 7th, 2022 (maybe I only ovulate in October XD)
So 5w 1s pregnant. Found out nov 23rd via HPT. BFP led to a bunch more :-P I have a 13 month old wild child already, putting me in the 2 under 2 range. EDD 8/3 but as this will be a repeat csection (although I reserve the right to change my mind for a VBAC), this baby would come around July 27th ish. Haven't even bother calling the MD since it's still early on tbh. Maybe I'll give a ring at some point today.
TTC #1: Mirena removed 5/26/2015; DH - normal SA, me - diagnosed with PCOS 8/4/2016 - on Metformin; BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017; DD born 6/29/2017
S15 mama here finally joining you ladies! I was pretty active on S15 but since we moved over to FB I strayed away from the BMB. I am 99% on mobile, which is not always user friendly. Not sure why, but my S15 account was wiped out and I had to have my waiting period before being able to post here.
EDD 7/29 BFP 11/17 (Surprise after CP in October) DD 15mos
Excited to join you all and hello to my S15 mommys (I know a few of you are in here )
I would like to re-introduce myself. I have been here for a couple of weeks now, but I have had some bad experiences, and I would like to push the reset button, as it were. I am 28 years old, my husband is 43. We live in Colorado, way high up in the mountains. When you look at a recipe, and it has high altitude baking directions, we are about 3,000 above that. As a cake decorator hobbyist, this is a problem, but I make it work. I am due July 20, and my birthday is July 28. Fun times! I have my first OB appointment tomorrow, 12/3, and I am very excited.
I struggle with various mental health issues. None of them are severe enough that I am getting treatment for them, though I have in the past. The biggest thing I struggle with is conflict. I am not a fighting type of person. If someone tries to fight with me or bully me into doing something, I almost always back down and run away, usually resulting in crying. The other issue that I am really lacking in is self-confidence. The two are probably related, now that I think about it. I am constantly questioning myself, obsessing over something that I have said or done or something that has happened to me. I very rarely offer myself or my opinions, because I don't feel that they are worthy or beneficial in the situation. I am really struggling with this board, and have recently been called out on it, for asking too many questions and not offering enough answers. My problem is that this is my first pregnancy, and I do not feel qualified to answer or offer advice. I do not know when you should by a nursing bra, because I have not gotten there yet. Ask me about theatre, and I will give you more information than you could possibly imagine (I have been on stage since I was two years old). Ask me about skiing, and I will get you on the blues by the second lesson (I am a part time kids' ski instructor). Ask me about which pump I prefer, and I will have a really hard time answering you.
All of this is just a really inappropriate way of apologizing for not being more supportive and asking too many questions about me and my experiences. I hope that, as time goes on and I become more confident in my pregnancy, I will be able to offer help to some of the rest of you through the next few months and, hopefully, years.
Welcome all of the truly new people, and congratulations! Thank you for letting me 'Dear Diary' a little. I realize this probably isn't the right place for this, but I am a little gun-shy about starting a new thread, so I hope nobody is too upset with me for hijacking the thread for a moment. Love!

Idk the drama you speak of but please don't apologize for asking questions as a FTM!! I didn't offer much advice at all as a FTM on S15!!! If an internet stranger wants to call you out, who cares honestly. Lol Ignore them, and then read and learn on here. Welcome and congrats!!!
Hello everyone, I'm glad I found this app. It's too early to tell friends and family, but I feel like I'm going to burst if I don't talk to someone.
I'm 33 and have been with my husband for 8 years. I have three children from previous marriage. 15 years old girl, 13 year old boy, and my baby, a 9 year old boy.
Two years ago we tried to conceive, and lost 4 pregnancies . I had never lost any before that year. So we took a break.
My first BFP was 10-24-16. My first scan was 11-11-16 (6 weeks along) EDD based off the ultrasound is July 7th
I was terrified, I'm still scared. Here's the kicker. We were casually trying. We haven't explored medical assistance yet. BOTH babies had good strong heartbeats!

Hopping over here from the June board as my EDD was just officially pushed back to July 2. I'll likely hang out on both, if that's ok.
**Trigger Warning - Loss**
This is pregnancy #5 for us. I have 2 boys, ages 5 and 2. We had a MC last December. My daughter passed away in the NICU in 2012. I have a history of pre-term labor and delivery, so we'll be tracking this LO extra closely.
Hi! Nice to join you ladies. I'm Ashley, 32, husband 31.
BFP: Nov 11 EDD: July 20, first sono on Dec 14
Very cautiously excited to join this club as so many friends and fam have miscarried. But feel so fortunate as my husband and I were pleasantly shocked it happened so quickly given some previous med history of mine.
Hey everyone!! I am so excited!! We have been trying and praying since our miscarriage in February. Finally got my BFP on the 18th!!! Our beautiful rainbow baby is due July 14th! Went in for an early ultrasound and got to see our beautiful blessing and hear the heartbeat. Congratulations ladies!!
Alright lets see here. I got my BFP on Nov 21st. EDD is July 30. I have my first apt on 12/15. I've felt like absolute CRAP and I've been trying not to let my already existing anxiety get the best of me but I am literally just scared. I know this is obviously normal, and that these hormones aren't helping but JEEZ! I know I'll get excited once we tell our family and friends and everyone gets all giddy about it. We're telling the family on Christmas day with some super cheesy presents (grandpa and grandma shirts for mom and dad etc...) So yeah, that's all I've got for now. I've been creeping for a while on the boards ever since we started TTC (6months or so ago). I used to belong to a forum for military SO's a long while ago and I got some great support and made life long friends from the ladies on there so I figured where else to find other chicks going through the same thing than on the Bump right? So hey all!
edit: I guess i should add the logistics.... Me:28 DH:32 Married since 9/5/15 together since 2009....First BFP ever so yeah like i said, still freaking out.

Hello All! I'm new here and a first time mommy to be :
My first US is this Friday and I've already been to the Dr twice as she has ran blood tests for levels. EDD is around July 28th! That puts us at about 6 weeks, 3 days but that could change!
Pleasure to meet you all How do I do my Hubby and Me timeline and tickers at the bottom like everyone else? Thanks in advance.
