Knottie96400174 · January 2017

I ladies! I have an EDD of August 19, at 7 weeks baby was measuring 2 days larger but they haven't changed anything, the IS tech said within 2 days of the estimated age by LMP is great. I hope he/she comes 2 days early though because the date would be perfect for our family. My DD (7.5) has bd 4/09/09, my husband and I married 8/15/15 and this baby would be 8/17/17 if 2 days early. Though he/she could also take our anniversary, if be fine with that and my hubby would have no excuse to ever forget it, lol! The only thing that would've been even more neat is if we had a 8/18/18 baby bc that's exactly double our daughters bday.

Hello all!
My name is Robbie. My EDD is August 1st and my BFP date was December 2nd. My husband had suggested I take a test after I started bawling when I realized I'd forgotten spaghetti sauce on my way home. We live in Oregon and have been married for 3 years, together for over 10. I'm 27 and this is our first baby

. I've been lovingly referring to our baby as our little parasite which seems to amuse everyone. We're very very excited! Congrats to everyone on here!!!

@RobbieLynnette I refer to mine as a monster! People look a little confused at first and then laugh it off. Welcome!

shyviolet-2 · January 2017

Hi Ladies! I have been lurking for a while but I had my first ultrasound yesterday and figured it was time to join. My EDD is Aug 12, my birthday is Aug 7 and anniversary is Aug 16 so this baby will add to an already busy month. But I love having an August birthday and am so excited to share it. DH and I have been together 13 years and married for 8. We have a DS who is 3 and had almost given up on a 2nd. It took a while to get used to the idea of a second but after seeing the baby yesterday I am starting to get excited.

bwing10 · January 2017

I have posted on a few discussions and even started a discussion myself, so I figured I would introduce myself. My edd is August 10th, I am high risk so I have gotten to see the baby and it's heartbeat 4 time so far and every time I am amazed by the little hunny pot growing inside me. (We are doing Winnie the Pooh) DH and I got married in June 2010 and this is our first baby after trying for 6 years! We are super excited For our new adventure!

megaroo42 · January 2017

@TwoDogMomma and @awheeler4311 I also live in York County, at the southern end of the area. It's nice to see other local mommas!

Also, have you two joined the Central PA section? As far as I can tell, there's no other actives.

maryallisont · January 2017

Hi everyone! I'm Mary. I live on Cape Cod with my husband. I've had this app for awhile but I didn't realize there were boards until a friend mentioned to me a couple days ago. My EDD is August 17th. My BFP was on Dec 9th. So far, I seem to be the typical paranoid, stressed out FTM. I'm looking forward to a calming effect from knowing everyone here is in the same boat. We're super excited and it's nice to have a group to talk to, the secrecy of this kills me!

pinnerk · January 2017

I've been very nervous to post here simply because I've experienced 2 losses.
Anyways, Im going to start now.
My name is Kelsey, I am 10 weeks along. My EDD is august 10.
My BF and I have been together 2 years now, we have a 21 year old cat and he has a 10 year old son from a pervious relationship.
Looking forward to getting to know you all for a good long 40 weeks

CanadianChris · January 2017

Hello everyone! My name is Christine, I am 32 and from Alberta, Canada. My EDD is August 25 and this will be me and my husband's first child (well human child anyways, we have a very spoiled cat lol).

We had been struggling with infertility for just under 2 years and baby was conceived on our third round of IUI with clomid, BFP was on Dec 16. Still doesn't feel quite real even though we had our first ultrasound on Monday and everything is looking good, one singleton (Dr. was worried about twins because of my hcg test results more than doubling but looks like just one in there!) heart rate 171 bpm.

Looking forward to getting to know all you other August birthday ladies

@CanadianChris CONGRATS! Where are you in Alberta?
I am just north of red deer (central)

CanadianChris · January 2017

Thank you, Congrats as well!! I'm in Calgary, wasn't sure if there were many other Canadians/Albertans on here who would know cities

JWatt5 · January 2017

@CanadianChris @laryk123 - Hi hi!! Fellow canadian - I was out in Alberta in Fort Mac but moved back after the fire. There's a few Canadians here

Edit - Moved "back" means back to Ontario!

thistle8677 · January 2017

Hello Ladies,
After 2.5 years of TTC, 4 back to back early losses, a failed IUI, male factor, and facing the financial crisis of how to afford Ivf; we managed to conceive naturally! I am over the moon that so far this pregnancy seems to be
very strong and sticky.

I am 10wks1d, due August 19th.
This will be my 5th child, but my fiancé's first.
I'm 39 and will be 40 a month after my due date.
Feeling very fortunate and blessed. Looking forward to reaching the second trimester!
I'm from Portland, Or.

Milsby · January 2017

Expecting baby number 3 in late August. DS 1 is 8, DS 2 is 5. I'm anxious for my first apt on 1/30.

katieran · January 2017

@JWatt5 @CanadianChris @laryk123 Another Canadian here!

Justbam1985 · January 2017

Hi everyone,
FTM here and I finally decided to post. I got my BFP on Dec 24, it was a great gift for the hubby. But I must have ovulated late cause I am due Aug 29. We were trying for 1.5years before being diagnosed with PCOS. However, we were lucky enough to not need any fertility medicine. We took a Hawaiian vacation to relax and recharge our batteries and surprise! We are super excited, but everyday I'm nervous and worried I'm going to miscarry. My next dr. Appt is Feb 15th, but I won't get another u/s then. My last one was at 8 weeks 1 day and it didn't really look like a fetus yet. Lol This waiting game is terrible. Good luck to all you mammas!

Costagna16 · January 2017

FTM also finally posting.
Got my BFP Dec 15 and EDD is Aug 25th! DH and I started trying late November and it happened quickly! Which I'm very happy about.
Had one sono at 8 weeks, was so exciting to hear a heartbeat!
It's nice to follow along with everyone and realize you aren't the only one with terrible morning sickness and generally not feeling great.

andressab · January 2017

Hello everyone and congrats to all of you!
I never really introduced myself but i have created a couple of boards and joined in some discussions.

My name is Andressa, I am from Brazil but I've lived in Texas for about 10 years. My husband and I have been married for 2 years (3 years in April), we got married a year and a month after we started dating!
I am 23 year old and hubby is 28. We are expecting our first baby! Very happy and very excited.
We have a shih tzu- Olivia! She has been our bundle of joy and we are happy to give her a sibling.
My EDD is August 27, I am 9 weeks along. We found out very early at 4weeks (christmas week) it was/is the best gift i could have received after a very bad, depressing, and devastating 2016. Our baby is a long waited miracle, although we were not planning to have a baby anytime soon, our baby brought happiness to us.

I wish yall the best, and cannt wait to help, motivate, discuss and embrace every single one of you on this journey!

lp81502 · January 2017

Hello! STM mom here - we have a 4 year old little girl. Due date August 1st!

HTentas · January 2017

Hello!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby

. I went off BC in September, got a BFP in October, and miscarried in November. However, my husband convinced me to take a pregnancy test right before Christmas because my normal cycle hadn't returned - lo and behold it was positive. A viability scan on Dec 30th confirmed I was 5 wks 6 days along, with an EDD of Aug 26th.

I haven't had any testing since, so it's been a very long 5 week wait. I finally have an intake appt tomorrow, and then an appt with the doctor on Feb 1st. I'm hoping they can confirm everything is okay so I can stop worrying!

quitexcontrary · January 2017

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while now, and finally am ready to be joining the board. I got my BFP December 5th after realizing I was late. My husband and I are both from Houston, but we are currently in Kansas. Let's see, what else? I have two kids- DS is 5 (nov 11 bmb) and DD is 3 (aug 13 bmb). I've had 2 m/c along the way, most recent one was last October. I'm kind of nervous about having a 3rd, but I'm super excited at the same time. My husband is pretty excited about it, so that helps calm my nerves some days. I'm 13 weeks as of today- holy cow! I have my second appt this Friday, praying things are looking good.

ETA- EDD is Aug 7

Lyzybs · January 2017

Hey everyone! My name is Liz, I'm a 22 year old FTM. I live with my fiancé (hubby as of this coming Friday!) in Brooklyn. My EDD is August 20th. Congrats to all of you ladies ❤

littlebug2010 · January 2017

Welcome Liz, I would suggest that if you would like people to be able to easily tag you in conversations, change your SN to something other than the Knottie********** one that you have right now. The generic SN's not are super hard to tag, but its hard to remember who you are, if there is nothing distinct about your profile. Its really easy to change, just log into TheKnot, with the same info you used to get here, and go to your profile settings and change it! Again Welcome, and I hope you jump right in!

Mvvs82 · February 2017

Hi! STM here! I have a 2yr old beautiful little girl (D14 was my old BB) and now hubby and I are expecting baby #2 due on August 15th! Very excited to be back here!

Lauradi1010 · February 2017

@Mvvs82
Another D14 Momma here. Sort of dropped out at the end due to the holiday season and some of drama. I'm still not sure what got half the group booted, but it looked messy.

baby_steven · February 2017

hello mammas to be!
I'm a first time mom; got your bfp at the end of November and edd is Aug 5 2017. I'm currently 13 weeks 4 days. I live in Canada and I'm 26 years old. I've heard good things about this app and looking forward to getting to know you all better

emalue · February 2017

Hey ladies!
I thought I introduce myself as I've been lurking for a few weeks already. I'm a STM with due date of Aug 26th. I joined the bumb a few years ago when pregnant with my son. (April 2013 momma)
Now im back on!

Lauradi1010 · February 2017

To those who recently introduced yourselves, welcome. It may seem a bit overwhelming at first, but it helps to read through the "read this first board". The "weekly random" thread and the "ticker change" threads are always great places to ask questions. I'm a STM and love the "Everything you didn't want to know about pregnancy, birth and postpartum" thread. It's long but a great refresher for STMs and a plethora of info for FTM.

Hopefully, this makes starting out on the board easier.

JWatt5 · February 2017

@baby_steven - The bump has been a great community. Canadian as well, Ontario (outside the GTA).

baby_steven · February 2017

@JWatt5 great to meet you!

lwhrmomma · February 2017

Getting so excited for all of us mama's! Can't believe that the second trimester is in sight for all of us, if you haven't already reached it! So excited for the next 6 months and beyond with you ladies.

WineAndDogs · February 2017

Hi all! I've been lurking for quite some time (since my BFP on 12/12), and finally at 11weeks 5 days I'm ready to say hello. This is our first child and we are very excited! We go for our NT can in a few days and can't wait to see he/she moving around again. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

veemh · February 2017

Hi everyone

I'm a first time mom in the DC area. My BFP was 12/3/16 (first response early result) and i'm due August 12! I'm excited to read all about everyones experiences and look forward to learning more about pregnancy in general! I'm very new to this and trying to catch on to all the abbreviations so I apologize if I use them incorrectly! My husband and I are so excited for this baby and we decided not to find out the gender

He wants a girl, i'm feeling more like it's a boy - we shall see!

Leah821 · February 2017

Hi everyone-I'm Leah, from Seattle. I have a 16 month old daughter and I'm officially due 8/31 though I expect I will give birth earlier than that because I found out yesterday that my husband and I are expecting twins! I was taking Clomid so it shouldn't be a complete shock but I'm pretty freaked out about it...just trying to stay positive and take things a day at a time

katieo812 · February 2017

Hi guys! My husband and I live in Delaware, and this is our first baby! I'm due 8/31 (which happen to be my mother's birthday - although I'm sure baby won't cooperate!) We just had our first appointment and ultrasound this week, and it was so amazing to see the little nugget moving around in there! I'm excited to be finishing up the first trimester and hopefully have more energy:)

KJUMPER7 · February 2017

Hi Everyone-

Got our BFP dec 12 and our EDD is aug. 21. This is our 2nd, we have a 2 year old son. I had a missed miscarriage in August, so we are excited to welcome our rainbow baby. We've gone through numerous fertility treatments for all 3 pregnancies, it's been a rough road. Just got our genetic tests done and with healthy results for our baby girl figured I'd finally join.

amb2419 · February 2017

Hi, everyone! My name is Abby. I've been a serial lurker on TB since my first baby on the Jan 14 board. This will be our third. We have a 3 yo and 10 mo, both boys. This was kind of expected but happened much sooner than when we were TTGP last time. My BFP was Dec 29 and my EDD is Aug 31!

happylifex3 · February 2017

Hey there ladies!! I have been a dirty lurker for a few weeks and decided it was finally time to intro. My EDD is August 31st so I'm 10w5d. I used to frequent the bump quite a bit when I had my daughter but S13 has pretty much died. SO and I were seriously considering being "one and done" when I got my bfp the day after Christmas. So this pregnancy was definitely a HUGE surprise. However, we couldn't be more happy. I'm so excited to have another group of ladies to go through this with.

emmeline714 · February 2017

Hello ladies......... I been on bump for my last pregnancy which i had my daughter AUG 17, 2016 but once baby girl came along i was hardly on here since she was my first baby and now I am having my 2nd baby which the estimated due date is AUG 23, 2017.
