Hi ladies!!!! So excited this board is up and running!!!!

I am due on October 2!! Got my BFP early on January 20. I have a 20 month old DS (May 2015) and suffered a MMC in September 2016. I'm from Manitoba, Canada! I am 28 and my DH is 27.

So excited to get to know you ladies. I am still extremely close with my May 2015 bump community!

kolache3 · January 2017

EDD is October 4 based on period and October 9 based on ovulation. I am 26 (27 when baby is due) and do not have any kids yet. I am from Austin, TX. My DH is 30 and even though we weren't *really* trying...it's crazy that this happened because I've always wanted to have my first baby at age 26/27 and I felt strongly about the month of October. I've been charting for a year but not fully TTC...and didn't know when we would really commit to starting...just slowly easing into it and getting a little more lax about trying to avoid pregnancy...and look what happened! LOL.

ThePoshRobin · January 2017

Also due October 2nd

Got my BFP quite early, on the 19th on internet cheapies and FRER. I have one DD (currently singing to me in her bath LOL), age 4.5. One MC and one MMC since we've been trying for #2. I'm in Massachusetts! I'm 36 and DH is 38... so I guess I'm "Advanced Maternal Age" LOL
Hoping I get to stick around here this time...

SwtAnana · January 2017

1) What's your EDD? October 3rd!

2) Do you have other children? Nope...this will be our first. We've been trying since 2015 though and discovered that we weren't going to be one of those lucky couples who can just look at each other and get knocked up lol. Have had a successful frozen embryo transferred and 2 betas confirming a viable pregnancy. 1st U/S coming up this week to make sure it's intrauterine then I guess another one 1-2 weeks from then to check for the heartbeat.

3) Where are you from? Originally from Florida but now I live in PA.

4) How old are you and SO? I'm 31 and will still be 31 (barely!) at delivery. DH is 35.

dinosaur · January 2017

OMG!! I'm so happy that October is up!!!

1) What's your EDD? October 6th
2) Do you have other children? None
3) Where are you from? Originally from Vancouver Canada, but I temporally live in the Los Angeles area.
4) How old are you and SO? I am 28 and DH is 29

sjohns908 · January 2017

I'm so excited this is finally up! I have been hanging out on the September board but feel totally out of place since most of them are so much further along than I am!

1) What's your EDD? From my calculations, either September 30th or October 1st. Won't really know until u/s in the 13th!

2) Do you have other children? Yes, we have a 7yo DD, 5yo DS and 2yo DD

3) Where are you from? Eastern Iowa

4) How old are you and SO? I'm 28, DH is 29

Sorry to hear about your loss.

*TW*

We also suffered a loss in November, we were at 10 weeks. So it's exciting and nerve-wracking to be pregnant again. Fingers crossed for these rainbow babies!

ksf13 · January 2017

Hi everyone! I've been keeping a check on when the October board would be up!

I should be due October 7th (got my BFP yesterday, very faint, but definitely there lol). We currently have an almost 3 1/2 year old DD (I was very active on the September 2013 board, but it's since fizzled out)! DH and I are both 28 and have been together since we were 15 and 16. We are originally from Alabama, but living in Connecticut for now!

So excited to get to know everyone and actually have a place to talk about this LO, since we aren't announcing for a while. It's so hard not to tell the world haha.

mommac2017 · January 2017

@momtobe613, our stories are actually a bit creepy in their similarities. I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. I also had one in September 2016. Worst time of my life. So thankful to be pregnant again and praying that this will be our rainbow baby!!

babymish · January 2017

Hi everyone! So excited to finally be here.

My current EDD is 4th Oct based on a day 6 embryo and transfer day. I have my first ultrasound on Feb 9th. SO and I have been TTC for 17 cycles/16 months and moved onto IVF in Oct 16. Our first fresh transfer failed to implant (2 embryos). This was a FET of our final two frozen embryos.

This will be our first child/children (if twins).
I am from Yorkshire, UK and SO is from Buckinghamshire, UK and we live in London.
I'm 32 and SO is 28.

I was a regular participant on TTGP from Oct 15 - Aug 16 and still speak daily to some awesome friends I made on TB along the way. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Raincity · January 2017

Hello everyone!! I'm thrilled this board is finally up. I felt like I was cheating, or skipping ahead in the line, because I found out so early (BFP on 9DPO). I had this weird fraud-complex hanging out with 'the big kids' on the board September, and so many of the fun early threads were finished already! (Like, how did you tell your significant other, etc.)

1) What's your EDD?
My due date is around September 29-October 2nd.

2) Do you have other children?

----TW---
Nope. We suffered a loss in October, 2015 at 6w 3d. For the last 2 weeks that has been really messing with my head. I was not enjoying this pregnancy whatsoever because I did not believe it was real. I see a therapist weekly and she helped me come to terms with the fact that because of my previous loss, maybe early pregnancy is just going to suck, and I should just embrace that! That immediately lifted the guilt and ambivalence that I wasn't reacting 'the way I should' to the news, and now I feel much more stable and confident in this. I have a strong intuition that this one is going to be ok.

Anyone else just floored by the amount of previous losses that other people have experienced on these boards? While I would not have wished that on anyway, seeing how incredibly commonplace they are makes me feel so much more relieved and, well...normal.

-----end TW------

3) Where are you from?
New England, but I currently live in North Carolina

4) How old are you and SO?
I'm soon to be 32 and my husband is soon to be 31.

Megzb510 · January 2017

So happy to see you here @babymish

@SwtAnana I've also come from the IVF world! Can't wait to hear about your first ultrasound. What do you and @babymish think about an IVF update thread since we will have additional ultrasounds and monitoring?

hi ladies! I am 32 years old, DH is 30. We have a 4 year old son and have been married 4 years. We live in the Chicago area. We have been TTC for 19 months, and started with an RE in June 2016. We had a failed IUI in august and moved to IVF. My first FET in November unfortunately ended in a chemical as my beta did not double. I am 9dp5dt (so essentially 4 weeks today) and just turned a digital test. My beta is Monday and I would have a follow up beta on Wednesday. Fingers crossed for good results!

My EDD based on my transfer date with a 5 day embryo will be Oct 7.

I was also a regular on TTGP from Aug 2015 to June 2016 (sort of dropped off once we started with the RE). I was more of a lurker on my August 2012 BMB but I loved it so much and I am so excited to be apart of a new board once it opens up.

carryingablessing · January 2017

1) What's your EDD?: October 7th. YAY
2) Do you have other children? Yes, sweet little boy who is 16 months old.
3) Where are you from? I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil but I've been living in Minnesota for 6 years.
4) How old are you and SO? I'm 26 and DH is 33.

I'm excited to connect!

Hiddenlake · January 2017

1) What's your EDD? October 6th! Just a few days after my birthday!!
2) Do you have any other children? This question breaks my heart everytime. I had a little boy in 2015 that was born still after my water broke too soon. Since So and I started TTC again, I lost 3 more. My numbers are finally looking good and with the help of an acupuncturist my confidence about this pregnancy is on the rise.
3) Where are you from? I have lived in many states but currently living in sunny Florida.
4) How old are you and SO? I am 31 and DH is 32.

mommac2017 · January 2017

@ttschaffer, I am so incredibly sorry for your losses. I can't even imagine the pain you have gone through. I'm so glad that you're joining us in October 2017!!!

sjohns908 · January 2017

@Raincity I felt the same way, feeling like I was cheating finding out at 8dpo and hanging out on S17 when I'm not entirely sure if my edd is September 30th or October 1st. I'm sure I'll end up having this baby in september anyways, but everyone else is so far along already, I feel totally behind and missed a lot of posts. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I had a hard time at first trying to be excited about this pregnancy since we had a loss in November. But DH said to me "just be excited like you know you want to. Because regardless if something happens, this is still our baby and we should be excited". He's amazing and that helped a lot.

@ttschaffer I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I can't even imagine

wannabeamongoose · January 2017

1) What's your EDD? I think Sept. 30 but my last was due Sept. 30 and wasnt born until week into October. I might straddle between the two boards since this one could easily come in October too.

2) Do you have other children? A one year old

3) Where are you from? Colorado

4) How old are you and SO? Both 32 (although if you ask DH he's also 31 or 33 on any given day. How does he not know how old he is?)

sdarling2010 · January 2017

Hi Ladies! Just discovered we were expecting early yesterday morning and came directly to The Bump to find my birth month! I wasn't very active in the March 2014 group during my last pregnancy and hope to jump in more this time around! Can't wait to connect with all the October mamas!

1) What's your EDD?
Based on my last period, baby is due October 6!

2) Do you have other children?
We have one 2.5 year old daughter (3 in March)! She's been asking for a sister for a couple months (lots of friends having babies) ... she doesn't know a baby is on the way yet - can't wait to tell her in a few weeks! Pregnancy with a LO, with tons of energy, will make things very different this time around!

3) Where are you from?
We live in Washington State, about 45 minutes from Seattle.

4) How old are you and SO?
I'm 31 (32 in March) and SO is 33.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

deadasthatsquirrel · January 2017

1. October 1st - eeeep!

2. Nope, just a big, stupid dog.

3. Originally from Scotland, but moved to Vancouver BC a couple of years ago.

4. Husb is 33 and I turned 35 on Tuesday. (I got my first positive test a few days before - best present ever!)

Delighted to be here, ladies!

SwtAnana · January 2017

@Megzb510 let's do it! It'd be nice to talk about the extra ultrasounds and blood sticks!

HeartItRaces · January 2017

1) What's your EDD?
October 10th ( a few days after my birthday as well!)

2) Do you have other children?
DD is 20 months and I'm also wondering how different this pregnancy will be chasing after a little one!

3) Where are you from?
PA

4) How old are you and SO?
DH and I are both 31

Looking forward to connecting with other Oct 17 mamas!

sjohns908 · January 2017

1) What's your EDD- October 1st (confirmation at ultrasound on feb 10th)

4) How old are you and SO- I am 40 (41 in March) and my DH is 36.

beezeee · January 2017

Hi everyone! I just got my BFP today. I'm guessing my due date is around Oct. 5, but not positive because my cycles tend to fluctuate. We have a 2.5 year old daughter (June 2014) - I was a total lurker on the June 2014 when I was pregnant with her, and regretted not participating. So, here I am! We live in the Milwaukee area. I'm 29 and DH is 30.

I am excited to get to know all of you and participate more this time around

MommaBear+ · January 2017

Hi everyone,

My EDD is Oct 9th and i got my bfp yesterday morning at 11dpo.

I have a 13 month old son who is my rainbow baby after a devastating MMC at 12 weeks.

I'm from Toronto, Ontario and Im 31 and hubby is 36.

We are so excited and nervous at the same time!!

Looking forward to connecting with other mommas

Khogue4077 · January 2017

Hello, everyone!!! I am so excited about being a part of this group!

1) Our EDD is October 7th!
2) I have 2 SDs 8&9 and one DS who will be 2 soon.
3) We are from Arkansas!
4) I just turned 26 this week and my SO is 31.

I am looking forward to this new adventure!!!

s_corrigall · January 2017

Hi everyone! And congratulations to all!!

I've been waiting for the board to come up just to have some folks to talk to about all of this; I hate having to keep this a secret from everyone in my life.

EDD is Oct. 3rd, though it may be sooner because of a scheduled c-section. My 22 month old daughter was breech so I opted for a scheduled c-section. I'm working on the assumption that I'll go the c-section route again.

I'm 34 and my SO is 36,and we're from Calgary, Alberta.

As anxious as I was for this groups to be up and running, I will say that I am a bit nervous to join... My first birth month community was a mess-- women bullying and ganging up on one another, and hurling insults and vulgarities at people that would try to stand up for themselves. The kicker for me was when one mom told me to "hang myself with a rope soaked in my own urine". So I'm really hoping that this community will be a more positive space. I'm sure that it will be!

Raincity · January 2017

@s_corrigall WHAT that is INSANE!! Are there not moderators on this site to put an immediate end to cyberbullying and threats and such nonsense? I'm sorry you had that experience!! Here's hoping our birth month board is populated by nice, well-adjusted folks.

nhoover88 · January 2017

I have been waiting for what seems like forever on the board to open! Happy it has! I tested on 1/27 received a light positive, so light I thought I was imagining it! I tested the very next morning and low & behold a BFP! Now the wait on the 1st dr appointment on 2/16. Feels like forever!

1) What's your EDD? October 3rd

2) Do you have other children? I have a stepson that will be turning 11 next weekend. We are going to tell him that he will be a big brother at dinner for his birthday!

3) Where are you from? North Carolina

4) How old are you and SO? I am 28. SO is 33.

nhoover88 · January 2017

@s_corrigall Oh gosh! What an experience you had with another group!! I hope this one is a good group. Congratulations on baby #2!

mommac2017 · January 2017

@s_corrigall, that's actually horrible! My previous bump group got horribly mean too. I actually left for all of second trimester and came back for third. By third trimester it seemed the "mean ones" had all left when some new rules were put in place. I am now unbelievably close with my May 2015 group. Hopefully October 2017 can avoid that same horribleness and just be awesome instead!!!

Deal everyone?! Lol

xiheatherix · January 2017

Hello I am Heather and Im due October 7 with baby #3
I have a girl 4 and a boy 2 so this is going to be our tie breaker baby!! We are over the moon excited for this new adventure of being outnumbered. I am from New Jersey and look forward to meeting everyone and I am 31 and husband 32

yay for October babies!

kdel921 · January 2017

Hi everyone!

1) What's your EDD? Oct 1st
2) Do you have other children? Nope, this will be my first.

3) Where are you from? NJ
4) How old are you and SO? Me 35 SO 38

LouiseStar · January 2017

Hi! Excited to join in! Just got my first very faint positives at 10dpo! I realize I'm being a bit optimistic joining this early... But why not try to enjoy every second!

Based on the day I know that I conceived, I have a due date of 10/11, but if you use my LMP, it would be 10/13. I'm gonna go with 10/11.

I have four other children (teenaged stepson and three of my own from 18mo-5 and a half). My first two were very close together in age and I really wanted my third to have someone close, but until recently my husband was adamantly against any more. He even saw a urologist about getting a vasectomy! BUT. One day a few weeks ago, he changed his mind and I JUMPED on the chance.

Anyway. I hope to be involved as this is (almost certainly, though never say never) my last pregnancy! I am officially AMA now, so I'm extra nervous about this one (I know that's kind of silly).

I am a doctor and live in the US!

Good luck with first trimester everyone!

kkerner87 · January 2017

Just going off an app, but EDD is October 9th. This will our second little! DD is 17 months old. H and I are both 29! From Baltimore, MD! Wishing everyone H&H 9 months!

laeberge3 · January 2017

Hi ladies! Excited and nervous to join but happy to have a place to discuss with someone other than H!

1) What's your EDD? EDD is 10/6 per my calculation. I've had two betas done and they doubled appropriately but go for another check with my RE on Tuesday. If all looks good, he'll schedule an early ultrasound due to my history of loss.

2) Do you have other children? No other living children. *TW* I had MC in Feb 16 and CPs in Oct and Dec 16. Hoping this one sticks!

3) Where are you from? Indiana

4) How old are you and SO? I'm 30, H is 32.

SwtAnana · January 2017

@LouiseStar hey here! I'm also a physician...what's your specialty??
