Hi, I am a mom and a BA student at the
University of Amsterdam doing an anonymous, non-commercial linguistic study on
maternal language. May I share my academic link with your community? The guidelines
say no surveys with monetary gain but this is purely academic research questionnaire
with no monetary gain is that ok? Thanks 😊

Re: Introductions
So i'm a first timer too, we found out on Jan 14th and am now about 8 weeks along. coming friday I have my first check up. So far feeling great and we're very happy and looking forward to meeting our little one around the 21st of september.
Nice to see all your posts and thankfully not the only one with a billion questions
Xx from the Netherlands
I look forward to talking to you all
I've been around the knot/nest/bump since before my wedding 10 years ago, but I started a new account
I am due with my third around the 19th! I am glad this board is active!
I've been wary about introducing myself because we've dealt with a loss in the past and I didn't want to jump on board too early. But now I'm too excited to get to know all of you, so I'm taking a chance and diving in.
It's so nice to see some familiar names on this board! I'm a STM from September 2015, but I've updated my username (prev. SunSilverfox). We have such a great group of kind, supportive moms in Sept 2015 and many are still in touch, so I'm hoping to have the same luck with Sept 2017!
In the past, I wasn't one to comment all that frequently, but I do read a ton of the posts on here. I'll try to be a bit more vocal this time around. The STMs in Sept 2015 saved my skin so many times, and I hope to pass on the favor.
My husband, our little boy, and I live in the Czech Republic. Hubs is Czech, I'm American, and the little man is both.
One more thing you should know. I write the longest posts/comments ever. I'll try to keep them as short and sweet as I can.
Alright, let's do this, mamas!

Losses:
#1: 8wks MMC 4/16
#2: 13+4 T21 + Hydrops 3/17
I'm a FTM due on 9/1. I just had my first OB appointment this past Thursday at almost 11 weeks and everything seems to be looking good so far. We were so excited to hear a strong heartbeat!
Also welcome @Rhubarb7216 a good check in for you might be the FTM check in! Lots of good peeps and good info there!
J (B) - 1/26/07 | L (G) 5/23/08 | F (B) 3/14/10 | E (G) 12/5/12 | A (G) 7/17/15 | #6 AND #7 (!) due 9/15/17
This one is due 9/20 according to the internet. My first appt is not until I'm nearly 11 weeks, so it feels like eternity. Best wishes for us all and I'm looking forward to getting know you fine people.
edited to say my cycles WERE crazy but obviously I'm pregnant now lol
Finally beginning to post. FTM here and I am 8w1d so far. Our baby is due 9/30 (just squeezing into september), but I historically ovulate late in my cycle sooo I'm not sure if we will get bumped to October the farther along we get! My husband and I are so excited, but I am terrified almost all of the time!!!
TW: Unfortunately at the 7 wk 6 day ultrasound, we saw that we had lost Baby B, who had probably stopped developing shortly after the previous ultrasound. It was heartbreaking, and has been part of the reason I've held off on doing this "introduction" post. End TW.
So, now we have Baby A, who's been growing like a champ with a really strong heartbeat. I have another ultrasound tomorrow and am hoping and praying like crazy for good news.
I'm a FTM w/ EDD 9/15. It was 9/8, but after my 2nd appointment, it got moved out. I got my BFP on New Years Eve...THAT was an interesting night. Haha! Anyway, I can't wait to get to know you ladies...September sisters!
My EDD is 9-10-2017, which is extra special since it is a date where my heart was broken when my cousin, USMC was killed in Iraq, I was very close to him all my life so it was very emotional to hear that date but it must be a blessing!
I live in extreme South NJ at the Jersey Shore, not the TV one, lol the better one, haha like Cape May and Ocean City! I am 36, 37 at end of this month so it was now or never to start the baby making!
My first baby, previously only fur babies!
Excited and nervous but totally clueless, lol I may change my user name to that!
This will be my third child and due September 1st. I've been lurking but hesitant to intro with my miscarriage history. I'm 35 and will deliver at 36; so old balls. I have one 4 year old daughter at home and a son that has passed.
