Hello ladies, I'm a second time mom. DS is 9 months and I have 3 step kids ranging in age from 15 to 9. I'm so happy, but cautious too as I had a MC May of 2015. I am trying to stay calm and hopeful as I'm in Texas and unable to see my OB until the end of the week to check my levels and do an US to see the little one. I believe my EDD is January 5th. We shall see?! Happy to be here with all of you and can't wait to see our bellies grow!
Hi guys! I'm almost 36, I'll be a 3rd time mom. I have 7 and 5 yr olds, both DS, so I haven't been PG in about 6 yrs! I'm nervous, way more than previous times... mostly due to my age, lessening ovulation due to mild PCOS, and just the fact that I'm so thrilled and happy that this happened for us. Trying since Oct 2016, but only O'd 3x in that period, so this is a blessing. Estimated due date is 1/27 based on ovulation of 5/6 Or 5/7. Let's all have happy healthy preggo journeys!
Hi everyone! I'm Arlene, I'm a STM, I got my BFP 5/19 and according to my LMP my due date is 01/21. My daughter turns 2 on 01/22 so I'm really hoping to not ruin her birthday!
I have my first appt tomorrow with my GP and I'm really nervous because it's so early. Last pregnancy I went in at almost 8 weeks so I was able to see a heartbeat and it eased my mind but I'm only 5w1d and 8 weeks seems like ages from now!!
Hi all! My name is Laura. I'm a 29 year old student and I'll be a stm. My son was born Jan 16,2017 and is 4 months old, so it looks like I'll have a pair of Irish twins on my hands! I got my bfp at the end of April, so my due date is Jan 5th, 2018. I might end up with a scheduled c-section though. My ob brought it up because of the way my last pregnancy progressed. I'm excited to be here!
Edited for clarification since I kept falling asleep while writing this.
Hello all! I got my BFP today at 13dpo! EDD Jan 28th. I would be a STM. I have a 4 year old daughter. I had a MMC in December at 12weeks. It was devastating. I have never been so happy and terrified at the same time! I'm ready to begin this journey with you ladies, well...as ready as I will ever be.
Hi Friends! I just got my BFP on Friday evening. I am 42 years old and the Mama of 3 #GrossBoys ages 15,12, and 10. This was totally unplanned and totally unexpected..... but somehow I just know that if I lost this little bean, I'd be heartbroken. According to this app, my EDD is January 24. I am hoping to have a sticky little bean! I still can't believe that I am doing this again!!! And oh my word.....my boobies are so sore! I forgot about that part. Can you tell I am all over the place!???!?
@agalvarado there's a few of us J16 mamas here. I Nefertiti really participated here but did migrate to the Facebook group before DS2 was born (1/28). Welcome! And congrats!
DS1: Nov. 2013 DS2: Jan. 2016 DS3: Dec. 2017 Baby #4 on the way!
Hi! everyone! I'm Maryse and I am expecting my third child! I have two beautiful daughters, aged 4 and 13 months. Super excited to be expecting in the dead of winter in Northern Ontario, Canada More time for indoor nesting and cuddles! Cheers
Hi all! My name is Jessica and I am hoping to be a STM. Due date is January 30. I have twin girls who just turned 2. Loved Bump my first pregnancy, and glad to be here agin!
Hello! My name is Ibelise and I'm new to bump. We live in the Austin,TX area and are excited but nervous all at the same time. Year ago this month we found out we were pregnant but lost the baby shortly after making that my third miscarriage. Needles to say I feel like I'm a bit on pins and needles this time around but we are hoping for the best. I got my BFP on 5/19 after a year of trying. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Hi all! My name is Averee, I am 22 and live in Canada.
I got my BFP on Tuesday May 2nd! Took tests 3 days in a row and did a digital just to be sure. My EDD is January 12, 2018. I am a FTM and am so excited to be on this new journey! We tried for 4 months before we got our BFP.
I am looking forward to getting to know you all, I am new to groups like these but am excited to have you ladies to turn to!
Hi Everyone! Cautiously excited to join you here. We've been TTC since January 2016 and seeing a RE since this January. After one canceled IUI cycle, I'm pregnant after our first round of IVF. EDD is January 22nd, but currently going through late onset OHSS so look about 5 months pregnant already! I will hopefully be a STM (DD will be 3 at the end of May), I live in New England and am an Elementary teacher. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi! I got my BFP on Friday and I still feel like I'm in shock! I'm a SAHM. This will be my third baby. DD1 and DD2 are 6 and 4. I had given up on a third baby, so I'm pleasantly surprised! Happy and healthy pregnancies to everyone!

My name is Emily, I got a faint positive 05/22 and a darker one this morning 05/23, and my due date is Jan 29. I'm a STM, with a 16 month old son. With my first baby I was super overdue, and found myself floating into the next month's group quite often since I also had an end of month due date, so I'll probably be going back and forth between Jan and Feb! Really excited to be doing this all over again!!
ETA: I'm 27 in a couple weeks, and I live in Canada
Hello Ladies! I thought that I postef here a few days ago but maybe I didn't. Im 39 from Chicago and a ftm. I think Im starting to get a little excited about this. There is so much going on in my life Im not sure this is the best time, but is it ever? Anyway I have my first appointment on Friday so prayerful that goes well. I look forward to chatting with you all. Blessings!
Hello everyone! Thought I would finally add my introduction! I'm 5 weeks & 3 days with baby #2 due on Jan. 21st! My daughter is a few months away from two and I'm excited for her to be a big sister! But... with family not being so supportive I feel on edge most of the time so trying to relax has been my number one thing!
Hello everyone! I am coming over from TTGP and so glad there are a few of you over here as well! I got my BFP on 5/22 and have an EDD of 1/31. This will be be baby number 2, I was part of the March '15 board with my DS.
Also, wanted to say a huge thank you all the TTGPers that have help me so much over the past few months.

Hi everyone! I'm a pharmacist from Wisconsin and I'm pregnant with baby #2! We're due January 14th and I'm filled with so many emotions. Our first baby, Nolan, was born with anencephaly in February and passed in our arms a couple hours after he was born. We cherished every moment that we had with him and he took a piece of our hearts with him that day. I'm excited, nervous, and terrified all at the same time with this pregnancy. Praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby!
Hi there! I'm Sarah. 34 year old STM. My first turns 8 next month so it's been so long that this feels brand new to me. It's a super stressful time for us. We're renovating our home, getting married in July and we just added a baby to the mix. We're super excited and terrified at the same time. I had high BP and GD with the first so I'm excited that im much healthier going into this one. So far not too many symptoms other than being super emotional. I never cry and I cried twice this week over dumb stuff. I'm also a police officer so I have to keep things quiet with work until I'm ready to start a light duty assignment in 4 more weeks.
@agalvarado My DD will be 2 on 1/22/18 too! And my first estimated due date for this one was 1/17, but the doctor thinks I'm further behind, so my due date will probably end up close to 1/22 as well. Ahhh I hope they can each have their special day, but if not, oh well. We'll find a way to make it awesome.
Hi everyone. My name is Mary Cecilia (or MC for short, both are my first name-- I know, it's confusing) and I have been lurking a bit or the last two or three weeks but only because I couldn't figure out how to reply to this thread. There's a kink in the app on my phone I think.
Anyway, I am 27 and my husband and I married April 2016. We are due January 13th and this is our first pregnancy. We are extremely excited and had been trying since November. We just relocated from the Bay Area to Sacramento in February and just got a new pug puppy in April (already had one- 6 1/2 year old Golden). We relocated because I got a new job as a probation officer and so there have been a lot of adjustments the last few months and I know more to come.
My family is having some tough times this year which began in January with my sister's health declining and peaked in April when she was put on Hospice. This baby has been a bright light for many people (will be 3rd grand baby on my mom's side, first for my dad, first for my husband's family). Though risky, we have told a few people pretty early and plan to tell more close family in the next week. We live in California but most of my family are in KY and FL and we see them so infrequently that we are kind of clinging to the few times we will be able to deliver the news in person even though I have read everywhere how unwise it is to do so this early.
We have had a phone appt but our first in person appt is June 6th which will be week 8 for us. I think we will get to hear the heartbeat which is SO exciting. I have been blessed not to have too many symptoms, beside an unsettled feeling in my tummy but I wouldn't exactly call it nausea. I have stocked up on some sea bands just in case, though. It's been so great to read everyone's intros and I can't wait to get to know all of you more as the months go on. My husband's parents live locally for us but I anticipate it will be a challenge for me to experience all of this so far from my mother and sister who I am very close to. Just taking it as it comes and praying for healthy development. Nice to meet all of you and can't wait to ride this journey together.
Hi all, FTM here, 26 yrs old. Got BFP on May 7, after BFN few days earlier. EDD Jan 9 acc to LMP. DH and I cautiously very excited I keep wondering if I'm really PG because most of my symptoms could also be attributed to other things, but I've never been this late, and combined they definitely add up to PG! (Also, I never knew about some of these symptoms, everyone just talks about the nausea - cramps? sore breasts?? That was definitely unexpected!) 1st apt June 8, if we get to see a heartbeat it will definitely become much more real! Can't wait! I've been loving the bump app, telling me how big baby is And meanwhile making sure to limit exposure to anything that can harm LO - I'm a scientist IRL, so I've been double checking all chemicals and necessary protection before I work with them.
I saw there are several bookworms here, I am too - I love fantasy and scifi especially.
Hi! I'm Jen, a Veterinarian in South Carolina. I'm 30 years old, and a FTM. My husband and I are so excited to meet this baby! We'd been TTC for almost 6 months, and I was using the Ovia app to track my fertility, so I'm new to the Bump. I ovulated 5/6 and got my BFP on 5/19! This is my first pregnancy ever. My EDD is January 27th based on my ovulation (which was on CD 30), which makes me 4 weeks and 4 days. My first appointment isn't until June 12 and I'm just dying of anticipation! It's so nice to have a community of people all in the same shoes!
@gusgus14 I'm in the Lexington area - in the midlands near Lake Murray - what part of the upstate are you in? I went to college at Winthrop in Rock Hill!

Excited for you! Praying you have a great pregnancy!
I just got my BFP today and my EDD is January 31st. I may hang out in Feb 18 as well when it opens up as I was a week late with my son!
This will be our fourth. We have an adopted 7year old, and 6 year old, and a bio 4 year old. We had a MC in March of 2016 and makes me nervous but I know it is nothing compared to what a lot of you have gone through on here!
I'm a SAH and homeschool mom in WA state and look forward to getting to know all of you! I still can hardly believe this is real!!
Hi Everyone ! My name is Marsha and I am 33 and from outside of Philadelphia. I am a FTM and got my BFP about a week ago. I am so excited and the hardest thing right now is not telling anyone. EDD 1/30.
Hi! Congratulations to all! I'm Caila, almost 31 and my DH and I have been trying to conceive for 2 years. 5 IUI and 1 failed IVF cycle. Got my very first BFP May 20th. I am still in disbelief and extremely scared. Surprisingly we conceived naturally so I know this is truely a miracle baby! My EDD is January 27th
Hi all! Leigh Ann here. I got my BFP on May 17 with HPT! EDD Jan 24 based on LM. FTM, and so excited! Our first Midwife appointment is on June 8 and we'll get the final confirmation!
Hi ladies! I'm popping in to say hello. I'm pregnant with a surprise #3. I have two boys ages 3 and 5. I was active on TB a looooong time ago on TTGP and am still close with my BMB for my oldest son. I'm not sure how much I'll be around with two crazy boys and a full time job, but wanted to say hi! Due date is Jan 3, though both of my boys were born early. I'm kind of hoping for a NYE baby
Re: Introductions!
