The board is dead and there has been some new names around here. Lets liven it up! If you are a lurker, have a new sn, etc. re-introduce yourself here. Then please read the guidelines sticky and participate. In general please remember that support is given more freely to those that offer it. Also, please dont use this thread to ask about FB. We just want to get to know you. Welcome!
Re: Calling all lurkers and newbies
Due Date: June 12 with my second DD
My DD will be 2.5 when this one arrives, I'm a teacher at the high school level and really over this school year! I became a lurker because I got bogged down with finishing my Masters Program and only had access to the bump on my work computer due to the app not working well on my phone.
Overall this pregnancy has been mostly easy nothing out of the ordinary, just normal pregnancy woes.
I can't think of anything else to add at the moment, but will add if others make me think of something I should have included.
Moving on... Stay at home Mom to 3 kids (15, 11, 2) with #4 due 6/15. I have my scheduled induction 6/16. Lots of appointments and growth scans. High risk due to AMA and heart condition. I start my weekly appointments with non stress tests the week of May 22nd. Pregnancy has gone pretty well thus far. Trying to bring my iron levels up because they were 2 points below the normal low. Dealing with medication related side effects.
But here I am. I'll go ahead and reintroduce myself. Mom of 2 boys, with baby boy #3 due June 24. We've got a repeat c-section scheduled for June 19th. My screen name mentions NC but we moved to Michigan a while back.
Anyway, I'll reintroduce myself. This is my second boy, due June 29th. My first decided that he was in no rush to leave his happy little home and I was induced 2 weeks after my due date, so I'm hoping the rumor that the second one comes a little earlier is true in my case!
@maybaby23 that feels so soon!
I can't believe we're going to start having so many more babies so soon!
I'm excited to re-introduce myself, I have been wanting to start participating but always felt weird the longer I left it. I participated frequently in the first 12 weeks but I was so hesitant to get to know everyone because of my history of misscarriages, the amount of times I would get to know people and then have to leave would be really disappointing.
So here I go;
I'm a first time mum (not counting my 4 angel babies), 23 years old, married for 3 years (together for 7), live in Australia, currently 35 weeks, due the 18th June and I'm high risk but have had a really easy pregnancy thankfully!
I've been lurking on and off and all you ladies seem so lovely and funny
Looking forward to participating again and no longer being a lurker!

TB just doesn't work well on our iPad. Not really sure why. I comment and leave suggestions or advice when asked in areas I feel I can help the most in but I was still told I was a lurker so...oh well.

I'm 30 years old, married my soulmate in October of 2015, and I'm a work at home mom.
I have an 8 year old boy that will be 9 in the end of July. He is from a previous relationship.
My now husband and I suffered a silent miscarriage at 9 weeks in May of last year and it really devastated us for a while and made TTC more stressful. I thought we'd never get pregnant again but on the 5th try we got our rainbow. It's another boy and we are due on June 19th.
Live in canada, 25yrs old.
Im married to an amazing hardworking husband we have a almost 3 year old(july) little girl. We are due june 16th with our second little girl. Our first daughter is the first girl born in over 5 generations on my husbands side and this will be the second. They are surronded by boy cousins on both sides of our family.
On september 7th,2016 we had a miscarriage, everything happened naturally and we ended up getting pregnant again right away with our rainbow baby now.
We are both a little nerdy our oldest daughters named is Kara Adeline, kara comes from supergirl Adeline is my great great aunts name who passed away.
This little girl will be named Luna Raven. Luna is yes coming from harry potter but hubby said we still needed a superhero name in there to stick with that theme so i found Raven from xmen and loved it together with Luna and just so happens luna was a ravenclaw lol.
if not, welcome.
I'm turning 38 in a few weeks and had 2 losses-10 and 13 weeks and have spent a lot of time on TTCAL and another private group. I've actually had a lot of non-pregnancy related health issues since September. I have some autoimmune like symptoms and I just tested positive for Lyme disease. I'm hoping that the symptoms subside soon becaue being sick with a newborn sounds like no fun. Right now taking it day by day, but I might need to start maternity leave early becaue my symptoms are getting worse.
I hope your mom, sister, and BIL are all doing ok.
I was fairly active during first and part of second tri, but started to get very anxious with this pregnancy - which was actually very odd for me. I know this sounds weird but I needed to try to distract myself from the pregnancy to reduce stress. I've lurked a little since I left (really just the announcements thread as I didn't want to miss out on those that I felt like I got to know and all the positives!!).
So I'm in the home stretch, 36w6d today, scheduled RCS for 6/8. Baby boy measured in at 8lb1oz at my scan last Friday at 36w2d, so I'm 'labeled' excessive fetal growth affecting management of mother... last thing I need when I've been anxious this whole pregnancy but the good thing is they've double checked me for GD (don't have it) and I haven't had excessive weight gain myself, which are the 2 primary reasons for this to occur... thinking at this point it just has to be genetics - my twins were over 7lbs. each so from my POV a ~ 9lb.+ singleton wouldn't be odd.
I know the board is slow these days, but wishing all you ladies a safe delivery and healthy babies!!
I was pretty active at the start of my pregnancy..with a Zika scare and concerns etc.
Then my work-life balance spun out of control and I'm afraid i haven't been active in a few months...just lurking...
I promised myself I would be more active because I was originally in the Feb 15 group then missed out on the FB group there...but anyway so be it!
Maybe us lurkers can all bond in some way.
So i have a toddler (born in Feb 15) and now expecting this one in a few weeks...
Planned C-Section this time...as it's too high risk to try for a VBAC in my case.
Would love to stay in touch with some other unorganised mummas out there xo
