    Cautiously optimistically joining the group!  I haven't been on the Bump in YEARS!  Surprise, pregnant with our third babe.

    BFP: 5/17/17
    Due Date: 1/29/18

    Third time mom; DS is almost 8 and DD is 6.  I became pregnant in December 2013, but miscarried at 6w2d. I'm scared shitless, but really excited too!

    @minimuse18 I know the feeling! I'm still having some difficulties following the lingo.

    If you head to the organization thread (the one that says: READ THIS FIRST) there is a handy list on what all the abbreviations mean.

    @nicolasaur welcome and congrats! If you check out the "Read this First!" organization thread, you'll find a link to what most of the abbreviations stand for. :)

    Hi Everyone! 

    I'm a FTM and we got our BFP on May 7. EDD is January 17. Had two ultrasounds so far and heard a strong heart beat on Tuesday. Excited for this journey!

    @babybakie welcome and congrats!  LMP is notoriously unreliable, most people don't have perfect 28 day cycles with ovulation on exactly day 14, which is what LMP assumes.  So if your Dr. isn't worried, and especially since you've seen the heartbeat (yay!), I think you probably just ovulated later than a LMP would assume.  Did your Dr. change your due date or is s/he still using your LMP?  Early ultrasounds are very reliable for dating, so due dates often can change (my due date has been changed with all three pregnancies b/c I have longer cycles).

    @KatieEl ! Congrats to you too! I have seen some of your other posts, you are a wonderful contributor to the group! Thank you. You really made me feel better! They gave me the EDD of 01/24/18 based on size at my last US appointment, my prior appointment they didn't see a fetal pole yet. My cycles run 26 days, and I did get a BFP on the first day of my LMP so I really thought I was on point with my EDD of 01/15. You are probably right I shouldn't worry.  Its so hard. I  have always dreamed of being a mommy! 

    I just want to add I love reading all these great stories and insights. I am still getting the hang of posting and stuff, but I am really excited to have found this place and to be a part of it! I wish every one here a very happy healthy beautiful pregnancy!!

    Hello! 

    I have never been on this forum before so please be nice to me. :) I'm 34  years old, and a FTM, we tried for 3 full years before we were referred to a fertility specialist, and then somehow we magically conceived naturally the cycle before we were due to start Clomid! I'm going to have a high risk pregnancy, because I have some medical problems in my history, so I'm pretty nervous. About everything.

    I had my dating scan on the 7th, and we had a beautiful picture with a strong heartbeat and little doubt that we are due 1/22/18! Which makes me 8 weeks today!

    *Also, I am auntie to 6! Two little girls and 4 not-so-little boys.

    Hi Everbody! I am happy to have found you all! The other forums I was watching did not feel like a great fit for me. 

    A bit about me... I am a FTM, currently 29 will be 30 when baby arrives. I recently married my now husband in, September of 2016. We decided to start trying and poof it happened. I am thankful it was fast but a bit shocked! I do have prolactimia but it was under control so it didn't slow anything down. 

    We saw our healthy little baby on an ultra sound at 8 weeks 4 days and it had a strong healthy heartbeat of 190. I am currently 10 weeks 6 days and this human is "expected" to show up on January 11th, 2018. 

    I am Canadian, I work with children, I have a dog (with anxiety), 2 guinea pigs,  I like to swim, do yoga and cook yummy food. 

    Looking forward to going through this journey with you!

    Hi there!

    I''m 8 weeks pregnant today and found out on Saturday at my first ultrasound that we're having identical twins.

    Due 25 Jan, but as they're twins they'll probably come earlier.

    Still gettting over the shock of two for one, and everything that will impact, but very happy to be finally pregnant. Obviously was wishing for a baby so hard I got two.

    Would love to hear from other mums of multiples for advice as I don't know any.

    Hello all! My name is Khrystyn and I'm due with my third baby, Originally due January 02 2018 but has changed to December 28th 2017.  My oldest is a Jan baby and I was apart of an amazing bump group that I'm still so very close with today, I hope that all of you will be this way too!! I also have a 9 month old who is still breast fed (yes, my children will be very close together). I'm excited to get to know you ladies!!!

    Hi, all! I am a 27 y.o. STM. I have been lurking since I got my BFP on May 30, but wanted to see the babe before posting anything (especially because I was not expecting or planning this pregnancy at all). My EDD is January 20. I was a lurker on N14 (until the mass exodus), but was too shy to ever post. I want to be more involved in this board and look forward to the journey with you all!

    I'm late to the game it appears... but glad to be here! I'm 37 and will be 38 by my EDD of 1/6/18. Considered high risk due to AMA and various autoimmune disorders... but u/s so far have shown a healthy bean with a strong heartbeat, so I'm staying positive! This will be number 3 for us, and we're a little out of practice seeing as though our other 2 are school aged (DS is 8 and DD is 6). I didn't do the boards with either of them so I'm really excited to interact with and get to know this lovely group of ladies!

    Hi everyone! I realized I haven't formally introduced myself, so here it goes!

    I'm Arlene, I'm 28 and a stay home mom. I'm originally from California but living in GA until my husband finishes his master's in nursing. I have one daughter, she's 16 months old and we got our BFP May 18 and our EDD is Feb. 1. Since I might get a repeat c-section, baby will come sometime January so I'm staying here if you don't mind  :)

    I was part of Feb '16 and as a FTM, that group of women helped me get through my first pregnancy in SO MANY WAYS. I look forward to sharing the next several months with you ladies  <3

    Hi all!

    FTM here. I am from East TN, my due date is January 11th, and I am 10 weeks and 2 days! ;). I finally decided to join this group because I just need to read and be a part of the community. The last month has been SUPER hard on me, and I know that being a part of this journey with all of you can be a huge positive! :)

    Our situations are very similar! I'm 37 (38 in Sept) and have a 6 and almost 8 year old. Congrats on your 3rd- us "old ladies" are going to rock these pregnancies. How are you feeling?
