Hello all!!! My name is Dahlian. I am also apart of the February moms board, because I was told at my appointment to confirm my pregnancy that my EDD is 02/28/2018. I went to the ER with severe pain at 6wks4dys and was told that my EDD is 03/01/2018, not far off at all. I have been here for a while, but I am trying not to be too excited about my current pregnancy. So I don't post much of anything. I am a mom of a 3 angel babies. I lost my almost one-year-old daughter last July after a horrible fight with brain damage. Her 2nd birthday was the 16th of this month, and it is very difficult. Anyway, I wish you guys all the best as you look forward to your babies. I have an appointment on Monday for my 9wks4dys ultrasound.
Hi everyone! My name is Melissa, I am 28 and have been married for 7 years. We've finally decided to start a family, and I am approx 5weeks with an unconfirmed due date of March 29th.
I'm in nursing school & have been taught all the horrific things that can go wrong, so I'm super nervous and paranoid, but I'm praying for a healthy baby.
My first appt. is on the 7th, and im hoping for the best!

I am so very sorry for your losses. I can't even imagine This board seems to a good PGAL group. Maybe you can find some comfort there.
Hey everyone!!! Congratulations to all of the Bfps!! Whether you've being trying for years, a few months, or you were blessed with a surprise (like myself) I wish nothing but the best positive pregnancy journey to everyone. I found out that I was expecting on July 18, 2017 and due March 28, 2018. I'm a first time mom and believe it or not these past few weeks have already taking me on an emotional rollercoaster. So far my symptoms have been pretty consistent and they seem to be similar to pms symptoms but on STEROIDS!! After the initial bfp shock, I'm happy to be apart of this community and I can't wait to learn and grow with all of you. Speaking of learning OMG the prenatal vitamin/supplement research that I have been doing is opening my eyes to so much! Im glad this pregnancy has motivated me to change my diet choices to ensure that I bring a healthy baby into this world. Congrats again and good luck to everyone!
Hey!! My name is Valerie and I'm a teacher at a Christian Academy in NC. Me and my husband are excited to have a third bundle of joy into our household! We have an almost 4 year old boy and an almost 2 year old baby girl! We also have an angel baby waiting for you as well. My husband is older that I am and I think he thought we were done so he was nervous at first. Our due date is 3/24/17.
Hello! My name is Lyndsay, I will be 7 weeks tomorrow with baby #1! EDD of 03/19. Very, very excited (and very, very sick and tired ). I teach biology and zoology at a K-12 school and I'm desperately hoping my MS goes away before we start school up again in a few weeks. I also can't figure out how to change my username, it didn't have any advice on the board organization thread? help? Edit: it's been figured out, yay!

@Missyisanemt You are a champ for going through nursing school pregnant! I have been an adult medsurg nurse since nursing school and am transferring to the NICU next month so reading about all the things I will be seeing in there is definitely doing wonders from my nerves.
Hope everything goes well for you at your first appointment next week!! I have enjoyed having some background knowledge on the medical side of everything since this is my first pregnancy also!
Hi I'm L, I was surprised to find LO#3 is coming at the end of March as it was totally unexpected. I feel like I'm starting from scratch as I recently got rid of all the baby stuff and feel so removed from pregnancy and the newborn stage as I thought I was finished having kids after #2! I look forward to getting to know you all!!
Best of luck with nursing school! It is rough - I was a nurse for many years and was working med surg through my first two pregancies.. take care of yourself! It can be very demanding
Hello! I've been lurking with my bucket of popcorn for a couple of weeks and I'm starting to feel a little dirty that I haven't introduced myself. I'm 40 years old and this is my third pregnancy and second child. My DS is 18 months and I was an active lurker/love titter in Jan16. I won't have a dating scan for another couple of weeks but I'm likely due around March 22nd. I have a feeling this is going to be a memorable BMB so I hope I get to stick around!
3nd pregnancy here - I'm 33 and my first has her angel wings, and DD is 2 years old. I work full time in a demanding job and am suffering severe hyperemesis gravidarum. Hoping to meet some HG mamas in this group. Due mid march.
Hello everyone! I'm only just barely a fellow March-mom with an EDD of March 31. This is my first pregnancy and I am simultaneously excited and nervous about what all is to come! I am in my second year of a three year grad program and am surrounded by an incredibly supportive community that is going to make being a mom and a student possible. I live with my husband, a fluffy cat, and a cuddly dog, all of whom are excited about the addition on the way!
Hi there - Amy here. I'm a STM with a 21-month-old DD. I also have a 19-year-old stepson. My unconfirmed EDD is March 29, 2018, and I'll know more at my first appt Aug 21. It took us 2 years to get pregnant with DD, and this time around only 2 months of really trying. Getting back into the BMB mode after totally lurking on the Oct15 board!!
I work full-time in marketing for a technology company and my husband stays home with our DD and pug fur baby. Last pregnancy I suffered from high blood pressure bc of my job, so already working to keep all that in check. Looking forward to being here with you all!!
My name is De, I'm 34 and due with our 3rd. My two boys are 7 and 10. Bit unexpected and a bit of a surprise, but we're ready to roll with it. I swear at this point I was yaking up my guts with both boys, but I've had very little nausea so far (just a bit of a yucky tummy here and there). I found out on Saturday after I finally pieced together all my symptoms and took a test - told hubby and he said he already knew, lol. I said he should have told me! I've been whining about being extra tired for weeks now. First appointment is in 3 weeks! :-) We're keeping quiet about it and haven't even told the kids yet. Will probably spill the beans after the appointment or within the following week or so.
Edit - because I can't count properly

Hey all! I found out I was pregnant with our 5th and last at 3wks. My due date is March 22nd and I'm anxiously waiting for that first Dr. Appointment. I have four boys, 21months, 7, 9, and 11. My life is awesome, but always busy!! I'm hoping these preg months will fly by. I Can't wait to meet my sweet little!!
Hi Everyone! I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to post after our dating ultrasound this morning. I am 31 and expecting our second baby on 3/9/18. DD is 14 months. I previously lurked on June 16 (DD came a couple of weeks early), but am hoping to be more active this time around. This pregnancy was planned, but we were debating up until the last minute whether we wanted to space our kids 2 or 3 years apart. Because I work in the school system, I have tried, and fortunately have been successful, in planning both pregnancies to coincide with summer break to make for a longer maternity leave. I really enjoyed having 6 months off with DD and am hoping for the same this time around. Like so many of you, I'm also very nervous about the whole two under two thing! Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Hi ladies, I just wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself. A few weeks ago, much to our surprise, we found out we are expecting #3. I was a little in disbelief and worried but after my first doctor appointment today, I feel a little better after seeing the LO on U/S and a healthy heartbeat. We have a 6 yo DD, a 2 yo DS, and the last one will joining us around 3/5/18.
I was part of a BMB back in 2010 and was eventually moved over to FB, in which I'm still part of today. With my son I was working full time as a teacher and did not participate but look forward to participating again as I am now SAH.
Hi all! Wow, where to begin? First, this is my husband's and my first. It came as a bit of a shock, because we weren't really trying, but we weren't necessarily taking excessive precautions either! Honestly, we've been drilling it into family, friends, and coworkers that we were planning to wait a couple years. Guess those years really flew by! Anyways, I've always been a Nervous Nelly right before my period, because I have never really tracked it before. HOWEVER back in May, I started bullet journaling, as well as tracking my period. When June rolled around and I was actually late, I took a test (not my first time taking a test - again, Nervous Nelly), and got my BFP!!! Can you say, shocked? We were. DH was very excited, I was almost in disbelief, ha! Here I am, and I'm excited to share this journey with you all. 7 weeks 2 days ~Jean
Hi, I don't know why introducing myself makes me so nervous even on the internet! I am due on March 4th and could not be happier about it. TW***(loss mentioned)
I joined the Bump in march of 2016 the first time I was pregnant, but it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy and we lost it a week and a half after the first positive test. it was harder than I could have imagined even that early.***
I spent some time lurking in TTC, and in that November due date group where everyone had been so kind. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for about 2 and a half years now. I decided over the winter that I needed a break from obsessing every cycle, I have endometriosis and very irregular cycles, I was just getting so down during super long cycles with no ovulation and getting my hopes up way too high when I did ovulate. I was diagnosed as hypothyroid in February, started meds, started working out and eating better and stopped tracking everything, and just tried to have a glass of wine and have sex with my husband as frequently as possible but without beating myself up if we fell asleep on the couch instead. I always hated it when people told me to do this, I loved my detailed FF charts, but whatever they can gloat if they want too, lol. I will be 35 in October and my husband is 49, we are so readying so very hopeful that this is it. We own a hair salon together and have a very beloved rescue pit bull named Albert who I believe will be pleased to be dressed in goofy outfits a bit less frequently once we have a little person to dress up and laugh at.
Hi! Excited to be here! FTM, just had our first ultrasound and confirmed a growing bean aged 6 weeks, 2 days. Due Date March 27, 2018! I'm Susannah, age 30 and living in LA with the hubs. Wishing everyone happy and healthy pregnancies! Go team March!
I realized I still needed to post here! I have a 21 month old and am due with baby number 2 March 8. I will hit the big 30 before baby #2 and I am not at all excited about that! Wishing you all the best!
Hi everyone! I'm new here. My name is Jennifer and I'm a FTM. I recently turned 30, and a few weeks after that we found out we were expecting! What a surprise! Due March 11, 3 days before my hubby's birthday. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing in a wealth of pregnancy and baby knowledge! Congrats and best wishes to all!
Hey ladies! I'm pregnant with #3 (DD is 5 and DS is 3). Unconfirmed EDD of March 30 and I run overdue (4 days and 7 days) so I may end up in April. I'm 32 and DH and I had been debating if we wanted one more, and thought maybe we'd start trying this fall. Guess God took our theoretical plans as a green light, so I ended up with a BFP right in the middle of buying a house and starting our DD in kindergarten and a million other big transitions. Looking forward to being done with the I-could-puke-at-any-second phase. I just keep telling myself this could be our last, so I need to savor it. Congrats to all of you!!
I'm brand new on here so wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 44 year young British expat living in South Africa. DH is 46.
My first born is a beautiful male staffy, and my second is a much loved and much prayed for 2 and a half year old DS. We tried naturally for years, and at the ripe old age of 40 decided to give IVF a go. Our first pregnancy ended in miscarriage but our second stuck! Had an anterior placenta though and never felt any movement - which left me a nervous wreck my whole pregnancy.
This is now our third IVF attempt and I'm 7 weeks pregnant. Saw the heartbeat last week and shed a few tears of absolute joy! Hoping I get to feel my baby move this time....
I haven't been on here in quite some time. I am a 39 year old mother of a 7 1/2 year old boy. This pregnancy was quite a surprise as we gave up a lot time ago! We went through secondary fertility issues and after a few years of treatments threw in the towel. I did have a m/c a few years back at 6 1/2 weeks. Cautiously optimistic about this one. I am a little over 9 weeks pregnant with a due date of 3/11/18. Welcome to you all!
Hello all! I'm thrilled to be here after 2.5 years of trying. I have a just turned three year old and was super active on the July '14 BMB. My tentative due date is 3/25 but my dating US is next week! Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hello all! So I'm posting a lot later than most of you but that's because (for some reason) my OB's office doesn't like to even see you for the pregnancy confirmation test until you're 8-10 weeks along-seems kinda late too me anybody else have that too? Anyway I'm a 31yr old mom of 2, 5.5 yo DD and 2yo DS. This baby was a surprise to DH and I as we weren't trying and had never really had a big discussion on if we wanted to have a 3rd or not, we had kicked the idea around but put it on the back burner for later discussion. Obviously our plans drastically changed! My EDD is 3/16 but my OB wants me to get a 1st trimester US because I told him my last period came earlier than normal so he wants to verify the date. I'm also considered high-risk because I have an auto-immune disease so I have to go see the MFS and my dr said I'm going to be closely watched and be at the office a lot! Still waiting for everything to fully sink in (I just had my apt this morning) like where we're going to put our 3rd child in a 3 bedroom house?
Been on the Bump for 3 years, the June 2015 BMB definitely helped me get through the second pregnancy!
Hello! I just had my second u/s today, so I guess it's time to intro instead of lurk. I'm 34 and my husband and I have a sassy 2.5 year old little girl who rocks my world. We've had a rough go in the staying pregnant department with 4 early losses, but this little nugget looks perfect on u/s so I am cautiously optimistic. I thought my due date was March 4 (I chart so I am pretty darn sure about ovulation date) but 2 u/s techs say my due date is March 1 - so we'll go with March 1 since babies come whenever they want to anyway.
TW - FTM after 2 MC. I'm 40, and was sent to a specialist. He said it was probably just bad luck but put me on progesterone. While we were traveling in Europe (DH is from Italy, we live in USA) I missed my period. Of course! So, called dr. as soon as we returned. Got an ultrasound yesterday and saw healthy development and heard a heartbeat! Last two times - no yolk sac even at 7+ weeks, so this is great news for us. So, I'm joining a little latter than many of you, because it was too painful to have to leave the boards last time.
But anyway! LMP was June 18 which puts me at 7+3, but age by measurement is 6+4. (which makes sense because my cycles were 32 days, so I ovulate 4 days later than average.) Long story short - I'm due sometime in the second half of March. By gestational age it could be as late as 3/31.
Even though I'm "at-risk" because of my age, I'm going for as natural a pregnancy and delivery as possible. Looking forward to discussing that with you all as well.
