Hi everyone! I'm sort of new to The Bump...was a bit of a lurker during my first pregnancy before miscarrying. I'm hopeful this pregnancy will go well and hope to get to know you all the next nine months! After trying for about eight months, I got my BFP on 8/24 after peeing on literally all the sticks I had! I think based on when I should've ovulated my EDD would be around May 6th! First appointment is at the end of September, so we'll find out more then - I wish you all healthy and happy pregnancies!
@charlestonchew im an investigator So we average about 10-15 hours of overtime a week due to high turn over. Im already exhausted not looking forward to the long hours over the next few weeks. I did luck out as i was recently promoted and i no longer have on call hours.
@jbeckley120 interesting! I did that for 2 1/2 years and then switched over to working with kids in state care. I'm looking to switch back because I miss the high intensity job.
I'm a STM, former O15 groupie until about the time of migration to FB (no social media, le sigh). I think I saw one or two, hello! DD is almost 2 and EDD is May 6th. We are hopeful and excited. Stay at home mom and nap time has never looked so good!
I'm a mom to a 17 month old who I still breastfeed, so my period hasn't really come back yet, leaving me with uncertainty about a due date! I'm estimating I'm just a few weeks along though, so due towards the middle-end of May
Hi Ladies! Looks like I will be joining you I got a very faint BFP yesterday (10 DPO) that got darker today. My DH and I have been married for 12 years and I am a mom to 3 adorable boys. I am a kindergarten teacher and a Harry Potter lover. I was a regular on BOTB and I had just started posting the last few months on TTGP. My due date is May 19. I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Hi everyone! I'm Kelsey, 26, from MN. My husband and I have two sons Eli (4) and Miles (19 months). We ttc #3 (#8) for about a year. I stopped tracking for the last 3 months and so I believe I'm due 5/19. We are so excited. Wishing all of you ladies H&H pregnancies.
Hi all! Pregnant with my 2nd baby, due May 17, have a 14 month old baby girl who is my husband and my whole world! Wasn't really trying, have lots of emotions right now, excited, nervous. Welcome mommies!
Hi lovely ladies! I'm a TTM and just got my BFP on Tuesday. Currently my EDD is 5/5 but I think it's a bit off. I have two little girls- 6 and 8 years old. we weren't trying, but this is a very welcome surprise. My career is in marketing for financial advisors. Excited to get to know you all.
Hi all! I'm hoping to be a member here. Got a faint line the last two days. We had a miscarriage last month and didn't really expect to be here so soon. I have 2 boys, ages 4 and 2. I'm a third grade teacher and I just hope hope hope for a sticky baby! Laura
New to TB and this is my first pregnancy! My husband and I only started trying three months ago and I got my BFP on the 26th of August so we feel super lucky. Hopefully everything goes well.
I have a really irregular cycle so my LMP was the 10th of July but I don't it's accurate to count from then. I'm estimating I'm due on the 1st of May but that's a little guess work. Dying to go for my first appointment so I can get a more accurate reading. I live in Dublin, Ireland and I don't know what it's like where you're from but the hospital is quite slow at getting back to me. I think I'm just super anxious about everything because it's my first!
Hi everyone! I'm so happy to join this group! DH and I got our BFP last Tuesday after 2 years TTC. I have PCOS, so we have been working with a fertility clinic to get everything settled! We were finally successful using IUI. I'm a FTM, and equal parts excited and anxious :-) My estimated due date is May 7th!
My family currently consists of me, DH, and our 2 dogs (6 years old and 5 months!). We live in Florida and love exploring and paddle boarding with them. We're prepping for the big storm now, so keep us in your thoughts!!
I am level 10 excited. I have a 5 y/o daughter who just started kindergarten and so this is #2. I just found out so so I'm still kind of reeling! I have a lot of issues with heartburn and feeling nauseated because of it so ... we'll see how this combines with morning sickness. I remember being exhausted with DD and so far it shaping up the same. I went to bed at 8:45 twice this week. Livin' that old lady life. I just turned 35 so I'm not sure if I'm AMA or just on the cusp. We'll see what Kaiser wants to do. But anyway, I'm glad to be here!

Pregnant at 35 is AMA. Whatever. 35 isn't old. Stupid rules.
Hello lovely ladies! I'm 35 (yay for AMA) and am expecting my 5th baby. Our kids are 8, 5, 3 and 20 months. I'm a classical musician and children's choir director. I'm glad to see so many other teachers on here! Life just got super busy for our family with school starting. I'm hoping I can make it through the first trimester without too much vomiting and exhaustion! Looking forward to getting to know all of you, and I'm sending you positive thoughts!
Hi, everyone. I'm a FTM, fairly new to these forums and nervous to boot! My due date is 5/17 (the day after my dad's birthday!)
I work in communications for a global health nonprofit, love food/cooking, books and being outdoors, and I'm currently doing some grad work around sustainable agriculture.
Hey everyone got bfp on aug 17 I'm due April 28th but feel so behind in that group. Hope you don't mind me crashing here. I am a stm and have a ds who will be two in October.
Hey ladies! I am a FTM, a T1D (type 1 diabetic) and I got my BFP on August 25th. It looks like my due date is 5/3. I work as an international educator at a college in Oklahoma City. I have waited pretty long to decide to have a kid due to my pre existing diabetes, but it is well managed so I am hoping for a healthy pregnancy and baby. If there are any other T1D out there let me know!
Hi Ladies! I haven't officially recieved my due date yet, but it's around May 8. I'm a STM - with my first, my husband and I tried to get pregnant for almost 9 months, and natural fertility planning finally got us there! I decided to just use that method to prevent pregnancy as well, which worked for 2 years, and then we decided to try again last month and BAM! It's crazy what a difference it can make to understand your body/cycle! (Although I know for many women it still is a struggle even with understanding fertility, I just feel like it made a difference for me). I'm a counselor and an assistant professor of counseling and I love my job. I've already had one nosy student ask if I'm pregnant , which allowed me to explain what bloating is. She seemed to regret asking .... haha. I have a DS who is 2.5.
Hey everybody! I'm very excited to be here because my husband and I were told that there was very little chance of conception because of the scarring in my uterus. We are thrilled that our daughter will have a sibling ❤
My husband and I live on a naval base in WA. I teach special needs classes half the day at the junior high and sometimes fill in at the nurse's station. We're just getting started here, and I'm already worn out!
I have a few hobbies - I love the Seahawks, cooking, anything rainbow like Lisa Frank, reading, and I am a huuge geek! I can't wait for Aquaman and Black Panther to come out.
I've been on the Bump for a few years, but I took a break for a while when we got the supposed bad news. HA! Looking forward to getting to know you ladies
Hi ladies! I am so excited to be here! I am a third time mom, DD1 is 8 years old, DD2 is 3 years old, and I am due with baby number 3 on May 11th! I had a c-section with DD2 so this babe will probably be as well, though I have been looking up information on V-bacs, so we will see. I am 5 weeks along today, my first appointment is Oct. 5th. I was a member of the Nov 13 board (though I cannot remember my username or the email address I used then and I had to start a new account) I wasn't too active on that board, but i plan to be on this one
I found out I was pregnant on the morning of August 30th! That night I was having all the girls in my family over for tacos and margaritas (virgin for me). Which inspired my username, haha.
I look forward to to getting to know everyone! Heres to a healthy and happy 9 months to all of us!
Hi all! I got my BFP two days ago and my unofficial due date is 5/10. I'm a SAHM (with a tiny bit of WAHM thrown in) to a lovely 2.5 year old girl who just started preschool this week (2 mornings), so I need to enjoy my freedom while I have it! I lurked on here the last time around, but want to join this time. Nice to meet you all!
I got my BFP three days ago. I got my IUD removed Aug. 1 and never had a period, but based on my addiction to POAS and having bulk purchased dip sticks which made it possible to test pretty much every day since I *felt* pregnant, I am guestimating my due date to be somewhere around the second-third week of May.
This will be my second LO! I have not shared with DH yet bc last time I wanted to do something to surprise him but we got pregnant much quicker than I anticipated and I kinda freaked a little (weird bc I was so ready, but the BFP made everything so real all of the sudden!!). This time I def want to do something fun to tell him. I was very active on TB when I was pregnant with DD but fell off after she turned 1 (she's 3 now). Looking forward to this journey with you!
Hello!! I got my BFP today! My husband and I have been trying to conceive for over a year & a half now. This will be our first. Due date is May 19. I am excited to be a part of this group!
Hi! My name is Lauren. I am a RN although I mostly work as a nursing professor now. I have an almost 14 month old daughter (born July 2016 at 37+2 spontaneous labor and vaginal delivery). I have a unicornuate uterus so I am high risk... for miscarriage, spontaneous abortion, pre-term labor, intrauterine growth restriction... you name it! My RE helped me get pregnant both times (thankfully only u/s monitoring, hcg trigger shot, timed intercourse, and progesterone). I can only get pregnant on the right side since I do have a uterus on the left side. The ovary on my left side just releases eggs into the abyss! I will be followed closely by MFM again this pregnancy. I got my BFP on Sept 3 at 10 DPO. My first beta at 14 DPO was 83. That is way lower than my last pregnancy but still normal per my RE. I am getting a redraw on Monday. My EDD is May 17 - my mom's birthday! Although the baby will likely come early again.
Hello all! I am so excited to join this group. I am still in regular contact with my Aug 2015 Bump group (although we've moved to FB). I have a 2 year old son. I had severe preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome (anyone else?), so this is going to be a high risk pregnancy. I am being watched very carefully, but it is still scary considering how sick I was last time. I am a criminal defense attorney.
