Good morning!!! Excited to join this month and hope to stay. I am a 35 year old (AMA. I both dread and embrace this label) STM with a little girl who turned 1 in June. TW: prior to conceiving her I had a 10 week loss so I struggled with a lot of anxiety last pregnancy.
Also TW I had gestational diabetes with the last pregnancy but was able to manage it well and am hopeful if it reoccurs that I will be ok this time as well. Already starting to eat the old meals plans I used to use!
Excited to be here and hopeful for all of us for safe and healthy and happy pregnancies!
Hi all! I'll be a first time mom, after "sort of" TTC with my partner for about 6 months. We're so lucky and over the moon about being new parents. Our EDD is May 19th, which was my father's birthday. I'm really hoping our baby actually arrives on 5-19, but who knows!
@swiebe June 15 mama here, too! I wasn't terribly active on this board because of all the nastiness, but the Facebook group ladies are some of my closest friends.
Hey ladies! i'm ever so cautiously creeping in here. Got a shadow on sat (9dpo). And it got alittle darker today. I'll be peeing on sticks all wk I'm sure lol.
Due date is 5/31st, I wasn't sure if I should come here cause I'll end up having a repeat cs a wk earlier? Or if I'll feel to behind and should wait for the June board. I'll feel it out.
little about me... 35yrs old. I'm coming from the TTGP board. We've been tfas since may2016 -TW- but we had 2 losses in 2016-end TW- so I'll be a nervous effin wreck for the next ohhh 8wks. It's been a long road and I'm praying so hard for our rainbow. At the moment, I'm keeping cool. We have a son that'll be 5 soon.

Hi everyone! I got my BFP on 9/6 and am due May 17 (our 15th Anniversary!). We have a 4 year old son and have been dealing with secondary infertility for a couple years. We are so excited!
@thedawkterswife so awesome to have another June mom to go through this at the same time, is this your second babe? I think once everyone had their babes they migrated off the bump. I wish I would have stayed in contact. I don't have facebook, but for stuff like this I wish I did!
Hi there! Like so many it seems, I have a March '15 baby (DS). I was actually due in Feb though and was active on that board, but we have moved to FB now. Hi @cups4!
*TW* I had been due in March '18 and had a miscarriage in late July, with a D&C on August 2. I am shocked/excited to have gotten pregnant after my first cycle trying again. To say I am super anxious about this pregnancy is an understatement, though. I am comforted by the fact that so many of you know what I've been through, though I'm very sorry that you all know as well. I'm also hypothyroid and got my levels checked on Saturday, which were too high, so I'm expecting a dosage increase on Monday. I'm nervous about keeping my numbers in a good range because of the mc, though they were likely (hopefully) not related.
I'm super happy to be here and look forward to getting to know you better. I have some catching up to do as many of you have been around for a few weeks.
EDD is May 27, though I won't be surprised if I'm overdue again.
I have Hashimoto's so I hear you on worrying about levels! My endo immediately increased 30% when I told him I was pregnant. FX for numbers in the right range for you!
@bwow615 Our group migrated to Facebook around the beginning of third tri. The bump was getting reeeeeeaaaall nasty and we were all over the drama and just wanted to talk about our babies.
This is hopefully my second child, third pregnancy.
Hello! I got my BFP last sunday and have been lurking ever since as I still find it hard to believe. My DH and I live in Vancouver, BC.
*TW We lost our son at 20 weeks in May due to Trisomy 18. His EDD was 09/20 so my fingers are crossed pretty hard for a healthy baby this time around End TW*
I am looking forward to chatting with all you ladies throughout this experience.
Hi all I am expecting my 2nd bub on 24 May. It took 4 cycles to fall this time. My daughter is 22 months (born Nov 2015 but due 4 Dec) and I'm sure she will just love having a sibling. That said, I think this will be my final child. I'm happy with 2 Also, I'm Australian. I haven't spotted any Australians (living in Australia) yet.
Hi fellow Aussie, I only left 2 years ago still an Aussie
Hi everyone! I got my BFP on 9/6 and am due May 17 (our 15th Anniversary!). We have a 4 year old son and have been dealing with secondary infertility for a couple years. We are so excited!
I'm due May 17th too !!~
I'm due May 17 as well ❤️☺️ My hubby and I had infertility 22mo and baby is from a FET
@mina_honey so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby, and wonderful news you are pregnant again, and before the durn date. Praying baby grows well!
I'm a FTM. My EDD according to ovulation is 5/29, according to LMP it would be 5/22. MH and I both teach math, he's at the middle school level and I'm at the high school level. We got married this summer 7/22, but have been together for the past 10 years. I'm 30 he's 42. I got my BFP yesterday which was the 3 year anniversary of his father's passing so it's bittersweet we found out then.
*tw* last summer we had an 11 week mc with a dx of a blighted ovum, so we're trying to be optimistic. *tw*
We have 2, soon to be 13 year old black labs, who we spoil like children.
Oh heyyyyy! This is my second round. I was on TB for my first LO- DS was born in August of 2014. I was on TB then (in July 2014, lil fucker came 2 weeks late) as aliletz.
This was a big surprise for us! We used fertility treatments to conceive DS, and this one just happened- I noticed I was late, POAS (always good to keep a pack of Wondfos around!), and didn't see a second line- so I tossed it. Checked it again before bed, saw the second line, and immediately ran out for pink dye and digi tests.
I had my first appt yesterday, and my EDD is May 20! Looking forward to getting to know all of you
@cuntasaurusrex I'm a fellow July 14er! My old screen name was my real name so don't want to share but good times on that board until things got crazy with TB.

Ok actually I'm an idiot (I blame it on it being 6 a.m. and having mommy brain already). I couldn't remember your name and was racking my brain as to why and then it hit me-DD was born 7/29 but due on 8/5/14 sooo my good times were actually on A14.
Hello! I hope I'm doing this right . . . someone please help me out if I'm replying the wrong way or anything! I never did boards with my first child - now pregnant with my second!! EDD May 14, can't wait for that dr appointment next week! I have PCOS and both babies took us over two years of trying. I've known for 2 weeks, and I'm still in blissful disbelief!
I am also a teacher, and while they're only 6th graders, none suspected anything with my first. This time around, I feel like I might be more queasy, and a lot of my students have many siblings, so some of them may get tipped off haha, but mostly I only had students ask if I was pregnant when I was MOST CERTAINLY NOT thank you very much.
Hi! I thought I would introduce myself here. I have been participating on the April board, but I finally got my official due date and it is May 1. I am a STM and have a 3 year old son. My husband and I have been married for 6 years. I am an accountant and do bookkeeping and taxes.
Hi! I am a STM and have a 15 month old daughter. DH and I had planned on trying towards the end of the year but happened early lol. Last pregnancy I delivered my daughter at 36W due to Pre-E and I will be considered high risk for all of my pregnancies. I am an academic advisor for a university in TX and I sell EVER Skin on the side. Current EDD is May 18th which is 6 days before DD 2nd birthday.
Hi there. I'm a first time mom, went on a trip to Greece and came back pregnant! No official due date yet, but around may 8th. Looking forward to sharing this journey!
I got my BFP Saturday. EDD is 5/31. I won't have my first OB appt until 10/10. I still can't believe it! Hoping for a sticky baby. A day shy of being 4 weeks pregnant, so those HcG strips must be really sensitive! I'd been feeling tired, now I know why.
STM, my first is a boy, he's 3 and also a May baby! I don't know how often I'll be on here, but I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Hey everyone! My name's Christy, and this is my second time around being pregnant and on The Bump. I got my positive test yesterday and theoretically am due May 26th. Last time I was here I was in the April 2014 group, which puts my kiddo at almost three-and-a-half. I haven't been on since then, and it looks like a lot has changed! And I have to re-learn all the acronyms again! In A14 I was BiggerinRealLife or BiRL, not sure if anyone here may have been there as well, but if so, hi! We moved from California where I lived all my life to the Boulder, CO, CO area about eight months ago, and I'm still working on getting settled in and getting to know people. I left behind a great community in CA and fondly remember the A14 community on here, so I'm back, hoping to connect with you all as we do this next year together

Hi everyone! I am expecting my third. EDD is May 19th. It was not planned but we are excited!! I am a yoga teacher and a SAHM. 5 weeks and dreading week 6 because I am usually terribly sick by then. But, happy to be pregnant again! My 9 week appt is on Oct 13th.
My name is Kendra. I'm a working mom (I'm a high school teacher) of a very handsome 3 year old. I have had some symptoms of pregnancy since August, but was a little apprehensive to test. (Here comes a bit of rant - sorry) Last year around this time I was sure I was pregnant and got multiple negative tests. We continued to try without actually trying. October 1 I had some spotting - even though my period was the week prior. I told my husband I would call my doctor and figure out what's was up. I kissed him and headed to my school to chaperone the homecoming dance. I teach in a rural school so I headed up a country road to school. A truck didn't stop at a stop sign. I didn't have enough time to stop and I hit the back of him sending us both to the other side of the road. At the hospital they checked if I was pregnant. Nothing. Fast forward through a very stressful October (it felt like something every week). I spotted almost every day in October and every doctor blamed my accident or stress and wouldn't do any tests. Finally went to the OB that I saw for my son's pregnancy/birth and they did every test they could. Sure enough a positive pregnancy test, but low numbers on my blood work. Sure enough 2 days later (and 15 minutes after telling my parents) I started bleeding and cramping badly. I lost my baby. Not a long pregnancy, but hurt still. I wasn't ready to try again until recently due to pain and I wanted to try to time it right so I wouldn't need to take much (or any) maternity leave and use summer instead like I did with my son. So yesterday I finally got up the courage to test (being 5 days late I decided it was time). It came up positive almost instantly on 2 tests (one last night and one this morning). Based off of my period and what not I'm due May 23. First appointment is October 17. Really feeling good (minus the sick tummy and sore boobs I've had for a few weeks) so I'm hoping and praying for my rainbow baby this time. And maybe a girl!
Hi everyone! Finally Bump is letting me post. This is my first pregnancy and I got my first BFP back on August 25th . I am 34 years old and I am 7 weeks tomorrow. I am a nyc special education 4/5 grade teacher and a singer songwriter/ music producer. My husband James is an artist and high school art teacher in queens. We live in Rockaway beach NY. We are very excited for this new chapter of our lives. I had my third transvaginal ultrasound on Saturday and we saw the heartbeat. The nurses practitioner was there and she said I have some brusing and that I should be careful if I start bleeding. So I am a bit concerned. I am due May 9th! Nice to meet everyone
Re: *Introductions*
Also TW I had gestational diabetes with the last pregnancy but was able to manage it well and am hopeful if it reoccurs that I will be ok this time as well. Already starting to eat the old meals plans I used to use!
