Congratulations @hges83! My best friend was in a similar boat, having her third well apart from her first two. Honestly I'm jealous of all the help she has.
@sparkymcgeee I'm just getting to know people's stories. Are your kids spaced apart as well?
They are only two years apart but they will be 7 and 5 when this one comes along. I'm hoping for a lot of help from them. Including diapers. That's totally realistic right?
I've been lurking for a little while but here's the formal intro. I'm due May 4 with #2. I have an Aug15 and was pretty active in the bump group and have continued to be once we moved to Facebook.
I'm an older mom. I'm 39 but will be 40 when the baby is born. A little nervous about that but also feel very blessed!
@ashleys416 That is awesome! My son was actually 2 weeks early and was born at the end of March. The April 13 ladies were and still are the best support group I have been a part of. I tell them things I don't even tell my family. They have been amazing. I was hoping that would be the same experience for the July 15 group, unfortunately it was quite the opposite. After most of the group left it just got down right nasty! I stopped reading the threads because I couldn't stand how horrible the women were treating each other. I am really hoping for a supportive group here with you all, more like my first experience with The Bump.
Married DH : 7/7/12; 3 fur babies (2 dogs and 1 cat) DS born 9/3/13; DD born 7/22/15; LO due 5/28/18 FS (age 5) and FD (age 2) to become AS/AD very soon!
Hi! I'm a STM to a very tiny two year old, previous member of September15. I'm 5w1d, first appointment tomorrow. Looking forward to getting know everyone here!
I got my BFP on 8/26 after testing negative two days before that. EDD is 5/7. I am a FTM and am a little overwhelmed with this whole pregnancy thing, but I'm hoping being here with other moms (new and not new!) will help with that. I'm also a nurse, so right now I'm just trying to get through my 12 hour shifts without dying of this all-day-everyday nausea! Excited to be here!
Hi Ladies. I am technically due in June- but since I was 12 days early with my first, I figure I'll split my time between this board and the June board (whenever it starts).
I'm a STM and my DD will be 9 months old tomorrow. They will be 18 months apart and while I'm super excited I'm also unbelievably scared about what we have just gotten ourselves into. TW I had 2 MMC before having my daughter and I am also nervous about the possibility of going through another MC. I see that you have a weekly PGAL board already that I will be active in.
Looking forward to getting to know you all more over the next 9ish months.
Hello! I am probably going to be one of the last new girls here! My EDD is May 29 according to my LMP. I tested on the day of my missed period and get a faint positive. Confirmed the next morning with a digital test and then again at the doctor! Anxiously awaiting my first ultrasound as my last pregnancy ended in early miscarriage at 8 weeks.
I have a 3-year-old daughter (April baby) and 5-year-old step-daugther. I'm excited to share the news with them after our first ultrasound!
Hi!! Based in my calculations my due date is May 21st., this baby is a surprise for us, we have 3 boys, the oldest being 14yrs old and the youngest almost 5. We thought we were done, until my BFP. I'm 42 yrs old so my age worries me a little bit though. We are super excited though!
Hey all! I'm Hannah and I'm a FTM. BFP was just last Thursday, the 21st. Apparently I'm already 6 weeks along. I took the test more on a whim than anything, I thought I had sort of had a visit from AF but it wasn't totally normal so I took a test and here we are! I'm a physical therapist and DH is a pediatric resident physician. We've been married for 3 years but together for 9. We're both overwhelmed but excited! EDD is 5/22 (we think lol).
Hello! I'm Marisol, I have 3 boys and expecting #4, we thought we were done, then hurricane Harvey came and I guess with the stress we miscalculated the risky ovulation days, and bam! Got pregnant

Glad you made it through Harvey! Plus a bonus gift!
Hello everyone! My name is Pollie, I'm 24 years old and my husband and I are expecting our first on May 10th... Got a BFP about a month ago, but didn't want to say anything til now as I had a miscarriage in late April. We went for our first ultrasound this morning and got to hear the heartbeat, and baby is doing great! This was not a planned pregnancy, but I am so thankful and excited for my little one to get here!
Thank you for understanding, for some reason it wasn't letting me finish my introduction. I also wanted to say I'm 42 yrs old and despite my age we are very excited. I wish you all a healthy pregnancy!
Hi everyone! I am late joining in but I have been reading and following along since the beginning.
My due date is May 8. I'm 8+1 today. I got my BFP on August 24, which was around 10 DPO. I proceeded to take no less than 15 more pregnancy tests and finally made myself stop around 6.5 weeks.
I'm 34 and a FTM. We tried for 15 months for this baby and I was shocked when I saw that first faint line on the pregnancy test. While we both insanely excited, I'm struggling with a lot of pregnancy anxiety.
First, I'm one of those who have minimal symptoms. Minus peeing all.the.time and some breast soreness/growth, I've felt really good. While I feel lucky, it's also hard to relate to others who are feeling like complete crap because I've never been there and I'm wondering if I SHOULD be there!
Second, my doctor was able to see the fetal pole around 6 weeks but no heartbeat. I was instructed to come back in 10 days for a TV ultrasound at 8 weeks. That appointment was on Monday and we saw a baby measuring right on track with a strong heartbeat. I was feeling some relief but then learned that I have a 1cm SCH. My doctor is fairly confident that it won't cause complications and will resolve on its own and doesn't have me on any restrictions at the moment. I'm a yoga teacher and group exercise instructor so of course I'm questioning all the activity I'm doing but listening to my body.
Taking it one day at a time and trying to stay grounded and grateful. I'm definitely in need of connection and community so I'm excited to join in with you ladies. Thanks for being here and for being so open and honest about everything.
Hello! My edd is 5/31 but I have a feeling Iau be switched to June after my dating ultrasound next month! Bfp 9/25
I am a third time mom. I have a 6 year old daughter and a 15 month old. This baby was a definite surprise as dh was *done* and we had one little slip up. I'm a sahm in small-town Iowa and a Girl Scout Leader that I love and hate at the same time.
I want to be team green this time around but dh is not having it. I consider myself a "chewy granola" mom lol. I ebf/extended, baby wear, cosleep etc i just don't cloth or delay vaccs.
I've had great and not so great experiences with bmb in the past, so I'm hoping for another great experience!
Hi! I'm 29 and this is baby #3. I'm a SAHM two daughters 4.5 and 2. I love SAH but if this is your first and you're planning to be one, my best piece of advice is to get OUT of the house every day. I'm going to try and be active here because my December 2012 bump group ended up being such a blessing- we're down to 60ish members in the FB group but we're closer than ever. I never really got into the August 2015 group but since this is my last pregnancy I want to try and savor all the experiences!
Hi everyone! Happy to be joining! I am a FTM. Due date got switched from 4/25 to 5/3 so just hit 9 weeks today. I am in ca. Looking forward to meeting you all on this new journey
Hi all. Second time mom, my first was born in April of 2011. I live in New York City, currently work part time managing a small nonprofit. EDD is May 25, but will likely go earlier as I'll be a repeat section.
