  Hi Ladies! 
  
  So between work (government attorney) and my 15 month old, didn't realize I might be pregnant until I woke up with the worst morning sickness 3 weeks ago. Confirmed with doctor 2 weeks ago and got the news that we are expecting another little girl a week ago. A little surprising but very exciting. Our due date is May 6th. Fingers crossed  for a healthy pregnancy for all!

  I'm super late in introducing myself. I'm still digesting the news of expecting our second, while balancing the busiest time ever for me at work and keeping up with our 19-month-old.  While this is happening about a year ahead of schedule, I'm very excited to expand our family to 4 in mid-May (EDD 5/15). 
  
  Oh - my name is Julie and I'm in Washington, DC.

  Hi! 
  I'm a first time mum at 39... so slightly freaked out at how much my body is changing! 
  I'm estimated to give birth on 25 May and am telling my parents today! 
  I've had several scans, last was a week ago. Strong heartbeat and wiggly little baby was seen. I can't help feeling nervous and excited. Maybe it's because I'm a first time mother and I'm being uber careful about everything? 
  Anyway... keeping my head up despite the yucky soiled panties (my mucus is brown and apparently that's all normal for me), the exhaustion at 2pm, and the lack of appetite (lord knows how I've put on 7 pounds!). 
  Have a wonderful weekend y'all!

  Super late to the party but I am coming over from the June board. This baby is definitely a surprise  and I found out on 10/04 and I thought I was around 9-10 weeks along as I have irregular cycles. Had my first ultrasound today and the tech jumped up from a surprise saying I have a big-o baby in there. EDD is 5/14 and right night measuring 13 weeks and 2 days. She asked me if I had a light period in September and I sure did. I also had light bleeding and spotting on and off. My levels seemed high when my when did blood work but that was the reason that they didn’t move my us closer. Still shocked as I just surpassed 1st trimester. 
  
  I am STM to a 6 year old DD. Love hiking and exploring in the nature - hope our addition loves that too. I work in Marketing as Data Analyst but looking for a new opportunity as my company is going through lay off because they lost signifant amount of business. 
  Excited to be here!!!

  Hello everyone! I am very late to the party on here because I had zero idea there was a community. I am a FTM and am still trying to figure out all the abbreviations, so please bare with me.  My due date is 5/27 and i could not be more excited! However due to a car accident from 4 years ago, I am meeting with my spine surgeon to decide if i need a C-section so hopefully i will have an exact date. My fiancé and I are beyond excited! We live in New Jersey!

  Hello! Popping on to introduce myself. I am pregnant with my second, first LO just turned 2! I’m due May 8th and I am positively dying to find out if I’m having a girl or a boy...to be honest, I’m sorta hoping it’s a girl this time around, but of course I’ll be happy with a boy too. My first pregnancy was an easy one, but I’ve been a bit sicker this time around...luckily I’m out of the dreaded first trimester now and I’m feeling better most days. Looking forward to posting with you ladies!

  Hi ladies! I joined the bump a little later than many of you, but I'm excited to be here! I found out I was pregnant right before my trip to Greece on August 24th (wanted to see if it would be safe to drink...clearly not ). My edd is May 4th, and being a huge star wars fan, my husband is praying baby will come on that exact day. I work in a dental office, and plan to be a working mom. Tbh, I'm not quite sure how that will work out yet...since in a few short months, I'm going to be a ftm..eeeekkk! Excited

  Hi All! I'm a newbie to The Bump & to my little bump! A little about me, I'm a FTM and both a single & older one too, I'm 41. Ikr! Most of my friends have older kids & I'm just beginning. Better late than never!
  
  I'm a few days shy of my 14th week & looking forward to the morning/afternoon/evening sickness to be gone for good. My EDD is May 18th!
  
  I live in NE though lived in Los Angeles for a few years & will probably move back after the baby is a little older though haven't made a firm decision yet. The baby's father is older, he's 50 & has an 11 year old from a previous relationship and is not interested in being involved in this child's life. His loss right?
  
  I'm looking forward to exchanging ideas about everything from breastfeeding to stylish maternity clothes on a budget.

  Hello there! I’m Jessica and I’m a 27 year old mom of one little girl, she was born January 12, 2016. This is our 5th pregnancy and currently due with another girl on a May 9th 2018! Although I’m excited to have another baby, I’m petrified of having a toddler and infant! I work full time as a Medical benefits Coordinator at a union up here in NY, and my husband owns a mason/landscaping company. We have a hectic life but we’re trying to ease our way to an easy transition

  Hello,
  My name is Ashley and I am due may 28th. I struggled with infertility for 3 years before having a spontaneous pregnancy. I went through IUI and IVF with no luck. Because I wasn’t expecting to get pregnant I didn’t take a test until September 21 which was 18 DPO. 
  Looking forward to chatting once I figure out all the rules!

  Hey everyone. My name is Ashley and I'm 32. My husband and i struggled with infertility for 2 years, going through 4 IUI rounds with clomid with no luck. Our last round failed in June and we pretty much gave up. Imagine my surprise when I took a random test on 9/16 and it was positive! We are over the moon excited and can't wait to find out gender on 12/12! I'm due 5/27.

  Late to join the party but STM, 28, DS will be 2 in March and our EDD is May 30.  We will deliver at 39 weeks due to repeat c-section.  I've actually been avoiding an introduction due to a history of loss and bleeding at 11 weeks. It appears this babe is just going to keep me on my toes as my 12 week u/s and a 13 week u/s to check up both showed a healthy, growing sprout with strong heartbeat.

  Hey ladies! My name is Jess and I am due on May 25 I'm just discovering the Communities feature now, so I'm a little late. I am a newlywed, recently moved across the country, and currently 15w5d into my first pregnancy, so this is just one of many big changes that have happened in the past half-year.

  
  

  Wishing you all the best next 5-6 months, and can't wait to follow along with all of you on this journey!
