@babygagnon2018 what a small world!! Yes, I am going to the Birth Place! I’m glad to hear a good review

Have you delivered there before??

thediarywithin · December 2017

Hi everyone, my name is Kendra and I am thirty years old. I have three children currently. Ginny is six years old and has a letter sent to Santa hoping that Mommy is pregnant (Christmas she finds out I am). Miles is four years old and has low-functioning, semi-verbal aggressive autism with Sensory Processing Disorder and OCD. Then my youngest is Mason who is two years old and he is a spit fire. He loves to wrestle and try to fly off of things (currently in an arm cast because a flying fail attempt off the end table).

I was on mini pill when I found out I was pregnant with this amazing little one. We are offically done after this sweet little one that will join our family around July 26th, with a planned c-section.

I attempted to breastfeed my oldest but I was not producing enough (she was born early). I finally switched to all formula with her. My boys were breastfed until they self weaned, my middle child weaned himself at 22 months old and my youngest was 19 months old.

@samjjorgensen I have not but both my SIL's and 2 best friends have!

How far along are you that you got an ultrasound at Foundation? I have my first appt tomorrow and they said they dont do them until 12 weeks

samjjorgensen · December 2017

@babygagnon2018 ah! They were dating me at 10 weeks based on my last period, but I had JUST gone off the pill so my cycle was somewhat unknown. The APRN couldn’t get a definite date from the pelvic exam, so she got me in immediately for a dating ultrasound, where they found out I was closer to 8 weeks. I wasn’t supposed to have an US until my January appointment, originally.

But in this one they’ll definitely use doppler to find the heartbeat and if they can’t find it using that, they have a handheld US they use, which is really nice!

twinklemoon · December 2017

Hi everyone, my name is Michelle. Married 7 yrs, work in accounting, have a 3yr old, expecting my second one DD 7/3. Excited to get to know everyone

and to share my experience this second time around.

lem5344 · December 2017

Hi everyone! My name is Lauren and I'm 25. I just got engaged in August to my amazing fiance. Then we found out in Nov about the baby. This will be our first. My first appt is on Monday so no EDD yet but I have estimated that I'm 9 weeks today. Very excited !!

breiter90 · December 2017

Brittani here, this is our first pregnancy. We were married this year on March 18. I am currently 7 weeks pregnant and 48 hours ago we had a big scare, while I was at work. I had a blood clot drop and feared the worst but we are ok now. Baby is still holding strong. Everyone is saying the baby will be a boy lol. Our bundle of joy should be here around July 26, 2018.

jenn81922 · December 2017

Hi Ladies. My name is Jenn. This is my first pregnancy. My EDD is July 17, 2018. I am excited to be a part of this group and be involved in The Bump Community!

maybo19 · December 2017

Hello all—

MC mentioned below-

You can call me MB if you would like. I am a STM/ loss momx3/ Edd July 26,2018 currently 7 weeks 2 days. Excited about having another one but very cautious at this time. I waited and lurked a bit on the board before Jumping in. I am seeing a RE with this pregnancy as well and my hcg is rising and we saw a heartbeat last Monday. We have a follow up on Monday. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

hayhay93 · December 2017

Hi everyone, my name is Haley and I’m a FTM. I left my job in California, in June, to move to my boyfriend’s home state of New Mexico. Am I nuts?! This pregnancy was not planned but we are more than happy to welcome our little buddy on or around July 2nd!
So far, I’ve been enjoying the famous New Mexico green chili during this pregnancy but it doesn’t make up for the fact that I’m definitely missing my mom and sister a bunch and wishing they were here.
I’ve been planning on going back to school next fall with online classes. Hoping that it will be manageable but am totally prepared to be completely flexible once little bean is born. Looking forward to this new chapter!
*Edited for typos and things I forgot to mention*

Claireymary · December 2017

Hi I’m Claire! I’m 25 and this is my second LO, due 7/27. DS is 2 and I was a part of the Sep15 BMB. My husband and I live in rural Iowa I’m an RN in family practice and he has a plumbing and heating company he operates with his parents. So excited to be here!

coco305 · December 2017

Hi all! I'm Sarah, from Miami. I'm 9w1d, edd 7/14. I'm 41 and this is my first pg. we did IVF in August, then an embryo transfer in October, and now here I am.
Currently on bedrest due to heavy bleeding but everything checked out ok on the U/S
my first ob appt is Tuesday (been with my RE until now) excited and nervous about it.

knottie73358b9a38642d7f · December 2017

I lost both my MIL and FIL within 11 months of each other with my FIL just passing in October (who were more like parents to me than my actual...haven’t spoken to mine in over 10 years). I’ve had two miscarriages and I like to think that they’re all looking down on me from Heaven and will allow this baby to be born healthy...hopefully happy too! I’m 37 and DH will be 41 day after Christmas. I can relate to how hard it is losing parents; esp my FIL as he was an OB/GYN and wanted nothing more than to hold a baby that DH and I made together. I should say that DH is adopted so this baby will be the first blood relative he’ll ever know!

This group is so great to be part of!

r10za1816 · December 2017

Hello! I am a 27 yr old FTM to be. I am 8-9 weeks pregnant and no set DD yet. I got pregnant by my ex and had to deliver the news after not speaking for about a month. I always believed to have infertility issues so you could imagine my surprise and shock when I found out. I believe everything happens for a reason though and am optimistic about our relationship. He’s a great guy and will be there every step of the way. I’m so thannkful to find this board because I am going through most of this alone and need a support system like this one. Although our unorthodox situation, we are both so excited and blessed to be expecting parents!

tall_stach1 · December 2017

Hi, I’m Jen from Northern California! I’m 35 and FTM. I’m just over 9 weeks, due 07/15/18. After two miscarriages over the last year, we were so excited to see a heartbeat this time!

projectpanda · December 2017

Hi everyone, I'm expecting No. 2 at the end of July - I'm 7+1 but feel like I've been pregnant for EVER at this stage! I was a member of the April 2016 group but was more of a lurker. My first baby has Down syndrome - only found out in the delivery room (no testing offered here in Ireland)....was a huge shock as there were no indicators or markers throughout my pregnancy. I'm 39 and incredibly anxious about this pregnancy. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy pregnancy

socksgirl1784 · December 2017

Hi my name is Shannon, I am 33 years old (almost 34). Just got married in July 2017 to my long time boyfriend of 17 years. First time being pregnant. Got my BFP on November 19th. LMP was Oct 21st. First prenatal appointment is scheduled for Dec 21st. Edited to add based on my dates I would be due July 28th 2018 but I guess I will get a more accurate picture after my first prenatal appointment.

baby1wasbornintoheaven · December 2017

Hello everyone,
My name is Olivia and im 24 (turning 25 in a month) my boyfriend is 30 and we are having our first baby! Our due date is July 25th 2018. I have only had blood work and a urine test to confirm the pregnancy. I will feel much less nervous monday when we get a ultrasound confirmation, and see the heartbeat. Praying everything is fine, ready to not be so nervous and enjoy

justdoit93 · December 2017

Hello! I’ve been following along here but haven’t posted anything yet. My husband and I️ grew up together, our moms went to high school together. We have been married for almost 6 yearsand we are both 25. He is currently serving his second deployment in Kuwait and I’m a stay at home mom. We have 4 beautiful babies ages 5, 3, 2 and 7 months with #5 on the way. 3 girls and a boy so far! He isn’t supposed to be home until September sometime, but is being told he will get to come home for a few days around our due date which is July 17th! I️ won’t be posting much as I’m crazy busy but love seeing what everyone has to say!

amylu914 · December 2017

WOW @justdoit93 I bet crazy busy is an understatement. Congrats on #5, that is impressive!

justdoit93 · December 2017

@amylu914 thanks! We are over the moon excited to add to our (not-so-little) family!

myfairbump · December 2017

FTM EDC 7/11, so I'm a little over 10 weeks. I am a 34 yr old nurse in Tennessee. DH and I have been together for almost 12 years, married 7.5 years. I have been lurking on the boards for a while, honestly scared to post. We have told a few people here and there, will announce to our families at Christmas (scared to do that too) however will not announce to the world for a while (yet again I'm scared to, who would have guessed it right).

hayhay93 · December 2017

@myfairbump I completely understand being scared. We are scared to tell my bf’s dad’s side of the family, so we are going to put it off as long as possible but not too long that they would be offended. Probably 20 weeks. And we most likely won’t post on social media until the birth lol. Which comes with its own set of nerves. I wish you luck!

sm05-2 · December 2017

Hi, @coco305, from a ftm who is currently 40! Good luck with your first appointment tomorrow!

kaw726 · December 2017

Hello all! Excited to join the bump. I’m Kindra- FTM and 27 years old. Got married in March and have an EDD of July 20. Currently at 9 weeks and 4 days. So antsy for my next US at 12 weeks!

shelbylove_1986 · December 2017

Hey everyone!

My name is Shelby, I’m 31 and live in Southampton England. This is my second pregnancy, EDD is 31/7. I had an ectopic pregnancy 3 years ago which resulted in my left Fallopian tube being removed, I’ve also had 3 MC.. so this time round I’m really nervous and just trying to take it easy.. I had some bleeding last night but no pain, I’ve got a scan booked in for tomorrow so I’m praying everything is okay.. nice to meet you all, I’m looking forward to getting to know you all better ❤️

brittw923 · December 2017

Hi everyone! I was told to Introduce myself here so here I am!

my name is Brittany. I’m new to the app as I am expecting our first baby July 2. So bear with me as I don’t understand the abbrivations and everything haha. I’m from NJ and 29 years old. My husband and I got married this past July and knew we wanted to start trying right away! We didn’t realize how fast it can happen haha by we are soooo excited! I suprised him with a positive pregnancy test, a dad onsie and baby book when he got home from a work trip. His birthday was two days later so i told him it was an early birthday gift. We are so excited and get to find out the sex this week! We were finally able to share the good news with everyone this past Monday as all our screenings came back perfect

AlwaysMrsS · December 2017

Hi everyone! I'm a SAHM. I'm 29, and DH is 31. This is our third, but it feels like my first. DD1 will be 7 in a few weeks, and DD2 will be 6 soon after LO arrives. My EDD is 7/26, and I'll have a repeat c section around that date. My girls were born in Texas with the same dr. Now that I live in NW Ohio, I don't know what to expect at my first appointment.

jenny2018 · December 2017

Hi everyone! I'm Jen, going to be a FTM. In my late 20's and hubby is early 30's, we've been together for a little over 6 years and married 3.5. I'm just shy of 9wks and think my EDD is sometime around July 26 give or take. So ready for my first OB appointment, it's still 2 weeks away!

babybakie · December 2017

@coco305 @sm05-2 I'm a ftm too, Age 43 here.

funnygirl25 · December 2017

Hey ladies! I'm brand new to this board, so trying to get the hang of it.

This is my second pregnancy, first was a MMC in April. I'm pretty excited, slightly terrified. My husband and I are ready though!

I'm an ED nurse, and I love cats. We have 3 :-P

krystlerr · December 2017

Hi everyone! I’m Krystle from Los Angeles and today marks 9 weeks pregnant EDD 7/31. I got married to my high school sweetheart in April, which also was our 12 year anniversary. We are very excited about the pregnancy and just shared the news with our families over the holidays. This will be the first grandchild for both of our parents and everyone is ecstatic.

morethanamama · December 2017

@krystlerr holla from OC! We also announced this past weekend - I'm 12w - and the first time grandparents were so excited!!

jb2rn · December 2017

Hi! I am Jen, 13 weeks tomorrow with our second child. My husband is I the military and we currrently live in Southern California. I have Deminished Ovarian Reserve so we thought we were super lucky to have our son, who is now 6.

We tried for years for a second, and we didn’t feel like IVF was a good investment given my diagnosis and age...and now I am 41 and unexpectedly pregnant naturally

i think I will feel better once I get my first tri screening back.

brittw923 · December 2017

Does anyone know how to change your name on here ?

Type PSA knottie in the search bar our main page (at the bottom if you're on mobile) and it should bring you to a pretty detailed thread.

mags1987 · December 2017

Hi I'm Maggie

I've been married for 7 years and we have 2 wonderful kids. DS is 3.5 and DD is 18 months. We just found out last week it's twins so I moved to the July Board. The doctor has concerns on the twins, they're measuring 1 week apart but both look good and have good strong heartbeats. I had the Panoroma test this week and I'm waiting for results before going to the MFM. Praying for good news!!

blackpaws91 · December 2017

Hi everyone! I'm a first time mom. I'm single and will be doing this by myself (hopefully with the help of family). I was actually told about 5 years ago that I wasn't able to have kids, so I never thought I'd be doing this. My EDD is July 28th, everything is healthy and I'm finally getting a little excited.

knottie44d954204e4e1694 · December 2017
