Hey! I'm Katie and I haven't been on TB in about 5 years I am married, have a 6yo dd and am about 9w1d with #2! I always said I was one and done...but here we are! First appt is tomorrow, fx everything is fine!
Hi all, I'm PGAL and AMA STM in Forest Hills, NY (in NYC) and have been (mostly) quietly lurking with my fingers crossed until my first appointment, which was this evening. Yay! Things are looking good at 9 weeks! I'm excited to participate fully and get to know you all. My DD turned 4 in September and we've been TTC for the last two years. I'm 40 so this will be the last one for me.

Hello all! I'm Katherine and I live in SoCal with my husband and DS. I was on The Bump's June 2014 BMB when my son was born and I am forever grateful for the friendships I formed there. This is an IUI baby so my EDD is a pretty firm 8/27/18. I have a history of losses so I was hesitant to post until I was released from my reproductive endocrinologist. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy journey!
Hi, 26 years old, live in Norway. Pregnant second time around. Due 12/8 this time around. So it will be 2 years beetwen the siblings. Don’t know if there is one or two in there, and it will be around 1,5 month before I know. Excited!!
Congrats! You should change your screen name so we can get to know you. You'll probably have to log out and back in on the knot after you change it. Also, I think L&D nurses are saints. I had a fairly traumatic labor/delivery, and I would have gone batshit crazy if not for the amazing nurses I had!
Hey! Okay I tried logging out and in so hopefully it works! Sorry to hear your first birthing experience was traumatic !! Hopefully it’s a lot smoother this time around! I honestly love what I do and I feel so blessed to be able to experience what I get to experience everyday at work. It’s an honor to be there to see patients at such a magical time of their lives! That being said, when things aren’t going so well it can be really sad and traumatic. Nice to meet you and thanks for reaching out!
I am due around Aug 26, I'm 7 weeks today. I haven't had a dr apt or dating ultrasound yet.
This will be my 4th child, my other children will be DS 20, DD1 18, DD2 12, when this little one arrives. I feel like I am a first time mom again, it's been so long I forgot so much.
I'm a little late to the game, but don't worry, I've been lurking! I'm definitely not new to thebump, though, as I've been around for about 6 years since TTC our first. My husband and I have 2 boys and after a 1.5 year infertility journey we are thrilled to be expecting our third! Looking forward to getting to you all!
I'm due August 23!

Welcome @labrnr74! I'm right there with you! We are due the same week and I too have much older children. My DDs are 21 & 12! Best of luck to you and I look forward to getting to know you!
Hi, all! I wanted to introduce myself as I’m currently just passed 8 weeks and due August 20th. My name is Rosalie and this is pregnancy number 3.... our first was a mmc and the second was our beautiful 18 month daughter.
eta- The Bump ate half my post....anyway, congrats to everyone here and here’s to hoping for happy and healthy babes in August!! And July and probably September too lol
My name is Megan, my EDD is August 15th, this is my second pregnancy DS is now 3. I’m from Wales which is a small country in the UK. I was somewhat active on an October 14 board last time round but didn’t join until late (which was a shame) but hope to be more active here.
Im only able to access through the mobile app currently and am having difficulties with seeing others or adding my own Siggy so will try and figure that out soon.
Hello, I’m a long time lurker and was previously on the infertility board. I’m Janice and I’m 39 and DH is 43. This is my first child though DH has two kids 13 and 16. After 3.5 years of infertility I got pregnant naturally during a month I had been cancelled for IVF. Crazy! I live in Canada and I’m very excited and nervous. My EDD is August 22 which makes me 7w6d. I’m planning on having the panorama blood test and including gender. Good luck to all of us for a healthy 9 months!
Hey everyone! I’m Stacia. I’m 27 and just found out I’m 8weeks 3 days pregnant with TWINS. This is my 2nd pregnancy and finding out it is twins was a complete shock. I’m excited to be here and can’t wait to hear all the encouragement from all the other moms to be.
Hi everyone. Im 38 preg with second. It was twins but we lost one. Im finnally feeling better and hopeful. I look forward to being part of a supportive community until august and beyond.:)
Hello everyone! My name is Liz and I’m 10 weeks today with baby #4. I have three daughters who are 2, 3 and 7 and have already gotten a whole bunch of “I bet you hope it’s a boy this time” comments I am a little slow at joining this board but hope to be more active! I was pretty active on the N15 board with my last pregnancy and still talk to a close group of about 10 ladies I met on that board all the time. It was a godsend having people to talk to who were all going through similar experiences especially in those challenging first few months with a newborn! I hope you all have a H&H 9 months and look forward to getting to know you all better!

It's so cool to see that we have so much international representation in this group! Norway is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Your kids will be close in age, which is so nice. Let us know when you find out how many you're having!
Hi all! I’ve been lurking the boards since I was 5 weeks but haven’t introduced myself until now (cautiously aware of MC and MMC’s that occur in the family.) My name is Briony, I’m 23 and I’ve no previous children, so this will be my first! I’m also based in the UK!
But I’m now 11 weeks and a day, due August 1st and very ready to get more involved in the community as long as my first scan goes well next week.
Hi all!! I am 28 STM and a SAHM of a 2 1/2 little girl. My husband and I have been together for 8 years and this year we will be married for 4 years! I am current in a mom group from my TB with my baby and it was the best thing, so I’m excited to get to know all of you!
I am due August 24th and just had my first US yesterday!
Hi everyone! My name is Kelsey, 30 years old, and DH and I live in Washington state. EDD is August 13th. This is our first so we are both excited and a little nervous. We had our first US yesterday at 9.5 weeks and everything is looking great so far! So fun to see baby moving around
Hey friends! My name is Ashley, this is my third pregnancy (we lost the first two early on). I found out at about four weeks, and am 8 weeks 4 days today. I'm 30, my husband is 32. Trying to stay positive! I'm an artist and teacher living in New England, my husband is an engineer:) this will be our first baby! Congrats to all of you! I'm looking forward to sharing the experience with everyone! We're due August 22nd !
Hi, I'm Angela. I am 36 and live in southern ME. This is my first pregnancy! I went to the dr. at 6 weeks and was able to see the baby and the heartbeat! My EDD is August 9th! They found a cyst on my right ovary. Anyone else have one?
Hey Angela! I actually had a cyst rupture at about 5 weeks-- we thought it was another miscarriage, but thank God it was just a cyst. Had my 8 week ultrasound this week and saw a heartbeat. Also have two more cysts. Hoping they behave!
Hi everyone! My name is Megan, and i’m 25. I am 7w5d, and this will be our first (we’re very excited). I am so looking forward to sharing my journey with all of you ladies!
I am currently PGAL, due Aug 30th and hoping it stays that way! I have a 2.5 year old Daughter. I had 3 miscarriages before her, have had 2 after and my last pregnancy in August ended up being an ectopic. So here’s to hoping this one keeps growing! I have to take progesterone daily until 12 weeks.
I’m 8w4d with my third. I just found out I was pregnant on Monday when I was 7w6d. My first two were conceived with fertility treatments, so this is a TOTAL surprise. We thought I was broken. I haven’t had a period in more than 4 years. So...imagine my surprise!
My two boys are ages 4 and 14 months.
It’s going to be crazy have 3 kids (and two under 2 for a bit), but the shock is wearing off and we’re so excited.
I was very active on my BMB for baby #2 (still am in our Facebook group). Looking forward to getting to know some of you.
Hello everyone, my name is Sam and I'm 24. My SO is 31. We are from Minnesota. This is my first ever pregnancy and my SO second child, his first is 6. This is all so new and exciting and I'm so excited to get to know and learn from you other mothers along the way.
Hey all! Due August 27 with my second. I was in another bump month club and loved it for the most part. I’m from NJ and have a two year old boy. I’m super excited about having our second but have been really struggling with nausea as I’m sure most of us are right now!
After a couple weeks of becoming reacquainted with the bump, I decided to come out of the shadows and finally make my introduction. This is #2 for me and my fiancé. We had our son July 2016, and this one’s EDD is August 27. I’m excited to rejoin the bump and am excited to be a little more active online than I was with the last.
I would love to help someone like that! You will always be a blessing to them! I hope your life is blessed 10 fold for your bravery and awesomeness!! I hope this little boy will be handsome just like they wish!! Im sure they will ❤ it no matter what! Happy healthy pregnancy to you!
Hi ladies, I'm a SAHM at the moment but a Nanny when I am working. I have a 5 year old daughter and am so thrilled to be pregnant again! Due Aug 3rd according to u/s on 1/2. I'm 11 weeks 3 days and *crossing fingers* feel like the worst of the morning sickness is past. This pregnancy has been a lot different from my first. With my daughter I lived on Zofran until half way thru the 3rd tri. This time I've been able to manage it with how and what I eat and perfect timing. We have a Genetic Counseling appt on the 23rd so I am kind of anxious about that and not even sure I want any of that. Any insight into what that appt entails would be awesome!
