Hi everyone! This is baby 4 for us. I am 30 and a SAHM to two boys and a girl. 10, 7 and 17months. (I was semi active on the Aug '16 board) I have no idea when I'm due since I haven't had much for periods since my last baby. Assuming due in Sept. Strictly based off of when symptoms started. But we have an appointment on Tuesday to find out!!! Hoping for happy healthy pregnancies for all of us.
Hey y'all! Well I guess I am back to the Bump as a STM this time - but I sure as hell don't feel like it! The STMs in my first BMB were absolutely phenomenal and knowledgeable and I still rely on them daily for advice - we are a close-knit group! As for me... I still feel like I am figuring out how to FTM lol. Part of that is because baby #1 is only 10 months old! Yup... total surprise. DH and I discussed possible baby making in 2018 but didn't realize at the time that we had already conceived lol.
Baby #2 EDD is 9/20. Definitely a shock still, but a happy one! 2 under 2 is going to be interesting lol!
I'm finally out of newbie jail and free to post! I've been lurking and liking posts and hopefully have a decent handle on the flow of this board. I'm a second time mom, 39, so advanced maternal age, previous history of preeclampsia. My kiddo is a rambunctious 2ish year old and is a delight and a terror as all toddlers are. This pregnancy is way unplanned. Very much wanted, but way unplanned. Hopefully it's a strong sticky baby because it's already facing some challenges. Until yesterday I still had an IUD correctly in place. I'm told those bad boys are like 99.4% effective and there's no room for user error.... Hi! I'm the other .6% They were able to easily move my IUD so now we are waiting to see how the baby does with that. (Removing an iud can cause a miscarriage, leaving it in can too, and it puts one at a much higher risk of ectopic pregnancy.) I'm about 5 weeks along, so due towards the end of September So, hello and nice to meet you all
Hi everyone, wanted to write a little hello to all you ladies MH and I have been trying and wishing and hoping since October 2016. I was on Letrozole since July and I was crushed and disappointed every month. In November we were blessed right before we were going to book and pay for an IUI with Gonal and Ovidrel for December. The morning of our appt, I would not believe my eyes, my period was a day late, so I thought well.. POAS and saw a faint positive. I was overjoyed and shocked and so so happy and unaware that my worst fear would come true. About a week later when I was told it was likely a CP and that I would miscarry in the coming days. I was an absolute mess over the holidays. Not us, we tried so hard, we fought for this in my mind, we did not deserve this. No one does. I had a feeling of hope around New Years and decided to try to be normalish again. New year new me..Take it day by day. We will get our baby. We will try again and do IUI in Feb or March after a break.
I got a BFP on January 16th. Another miracle. I was shocked ( since we tried every month since Oct 2016 and last few months were medicated cycles ). The loss is still so fresh for me. I am trying not to let the anxiety and fear of what may happen take over me. I am so so protective and cautious and just feel so incredibly lucky to be pregnant each day. Wishing you all the best 9 months xox Stephanie.

I'm a 37 year old STM in the Denver area. DH and I have a 20 month old DD, 2 St. Bernards and a cat. I was part of the May 16 BMB (did not stumble upon it until half way through my pregnancy though) and moved to the FB group after birth, but I took a year+ break from FB and I'm really missing those May mommas and babes! Anywhoo, we got our BFP Monday night after a really weird cycle and thinking I was moving on to the next cycle of TTC...a lovely turn of events! Wishing you ALL a H & H 9 months!
ETA: Thinking my EDD is 9/23, but will know more after my first appointment on 2/13.
@carolina422. @chelletn I am in the exact same situation as you ladies. ( CP then BFP right after ) We tried for about a year before the CP. I am just so happy to be here but worried/apprehensive about everything. Hoping so hard we all get to stay here until Sept

Hey ladies! I’m Brie, 32 from Evans, GA. I mean a mommy to three boys (age so 4, 2, and 1) and we just found out we are expecting September! Looking forward to being in a group with y’all on this journey!
Hey! I'm 5 week 5 days pregnant today with my first. This was not a planned pregnancy with my husband but I am so excited. I've only ever wanted to be a mom and a wife. I'm in nursing school for my second degree right now and will just take the fall semester off. I am due Sept 24th. I saw my OB 4 days ago and he said everything felt great and looked good. I'm 25, and pretty healthy. I'm honestly nervous and overwhelmed but reading these posts calm me down! First ultrasound on Feb 13th! Happy Valentine's Day!
Hello! Finally allowed to post and think the days of lurking have taught me *most*abbreviations - I'm a 32-year-old lawyer in the DC area (shout-out @cyborgista - hope you made the best of the furlough and enjoyed your unplanned 3-day weekend), and a FTM who, like @jmandtmbaby, was not sure I would have kids. DH and I decided to try in Nov 2017 and got 2 clear positive tests Jan 16. My EDD, based on last period, is Sept 22. I don't go to the doctor until Feb 7 and feel kinda like Schroedinger's Pregnancy right now. It happened pretty quickly, I kinda have symptoms maybe but also it's not unusual for me to feel tired in the afternoon generally (repeat for every symptom I might or might not be suffering from), but I haven't gotten a period so am probably actually pregnant?
I'm Heather! 3rd time mama over here in Florida! I am a doula and a midwife assistant so I'm pretty well versed when it comes to birth. I have two homebirths and I am planning my third. Excited to be on this journey with you ladies! I'm due Sept 22!
Hi everyone! FTM, been with hubby for almost 8 years. Currently doing my master's degree while working. I'm at 8w today and will finally have my first US Tuesday! So far the first trimester is pretty difficult, so I'm really looking forward to the second one. Nice to meet all of you
Hi everyone! Currently 9 weeks preg with baby #3 I am a full time SAHM to my 2.5 year old daughter and 7 year old son. I had my first US appt at 8 weeks and got to see baby and flickering heartbeat ♥️ Excited to find out the gender already! Congrats to all you other mamas and nice to meet you all
Hi there! FTM here. I have a super irregular cycle so I was telling myself I couldn’t be pregnant, but kept getting “peak” on CB advanced opk (I was taking them every 48 hours) for 6 days and finally decided to test 1/27. I tested in the afternoon with only 2 hour hold and the positive line was there before I could set the test down. Yay!! Based on when I think my od was we are due 9/27ish.
Really excited for this journey, but also paranoid about every little pain I have. Looking forward to having a group of people going through it at the same time.
I’m 6 weeks, 3 days pregnant with my second child. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was very active on the April 2013 board (different user name) and found it really helpful. Our group moved to Facebook and those ladies have become such great friends and an unparalleled support group - we even have yearly meet ups where 20ish women fly from all over the country to spend a long weekend together. My husband’s face was priceless when I told him I was flying from SoCal to Chicago to spend the weekend with a bunch of women I’d only ever interacted with on the internet. Anyway, I’m hoping this group will be as awesome, or at least as helpful on this new and exciting journey. A little about me, I’m 37 and love great food, wine, traveling, snowboarding, lounging on a beach... I was born and raised in the LA area, went to college in NYC, moved back to SoCal where I met my husband (been together 11 years, married 6). We decided to move back to Brooklyn where our daughter was born. I was lucky enough to have an uncomplicated pregnancy and was able to have the home birth I wanted. We’re back on the west coast and I’m hoping for another home birth this time around. Looking forward to getting to know everyone ❤️
I am pregnant with #2. DS is almost 14months old. My due date according to lmp was Aug 23, but ultrasound moved it to Sept 4th☺ looking forward to the months ahead with you gals
Helloooo! I used to be on The Bump back in 2013/2014 when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was a pretty active member of the July 2014 birth club under the name @likeanoldtimemovie, but I can't remember my password, naturally. I stopped contributing thanks to some major personal sh*t going down (like a husband who was cheating on me when I was 5 months pregnant and on), but I'm back, happily remarried, and mom to my 3-year-old girl and a new September baby!
I go to the doctor tomorrow, but based off my LMP, it's look like Sept. 28. I would normally assume I'm going to be October since my cycles are long, but I also have a feeling I'll need a repeat C-section so going to stick around here for a while. Yay!
Hi all! I am a STM and very excited about baby #2! DS is 27 months. I was semi-active in the Oct 2015 group but didn't keep up with it much once the kiddo and all the sleepless nights arrived. This baby is due Sept 21st, first OB appt will be Valentine's Day! I'm 31. Hubby and I live in the Denver/Boulder area. Originally from the midwest. I work and hubby is a SAHD. Excited to hang out with you all!
Hiiii everyone! I’m from New York. I’m 24 and a first time mom I’m 9 weeks and 5 days today... My due date is August 29 but I figured I’d join the September forum since my due date is so late in August.
I have really been feeling the symptoms of the first trimester. Nausea has been a killer and to add to that, the fatigue makes me pretty darn lazy! I’m counting down the days to the second trimester but trying to embrace every moment.
I look forward to hearing all of your stories. Boy does it help to know I’m not alone in this!
Hi everyone! I'm Heather, 35 year-old mom to a 2 1/2 year old, totally crazy, adorable boy down near Orlando, FL. We're due the 19th and kind of hoping for a girl to round it out. Excited to be back!!!
@swcm That’s awesome! I grew up in the Emporia, KS area and lived in KCMO for a year and then Olathe for 2 years. My husband is a HUGE Husker fan but is also from KS.
Morning from Toronto! First time mom to be here. We are expecting late September and are over the moon happy. At 6 weeks and 1 day I am feeling pretty good. Today we have our first appointment at a Midwifery collective and have a few others to visit over the next week so we can pick the Midwife that best suits our pregnancy journey.
I'm loving all the discussion here. I look forward to sharing with you all. Thanks for your posts, I am learning so much from you all.
Hey everyone! I’m unexpectedly expecting for the first time. My husband and I did not plan this, so we are floating through in oblivion learning a little each day. Due date is 9/17!
@wobblysaucer welcome! I was in the July 2014 club as well! Although, a lot of us migrated to a Facebook group early on so I wasn't super active in the bump club towards the end of my pregnancy.
4th time Mom here. My DH and I have three daughters, all as a result of Clomid. We were preventing and then one month we didn't and SURPRISE we are due in early September. We live in central British Columbia, Canada.

Hello everyone! I am a STM to a handsome son who is almost 20 months old. I got a BFP last week. My EDD is September 27th. I feel a ton of different emotions going into this pregnancy, mainly excitement with a bit of fear. Unfortunately, I suffered a mc last year. I am trying to remain positive. Glad to give and get support from everyone

Hey all! Im a STM from Florida. I’m going to be bouncing between Oct and September. EDD is Oct 5th but I think I ovulated early, plus will be a RCS likely in September. I have a December ‘15 little girl and am still close with some ladies from that board (I see you @spottedginger !) , so hoping to make some connections here as well!
TTC has been a journey for us. MMC before my daughter and then when I was pregnant the second time was diagnosed with a septate uterus which made me high risk and the likely cause of the miscarriage. In and out of the hospital last pregnancy, thought they’d have to take her at 30 weeks but she hung on tight and made it full term. Had a corrective surgery on my uterus this summer and am praying hard that that’s enough to make this pregnancy go smoothly! This baby is a Femara baby and we’re eagerly awaiting our first ultrasound next week. Can’t wait to get to know you all!
Hi I am a FTM. I am due Sept 21st. I am looking to find out information to help ease my anxiety about losing the baby during my pregnancy. Also any good tips about sleeping and allergy remedies. In addition it will be nice to tell people until the 12 week mark. Looking forward to hearing from you all. And congratulations!
