Hello lovely ladies. I am so happy to be here! A little about myself. I am married and my husband is a CO who works night shifts. It is very hard and stressful but we make it work. We have a beautiful 5 year old daughter who has been begging for a sibling for years. Unfortunately, we have been going through secondary infertility for over 4 years. We had all the tests done, medication, and IUIs. Our next step was IVF, but we were taking a break for now. Then, out of the blue I got a bfp on Wednesday. To say we were shocked was an understatement!!!
I just had my second blood draw today and everything is looking good so I thought I stop by and say hi here! My edd is 11/26!
Hi all! I am a STM joining! I love TB and am still in touch every day with my first BMB. My plan was to rejoin the TTGP board once we started TTC but life had other plans and I’m now pregnant. It was an amazing surprise and we’re really excited about it, although cautiosly so. I’m like two seconds pregnant, though, at 4w1d, which puts me at an EDD of 11/30. I’m excited to join another BMB and looking forward to starting some new amazing friendships like with my previous one
I'm 5 weeks and 5 days.**TW** I am hesitant to post as I've experienced two miscarriages last year. My first was 7/19/17 at 7 weeks, baby stopped growing around 5 weeks. The second was 10/15/17, also about 5 weeks. I have an appointment on Tues. I have PCOS and my SO and I have been TTC since 8/2016. We live in Southern AZ with our fur babies, a rescue greyhound and two sugar gliders. I am a 911 dispatcher and a full time student, he is a government contractor and also a full time student. School will be wrapping up for him around the time our baby is due (EDD 11/20/18).
Me: 34 - SO: 40 TTC #1 since 8/2016 FINALLY diagnosed with anovulatory PCOS 11/2016 (Insulin resistance and multiple cysts on both ovaries) Miscarriage on 7/19/17 at 7 weeks Miscarriage on 10/16/17 at 5 weeks
Im a little late to this party but hoping to still jump in. I am 36 and my partner is 38. We have an almost 2 year old (June birthday) at home and we have been TTC this little peanut since I weaned my first from breastfeeding last May. TW: I had an EARLY miscarriage back in August and previous history of loss. So although I am excited to be here, I am NERVOUS! I keep taking pregnancy tests because I just like seeing those lines pop up.
First appointment April 18th for all the work up and scan and currently and EDD of November 29th, but I have a feeling that will change a bit after my first appointment. Thinking good thoughts for all of us on this journey!
I"m late to the party as well, but wanted to post. Currently pregnant with IVF twins that are due Nov. 8, 2018 - will more than likely come in October, but trying to stay as positive and optimistic as possible.
Hello! FTM here, located in WI. We think we are due November 19, but never got my period after getting my IUD out, so a ballpark estimate our doctor has made before she could confirm. Super excited but also nervous
Hi everyone! I'm 38 and DH is 50. We have 2 boys together (almost 10 and 5). He has a son from his first marriage, almost 22. This is my 4th pregnancy. We've struggled with infertility but I got my bfp a couple weeks ago. Hcg beta was 505 and I'm have an early ultrasound next Thursday.
I am a cyber security consultant and travel quite a bit for work.
Hi everyone, I am Holly and we're expecting baby #3 the 26th. We have two amazing daughters ages 2 and 5 who have been asking for a little brother. I have been a little nervous to post because last summer we had an early loss, however I feel cautiously optimistic on this one. With our daughters both coming late, I was torn on joining this one or December. Either way, excited to share this adventure with others! Congrats everyone!
Finally pregnant with baby #2!! DH and I have a 2.5 year old daughter— I’m so excited to give her a sibling! We had an ectopic pregnancy last August after trying for several months and circumstances kept us from being able to try again until now.
I’m currently about 5 weeks, which puts me at the end of November for my EDD. I was 2 weeks late with DD so I’m fully expecting a December birth but I was too excited so I’m joining this board for now. Got my BFP a few days ago and my first prenatal appointment is 4/9. Can’t wait to get to know everyone!!
ETA: I was on the August ‘15 board w/ my first. Is anyone else from there?
Hi all! My name is Shannon and this is my first pregnancy. I’m American but my husband and I love in Geneva, Switzerland. Any other expat moms to be here?
Congrats everyone! I guess as of my BFP a few hours ago I could be part of this group or dec, EDD would be Nov 30.
This will be baby #2, we jave a 2 1/2 year old.
I'm nervous to tell DH since we've been trying to avoid, but were planning to start trying in a month or two anyways. He's waiting to find out if he was approved for a permit he needs for his business so it's a stressful time for him, plus he will be coming home from the dentist in a lot of pain. Then again, timing will never be perfect. So excited though!
Hello! I am currently a little over 6 weeks with my second child, EDD of 11/18. I'm on the older side at 38. I have a 3.5 year old daughter and I am a dentist. My husband travels a lot for work and I'm already nervous how I'm gonna handle 2 little ones :-)
My first apt is Friday the 13th (yikes!). Finding it doesn't quite seem real yet and I'll feel much better after that first check in!
Hello! I’ve been lurking but was too scared to post before my first appointment. I am 8 weeks, due November 7th.
I’m 36 years old, married for almost 12 years, and this will be our 3rd child (5th pregnancy.) I have an 8 year old son and a 4 year old daughter.
This pregnancy was a complete surprise as I have a medical condition that will cause both pregnancy and labor/delivery to be high risk. I am both excited and terrified.
The Bump board with my 4 year old was an amazing support (and continues to be an amazing support as we are still close in a FB group) and I’m hopeful to find that support and encouragement here. I’m looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi I'm Lindsay. I haven't been on this since my daughter was born she's 7 now. I have hyperemesis with all my pregnancies. I have a 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter. Had two miscarriages and now pregnant. Going for my first on appt tomorrow. But I have already seen the baby through ultrasound at the er. I had to starting taking nasuea medicine already. Ugh. I'm here to have some mommies to talk to since I'm a stay at home mom again. 8 weeks due 11/6
Hi yall. ill be 21 when i have my first. So exciting but also nerve racking. My expected date is Nov 15th. So excited to be a momma. Im from the small little rhode island.
Hey everyone! I'm Maya & 43yrs old. I am due on 11/10 (when I'm 44!). Our first kidlet just turned 3yrs old. The DH and I both work behind the scenes in healthcare. We also plan to move from TN to PA. Before or after the baby arrives is still up in the air. Yikes! My first ultrasound is next week. I'm nervous and excited all at once!
Hi! I'm so excited to be here! This is my 6th pregnancy. I have 4 girls, aged 6, 4, 2, and 18 months. I had a miscarriage at about 6 weeks, in October. I'm currently about five weeks along right now. I've been trying to avoid getting sucked into all things baby but I am so excited. I think my only friend that knows about this pregnancy is getting tired of hearing about it. We moved after our last was born and I got rid of all the baby stuff. I sold most of it, it wasn't worth the hassle of storing. So I get to pick out all new baby gear also! That's really exciting, and I'm trying to keep from setting up a registry. I probably won't share the registry, it'll just be a good place to keep track of what we need. Unless we're having a boy! If we're having a boy, I anticipate lots of gifts from my husband's family.
edit: I noticed a lot of people are adding their ages. I'm 27. I will be 28 when baby is born. Oh, and my EDD is 11/28/18. My first appointment and ultrasound is the 17th.
Hello I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow with a Thanksgiving Day EDD. This is my 4th and very very likely last. I haven't been on the bump forums since my first back in 2008.
Hi N18! I got my BFP last week. I don't actually know my due date as I'm still breastfeeding my youngest and haven't really had a period yet sooo....
I have three children, 6, 3, and 11 mos. This is my ninth pregnancy and right now, I'm not experiencing a lot of symptoms so I'm not terribly optimistic.. but for the moment, I'm pregnant and will enjoy my time with my little dot. I had my second round of betas today and U/S April 12.
Here's to a h&h 9 months.

Hello! I am 29 years old with an amazing husband and wonderful 5 year old son. I am a previous member of Aug 2012 BMB and had been active sporadically on TTGP for around 2 years now. According to LMP my due date should be Nov 26th. After two years of negative pregnancy tests (and one early loss a little over a year ago) I am so dang excited to be here! I look forward to getting to know all of you and pray I get to stay on this board with you!
@bswishe4 Welcome! Besides the 5 year old son, we seem to be living parallel lives. I'm 29 years old too, and after a year and a half of infertility, my EDD is November 27. Hoping for happy & healthy pregnancies for everyone!
I was a member of oct18 birth club but miscarried on the first of Feb so imagine my surprise when I got a BFP my next cycle! It's been a rough few months with two early miscarriages, one in August and the Feb one but I'm just grateful to be here.
I almost joined the dec club but my due date by my OBs calc is November 29 so I barely made it in here
My DD was 2 in February and she is the light of my life. DH and I are positive this will be a full term pregnancy, she's been itching for a sibling!
We live in Lagos, Nigeria and we love travelling. I'm 30 and DH turned 35 yesterday!
This will be my first. DH and I were thinking of trying next year but this little one had other plans. I AM SO EXCITED! I just turned 31, been married 5.5 years and DH just turned 32. I am 8w6days and my DD is Nov 4th.
DH and I are internationals, so with no relatives in the country, I am very thankful to have discovered this community.
@kyates42 congratulations! I am due Nov4th so around the same date as you. It will also be my first. So glad for you that you didn't wait too long after the surgery! ☺️
Hi ladies! I'm 37. I have 3 boys 13, 12 and 6. My 2nd marriage produced my surprise baby girl 16 months ago. But fast forward to 2 weeks ago SUPER SURPRISE #5. WHAT. I was on the pill since my daughter but God laughed. I'm 5 weeks along. Thank you for keeping me sane gals!
Hi, ladies! I'm very late to the party, but better late than never, right? Anyway, I'm roughly 7w2d with an aproximate EDD of 11/15, waiting on the official word from my OB. This is my 7th pregnancy. I have a rainbow, DS who just turned 2. I'm hoping this sweet baby will be my second rainbow. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

I'm 28 and DH is 23. My EDD based on LMP is November 24th so that puts me at just shy a day of 6 weeks.
My first appointment is April 11th
Looking forward to everyone's pregnancy journey
