I’m Lindsey! I’m 28 years old and have been married since I was 18 to my husband who is amazing. He works full time for the National Guard. I love women’s health and caring for families. I’ve worked labor and delivery as an RN for 7+ years and am currently starting graduate school next week to be a Nurse Practitioner. I’m due February 5th with baby number 3! I have a 10 year old girl (I started young), a 6 year old girl, and we had a 5 week miscarriage in December. We tried for over 2 years to adopt but that was a long heartbreaking road. Once we decided to ttc it took another 15 months to get this bfp. I’m very hopeful about this pregnancy though because I’ve seen the heartbeat twice. Once at 5 weeks 2 days and again a few days ago. I have my official ultrasound at 8 weeks on June 26th. I can’t wait to get to know everyone!
Where in Washington, @litxlove? I'm WA born and raised
The Puyallup/ Graham area... how about you??
@litxlove I grew up in Ferndale (north of Bellingham) but now I live just north of Seattle (Edmonds). I basically stayed in the greater Seattle area after college (UW).
Hello all! I’ve been lurking for a week or so, and have decided to very cautiously introduce myself. I’m 33, DH is 34. We’ve been TTC #1 since 2015, and *TW* we have had 4 losses in the last year and a half *End TW* So yeah, I’m trying not to get my hopes up but for now I’m choosing to be optimistic. EDD 2/9 based on LMP. Hope I get to stick around to get to know some of you ladies!
Found out about a week ago that I am pregnant with baby #3. I am AMA this time around, and am anxiously awaiting my first appointment and ultrasound. Feeling a bit like a rookie since my youngest is 4.5! EDD is 2/13/19. Nice to 'meet' you all.
Hello! I’m 24, my boyfriend is almost 34, and this is our first baby! It was very much unplanned. He and I had broken up last year and have been seeing each other off and on since. We’re giving it another try and excited (scared shitless) to begin this journey. I’m only 6+ weeks and rather nervous. I can’t wait to have my ultrasound next week and then tell my family
Hi all, I live in New Zealand and am a 37 year old stay at home mom to a sweet 2 year old girl. I just found out I’m pregnant yesterday. It hasn’t quite sunk in it. *TW- had a couple of losses since DD so I’m cautiously optimistic at the moment. /TW
Hi all I am 26 First time parent, first time posting . due in February 8th, I look after my 4year nephew full time. Very nervous but also excited. If anyone has any good advice I'd love to know
Hi! I'm 27 and my husband and I are so excited to be expecting our first! My EDD based on LMP is Feb. 15! I'm anxiously awaiting my first OB appointment which isn't until I'm 10 wks, it feels like forever! Happy and excited for everyone here!
Welcome. So we can get to know *you* better, hop over to the knot and change your screen name. There is a post on how to do that. Glad you're here!
I did change my username before I posted. And if shows the correct username under my profile but still posted the knottie name...checking to see if when I post this comment if it’s correct
*edit* I see that it’s not so I’ll email someone about this. Sorry all!

Did you change it on theknot.com or from the app? Once you change it on theknot, log out of theknot AND thebump and log back in. Sometimes, it takes a few days.
Hi everyone! So this is my first pregnancy and it’s been so helpful to be able to read the information so that I know what’s normal! A little bit about me- I’m from New York. I’m 30 and my husband is 34 (no prior children). We have been married for about a year and we just moved bought a house and moved in in April. We realized there was one thing missing- a baby!
We conceived on our first try and we were surprised it happened so quickly, but very excited! I’m a nervous wreck during the first trimester, but it seems like I’m not alone. We found out about a week and a half ago and we are telling our families today (on Father’s Day)!
My due date is 2/12 right now. I go for my ultrasound on July 11, which will give us a better idea of how accurate that is.
I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with all of you : )
I’ve been part of the bump for around 7 years now. EDD is 2/11, but I’m pretty sure I O’ed late so we will just have to wait for the ultrasound to confirm the exact due date. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Hey Ladies! My name is Maddie and I’m 31. My DH and I have been together about 4 years, but got married almost a month ago and we have a 2yo DS. DS was a complete surprise, so this was our first time intentionally TTC. We got our BFP three days before LMP. Our EDD is 2/23/18. So far feeling more fatigued than usual, but overall pretty good.
Hello! I’ve been a member since 2014 and was part of D14 but couldn’t remember my sign in for the life of me, so I’m new again. This is going to be #2 for us. We have a 3.5 year old daughter. I’m 33 next week and H is 40. As far as I know my EDD is 2/19 but we’re working on defining that with the MW next week. Short backstory, we “pulled the goalie” beginning of the year, decided about two weeks ago that we should stop trying until next year...and here we are. Lol. Couple days of shock but now we’re thrilled and ready.
Hello everyone! I'm 29 and this will be my first. My husband and I have been TTY since January. We had a miscarriage in March at 6w5d, so I'm anxious yet hopeful for this one. I'm currently 5w1d, so far so good! EDD is 2/16.
Hi! DH and I have been married for 4 years. DS is 14 months. I’m a SAHM. This was a totally opps. I should be around 4w right now with a late February dd. I’m super close with my A17 ladies, although we migrated to FB, and I am looking forward to walking this path with y’all.
Totally random lurking so excuse me while I call out @ginger1228@LuLiLaEv and @squirttheturtle for their sneaky sneakiness. Lol congrats ladies! So happy for the three of you. At least I have some where else to stalk and see how you lovely ladies are doing. Not joining you though. No baby in this belly.
BFP May 2013 - MMC at 8 weeks BFP September 2013 - MMC at 12 weeks BFP February 2014 - early loss/CP at 4.5 weeks BFP May 2014 - MMC/ complete molar pregnancy at 11 weeks BFP December 2015 - DD born 8/18/2015 BFP November 2016 - pending...

I saw you intro’ed and got so excited thinking you were joining us!
I am 32 yrd old, live in Guelph Ontario Canada & have been married for almost 1 yr (July 7). My husband & I have been together for 10 yrs & are very bless to have gotten pregnant on our 1st try. I am now 6w3d (my little sweet pea). We are keeping this a secret until after our 1st scan in 3 weeks so this forum has been very helpful. Congrats to all!!
So happy to be here (it still doesn't feel real.) DH and I have been married for 6 years and this will be #3 for us. We have a 4yo boy and 2yo girl and we are excited to be "team green" for the first time. My EDD based on LMP is 2/23.
Cautiously introducing myself. BFP came about a week ago. Going today for first set of betas. My (4) kids range in age from 18-5. Edd 2/17/19.
I come from a big family with a wide age range between 23-4. I’m the oldest and 19 years older than my 4yo sister. I absolutely love the spread out ages; it can be so much fun.
Hello! I’m so happy to be here with all of you! First time posting. I’m 29 and my DH is 31. We’ve been married nearly 6 weeks, and together for 8 years. TW we had two miscarriages in the last 6 months; so, we are cautiously optimistic. We found out my body was attacking my thyroid, which may have contributed. Taking synthroid and progesterone. End TW. Today we’re five weeks, EDD 2/18/19. We have 3 betas last week, we more than doubled each time and we have an ultrasound scheduled on June 29th. I imagine most of us wish time would speed up to these first appointments! Im trying to enjoy and be mindful of each day in this pregnancy including the early symptoms. Im thankful for those daily reminders of symptoms and find comfort in them. Here’s to healthy pregnancies and babies for us all ❤️ Looking forward to getting to know you all
Hey everybody! DH and I have a perfect 11mo son. Just got our bfp after an early mc 2 cycles ago. Conceiving our DS took 2 a d a half years as I have endometriosis and pcos, so we are shocked that it has happened so quickly this time. Looking forward to meeting you lovely ladies
Hi everyone! I'm a 31 yo graphic designer. First pregnancy, due Feb 4, 2019! My first appointment with OB is next week. I'll be both teaching and finishing my thesis work this fall for a masters degree, so I'm a little nervous about juggling that with a pregnancy, but this was planned, so I knew what I was signing up for! Anyway, I'm SO glad to have found this board, and look forward to getting to know you guys!
Hi- I'm 32, DH is 30. Married 2 1/2 years. Our daughter is 10mos old (Hi any Aug. 2017 mamas). Not planned, were thinking of having them a little further apart- but we are very excited. EDD is 2/20 based on 1st day of last cycle. Did the blood draw on Friday, so awaiting the official YES- but the three tests at home and my exhaustion all point to Yes.
TW: 1 infant loss 8/17: Our daughter was born 8/18: Our daughter kicked open heart surgery ass 2/19: We lost our son to Prader-Willi/Paradoxical Vocal Cord/ Noonans at 6wks old 4/26/2020: EDD for baby #3!!!

You got this! I found out I was pregnant two weeks before starting my masters and I just finished my thesis in January with my 3 year old. It’s tough but the end game is worth it .
Hi! I have been married for 8 years. This is baby #1. TTC since 2012. After many failed IVF treatments resigned ourselves to being child free and then found out we were pregnant, want to make God laugh tell him your plans. Very excited, haven’t seen the doctor (insurance, referrals, etc.) but staying very positive. Looking forward to going through this with everyone.
Hello all! So happy to be on a BMB! I have two LOs already (DS is 3 and DD will be 1 in nine days!) DH and I have been married almost 5 years; he's a civil engineer and I'm a nurse practitioner and we call the Bay Area home. Looking forward to getting to know everyone as we get closer to our due dates. Happy, healthy and blessed 9 months to us all!
Hi! H and I have been together for four years, this is our second DD is 3 years old. Haven't been to doctor, first visit is July 19. EDD based on LMP is Feb 18. Anxious to see the ultrasound and hear that heart beat! I thought I'd be more relaxed this time but am anxious for reassurance that all is well.
Hey! I am very timidly here. *tw* This is pregnancy #7 and we have 2 beautiful rainbow girls that are 3.5 and 1.5. We had just decided we were done having babies when I tested last week and had a digital bfp. We just went through a miscarriage in April so this is definitely shocking to us. *end tw* I had betas done yesterday and will have them again Thursday because I'm uncertain of how far along I am. All of my pregnancies include hyperemesis and hyperactive thyroid issues so it's always a long road. Anyways, our first scan is July 13 and we're anxiously waiting for that!

Hello everyone! I’m also going to very cautiously introduce myself here. I’m 32, DH is 35 and we have been married for 4 years, together for 10. We have a 2.5 yo DS who is just the best little boy ever. I was not very active in my first BMB (Nov 15), but am hopig to be more active here. *TW* I have experienced 2 early losses in the last 6 months, so am really hoping for our rainbow baby this time around! *End TW* I had two betas last week with great numbers and will have my first u/s a week from today on 6/26! Cant wait to get to know all of you!
Hello! Joining the group a little late, but I wanted to introduce myself to you all. My name is Chelsea, I’m 23 (24 next month) and married to my best friend for almost 2 years. We are expecting our first baby in February! I am 7 weeks along and have my first OBGYN appt next Monday, June 25th. Hubby and I are so excited!
