Hello!! I'll be 6 weeks Friday and as of today, have started to officially feel like crap (in a good way). EDD July 5. This is my first planned pregnancy, at 32 - DH is 41. I'm nervous and tentatively excited!
Hi ladies! I introduced myself on the waiting room thread but I’ll do a formal intro now! I’m Melissa, I’m 26 years old and 6w pregnant with baby #2 - edd July 1st! I have an almost 3 year old daughter and I’m a stay at home mom to her and have been since she was born in February 2016. My husband and I have been married 3 years, together for 6 and are so excited to be adding to our family, we tried for 16 cycles with no luck so this baby definitely feels like a little miracle already!
Really looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!
Hi ladies! I’m currently pregnant with baby number 4, this will hopefully be our 3rd living child. EDD is July 3rd. I’m currently have ridiculous food aversion, but other than that I feel fine. I currently have two sons , a singleton age 3.5 and survivor-twin 2.5. DH and I have decided to go team green this pregnancy as this will definitely be our last baby.
I am 26, plus size yogi. I enjoy hiking and being outside in general. My goal is to stay as healthy as possible this pregnancy and stay active as long as it’s safe for me and lo.
Hi momma's! CONGRATS to you all! We found out this weekend I'm pregnant with baby #3😊 I have two boys (5 and 2) and we are hoping this one is a girl. EDD is July 14th so I'm pretty early. But I'm excited to share this journey with all of you!
OK, gals, just that quick I'm bowing back out -- IN A GOOD WAY! Had an ultrasound today where they confirmed Baby is doing just fine, and measuring big enough that they bumped up my due date almost a week (where they had been right on the June 30/July 1 line, now they think June 25). So since I'll be solidly June, not July, I'll back out here, and wish you all a healthy and happy nine months!
It’s about time they opened this board up! Mom 37 and (hopefully) pregnant with our first. We’ve been TTC for 10 years, did 8 or 9 IUIs, 2 surgeries, IVF, 3 failed frozen embryo cycles, one successful double FET that turned out to be a chemical and an ectopic, then one more failed double embryo transfers. We just transferred out final 3 embryos (#8,9,&10) and something took! EDD based on FET is 7/7/19 so I’m 5w3d today. For sono is next week and I am just hoping and praying we see 1 or 2 heartbeats. It’s been a long road and I’m ready for it to be our turn!
Hi everyone! I’m not new to the bump but haven’t posted much since 2015. I have a three year old daughter and am pregnant with number 2. I think I am about 4+3 but won’t know for sure until my first appointment because my last cycle was crazy with multiple OPKs and poor temping on my part.
I am happy to be here ... pregnant with my 4th .. my husband and I are both 40 😊... took us 10 months to conceive this time . Hoping and praying all goes well for a safe and healthy pregnancy ❤️... my due date is July 10
Excited for the group to be open finally. I'm 35yo and this will be my first. I'm trying not to get excited (which is getting hard) until after the first trimester consequences of working in a high risk pregnancy field. I haven't gotten official testing but have had a few off the books ultrasounds from colleagues so by lmp due date is 7/5/18 and by ultrasound looks like 7/4/18. I did get to hear the hearbeat at 5w3d. Once I get to 7 wks safely I will schedule my 1st prenatal appointment.
Hello! I'm 32 and will be 33 when the baby comes. My husband is 35. We have been married about 1.5 months but we have been together 7 years. First child for the both of us. My EDD according to my LMP is 7/8/19. Extremely anxious. Just cramps and no nausea! Glad I have others to talk to!
Hi! Just found out we’re expecting baby #3 July 12ish!? We will have 3 under 3😁. We have a 2 year old and 8 month old! We’re scared and excited for this new baby!! Made my first prenatal appt in December at a new birth center Near us! So excited cause last baby we had to drive 90 mins😆
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

I've gone back and forth about posting here but I wanted my TTCAL ladies to know I didn't abandon them. My husband and I are both 31 and we have an amazing 5 year old son. We've been TTC a sibling for a year and have had 4 losses in that time. Most recently was a devastating MMC at 14 weeks in June of a genetically normal baby girl. I don't know how active I'll be on this board during 1st tri as it's hard to believe this baby will stick. EDD would be 7/20 if all goes well.

I'm due with our first on July 1st! 💕 Super excited because we've been ttc for almost a year but I have to say it's been a rough pregnancy so far. I started feeling nauseated at wk 3 and took a pregnancy test. Since then, I've seemed to of experienced every unpleasant symptom. I have been so sick and don't get anything done in the day. I'm very fortunate that I work from home so I can rest when needed but cannot wait to go into the 2nd trimester where I've heard you get some relief! In the meantime, our first doctor's appointment is a week from today, can't believe how fast it's already going! 😊
Hi ladies! I've been waiting to post, and then going back and forth on if I should since I had joined the June '19 BMB, only to have to leave it a few short days later. Right now I'm due on 7/11. I'm almost 33 and DH is 32 and this would be our 2nd! DS is 15 months. I've had 3 betas so far and my levels seem to be rising well so good news there! I'll be getting an ultrasound in 2 weeks with my RE and if everything looks good, then I'll be going to my OB. I was super active with my August '17 BMB and still talk to those ladies pretty much every day so I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Hi all, I'm happy to see that our board finally exists!
I'm tentatively due on 7/5. I have 3 boys, ages 8, 5, and 2. Assuming all goes well, this will be last pregnancy ending in VBAC #3. My first was born via c-section due to a failed induction/high birth weight baby. I'm hoping for a girl but I think I'm going to mildly torture myself on team green for the sake of a nice surprise at the end.

I was part of the April 2019 board earlier this year, but sadly that pregnancy was a blighted ovum. It hasn't been long since my D&C so I've been really anxious since receiving my positive test. I'm having mood swings, I'm feeling fatigued, and overall pretty much a festering ball of blahhh. I'm trying to use distraction to cope (video games!) and not pay too much attention to where I am in terms of individual weeks/days.
Hello! I’m 12 DPO today and got my positive pregnancy test yesterday at 11DPO. Tested again today and line getting stronger! Woohoo! If everything goes well, EDD July 20.
I’m happily married over 6 years, one son turned two in September. Can’t believe I’m starting this pregnancy journey again.
I am SO excited! Was waiting to test until today as its been 2 weeks from my LH surge and decided to try last night just to see if there would be a faint line, thought I’d have to guess and squint and boom... clear two lines, followed with a digital test and yup we are pregnant! I’m turning 25 next month and my husband 25 and I are super excited! This will be our first baby and we are so thrilled. Dr appointment on monday, so excited!
Hi! I am Caitlin. I am about 3 minutes pregnant with #3. I am soon to be 37, newly transplanted from VA to Seattle. I love seeing so many moms with kids on here! My last board was mostly new moms. I have a 4.5 year old girl and 11 month old boy. It took us 2 years and 3 IUI's to get our son, so to say I am a little shocked right now would be an understatement. This baby has an expected DD of 7/22, but both my kids came 2 weeks early, so DD and #3 might share her 7/11 bday:) I hope that I can stick around and get to know you ladies. I was pretty active on 12/17 and 7/14, I love this community!
Momma to Amelia Marie (7/14) and Austin Samuel (11/17). Adding baby (girl) #3 on 7/21
Hi. This will hopefully be my third baby. Im having a hard time knowing how to feel about this. I have a 5 year old and an almost 3 year old.
TW. . . I’ve had three miscarriages in a year. I’ve had a lot of tests done. It turns out I have a clotting disorder. I had a lot of problems with my second pregnancy. All of them are symptoms of clotting disorders. I have a mthfr gene mutation. I went to the doctor Tuesday to check my hcg, progesterone and clotting levels. Hcg looked good my progesterone is low. So I’m taking progesterone 3 times a day to hopefully bring that up. I’m taking lovenox shots once a day and an aspirin, along with a slew of vitamins. I am hoping so hard this one sticks.
Hello there! I’m Olivia. I’m almost 22 years old. I’ve been married to my high school sweet heart for 2 year and we’ve been together for 6! I have a 2 boys ages 3 & 2 and one day before my missed period I just got a very faint positive today! I’m so scared but so excited!! Can’t wait to learn from you all and follow along on our journies together!
July mamas! I'm new to this (first pregnancy) I am 5 weeks and 4 days.... when are you guys planning on telling everyone?! I've told a few people close to me 💞☺
Hi! Cautiously intro’ing after my first u/s today. I’m 38 - would be 39 if it sticks. Almost 6 weeks with EDD of 7/6.
****tw*****
This would be baby #3 for me. DS2 just turned 4 and DS1 died when he was 2.5 years old. We’ve been TTC for 3 years and had a bunch of m/c and two rounds of IVF with no viable embryos. I was NTNP while we regrouped on the next steps and here I am! Betas are good and a yolk sac was seen today so.... here I am for now.
Hi everyone! So glad our board finally opened! I’m Nora, I’m 34, and live in Denver, CO. I’m 5 weeks +3 today with our 2nd child. We have a 3 yr old son who is absolutely ecstatic to be a big brother. He keeps asking “mommy is your belly getting big?” 😆 I still keep in touch with my July 2015 moms so I’m excited to join this go around also. Just started having some evening nausea the past 3 days but otherwise feeling pretty good.
Hey all! I’m Meg, 28, and due 7/22. I have two girls, 5&7, from a previous marriage. DH has a son from a previous marriage (6). We got married on May 4 so this was a very unexpected surprise. We’re both super excited but cautious.
After my 5 y/o DD was born, I said good bye to the bump not expecting to be back ever again. Well here I am and it has changed so much!! I look forward to getting to know you all more. Happy and healthy 9 months!
Hey there ladies! I'm on attempt #3 but even then it's been a wild ride. My EDD is 7/15 . So Monday I tested with a vvvvfl on a frer but come Weds I started to bleed to I figured I had a CP. It was super light and weird but yesterday (thursday) it just stopped. I got home and tested with an internet cheapy and it was a very obvious positive and then tested again this morning and it was even darker. So! I guess some period like implantation bleeding. Glad to be here!
Hello everyone! I’ll soon be 37 yo, I have a 4 yo boy, 1 miscarriage last year at 9 weeks , and currently 4 wks 4 days. I had an event this year which was very much like a miscarriage but not confirmed because I didn’t take a test. I’m happy and scared. I had to take Clomid for all pregnancies including this , except one (don’t like the side effects). I’m excited about this but my nerves are something else. This morning I mistakenly ate Brie cheese(warm) and when I realized what I was eating I went into panic thinking of listeria poisoning. I’m glad this forum finally opened because I think I’m really going to need the help emotionally. I hope I can benefit someone here too if needed. Here’s to happy healthy pregnancies, babies and births.
Hi all! I am 34 and have one little boy who will be two next month and we are expecting #2 on July 6th! We worked with an RE this time and this was our 3rd IUI. I had my first ultrasound this morning at 5w6d and we could see the heartbeat at 117. So excited to be here! I have been active on TTGP both times, but never joined my last BMB and I've regretted it ever since, so I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.
Re: YAY!!!!!! July 2019 Mamas introduce yourselves :)
