Second-time mom intro! DH and I are both 32 with one DS (M) who just turned 2 in October along with a little dutch furbunny named Bobo. Little one is due around July 23/24. This should be our last pregnancy, as we're planning on foster-to-adopting a third when the kids start elementary school.
This is our third pregnancy, and we're cautiously optimistic this bean will stick around. *TW* We had a CP two cycles ago, which was a tad traumatic as DH was out of the country for work and I was alone without support for a few days until he could get back. But hoping that the BFP this time is a full week earlier is a good sign and that M will have a sibling come next summer.
Hi new here my name is Sidney. mom of two beautiful kids. six year old daughter ezra and five year old son zephyr. Now one due july 12th we are 5 weeks today Im so excited.
Hello! I’m Carly! First time mom. I’ve been TTC since April and got my positive on 11/4! I’ll be five weeks tomorrow and my EDD is July 13th! I’m super excited!!!
Hi everyone! I'm Melanie. My husband and I are both 29, have been together for 13 years, and married for 6. This is our first baby and I am SO excited. We've tried on and off for about 3 1/2 years and I just had my first fertility workups done during my October cycle (everything came back looking great!) and to our surprise we got pregnant that cycle! Expected due date is July 14th!
Hello, ladies! I've been on a multi-year hiatus from TB but am happy to be back! I found out earlier this week that I'm pregnant with what will hopefully be our third. I have a 7 year old son and a 3 year old daughter at home. I've had three losses, one late first trimester loss in 2010, a 24 week stillbirth in 2014, and a chemical earlier this year.
DH and I are both 35 but will be 36 by July. We've struggled with fertility issues (in addition to our losses) and were ready to call it quits and finally purge all the baby stuff after this cycle; apparently my body wanted to procrastinate until the last possible moment, and then...SURPRISE! After losing our stillborn daughter four years ago, my doctor drew most of the blood from my body and ran a bajillion tests. I found out I have a MTHFR mutation and a Protein S deficiency, so I take aspirin daily and jab myself in the stomach with Lovenox shots to hopefully increase the likelihood of bringing this LO home this summer.
Looking forward to getting to know all of you better!
ETA: My EDD is 7/20
November 2010 - 10.5 week loss October2011 - DS (7) July 2014 - Stillborn DD (24 weeks) August 2015- DD (3) April 2018 - 5 week loss
Just got a BFP yesterday I'll be 34 in January and from the Southern Boston Massachusetts/Rhode Island/Cape Cod area. I'm a theatre teacher and DH is a music teacher. We met at work and have been married for almost 2 years.
**TW this is my 2nd pregnancy after an MC in August. End TW**
We are very early along and cautiously excited/optimistic. I just keep telling myself all babies start somehow. This could be mine.
Back to try again 😁 I am 36 and the husband is 31. This is our second, due July 2. Our first is 15 months and has tons of energy! Our first appointment is at 9 weeks. Can't wait to see that little heartbeat!
Hello there! Been waiting to really join in here till I got to see my lil Bean's heart beat and that was today! 6w4d due July 1. Looking forward to getting to know and support all you July ladies.
Hi there! I am Christine. I am a 41 year old teacher and this is surprise baby #5. My other kiddos are 15 (almost 16), 13 (almost 14), 11 and 7, so it feels like we are truly starting over. Not to mention that I am pretty OLD compared to where I was with my others. lol My due date is July 2nd, but won't know for sure until my appointment in later November. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hi ladies! This is my first, and I’m so excited to have a community to lean to! We’re waiting til Christmas to tell and I’m dying not being able to talk to my friends about it, so I’m happy to have a group I can talk to 😀 I’m 30 from MN and my EDD is July 10th.
Hey ladies! I’m so excited to be joining you on this adventure. I’m 31 (will be 32 a time time of birth) and this is our second child. DD is 9 months old , so we are joining the 2 under 2 club! I’m a little nervous as my last pregnancy ended with an early delivery due to pre-e scares. Here’s hoping we all have a H&H pregnancy! Our EDD is 7/5.
We had MFI and a tube blocked so we went to IVF after 2.5 years of trying on our own. We had the egg retrieval in September and had our first frozen embryo transfer on 10/30. I had my first beta on Thursday and our EDD is July 18th.
I'm going to miss the crap out of the TTPG ladies, but i'm so excited to meet you all.
Hi all, I’m 34 and live in NYC, my fiancé is 37 and this is our first following a previous early miscarriage almost 3 years ago. EDD July 15th. In the middle of planning our New Year’s Eve wedding when whoops got a positive test the first month we decided to “relax” on the birth control. Glad I didn’t get that final dress fitting yet! Will also leave the first trimester the week of New Year’s so maybe that’s the perfect time to announce!
Hi ladies! Cannot believe I am joining in here. I just got a BFP today. This will be my third babe. I have a 2 year old and 9 month old. I only had one pp period and had a few bfns in between then and now so not exactly sure when I'm due, but thinking around July 22nd. My two previous pregnancies were high risk due to ICP and chances are high I will get it again so we will see. I loved being a part of my other BMB and excited to get to know you ladies! Congrats to everyone!!
Beyond excited to be part of this group! I’m 31 DH is 35. I have a 9 year old daughter from previous marriage. We’ve been trying since July and got our BFP on 11/9. So due date is calculated for July 20th... our oldest nieces birthday! 😁 We are waiting to tell family until Christmas. Trying to come up with plan to tell daughter the week before in hopes we can get first appointment for that week and include her. However, planning for a melt down as she’s been adamant she doesn’t want a baby brother or sister. 😳 I welcome any tips for telling older child that may not be excited by the news!!
@abmeier welcome and congratulations! That sounds like a tough. I would probably just be forthright and gentle. Comfort her, acknowledge her feelings and let her know that you understand how hard of change it is. Maybe ask her some of her biggest worries or fears so that you can try to answer those now or work toward finding some good solutions together so that she doesn’t feel totally out of control.
Hello July BMB! Cautiously introducing myself here. I debated waiting until after my first scan but figured I would just be lurking.
****tw**** This is my third pregnancy in 2018. I had a 6 week loss in May and then a 9 week loss in July due to Trisomy 22. end tw
Just got my BFP and told DH this morning. Holding out hope that this will be our next little miracle. Currently a mama to my almost 3yo son. Looking forward to getting to know all of you better.
Hey mommas due the July 19 funny because that was my 15yr old due date but she was a week late. I'm 34 and my O.h is also 34. We're scared of starting over our youngest is in kindergarten and the oldest in the 10th grade and a 2nd grader in the middle. Looking forward for this new journey
Hi everyone! My name is Jess and I got my BFP this morning. I’m 4 weeks and 1 day with an EDD of July 20th! I’ll be a FTM and my husband and I are currently dog parents to a 2 year old golden. I’m 32...soon to be 33. Super excited to be here.
@nopegoat I'm doing a bit of lurking tonight. I'm so excited for you and I hope this is your rainbow baby!

Hi, I’m Lauren and this is my 4th baby! My husband and I have been married 7 years and we have a 5.5 year old boy, 4 year old boy, 14 month old girl and this baby is due July 6th. We weren’t planning a 4th so this was definitely a shock but I’m coming around to it.
Hello and congrats to all! I am a first timer here, EDD July 17th. My symptoms started about a week ago- they’ve been waxing and waning, and I keep trying to tell myself that’s normal based on everything I’ve been reading on here. DH and I are so excited, this will be my parents’ first grandbaby, and we plan on telling family at Christmas. My first doctor’s appointment is December 4.
Hi!! My name is Debbie. I'm 41 years old. I'm so sorry this is so long. I've been happily married since November 2002. We decided in 2011 to start trying to conceive.
My first appt with my doc to talk about trying to get pregnant was in February 2012. From October 2012 through May 2013 I went through 6 unsuccessful rounds of Clomid. I was diagnosed with PCOS and then found out through an HSG that I'm missing my right fallopian tube, which was a complete surprise.
In October 22, 2014, I had an IUI with another round of Clomid. When that failed the doctor wouldn't do another IUI because of my age...
2015ish... We are no longer TTC. After almost 3+ years, and several failed attempts, we decided to stop trying.
On November 27, 2017 I had gastric bypass. By July I'd lost about 100# since my heaviest weight and as today I've lost almost 114#.
On July 13, 2018, I randomly decided to take a test and to my complete and utter shock it was positive. After years of being told it wasn't possible I didn't believe it. Unfortunately, it ended in miscarriage in August. Baby had stopped developing though someone in July.
And now I'm pregnant again. I found out on November 7, 2018. It was a very faint positive, but I'll take it. I even went to the lab at my medical facility and had a UA to verify and it was positive there too.
I'm so nervous that this one will end the same as the other, so instead of getting excited like I want I'm staying cautiously optimistic.
Again, sorry this is so long. It's been quite the journey...
Hello everyone! I'm 34 and we just found out that I'm pregnant with baby #3. I have two daughters who are 5 and 2. We were not completely sure about having a third but we went for it and I'm still in a bit of a shock that this is all happening. A year ago we were so certain that we were done having children. But the more we thought about it, the idea of a larger family really sounded great to us. I keep thinking about Christmas time next year with three kids around the tree. My family and friends will be so shocked when we tell them the news as no one new we were ttc. I thought this would get easier third time around but I'm still so nervous that this baby will be healthy. I'm overwhelmed thinking about how this baby will fit into the family with my two girls and juggling work, childcare, finances, etc etc. but I know it'll be so worth it when all is said and done. I'm just going to try to enjoy this moment and take it one day at a time. Thank you for listening to me and congratulations and best wishes to all of you.
Hi everyone! First timer here. I'm 34 and my husband is 36. Just got my BFP on Friday and we are still kinda in shock that it happened! I have been pretty anxious but trying to take it day by day. Going Tuesday to confirm with the doctor. Trying not to take another HPT every day.... 😂 So excited to be here and congratulations to all!
Yay @denma2015! I remember you from TTCAL. I so hope this is your rainbow baby

I was pregnant in November 2018 but miscarried at 7 weeks (blighted ovum) before the month had ended.
