Hello everyone! I spent some time on the bump when I was pregnant with my now 8 year old, it was such a great place to share experiences. I am back now with my third pregnancy..it was a bit unexpected..and I am having a hard time accepting how sick and tired I feel right now. I am also worried about the large age gap between my two kids and this baby...my oldest will be almost 9 and my youngest almost 7 when this baby is born. anyone else out there with a large age gap? A happy and healthy 9 mons to you all!
FTM from Calgary, Canada and trying out the bump and forums. Due date 06/09 or 6 weeks 6 days. AMA or geriatric pregnancy at 38, and have suffered M/C's, the latest @14 weeks in July so feeling very nervous. I have my own event planning business which will likely be a bit slower now with my doctor restrictions on heavy lifting, long hours standing, excessive travel, etc. My husband is an engineer working in oil & gas and we have a 'furbaby' who is going to be super jealous of our new addition. Feeling very anxious.
@Junebugmugalug I was 8 and my brother 6 when my little sister was born and it was great! My brother and I helped my mom out a ton and she was like my little buddy growing up! It was a lot of fun and we’re still very close now!

Hi everyone, We're first time parents from Vancouver, Canada. It's nice to see some other Canadians on here. Due 24/09, so everything is pretty early. We're originally from the UK and went back to get married there in September 2018 and started trying straight away. I'm almost 30 (3 weeks!), my new DH is 32. *TW* We had a CP in November, so I'm pretty nervously excited about this one*. I lurked a lot in TTGP, so I'm really happy to see so many familiar names here - congratulations!! - and I'm looking forward to being a bit more active on the boards. We found out on the weekend so already have an appointment booked for the 31st Jan.
@Junebugmugalug there will be 6 years between mine. But I don’t think a gap is bad. I was 16 when my parents adopted a newborn so I got an early jump on learning to care for kiddos but I couldn’t ask for a better little brother and I absolutely love being the cool older sister.
@jpbling Hi and welcome!! Super close to your situation... My second was born 12’16 and my sister got married a month later 1’17 and I was the maid of honor!! I had a couple more weeks to work with, but I had her Bach party the weekend before her wedding (her and the girls were totally cool with it) and aside from catching the stomach bug from my mother in law 😑 the night before her wedding, everything worked out perfectly!! I wish you the best of luck with it and try not to stress about it too much! I was a little nervous my sister was going to be upset with the timing but she wasn’t at all!

DS will be 10.5 when this one arrives. I’m looking forward to the help hopefully ha! I am also 37, and 38 when i am due. I honestly think it will be a great gap! Just took us a while of spoiling him to get back on board ha!
I’m at FTM, but there’s an 8 year gap between me and my older sister. Honestly I think it was great. Sure I would have liked to have had an additional sibling maybe closer to my age but my sister and I were still very close and both got a chance to experience being alone with our parents for a while, my turn just wasn’t until she moved out haha.
6 weeks pregnant, first time around! Hoping to have twin boys but i wouldnt mind one baby girl or a boy ill be happy either way. Im 25 ive been with my boyfriend 3 years. He has a 12 year old with an ex. We have a lot of stuff to figure out soon, like moving and vehicles. I think he is too concerned about money. Im ready to progress in the relatiinship, bored of living for myself. Kind of excited! Already have a liat of baby girl names!
Hello! I'm Elle. I'm approaching 5 weeks pregnant and starting to believe this is happening, so here I am! I'm due around 9/22. I have a 10-month old at home, so it's definitely going to be a juggling act... Look forward to sharing the next 8 months with y'all...
@eller-2 congrats! Your situation sounded like mine last time. My girls are 18 months apart. I got pregnant when my oldest was 10 months and my second was Sept as well. It’s fun having them close I think. It can be chaotic but great at the same time.
Hello everyone! FTM with an EDD of Sept 15th. I'm a big city girl from the Midwest. Hubby and I have been married for 3 years in May and have a 2 year old cat named Bella. We've TTC for over a year and finally conceived after the third and final month on Clomid. We are so happy to have our little Christmas gift. Excited to meet everyone and share in this beautiful journey!
Hi! First timer... EDD 9/23. 31 From Maine. Love small town life with my husband and pup. We’ve been married for 4 years, together for 11! TTC for 6 months. Looking forward to this process!
Hello! My name is Meghan and I will be 28 in about a month. I live in coastal South Carolina. My husband and I have been together for almost 10 years, just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. We have a dog (who I am absolutely obsessed with) and a cat. Currently pregnant with our first! We weren't trying and I was on BC, so I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything. As my husband said... unplanned, but certainly not unwanted. First appointment Jan. 30th, based on my last period I'm due in early Sept. Wishing everyone safe, happy, and healthy pregnancies
@eller-2 my first 3 are each 18 months apart and this one will be 13 months apart from my next youngest. It’s tough at times but I absolutely love the closeness in age!!
Hi! I am 30 from Portland Oregon. My husband and I just relocated here from Philly about three months ago. My husband and I have been married for 7 years and we’ve been together 12 years. This is the first time we are pregnant, we are beyond excited and probably way too careful. We have a fur baby, a 18 pound black cat rescue that we love. We keep telling him he’a going to be an older brother! EDD is 9/17. Congratulations and sending best positive thoughts out to everyone!!
Hey everyone! I am excited and cautious to intro here! We have two Littles, nine-year-old A is a bonus kiddo through guardianship and 19 month old E came after three years of trying and donor embryo! This new little one is a complete surprise/shocker BFP! Following betas right now to ease my crazy anxiety but things are looking good! We also have two dogs and are currently moving this weekend! Never a dull moment in our life! EDD is around 9/25 (wasn’t tracking anything other than cycle averages so it is a total guess)!
I was active on here for the first couple months with our first pregnancy, then lost touch with the June 17 BMB for a while and everybody left! Hoping to do better this time around!!!!!
Me: 30 DH:31
Married 9/2010 TTC 10/2013 RE Help from 10/2014-10/2016 (11 failed IUIs, a corrective surgery, and a donor embryo cycle) 9/2016-transferred two donor embies BFP 9/29/26 EDD June 11
Cautiously jumping in to introduce myself! I’m a 33 year old STM with an almost two year old son, and I was super active on F17 (what’s up @LivingLaVidaGinger@lfrank12@Lafreeman21@sunshine2417!). I still keep in touch with many of them on an almost daily basis.
I got my BFP on January 1st and had a dating ultrasound yesterday - my EDD is September 11th.
*TW* I had two MCs before my son was born, and I have a history of fertility issues. I was told at age 20 my tubes were not functional; a few years ago we pursued IVF, the doc removed one of my tubes, and then I got pregnant naturally. That ended in a MC at 6w2d, but I got pregnant 3 months later with my boy. We weren’t sure I’d be able to get pregnant again, but here we are! *End TW*
Looking forward to getting to know you all, hoping everyone has uneventful pregnancies!
Hi all, I'm anxiously jumping in here. I am pregnant with my 2nd with an EDD of September 26. My husband and I have been married for 5 years and have a 2 year old girl. We live in New England and I hate the snow and cold weather but refuse to move anywhere else. We had 2 early losses when trying for her and a chemical while trying for this one. My first beta was 380 and will go back on Monday for a second draw to make sure that my numbers are going up appropriately. Excited to be here and wishing everyone a healthy pregnancy
Hi team September! Moving on over from the A16 board as my updated EDD is now Sept 5! I’m a 32 year old FTM from Brooklyn. MH and I were super surprised and excited to get a BFP December 25 since we had been “not-not-trying” for the past 11 months. We have been married for 3.5 years and have a small dog who really loves babies so I’m sure she’ll be excited, too, once we bring baby home.
STM here with a 2 year old boy and hubby from PA. I thought my DD was going to be August, but my first appointment I was measuring two weeks behind so current date is 9/9. Headed back to the doc this week to make sure things are on track!
Hello! I am a FTM, I believe my due date is around September 3rd but will be confirmed on the 23rd. My husband works nights as a corrections officer and I work days in HR but we are so excited for this next chapter in our lives!
I am a former teacher and a SAHM. I have a 3 year old and one year old. I have had two miscarriages, and so I’m a little nervous but hopeful for this baby. I look forward to getting to know you all!
Hello, 33 y/o FTM here. I live in the Seattle area with my DH of almost 10 years. Finally decided we were ready to grow our family. Had a BFP the day of my missed period. EDD is September 17th. I’m of course very nervous, and have to keep working on optimism, relaxing, and trying to be ok with having no control over things. I’m a singer, a seamstress, and all around creative type. We have two cats, who we love most dearly.Nice to meet you all!
Hello, I’m a STM with an almost 3 yo. We just found out on Thursday so I haven’t been to the doctor yet to determine the EDD, it should be about 9/20. I was active in May 16 and am still active on the FB side of that group. I’m from WA State and have seen a lot of WA introductions so that’s really exciting! I hope I get to stick around and can make some great friends here!
ETA: not sure what my sig looks like, so sorry if it’s super old! I’ll get on the computer to fix it another day

hii everyone! just found this community and am excited to meet all of you! im not too good with the acronyms lol but im a first time everything with an EDD for september 14th. just got married 3 months ago and very excited this happened so fast.
Finally jumping in here after lurking for a few weeks 🙂 29 y/o STM with an almost 2 year old daughter! My H and I have been married 4.5 years and we live in Ohio. EDD of 9/15, although I have to wait until im almost 11 weeks to have my first appointment/ultrasound 😫 I waited awhile to intro because **TW** I’m just coming off of a CP the first week of December. On top of that I was in the ER a week ago for a possible ectopic pregnancy which thankfully just turned out to be a dermoid cyst **end TW** I was very active on the Feb ‘17 board and still am with that group every day so I’m super excited a few other F17 girls are joining me on this board! And I’m excited to meet all of you! Hoping for a healthy & uneventful 9 months for everyone 😊
Hi ladies! I think I'm bringing up the rear here with EDD of 9/30. I'm a FTM and IF warrior. This took 22 cycles. MH and I went through IF treatment, 2 rounds of clomid with timed intercourse, then one round of clomid and IUI. For the second IUI I pushed my RE to switch me to letrozole and thank god I did because IUI #2 worked! MH and I live in Minnesota with 2 dogs and a bird. MH is a production lead and I work at a university doing research in nanotechnology. We love to be outdoors during the summer, camping, kayaking, fishing, biking... I'm so excited to be joining this group and getting to know everyone!

I'm coming from the August Group as we originally had an EDD of 08/21, but as we recently had an ultrasound we've learned we're actually due 09/04.
I'm a FTM, though I am the proud mama to 3 furbabies (2 large dogs and 1 cat). My wonderful fiance and I have been together for 4 years, going on 5. We've been "if it happens it happens" for two years now and are just now too excited for our little nugget.
Hello y'all! I'm 28 and hope to be a ftm around Sept 28th!! I'm very shocked bc my cycles have been long and inconsistent. My dr sent me for an ovulation blood test which she said I ovulated but wasn't pregnant at 8 dpo. I didn't bother testing til AF was late, expecting a negative and what do ya know!!! 3 very strong positives on 3 tests! My dr wont see me for another 3 wks which I believe will be the beginning of my 9th week! My husband and I are super excited and want to tell the world but also feel we should wait until we see the baby. What are y'all doing during this stage? We've known for only 1 full day and we are busting with excitement!
Hi all! My husband and I just got married two months ago — we were not expecting to have a baby so soon but here we are both very excited, also I am pretty young (22) and so I know absolutely no one else who is pregnant! Would love to make friends (if you’re in the DFW area feel free to inbox me!) and hear any advice you may have for a new mom, and newly wed! 💕
STM here! Just got my BFP at 9dpo, making my EDD Sept 27th. Two years ago I had a Sept 17 DD, and I'm so excited to start the journey over again! Also excited to share a BMB with a good group of TTGP @chichiphin@lillywonderland@nomangos23 !!
Omg ladies I can't believe we are all here together!!!!! Congrats to all of you!!!!
Hello! My name is Stacie. I am due September 27th. This will be my fourth baby, I already have two boys(7, and 6) and a girl who is 4. My husband and I have been together for 11 years, married for (not quite) 9 years and we live in Canada!
