Hi all, FTM here due July 24. I’m a lawyer in Ontario, Canada and my husband is in academia. Looking forward to picking the brains of some STM+s in particular for how to go about this whole thing!
Yes - March 2017. There are I think 4 other March mamas who are now also July 2019 moms now but I don't believe any of us have enough time to feel like we can be super active on this board. Many of us switched over to Facebook in like April/May 2017. Glad to see you are well and welcoming another

Hi everyone! My name is Allie and I'm due July 3rd with baby #2. We have a five-year-old son who is a first-round Clomid baby, but this time around we ended up going through four rounds of Clomid and four IUIs w/ Femera before getting lucky on our first round of IVF.
Everything is looking good so far and our son is super excited about becoming a big brother. He's been asking for sibling for a few years now (although we think he thinks the baby will be more like a pet instead of a person that he's going to have to learn to share and compromise with...)
Lil late to the party. I'm expecting my second on 7/7 while dealing with a 21 month old rambunctious boy 😪 Hoping this time around goes a lot smoother towards the due date. Doubt my family can deal with more dramatics at births lol
Hello! I'm a FTM due on July 31st. Currently 16+4. DH and I have been married for almost 2 years, and I'm grateful that we got the BFP before either of us turned 35 (I over think and worry about everything). I'm 33, and he is 34. Had some trouble with my body adjusting after stopping BC, and ended up with one round of clomid to make things work right. Looking forward to being able to talk to so many others who are going through a similar experience! Also, super stoked to be out of the first trimester. It was the pits!
Hi ladies! I'm a little late to the party but hoping I can still join in! I'm Jen, I'm 37 and live in GA...my DH is 39 and we've been married for 10 years (in April) and together for 14. **TW** Our first pregnancy was ectopic and I had to have my left fallopian tube removed in February 2016 at 8 weeks as the embryo had implanted itself there. We got a BFP at the end of June 2016 and welcomed our son in March 2017. I got this BFP on 11.5 while DH was OOT and had to wait a week to tell him because I didn't want to do it over the phone. We're due on 7.16 with a baby girl! I'm close with my March 2017 moms and look forward to getting to know you and jumping in on the chats!

So......I am new to the board. But also new to knowing I'm having a baby. Six years ago in June I will have given birth to a beautiful kindhearted and amazing daughter. My husband and I tried and tried around the time she was three to have another child. We had no success. We gave up. Trying became a chore and made being with my husband frustrating and not fun. We quit trying. It took a long time for me to get back to having fun with him again in that way. I'm very irregular. Have been my whole life. I increasingly became more and more irregular only having 4 periods a year. I diagnosed myself as having PCOS and avoided going to the doctor because I didn't want to hear it out loud. Fast forward to three weeks ago. My feet began swelling three days in a row. I panicked on day three. I was researching if I was dying and or diabetic and trying to figure out what in the world was going on with me. My online research kept popping up as pregnancy, heart failure, diabetes...so I decided I had an old pregnancy test just sitting in the closet and why not check one of these things off of my list right? So immediately that stick wasted no time revealing to me that I was pregnant. The next day I call the OB they get me in after I reveal my lack of having any clue about how far along I am. The initial exam told me nothing other than I am pregnant. One week later the ultrasound...........oh the ultrasound...........a memory I will never ever forget. The tech prepares for the internal. I prepare for the internal. In my mind just hearing a heartbeat at this point would be very exciting. The tech goes in. She's in 2 seconds and immediately is out. I'm waaaaaay farther along than I thought. She begins the ultrasound on my stomach. I not only hear a super strong heartbeat but I see a baby sucking it's thumb in my belly. I have two minutes to process this information and the tech asks us if we want to know the gender!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! The gender!!!!! It's a boy!!!!!!! Very exciting news. Baby boy measured 19 weeks 5 days due date July 6th. Insane to process. Still recovering from processing how in the hell I could be this far along and had no clue. NO clue. It's embarrassing to admit out lout. But I didn't know. By the way the swelling feet stopped the day after I found out. Haven't had them since. It was like the weird little way my body was telling me to put it all together. Oddly enough I began feeling the baby last week. My stomach has firmed up and began popping. All of these things began immediately after I realized what was going on.
So these boards helped get me through my first pregnancy and I'm here to see if they can do the same for this one. If you made it this far reading thank you for reading my story up to this point.
Hi all! Late poster. I just remembered this place was here! I'm 32, same age as hubby, and this is our first child! My EDD is July 29th, which also happens to be our wedding anniversary.
I found out about the pregnancy immediately after returning home from visiting my mom for Thanksgiving. I kept cramping without a period and was just 100% confused about wtf was happening.
I was so sure that I wasn't pregnant, event though we'd be trying for a few months, because our timing had been so off the month prior. I kept muttering while taking the test "gosh dang it, I'm wasting a test and now I'm gonna have to buy a new one and this is such bull". I was shocked enough when it came back positive that I took two more just to be sure lol
I'm really really excited and really really nervous since this is definitely a new experience for me. But, so far, it's been great. We also just found out, on my birthday, that we're having a girl and I cannot wait to paint her nursery now!
First time momma here unplanned pregnancy but been with my man for 4 years and engaged. I am currently 27 weeks 💜 Praying and hoping for a healthy happy baby 💜
Hey guys! I'm a bit late to the game this time around, but my name is Tiffany and I'm from Florida. I have one daughter and we have another on the way . My EDD is July 7th but I have a scheduled c section for July 1st. This pregnancy is a lot bumpier than my first, but looking forward to talking to people here for support!
Hello everyone!! I’m also late to the game! My name is Dana, I live in Philadelphia, this is my first pregnancy and My EDD is July 23 😊 My husband and I are both 30 and we have been married for 3 years. We have a 4 year old fur baby. We aren’t finding out the gender and we are so excited to be growing our family!!
My pregnancy isnt isn’t quite what I had imagined so far.. physically I have been feeling great but I recently was diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction and my baby is in the 9th percentile currently The doctors are recommending weekly scans which to me seems so excessive and also overwhelming. I’m a chiropractor and I own my own business and my midwife just yesterday suggested that I stop working which seems crazy to me as I’m only 28 weeks. I would love to talk with any moms who have dealt with this and what your experience has been!
I'm Ginny, I'm a middle school teacher in Oregon. I just got married this year (woohoo) and I have three kids and one on the way. I have only boys and this'll be my first girl! Due July 24th.
@d_metz723 congrats and welcome! There are quite a few team green (not finding out) on here but not many with their first. My baby is team blue/boy and as a FTM, I wanted to know as much as I love the idea of being surprised. I was just too anxious to name him and talk to him with his name.
As far as stopping work, it could be the physical nature of what you do that would have your midwife advising you that way. That and the more high risk you become, the more they want you to focus on baby. Because of your condition, weekly monitoring allows them to know if baby stops growing or starts to develop physical complications. It might seem excessive but if baby gets too small for their age, you’re likely to be induced or have a c-section in just a few weeks. They might have already given you a steroid shot for baby’s lungs or they might decide to do so in a couple of weeks to prepare them for an early delivery. It may seem excessive but remember that a healthy baby is the whole goal even if not working and getting monitored often is important for baby.
Hi I'm Britany im 26 yrs and my bf is 30 my baby is due July 26th. I'm already a mother to two handsome little boys 6 and almost 3. This baby will be my first and only girl 💛 getting fixed after this! So ready July can't come soon enough!
Hi All! Is it too late for an intro?! I’m a TTM (almost 4 year old girl & 2 year old boy) and work in advertising in Texas. I was due 7/12 & had our little girl on 7/15! I loved using the bump when I was pregnant with our son & so lately have been checking in for advice on postpartum topics so thought I should intro myself!
Hi! I’m seeing this SUPER late but my name is Tiara and I’m a first time mommy. My son was born July 27th and we decided to name him Ryan. I’m from Michigan. I don’t know what else to say about us.
Re: YAY!!!!!! July 2019 Mamas introduce yourselves :)

Do you know who else from our board is due in July? I was kind of hoping to see Kelsey but didn't find her.
** TW **
I’ve been hesitant to participate bc of a loss we experienced prior to this pregnancy.
I’m hoping everything continues to go well.
end TW
I'm a SAHM - my daughter will turn 2 in February! I'm due July 24 with baby #2.
Looking forward to being able to talk to so many others who are going through a similar experience! Also, super stoked to be out of the first trimester. It was the pits!
