@itsnotmine How absolutely beautiful of you to do this! Have you seen the Facebook show Nine Months with Courteney Cox? It’s a docu series about all kinds of different pregnancies, and there’s a lovely woman on there who is a surrogate for her friends.

Hello ladies!! STM mom here, I actually intro’d on September then had a very early miscarriage that was weird and confusing and obviously sad, but I’m so so happy to be back in a bmb so soon, I didn’t know what was going to happen with my body after that.
Anyways! I have a son who was March 2017 and I started off involved in the bmb and kind of dropped off so I’m hoping to stay longer this time I have a close group of friends from my time in TTGP back before we conceived DS, and they are amazing and idk how I’d make it through motherhood without them!
Im excited to be here and look forward to getting to know everyone! 🥳 oh EDD 10/28 ❤️
I suppose now is the time to do this.... **tw, losses mentioned
Hi! I've been lurking for a few days since getting my BFP. I needed to make sure my numbers were good before I could intro. Got my second beta results a few hours ago and they are rising fantastically!
This is my 5 pregnancy and will hopefully be my second child. The last 12 months have been HARD. On Feb 28 2018 we found out our second pregnancy was a MMC. I was devastated. Then in Sept I had a CP. We got pregnant again that Oct but sadly resulted in another MMC in Nov. I'm under the care of a great RE and hoping his treatment plan allows this little bean to keep growing properly.
I'm 32, DH will be 35 in a few months. I work for a car dealership and he works for a retail chain. We have been together nearly 16 years and married for almost 5. We have a 3.5yo son and have had custody of our 10yo neice since she was 2.5. We have 1 dog, 2 felines, and a sweet little guinea pig. We are also representing the great state of MA so nice to see some "local" ladies here!
@prpl11butterfly Just so thrilled for you. Hope you stay!!! 🤞🏻 @itsnotmine What an incredible gift you’re giving to the IPs. There is definitely a place for you in this BMB.
Due 10/13 with my third! First boy is 2 1/2 and daughter 16 months. Just anxious to get to that first ultrasound. You’d think by the third time I wouldn’t be so nervous 🤣 excited to have some bump buddies. I’m still in the April 16 bump group from my son and we’ve become amazing friends since. 💗
FTM here and super excited and nervous. I’ve been googling everything, which I realize is not the best thing to be doing right now.
I turn 30 in April and my husband is 32. We were married January 2018 and started trying to conceive in August. We got our BFP Feb 1st and have an EDD 10/12. The day after we got our BFP we left for vacation, so it made for an interesting vacation, checking with Dr. Google before doing anything! I’m slowly starting to relax a little bit and trying to enjoy the process.
@mamabear1619 and @greenbean-2 yes same here!! How can I love another like I love my son!? Especially when he says, “noooo my mama!” When we mention a sister or brother.
Hesitant to post because I’m still fearful of losing this pregnancy. In the previous two cycles, I had two consecutive CPs as soon DH began trying for our first. We’re glad we were able to get pregnant, but the losses hit both of us hard. So, we’re cautiously optimistic about this one. I check my risk of miscarriage everyday and I’m pleased to see it go down everyday. I’m currently 6W4D with an EDD of 10/9. First ultrasound is in three days, so hopefully I’ll find out more about viability then. It’s so hard to be excited this early. Anyway, I hope to be able to share this journey with you all. Wishing you all happy and healthy pregnancies.
Hi everyone! My name is Kim and this is my third time joining an October DDC! I have two boys who are 8 and 2 and both were due in October. (Although my 1st is a November baby)
I live in Northern VA and am a teacher (any other teacher moms out there??)
My husband and I are excited and anxious about adding a third baby to our family. I am 35 so this will be my first time being AMA and hopefully everything will go smoothly! My EDD is 10/27 but I will be having my 3rd c-section so I imagine I’ll have this baby a week early.
I cant wait to get to know some new moms as we begin this wild journey together!!
@anne11716 yay! I am also considering staying home after this one. We weren’t trying... but we weren’tnot trying” I just didn’t think we’d get pregnant the first month 🤦🏼♀️ The idea of beginning a school year with a newborn sounds exhausting. I did it 2 years ago I told myself never again. We’ll see though! What grade do you teach?
Hello! My SO and I found out I was pregnant 4 days ago! So still super early and my first appointment is on Wednesday! We have 2 boys the ages of 3 (today!) and 18 months our EDD (per my app) is Oct 10! We are super excited! I’m excited to be on this journey with all of you mamas!
Hi all, just got a positive FRER today at 10dpo! Had squinters at 8 and 9dpo, but the digital FRER was negative yesterday. I'm due Oct.28th ant this will be my third. I have one of each. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Have you been active under previous BMB's? Your name sounds super familiar. I was in June16 and Sept14 previously under a different SN.
@itsnotmine How absolutely beautiful of you to do this! Have you seen the Facebook show Nine Months with Courteney Cox? It’s a docu series about all kinds of different pregnancies, and there’s a lovely woman on there who is a surrogate for her friends.
I have not! I'll have to check it out. A lot of documentaries paint surrogacy in a negative light so it's nice to hear when there are good ones
My daughter is the same way! It’s breaking my heart! But I got her a baby doll for her birthday and I told her she will help mommy take care of the new baby like the baby doll
I am 36 and H is 40. We have one DD, she is 5 and was born in October 2013. I was fairly active in the Oct 2013 BMB and continue to be close to those ladies ( and have met most of them). I have had 2 ectopic losses since my DD was born (I had losses prior to her also), so I am very nervous and cautious with this pregnancy. We want baby number 2 so badly!
Hi! I have been lurking for a few days but decided to introduce myself. My EDD based on LMP is 10/23 - I think it will push back a few days during a dating scan. I have an almost 18 month old son. I am cautiously excited and mostly anxious. I am a big time worrier and first trimester brings out the very worst. I find myself googling all of the symptoms yet again. I thought I learned my lesson last time that too much info isn’t a good thing haha. Hoping to get to know you all!
@Cakimmy30 Welcome neighbor! We moved west of NOVA a couple years ago. I am a former teacher. I took a year off when DD was born. I taught for one more year after that but was miserable, so now I stay at home.
My EDD is October 10th!!! This would be my 5th pregnancy with 4 missed miscarriages all before 9wks. This time I’m on Prometrium progesterone but I am still super super super nervous about this pregnancy but I will continue to pray that I get to meet my rainbow baby in a few months.
@Cakimmy30 exact same thing happened here! Was very surprised!! When I went back after my son was born it was so hard because my sub did not have very strong classroom management. That was a rough year!! I teach 3rd! What about you? I taught kindergarten for a year and then 1st headend for two when we lived in CO. This is my 6th year teaching 3rd it’s a fun grade!
Hello there! I am Colleen, but call me Lime! I am happily engaged, living in southern NJ with my fiance and polydactyl cat, Oakey. We thought Oakey was going to be our only little love, as I have PCOS. We all but gave up, started planning for a future as just us... and then... I happened to test, as my (irregular, but recently more on time) period was late. 10 tests later I was able to deliver the best pre Valentine's news ever We are still in the shocked but excited phase. We have a TON to learn as first time parents.
Good morning from Texas! My due date is October 26! My husband and I have 6 wonderful children 2 boys and 4 girls... All singletons!!! This time around we believe it's twins!!!
@blancett116 Welcome! I think you definitely have the largest family I’ve seen anyone post about so far on this BMB 😊 Are your other children excited? And just curious what makes you think it’s twins? I don’t necessarily think I’m carrying 2 but my 3 year old insists lol
Awwww thanks! Well our 3 year old was a twin but her twin vanished before oro second ultrasound. My mother was a twin as well. Other than that my symptoms are extra early! I've never gotten an early positive but this pregnancy I got a positive 4 days before my missed period!..Im only 4 weeks 3 days and I feel EVERYTHING !!! Everything is maximized!
Hi! I'm so excited to be here! My EDD is 10/8. I have 2 DD, 8 and 6 years old. I am AMA, it took us 8 months to conceive this little one. We are being super cautious and not telling anyone till i am further along. I had a loss in between my daughters, which makes me super nervous but we did have a first trimester u/s last week and saw a heartbeat. Cant wait for a couple more weeks till we tell our girls, they are going to be the best big sisters!

EDD 10/28/2019 give or take, TBD. Just found out first beta numbers look good so next is US in early March. FTM . Freaking out. So is my dog! She knows. Excited to get to know you all. Currently sitting in my office with the door closed eating Skittles like a crazy person. It’s gonna be a long first tri.
Hi all! I'm a FTM from PA...EDD is 10/30/19. I will be 36 on 2/28 and DH is 38, we've been married for almost 9 years and we've been TTC for most of them. We are cautiously pregnant with our first via IVF, my beta is scheduled for a few days, but I've been getting positives since 5dp5dt (I'm currently 8dp5dt). We are dog parents to 2 little spoiled rotten dogs and can't wait to give them a real live sibling!
Hello! Nervously posting for the first time. FTM from TX here with an EDD of 10/10/19. Live with my husband and our spoiled mutt, and we can’t wait to grow our family!
TW:
Our first pregnancy ended in a loss at 8wks this past August and it was extremely traumatic for both of us. Especially because shortly afterwards, multiple family members announced their pregnancies. I’m pretty anxious this time around too but fingers crossed for everything to turn out ok!
