Hi everyone! I’m 31 and this will be my 3rd baby. I’ve been a lurker for four years but feel like being more of a poster this time around! This pregnancy is a bit of a surprise but we’re super happy nonetheless! EDD feb 6. Wishing you all healthy and happy pregnancies

noxacanthus · June 2019

Hello! I'm 29, hubby is 31. We are American but live in Japan (military family). We will likely be moving back to the US sometime this fall, but we don't know when/where yet (though we are hoping for October and somewhere on the East Coast to be closer to family). We've been trying for over 5 years to have a baby and this is our first pregnancy. I think I'm due around Feb 9th, based on an online IVF due date calculator I found. I'm excited that this is finally happening, but also terrified of something going wrong.

Hi @brookert615 ! Nice to see a few familiar faces here! I don’t know what was going on with my app, but I had also become frustrated that my short luteal phase wasn’t under control so I had given up hope of getting KU anyway. But I did, and I don’t know what I did to fix the app, but here I am!

NYTino24 · June 2019

@daffodil_shoe Heyyy! I’m in the short luteal phase / low progesterone group, too. Hopefully these babies stick!!

Knottie1086ab1351f65ae7 · June 2019

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be here. I’m 33 and is my first pregnancy (due February 3!). It took us 8 months and some meds to conceive so we were really thrilled when we received our positive test a couple weeks ago! I’m also a cancer survivor so medical stuff brings up a lot of emotion for me in general. We had an appt scheduled with my midwife this coming Thursday (6/13) to discuss options moving forward in TTC so when we got our positive test, she said to just come in for a super early ultrasound where we will hopefully see a heartbeat as I will be just over 6 weeks along. I’m so happy to be here and connect with you!

@NYTino24 hiiii nice to see you here!

Hello all

My EDD is Feb 10 and we are super excited. My husband and I have been trying for about 2 years now. I'm 26 years old and he is 32. I've had 3 early miscarriages in about a year span, we took a break to get some testing done before trying again. Unfortunately I don't know what a successful pregnancy is supposed to feel like, so every little pain or cramp makes me nervous. (I'm a little Google happy) I had been taking a prolactin suppressant for high prolactin levels to get pregnant, and now I am on a vitamin and aspirin regimen, as well as the lovely Endometrin since my progesterone was low in my last pregnancy . My numbers seem to be much better this time around, so keeping our fingers crossed that this one is successful. Hopefully I'll have more good news to share soon, we should be going for our first ultrasound in about a week to make sure all is well, for now we're just monitoring hcg levels twice a week to make sure they're rising like they should.

rorbv · June 2019

Hi!

I'm expecting #2 with an EDD of ~ Feb 11th. Also a CO resident like a few others. My husband has been out of town with #1 (2 1/2) for 10 days so haven't told him yet since I want to wait to tell him in person. It has been hard to keep it under wraps!

BenNSarah · June 2019

My name is Sarah and I will be 33 next month. I am diagnosed with Kallmann Syndrome and had to go through lots of treatments to have my first child, a boy born 1/1/17. He is incredible. This time around it worked on the first cycle of treatment so I’m still doubting it. Due date 2/14/19 right now, my measuring ultrasound later this month could change that. I’ve been married to my husband for 8 years and we have a 5 year old yellow lab. So excited and nervous to be pregnant again!

bg122785 · June 2019

@teddikaybear congrats! Another WA state girl!

vdphillips · June 2019

Hi everyone! My name is Victoria and I am 23 years old. My husband and I are expecting our first biological baby in the beginning of February. We are foster parent as well. One one our foster daughters (age 1) went back to her biological mom after a year and we still have our youngest who we’ve had since she was 2 weeks old and is now 9 months.

twinsandcoffee · June 2019

Hi all! Looks like I’m the baby of the group at 22 years old 😊 I’ve got twin almost-two-year-old daughters, and I’m celebrating my fifth wedding anniversary next month. I’m 6 weeks along right now, due right smack on Feb. 1. It’s still not completely real to me, but I’m just so glad to be here!

elmann1 · June 2019

Hi everyone! I'm 31. My husband and I just found out yesterday that I'm about 4 weeks pregnant with our second child!!! I think I'm due around February 10th but I'm not certain yet. I have PCOS and to have my first daughter I was on Clomid for 1 year without success. After the final round my body decided to get pregnant. This time around we weren't actively trying yet and I feel so lucky! I'm praying this little one sticks! I was told I couldn't have babies naturally when we were trying for our first. My daughter is now 3.5 and has been asking for a sibling all year. I'm still really good friends with my 2015 Bump Moms, we've planned yearly trips to see each other and I actively speak to two Bump besties on a daily basis. I'm so glad to be back and with all you ladies!

adifrog · June 2019

Hi there! I'm Adrienne and I'm due on 2/15. This will be my second child (I have a 3yo) and it's been about a year since our miscarriage. It's taken a long time to get to this point so I'm so happy to be here!

MeredithL · June 2019

Hi there, I’m 38 (39 at the end of the month!) and pregnant with #3. My husband and I will have been married 15 years in August and our children are 8 and 6. EDD is Feb 3 (right between my other kids’ birthdays! 😆) I was active on the boards as a new mom in 2010/2011 but definitely feeling a little out of practice with the whole pregnancy experience.

jessieR358 · June 2019

Hello! I’m 34 and have 2 little boys (almost 4 and 20 months). EDD is 2/17.
We have dogs, a couple guinea pigs, and some fish! I was active on these boards with my others. Excited for our 3rd and last baby.

burr1371 · June 2019

Hi Everyone! I am 32 and this is my first pregnancy. My husband and I have almost been married for a year. We live in Colorado. I saw a couple other Colorado mamas on here! Our EDD is Feb.10. We have our first doctors appointment on Monday! Can’t wait to get to know you ladies better! ❤️

oxaudox · June 2019

Hey I'm 30 from Michigan! I have a 3 year old daughter. Due date February 6!

emmlist · June 2019

Hi all! I’m 29, and this is our first! Due date is the 7th. I’m from DC but currently living in Australia... a little bit nervous about being so far away from family during my first pregnancy.

hkom · June 2019

Hi friends! I got a positive test on Monday after twiddling my thumbs all weekend waiting for my very regular period to start. Unofficial due date is Feb 12. This will be pregnancy #2 and baby #2. Unexpected but not unwanted, if that makes sense. H and I are little surprised but happy

My son, J, is 9 months old, but was born at 28w3d, so he's really like a 6 month old. I was put on hospital bed rest at about 24 weeks, as I had a cervix that would not stop funneling (they initially found it at my 20 week ultrasound), and I was there up until he was born when they couldn't stop preterm labor. He was in the NICU for 7 weeks, and came home at 35 weeks gestation. He's healthy as a horse now (so far). 99% sure they will do a cerclage as soon as possible with this one, and I'm super nervous about it (heeeeeyyyyyy @DDRRT1982

).

I hope I can keep up on here. I was on TB with J and it was one of the best decisions I've made. Those women are now some of my treasured friends and helped get my through a a very scary pregnancy, birth, and NICU stay.

leksiL · June 2019

Hi! I'm 38 and from CT. I've been married 11 years and have a vibrant strong and beautiful 2.5 year old girl. We have been trying for a year and I just got an appointment with a fertility specialist when we got pregnant this month! This month due to travel I thought we were out and did not track anything so was completely surprised. I work in the financial services sector and enjoy running, gardening, doing anything outside basically, and reading. Look forward to meeting everyone!

katieroz · June 2019

Hi from Chicago! I’m 31 and this is my first - EDD early February. Just found out last week!

brookert615 · June 2019

@leksiL YAY!!! Congrats!!!

prpl11butterfly · June 2019

*lurking* contrats @leksiL!!

Arogatch · June 2019

I’m 32 and a mom of 2 already. All 3 kids were planned but not for a few more months. I guess I’m pretty fertile. We were team Green with the first two but since this is most likely our last, we may find out the gender.

clairdelune08 · June 2019

Hi all! I'm 32 living in PA, and this is my first pregnancy. Hubby and I have been trying but not trying (if that makes sense) for a few month . We're in the midst of building our first home so it's a bit stressful. I haven't had my first appointment yet so I'm not exactly sure of a due date, but its looking like the first week of February. I'm super excited but so nervous at the same time. I can't wait to tell people so I have someone to freak out to Haha.

mcdonaldmama · June 2019

My names Amanda and im 19. This is my first baby who is hopefully a girl, due feb 2. Im so glad i found this app. Theres so many great questions i never thought id want to know the answer to.
We have a 2yo cat (roxy) and a 1yo dog (nugget) my bf was hungry when we got her and her butt looked like a chicken nugget.

imalwaysme79 · June 2019

Hi everyone! I’m cautiously introducing myself. I live in GA, I’m 39 (I turn 40 at the end of the year) and just found out today that I’m pregnant with my second. My son is 2.5 and this is my third pregnancy. I went to the doctor for some chronic pain I was having in my back and wanted me to do an xray to rule out anything serious. I asked them to check my urine sample because I was a few days late. That was a fun way to find out. My EDD is 2/14. I hope to stick around for awhile!

****TW****

I just had a miscarriage in April, so it was surprising to get a BFP so quickly! I’m still being super cautious but I had to tell someone!!

pnwjess · June 2019

Hey guys! I’m 33 and this will hopefully be our fourth child (we have three boys). I had a miscarriage in March and am cautiously optimistic this time around. That was an unexpected pregnancy and wrecked me emotionally from beginning to end. After we lost #4, we started thinking maybe we’d try again. Well, apparently a miscarriage can really screw with your normal pattern. By my second cycle after the D&C, it was back to 28 days long and O day 14, so I thought “okay back to normal.” Or not! I ovulated over a full week late this time, meaning we thought we were in the safe zone and were not! Oh well, we are excited whether it was our exact timing or not! Praying I’ll be around for the duration! EDD 2/20/20

rikiteacup · June 2019

Hello Everyone! I am 37 and this is my first pregnancy. Got my for sure BFP at 10DPO this morning. EDD is 2/24/20. This was our 14th cycle TTC and 2nd cycle after H's varicocele repair surgery. His SA post surgery is scheduled for next week so I am pretty sure his count will show some improvement. He'll get another SA in October just to confirm.
I am really anxious as this is still super early. I am still in disbelief. I thought this would never happen. We were ready to see a RE in the next coming months.

brookert615 · June 2019

@rikiteacup Just got to throw it out there I did a happy dance for you when I saw you post on the grad thread! Seriously so happy for you, friend!!! Congrats! Can't wait to share this journey with you!!!

Finally out of TB purgatory and can post. lol.
I’m 32. I have a 7 and a 5 year old (both girls) and totally thought I was done having kids but SURPRISE!!! On cycle day 40, when my period still didn’t come I tested and it was a very glaring positive. Still processing all the mixed feelings I’m having. Told DH but that’s it so far. Part of me is in Denialville and part of me is just scared to tell like the rest of my family because I don’t want to be judged or something. However, I think the puking and the daily 3+ hr naps are going to give it away sooner rather than later.
My due date is somewhere probably between Feb. 6-10. I’m getting different results because my cycles average 34 days so I feel like that’s throwing things off. I guess I’ll find out more at my first OB appt, which, speaking of Denialville, I still haven’t made.

daffodil_shoe · June 2019

Hi @rikiteacup !! Congratulations!

foreveronyourside · June 2019

Hello! I am newly 26 years old and have been married to my DH for almost a year (together for over 6!). We have 2 dogs and a cat. My DH is a construction worker and I am an MRI technologist. We both work very hard!

To be honest, I have lurked on this site on and off for the last 3 years or so. When I started school about 3 years ago, I was on the NuvaRing and found out I was pregnant. I later had a MMC and found out at my 1st ultrasound appt with my DH. That was really hard. It still is sometimes.

Based on my last period, my EDD is Feb 7th! I always hoped to get KU and was starting to lose hope that it would happen because of my past. I was pretty surprised when I missed my period. I took a test in a grocery store bathroom at 10pm after work and as soon as I walked out the bathroom doors, my sister called me (she is due in Aug) and asked if I was pregnant! CRAZY!
I have to wait until July 9 until my first appointment with the midwives, I am very anxious and it is hard to be patient!!!

Sorry for the long post. I am nervous to post on here but hope that my story helps someone else in my shoes who is also looking for support. Would like to make new friends.

foreveronyourside · June 2019

I can totally relate to being in denialville - great way to put it honestly lol. Congrats on the surprise pregnancy! I bet your kids will be excited!

karebear558 · June 2019

Hi all! I am 33 and this is my first pregnancy. My husband and I live in NYC with our dog and have been married for about a year and a half. (Any other NYC moms to be out there?) I'm a big planner, so thanks to all my research on getting pregnant I thought it would take a few months... turns out it was faster than we thought! Same month I got my copper IUD out I got a positive.

It still doesn't feel real.

thepretzelchick · June 2019

Hi! I'm 32 and this is my third pregnancy. I have a son who will be 7 in August and a daughter who is 5. I'm a 2u2 survivor. My husband and I have been married for almost 8 years. We were dunzo after DD, so I had a happy 5 years with Mirena, but we decided as the time drew near to remove and replace it that we wanted one more baby, and here we are. I'm excited for another little human and for the Percocet that comes after a RCS
