Hello everyone! My name is Autumn and I’m 31 years old. My husband and I have a 3 yo daughter and an 8 yo black lab. My EDD with baby #2 is March 18th. I am a teacher and plan on taking the rest of the year off (fingers crossed my school cooperates!) and my husband is currently in the process of becoming a police officer.
I am a natural life planner and I had my nexplanon removed in June before my husband and I took our daughter to the beach. We were very lucky in conceiving this baby on that trip. We were originally trying for an April baby as that would work better for my job, timing wise, but we are very happy to have conceived so quickly! I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks. My period was one day late and I knew we were trying during my ovulation window. I had originally tested during the July 4th holiday but it came back negative. One week later I took 3 tests which were all positive.
On August 1st my husband and I celebrated our 4th anniversary and I received confirmation from bloodwork that we are pregnant. I’m excited for my first ultrasound on August 12th! We are planning to announce this pregnancy during Labor Day weekend.
Hello! My name is Jess, I live north of chicago and I am almost 6 weeks pregnant. According to a couple different apps my due date is somewhere between March 30 and April 2. I go for my first dr appt on aug 15 so hopefully I’ll get a more accurate date then. I have a 7 year old daughter and this is my 3rd pregnancy. I had a very early miscarriage about 2.5 years ago. Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Hello! My name is Holly and I live in The Plains, VA. I'm 34 and this is my second child, due March 14th. I have a 12 year old daughter from a previous relationship and a 4 year old stepdaughter with my husband. This was not a planned pregnancy. We are surprised, but very happy!
Hello all! My name is Kelly and I live in North Carolina. I'm 35 years old, been married to my husband for 5 years. This is our first pregnancy and we are very excited! After about 18 months of trying and some help from various fertility drugs/tests/counselors we finally got a positive test. It was a long road for me with lots of ups and downs. For now my due date is March 13, 2020. We had our first ultrasound at 6 weeks and I have another one scheduled for August 13 when I'll be about 10 weeks along. I'm an accountant and I work in finance at a big nonprofit. We're really into football in my household so I'm a little bummed about being pregnant for the whole 2019 season but that's okay. We're also working on a massive remodel on our house. Thankfully we're getting near completion so we'll have plenty of time to get ready for Baby, and we'll have a new bedroom for mom and dad to move into in the next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to getting to chat with you all over the coming months.

Hello ladies, My name is Julie and I am pregnant for the first time at 36 (Hallelujah!). My EDD is March 31. I live in Quebec and French is my mother tongue. I am a high school principal and I practice many many sports. My Irish setter is over the moon to become a big brother and my husband couldn't be more thrilled. Congratulations everyone!
Hi! I'm excited to be here! I'm a nuvaring failure, so it was a complete surprise to say the least. I have 2 kids, a DS that is 4 and a DD that is almost 2. My EDD based on last "period" is 3/31. So not sure if I will end up here or in April when it opens.
@julimi12 hey! Nice to see another Canadian on the thread I lived in Montreal when I went to McGIll and my husband is from there so I’m always going back to visit! Welcome
@jgesi Happy to see you here, and see a picture from your ultrasound last night! I'm glad everything looks good and you got an early peek and due date confirmation!
@babyfox320 We already cancelled a trip to Orlando for the UM/UF kickoff in August because I just wasn't feeling up to it. We're still planning to keep our NFL season tickets this year and see how it goes, but I don't think we'll be traveling to any games.
Hey y’all. We had our first ultrasound this Monday, our expected due date March 28th 2020 one day after our sons birthday (he will be 3). We have a daughter she will be 6 January 3rd and a son he will be 3 March 27th. We are very excited to see if we will have another girl or boy, me and the hubby just prays for a happy and heathy baby we wouldn’t mind what way it goes. I don’t look at my “job” as a job, I own a alcoholic ice cream bar. It’s so fun and a blast to work there. I feel very fortunate this pregnancy, just because I remember with my other two I was a RN at the time and it was so tiring working so much and not being able to take a nap when you want to now I’m able to just drive down the road and plop into the bed for a little bit. That’s the best part as of right now in the pregnancy We have a Great Dane merle puppy he’s about 4 months old and such a cuddle bug. We also have a white pit bull we reduced from a fighting ring( he was a bait dog) but now living his best life.
Our 5 year old starts kindergarten this year so sad but also a proud momma. She will be going to a private school and we went to get her uniforms and she looks so stinking cute.
In in my free time I love to just sit on the couch and watch my weekly shows. We take walks and really do just about whatever comes our way during the day.

Hello ladies! EDD (Estimated Due Date): March 28, 2020 - How you found out - I had an IUD in place so I was in shock when I tested and found out I was pregnant! Plus my strings were missing, so it was a huge ordeal to extract the IUD. - Hobbies, Job, Etc.

Hey everyone! My name is Carrie and I’m just shy of 27, my EDD is March 1st, so far been getting by with minimal symptoms which is nice since this is our first! It will be nice to add a LO to the family we are super excited! Love from Canada!
@peasinapod19 & @lemonlove86 I'm not in Chicago, but I go there ALL THE TIME. I'm a fellow Illinoisan, but I'm in the Springfield area.
@dessiee I love that you saved your pit bull from an awful life! People can be soooo cruel and awful. Pitties are some of THE BEST dogs. I have a black lab/pit bull mix named Scarlett and she is the sweetest, most loving dog I've ever met. My sister has a Great Dane named Rebecca who is a huge cuddle bug, too! I love dogs.
@sweatpea20 That is crazy about your IUD and the missing strings!! Was that painful to remove?!
A little late to get on here... but!
- EDD March 13, 2019
- My toddler told me his baby sister was coming... so I took a test on the 4th of July so my husband would be home, and sure enough! I got a positive test!
I am a happy SAHM! My husband and I have been married for 4 years! I have a toddler that was born the end of March, and he’s 2. And absolutely amazing.
I am nervous but excited and hoping this baby is a girl or my toddler will be devastated!
EDD March 28. We had been trying to conceive for 2 months, and I took a pregnancy test on our 11 year wedding anniversary! We are both 34 years old and have 2 boys ages 6 and 2.5. I quit my job in May to focus on taking care of my kids and myself during this pregnancy. I had been working as a mechanical engineer doing energy modeling and green building studies. There were complications with my 2nd labor and my 2.5 year old has cerebral palsy. I am really anxious about this pregnancy, but cautiously optimistic!
Hello! Wow it’s been 7 years since my last Bump community board. My name is Shana I’m 8 weeks on Wednesday. EDD is March 26. I have been married to my husband Alex for 12 years and we have a daughter named Parker who turns 6 today. My husband and I both work full time and I own a local nonprofit in town that provides music and performing arts camp scholarship for our community. We are also super involved with the many social events, charity galas, and fundraisers in our city. We live in Florida.
I have been going back and forth with the idea of having another child for 6 years. I had a very easy breezy pregnancy with no complications at birth. Parker was a horrible sleeper and it was pretty rough the first year. Who am I kidding it’s up and down all the time. She has blossom though into a wonderful, funny, adorable little person. The last year I have had a nagging feeling of wanting one more so we tried. It happened way faster then what we thought. I just turned 36 so I’m considered a “elder” pregnancy. (But wait, I dont feel old! Lol) We are going to do all genetic testing just to make sure. This is so different from my first pregnancy. I have been really sick for 4 weeks, super fatigued, my boobs are so sore and my hormones are ragging.
We plan on telling Parker at 12 weeks during the sonogram. I’m excited and nervous to start the journey again! Hello everyone and congrats!
Hello everybody! Very glad to be here, been waiting years for this. EDD is mid March, based on LMP 9 June. Found out 13 Jul with a positive test. This is my first pregnancy, at 39! Navy veteran and do not work now, enjoy crafts, gardening, and my pets. Will keep this short, good luck to you all from Ohio!
Hi everyone! My name is Amanda and I'm pregnant with my 2nd child. My EDD is March 12th and my husband and I are so excited to give our daughter a sibling and okay mate but I have to admit, even though I've been through this once I'm still feeling nervous and anxious, especially around appts and of course, the end lol.
Hi everyone! My name is Julianna and my EDD is March 12, 2020. I found out because my period was late. I work at a Financial Advising firm, but I’m in school to become an elementary teacher! I love movies and traveling. I love my 2 year old fur baby, a Belgian Malinois named Kenai 🐾 My husband to be and I are very excited for our little one to get here in March. It’s our first baby so we are nervous but excited!
Hi everyone! Wow! A lot of March 12 EDDs here I'm Donna and I found out because I missed my period. Nothing too romantic here...lol. This is our first and we're super excited. I'm 39 but will be 40 when I deliver. That being said, although I'm excited, I also get worried quite a lot. I have a question concerning sunscreen. I came across this article and was wondering if it's still accurate. Can I use sunscreen with avobenzone and octocrylene? Any feedback would be appreciated!
Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can't hit the beach. In fact, feeling the sand between your toes and that warm breeze in your hair may provide that perfect "relaxation point" your Lamaze instructor has been talking about. And as your mom always told you: Don't forget the sunscreen.
Sunscreens, including those with ingredients that penetrate the skin, are perfectly safe when you've got your own bun in the oven, says Baumann.
"[Ingredients] that do go deep into the skin do so in such small concentrations" that they're not worth worrying about, says Johnson. "I personally prefer titanium dioxide and zinc oxide ? they are powerful physical sunscreens and do not penetrate the skin."
She adds, "In addition to sunscreen, we advise sun-smart behaviors ? avoiding the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.; using a sun hat, sunglasses and sun-protective clothing; and reapplying your sunscreen every two hours."
And if you have melasma, adds Baumann, you can try a UV protector with a skin lightener.

have been lurking but no no posts yet as I haven’t done a proper intro. Have been sorting through my surprise-baby emotions!!
EDD: 3/9
I found out on the 4th of July. We were hosting a party. I was making these fun watermelon frosé drinks. Well, I knew I was a day or two late (unordinary) and we had one drunk night in Reno... but I just KNEW I wasn’t pregnant. I had a house full of people and I took the test. It came back immediately blaring positive. I almost fell off the toilet.
I’ve been married just shy of 6 years. Two DD (2.5, 4) + one dog that is ours. + Another dog that my husband decided to take in the night before we got the big news 🤦♀️🤦♀️ - Anything you’d like us to know 🙂 My life is crazy right now with a demanding career, business travel, two kids, two dogs and balancing it all. I can’t believe we have another baby on the way. I’m trying to embrace it, but in my mind I keep questioning how this will work.
Anykne know what ever ever happened to that British Super-Nanny, Jojo?? I would like to ask her to come live with us. 😂😂🤣🤣
@zehcnasella: Had a similar experience in here two years ago, so completely get where you’re coming from. No need for #meanmoms 😅
@sweatpea20: we are in similar situations! 2 & 4 year olds and I sooooooo thought we were done. Glad I’m not the only one with a surprise babe. Mine are both girls so we shall see! 😉
@Cristin343 your story is nearly identical to mine. Two girls, 3.5 and 1.5, plus this surprise baby (we wanted a third, but not for a while). Due date for me is 3/10 and I found out the day after the 4th! Welcome!
Hi everyone! I’m expecting my first on March 24 and we just told our families this past weekend. I will be 30 in February. My husband works from home full time and I’m a dentist. We have a corgi who takes all of our love and attention currently—she’s in for a rude awakening this spring 🙈
Fun fact: my mom was due with my sister on 3/24/94 when she was 30 years old! My sister’s birthday is 3/20 so she’s hoping for a birthday buddy
Hi! This is my third pregnancy. I’ve used this app with each but never participated in these. However, I had an ultrasound Monday due to some spotting, and found out I’m having twins! I just really need support right now. Haha. We aren’t sure on the due date yet, I have to go to a different office but tentatively March 26th. I’m married and we have two girls 2 and 8 months. My husband actually had a vasectomy in December, but God had other plans I guess! Haha. I’m a SAHM currently and it doesn’t look like that will change soon, but I plan on possibly being a substitute once all the kiddos are in school.
I’m due 3/22/2020, and I’m pregnant after my first round of IVF. I just heard the heartbeat last week which honestly was the best moment of my life!! My husband and I have been married 3 years. This is our first baby. We do have one fur baby, our maltipoo, Bernie. I’m a social worker and my husband is a transportation supervisor. I’m excited and anxious about this journey and am happy for all the fellow march 2020 moms! ❤️
@corgmom We also have a spoiled little corgi (almost 2 year old male).. hoping he will adapt well to the baby, as he's been great with our 3 year old niece and other kids in the past. Etsy has some adorable corgi onesies and other baby stuff
@corgmom@aprileia Corgis are THE BEST. My female corgi passed away a couple years ago, but I very much plan on adopting another once our kids are a little older
Hello! My EDD is March 15th. My husband i have been trying since January and just got Married in April, so the first day of my missed period I took a test and those 2 pink lines were so strong! I work at a gas station in a tiny town in Idaho, but I love it! I like to go hangout on the farm with my husband while he is working, growing up in Boise and moving to a small farming community has been an interesting transition, but I love every minute of it. This will be our 1st child and we are pretty dang excited!!
