Re: Introductions! *Introduce yourself here first!*
Found out because I get super bloated when pregnant from really early and so i took a test one day before my missed period and it was positive. 😊
Stay at home mom and started homeschooling our oldest for JK this year.
Married for 7 years to my husband (who is currently home doing school online) and we have 3 kids. 4, 2 and 1.
39yrs old this month. Previous 2 miscarriages and no children currently. Was about to start iui. With initial blood test found out I was already pregnant. Last year on my birthday I found out I had my 2nd miscarriage. I am truly hopeful this birthday will be different. Well wishes and good luck with your pregnancy ladies
- How you found out - squinter that has progressively gotten darker!
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. Middle school language arts teacher
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies Husband, 2 boys ages 5 and 3, and a dog!
- Anything you’d like us to know 🙂 I'm excited the June BMB is finally here! My first was due in June 14 so it's fun to be on a June BMB again. Also, I've been hanging around May for the past week so I'm glad they finally set this one up. I may or may not have e-mailed about it last night haha. I've had my BFP for a week and a half already!
Found out on CD19 after having a gut feeling. This is pregnancy#3, we have a 4.5 year old son and daughter turned 2 in August.
I'm a former math teacher, now a SAHM.
We always wanted 3 kids, so I'm super excited for this pregnancy. Hoping to enjoy every second, knowing this will be our last baby.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 9 months!
EDD: June 5
We weren’t planning to try until January but werent being super careful. I had some ovulation symptoms earlier than expected, so i checked around a week and a half later and got a positive! We’re thrilled. *TW* I lost my pregnancy at 12 weeks due to Down syndrome on June 20. Even though we planned to wait longer, I’m really happy our due date is before that anniversary.
I stay at home with my 2 and 4 year old boys. They keep me pretty busy!
EDD: 6/4/20
DH and I have been trying to have our second child for 4 years! We have been through 3 IUI’s, 4 rounds of IVF and were starting paperwork to adopt. I am a few days late and decided to test. I am still in shock that it was positive. We have had to MC’s so I am very cautiously optimistic!
Im excited to get to know you ladies! I am still friends with a lot ignored girls from my sons BMB and it’s such a great way to find support during a crazy time! ❤️
This will be our third baby! We have two daughters; the oldest is 3.5 and the youngest will be 2 in December. I was a teacher but have been a SAHM since having our first.
My wife and I have a three-year-old son conceived via IUI (I carried him too) and this time we did reciprocal IVF- so it’s my wife’s egg! We only had one embryo so we are ecstatic that it took. When the fertility center called to tell me I was pregnant, I drove to my wife’s work and waited out front with a big bunch of pink and blue balloons. I’m 41 so we were running out of time!
I work at the courthouse in Seattle in family law, and my wife works in the animal shelter industry. We love to hike and we are sober in AA (many years) and vegan. Looking forward to going on this journey with all of you!
i found out i was pregnant last night so not confirmed by a dr with a due date but the 13 ish is a guess.
My husband and I have been gearing up to have our second for a while now so it is a very welcomed answer. We have an almost 4 year old son and I was last a part of the dec/Jan 2015/2016 boards. I say two groups because I was on the 2016 board and then my son came a week early and snuck in December. I am Very much looking forward to a spring baby.
i am a sahm but I also teach pottery classes and am an art therapist. I am a chronic migraine sufferer so interested (and scared) to see what pregnancy does. I was told it could help!
wishing everyone and their pregnancy’s the best. Looking forward to getting to know you.

- Anything you’d like us to know 🙂. It’s been a weird start to this pregnancy. 5 days light hpt before it got super dark. low progesterone in week 4 but hcg started doubling and I’m feeling hopefully optimistic and hoping the progesterone helps. I also have had hypermesis with both my boys. So I’m waiting to throw up. Just light nausea on and off now. Maybe I’ll be lucky 😀

Found out: ran out of my progesterone tablets for the cycle so had to test on 12 DPO. It was super positive-confirmed by blood test later that day! I can hardly believe it.
My husband and I have been married for almost four years and this will be sweet baby #2. Our daughter is 17 months old and I had just finished breastfeeding her at the beginning of September.
*TW I had some crazy postpartum complications with her delivery resulting in many surgeries and days of hospital stay. we’ve been praying for 16 months now we’d be able to have more babies so I seriously bawled when I saw the test. Now hoping so hard that my body can do this right this time and for a healthy 9 months!

The night before I took a test, we were sitting down with our realtor going over offers on our place and one of the offers included a personal letter that made me super teary-eyed. I figured I should probably take a test the next day!

- Hobbies, Job, Etc. I work with kids.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies Live with my DH, 6 year old daughter, and my Bichon.
- Anything you’d like us to know 🙂 *TW I was pretty sure I was having another loss two nights ago. I had a low initial beta (rose well, but started low) and then spotting. After getting my 3rd beta today, with a doubling time of 27 hours. I feel a bit better.

Anything you’d like us to know: My son was born 6 weeks premature due to preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome so it's gonna be something we keep a keen eye out for this time!
As the (current) resident IT person I would be happy to start up a Spreadsheet for us if everyone would like one! We had one in my previous BMB and it made it easier to keep track of everyone's due dates and everything!

Excited to meet you all!

"Expectation is the mother of all frustration" -Antonio Banderas

Anything you’d like us to know: first pregnancy and terrified (normal, right?)
I'm not sure it matters what number pregnancy, they're all terrifying
I'd recommend changing your username to something else that would be easier for others to use to refer to you by. Knottie blahblahblah is quite cumbersome and difficult to tag.
My husband and I have been married for 6 years, but together for 15 years. We have a 2 year old son.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone! Glad to see this board is getting more organized and established!
- EDD June 1st
- How you found out HPT...like 7 of them! I was having mild cramps for a day or so but no bleeding so I decided to test on the day I was suppose to start my period. Saw that faint little pink line, freaked out, went to buy more tests (and a pizza because why not?), saw more pink lines, blue plus signs and yes in the digital box. I also had an ultrasound a few days ago (5w-3d) and we were able to see the gestational sac hanging out in the uterus so we are definitely knocked up! YAY!
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. For work, Im a behavioral analyst and work with children on the Autism spectrum. For hobbies, I love to travel, music festivals and shows, hiking, flea/antique markets, recently have been getting into water coloring. My husband and I love to check out new restaurants and breweries (not anymore!).
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies - My husband and I have been married for about 2 and half years, we have been together for 11 years (since we were babies at 19). Our Maltipoo, Fitzgerald, is our insanely spoiled fur baby who is about to have a very rude awakening!
Really excited to get to know everyone and learn from all the experienced Momma's on this board!
I am a K-6 Music teacher, working two days a week and I love it. My biggest hobby is running, and I actually ran a 5k race this morning. I am signed up for a 16k race in a couple weeks... we'll see how that goes now lol.
I have been married to my husband for almost 10 years (anniversary is February!) We were both babies when we got married (20 lol) and I just turned 30 this year. We have two other little ones, my daughter who is 2.5 and my son who just turned 1. I am absolutely terrified right now.... we are going to have a busy family when this little one comes along!! 3 under 4 here we come.... oh man lol.
Nice to meet all of you... and excited to venture through this pregnancy with all of you
