Re: Introductions! *Introduce yourself here first!*
- EDD (Estimated Due Date) 6/22/20
- How you found out: I had been waiting to POAS since we has our IUI and the day before my missed period did and it was positive at 5am right before I went to wor .
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.: I'm a Certified Nurse Midwife which makes being pregnant a little different because my whole job is knowing about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: Husband of 8yrs, one DS who turned 4 in August, 5 goats, and 3 dogs (all outdoors)
EDD - My estimated due date is June 23rd.
How you found out - My husband and I have been trying for a few months but our timing has been bad so I wasn't expecting anything. I decided to take a test early because why not. Didn't see anything the first minute and figured I test again in a few days. I left the bathroom for a few minutes then came back in to brush my teeth and there were two very visible lines. No squinting at all. I was very surprised.
Hobbies, Job, Etc - I work in marketing at a big corporation. It pays the bills but I have no work life balance so that's kind of a bummer. My hobbies are photography, being lazy/watching Netflix and hanging out with my husband and son. I was a competitive horseback rider but horses have taken a backseat since I took this job.
Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies - My husband and I have been married for a little over 5 years. He's a cop in a big city. His job scares me, but he loves it. We have a 3 year old son and a 9 year old rescue dog.
I can't wait to get to know you all better! Congratulations everyone!
Time for kid leashes. Lol, not kidding.
Also, we have a boy and a girl already. For the first time, I literally have zero gender preference. None at all.

I'm a September 2016 mama, too
Due date is 6/19/2020 based on LMP.
I was a day or two late starting my period, and I was in denial. My husband was traveling, and asked if I started yet. I took that as a sign to go to the dollar store to get my trusty $1 pee test. Bright line appeared! Husband was on a plane, so I told my sister in law first.
My son just turned 7. Daughter will be 5 next week. I was so excited they were both going to be in school all day next year, and I could take classes for my bachelors degree. I couldnt decide between the in person at USF or online at UF. But now I'll have a baby! So I will be applying for the online degree. Lol.
My husband and I have been together for 12 years. Married 7. He is a musician, and travels a lot. Its been tough since we moved away from my grandma, who would help watch the kids.
I have my Biology A.A. and I am taking classes for Biotechnology A.S. I will be transferring into UF for molecular and cell biology. I love anything that has to do with reproductive science/genetics. I teach childbirth education for a local homebirth midwifery practice. I already told my midwife.
I was sad at first. Changes are hard for me. I plan things out years in advance. But it is exciting. The kids are older and will be so much more helpful. I know they will love it. I want to keep this time a surprise for gender again. We didn't find out with our son. It was the greatest thing, hearing my husband say, 'its a boy! I have a son!'
I’m not 100% sure that I believe the O date fertility friend gave me, but as of right now I’m going with an EDD of June 22.
We’re both very wary and afraid after our experience last month, but I’m trying to enjoy being pregnant and take things day by day. My mom turns 50 on June 16th so I’m so excited that she’ll get her first grandchild for her birthday.
- Suspected a few days after ovulation since I was having huge temp spikes! It seemed like FOREVER till I could take a HPT!
- Reading, Orangetheory, Librarian
- Husband and I live in the midwest with our crazy chocolate lab and tabby cat
- So excited and terrified at the same time - this will be our first
Congrats!
My estimated due date is June 21st (this is also my wedding anniversary 😂)
If ound out I was pregnant last night! I had my suspicions anyway, but what made me buy the test was the fact I was crying while watching cartoons with my daughter. Weepiness is very out if character for me and I just couldn't stop crying!
I am a SAHM to my wonderful 2 year old daughter. I've been married to my husband for 5 years. We do have an angel baby that I ended up misscarrying last month. We also have a mini Australian Shepherd puppy named daisy ❤️ I love to read, hang out with my family, take naps and I dabble some in sketching and painting.
I'm excited to be on this journey and I can't wait to get to know you all!
- EDD (Estimated Due Date): June 22nd (I think)
- How you found out: Took a test mostly on a whim, as I was totally certain I wasn't pregnant, but figured it couldn't hurt since I thought my period was a few days late (not totally unusual, though later I realized that I got the expected date of period wrong so it actually wasn't supposed to happen yet) and was planning to go to a bar to watch football where I knew I'd want a few beers. Was totally shocked, may have yelled a few expletives. The line was super dark in under 30 seconds, I actually took a second test just to be sure (same result). We've been trying for 15 months andhad already had my uterus play some pranks on me (in June I was utterly positive I was pregnant while away for work, I learned how to ask for a pregnancy test in Polish and was completely confused/depressed when it was negative) so I was starting to get discouraged. I'm also 34, so getting near the dreaded "over 35" age bracket.
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.: I'm an economist, mostly focusing on international trade policy, so I'm all about the data. Complete irony that the one month that I don't religiously track my period/ovulation (yes, I have 3 separate apps to do so) is the month I get pregnant. As for hobbies, I like cooking, traveling, reading, and paddling (i.e. kayaking, canoeing, dragon boating).
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: Been married for just over 2 years, though together for 7. This is our first, though we do have an incredibly spoiled and clingy 12-year-old cat.
- Anything you’d like us to know: Not gonna lie, the 72-hour wait until I could post was *killing* me. I get the reason why, but I had so many random questions/thoughts/fears/hopes and no one to subject them to, gah! (Ok, maybe my husband, but trying to not burn him out just yet...) Trying to wait until my 8-week appointment to tell our parents and then 12 weeks for everyone else. Just in time for the holidays!
I wasn’t having any symptoms, but I was one day late on my period. I did a test and it was positive. I’ve never tried to get pregnant before and I just couldn’t believe it. Anyone else crazy enough to do five tests “just to make sure”?
EDD: June 28th
We did a reciprocal IVF (high fives @KristiMcqueen !) with the transfer on October 11. Tomorrow is the beta and I held out to POAS until this morning, when we got a definitive positive! We are so so thrilled.
I'm an elementary music teacher too, just like @kavidiwan ! So I guess we can make up silly songs for you all about the absurdities of gestation.
My husband is trans (we froze his eggs before he starting taking testosterone a few years ago). We married this past August, but we've been together for 3 years. I have a 4yo daughter from a previous marriage, and we also have two big ol' brown rescue pups.
It's been 5 years since I've been on the Bump, but it's good to be back.
Good to see some familiar names here!
- EDD (Estimated Due Date): June 23, but last time was induced at 36/37 weeks. Planning to be better prepared this time!
- How you found out: H convinced me to POAS a few days before missed AF, and what do you know?! We had started TTGP this cycle and are shocked but thrilled that this time we get to be the SS!
- Hobbies, Job, Etc: Work in finance for startups. Love reading, baking and decorating for the holidays, and family time. I am also running my first half marathon in 2 weeks!
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: H and I have been married 8 years, we have a 2 yr old Bernese fluffbaby, and a 20 month daughter who is the center of our world.
- Anything you’d like us to know: AMA here! Last pregnancy went fairly smoothly with the exception of nausea until week 32 and the early induction, hoping this one is just as good and maybe the AMA status will get me some extra ultrasounds of the babe!
@kiki75 Hi! Congrats!
I *do* love that Aldi (smart local grocery store), Costco, and Home Depot have carts for 2 kids, but only Target has carts for 3.
Might have to stop shopping at Walmart entirely, their carts only seat 1. But adding the 3 means I'm wearing baby early on, and then around 5 months if I'm ready to finally stop dealing with that for every single errand (I hate the in/out of car while baby wearing) I generally have to let big kid walk.
Also, double stroller is something I can't lift into car myself until probably 5/6 months postpartum. It's great to use from our house, but it's a jogger and weighs 50 lbs by itself. It doesn't do errands, or shopping, or really inside anywhere. Our single has a rumble seat, so that's less of an issue and still mostly holds two kids...but again, the third kid problem. I need a trailer for our wagon!!!!

How you found out
I was 1 day late! I was also getting some lower back pain so I took a test and there it was! Told my husband that day. Hid the test in his shoe so when we were getting ready to head out for the night he saw it. Got it on film and his reaction was priceless!

We’re nervous about this pregnancy after suffering a loss at 7 weeks in July, but we’re hopeful that this one will stick! 🙂
My EDD is June 21, 2020 with my first!
I'm so excited about this pregnancy, as much as I'm terrified. I found out last Monday when I felt like my period had been coming since Friday but had nothing to show for it. We've been working with a fertility clinic and were basically told our option would be IVF. Because of that, I was desperately waiting on my period to contact them so we could move forward with treatment planning. I took a test quickly to just be sure and was shocked to see a blazing positive. I assumed it was wrong and went out to buy another test to be sure. Sure enough, it was an undeniable positive!!!
I'm a middle school teacher who constantly hears from her students it's time for me to have kids. They'll be thrilled when we get to the point of sharing! I also love hiking and kayaking, enjoying bonfires, and am working on taking up gardening. I am a huge traveler, though I know this will change a little now.
My husband and I celebrate our second anniversary tomorrow and couldn't be more thrilled. Our nine-year-old lab-boxer mix will probably disagree with us a little on that, though!
Honestly, I'm terrified of losing this baby because of how long we've been trying and because of my consultations with the fertility specialist. I had a doctor's appointment on Friday to check hormone levels just to be safe and got a call saying everything looks great and that there's no need to repeat any blood tests, so that's positive. And if my symptoms say anything about this pregnancy sticking, I should be good!
So grateful to have a community of ladies during this exciting time of change!
i found out because i didn’t feel right; super tired, crampy, and sick to my stomach all. day. long.. We drove to the store down the street and bought a test and it was clear as day!
We have a rescue dog who keeps us on our toes!
- How you found out: a friend recently gave me a bunch of ovulation and pregnancy tests because she knew my husband and I were TTC. I decided to take a pregnancy test on a whim at 11 dpo and was surprised to see a faint line! I took a series of 7 more tests over the past week, just to confirm this is really happening!
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.: self-employed artist
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: My husband and I recently celebrated our 6 year anniversary and we have one eskie furbaby.
I'm tentatively posting in after my BFP today on a HPT. 😍 EDD 26 June 2020.
We have been TFAS trying for a year and I've been charting. I hadn't tested yet because I wasn't sure of the ovulation date FF gave me and I'm one week away from turning in my masters thesis and figured I didn't need the distraction. But I felt kind of off today and thought I might as well... What a happy surprise.
I'm 39 and DH is 37. We have one son, who turns 2 in less than a month. *TW* We struggled for almost 5yrs to get pregnant with our first and it was hard to feel like it was "real" until well into 2nd tri. Part of that tentativeness came immediately back when I saw two pink lines. FX everything works out. */TW*
My D17 BMB is still active as a Facebook group and we're gearing up to celebrate the kids'second birthdays. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!
Sticky bean dust, and I'm hoping for happy & healthy pregnancies for you all!
