- EDD (Estimated Due Date) July 4, 2020, but I haven't had a first ultrasound yet to confirm how far along I am - How you found out: Had a BFP on Nov 4 - Hobbies, Job, Etc.: Gaming, painting, photography, and just learning how to crochet - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: SO, no kids, three furbabies - Anything youโd like us to know ๐: If all goes well, I'll be a ftm! Just based on the experience alone so far though, I think one kid is enough.
@milkt what do/did you do for work? I just saw where you said you're thankful for not having to work while pregnant.
I was a graphic designer, but I recently left due to aspects of the job that caused me great anxiety and led to a lack of self-care. Luckily my SO's job allows me to be a future SAHM.
- EDD is July 18th (hopeful confirmation on 11/6) - We have been TTC for a good 9 months or so.ย We have 3 children DD is 2, DS is 4 and another DS at 17! Busy house! We have suffered 2 ectopic pregnancies (one which ended in emergency surgery after a ruptured tube) and one MC.ย Thought we were out this month and low and behold got a faint BFP at 11dpo and it's been getting darker ever since!ย - I love being a mama to my three, and God has blessed me with the opportunity to have 60 more babies! I teach two sections of 6th grade english! - So excited to be starting this journey with you gals.ย Praying for sticky babies all around!
Anxiously waiting, first test at 10dpo was a faint + but getting darker ever since
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.ย
Iโm a certified occupational therapy assistant working in skilled nursing/long term care. I used to be an athletic trainer but the schedule was too hard to maintain with a family. My hobbies are anything to do with the outdoors and home improvement projects!

DH and I have been married for almost 3 years. DD is 16 months. Our amazing rescue pit will be 10 in May.ย

*TW* we had an early loss in September, OB prescribed progesterone for this go round, which has worked so far! DDโs pregnancy was tough with 11 weeks of bed rest and delivery at 35weeks, so Iโll be back with high risk MFM for this pregnancy. Just hoping and praying for a happy and healthy pregnancy.
- EDD (Estimated Due Date): July 9th - How you found out: I had gone through a MMC in Sept and this was my first cycle since then. ย I was so nervous to see a positive that I waited 4 days past when my period was supposed to come, โjust in caseโ. ย - Hobbies, Job, Etc.: my husband and I are both workaholics but when we have free time itโs sports, lake life, and wineries/breweries (but not for me for awhile ๐)ย - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: husband is a FTD with this one but is an amazing step dad to my son, who is 18 and now off to college. - Anything youโd like us to know: itโs been a LONG time since Iโve done this whole baby thing, so really feeling like a newbie with all of this. ย So much has changed in 18 years!ย
EDD is July 17, although Iโm fairly certain baby will come earlier (induces both other times early due to preeclampsia with severe features)
Found out after taking a test yesterday. I was five days late, feeling nauseous and had zero desire to drink iced coffee the past few days. The coffee aversion is an aversion Iโve had every time and itโs terrible
Iโm 29 and DH is 32. This is our third baby, we have a three year old girl and a 14 month old girl.ย
Iโm a social worker and DH recently graduated with his PhD in pharmacy and is studying for his exams.ย

Hi everyone! Our EDD is 7/15/20! My husband and I started TTC in early October a month after marriage thinking it would take at least a few months, and obviously we were happily wrong! We found out by taking a test a few days before expected period. The first one came back negative, but I had a weird fever and was having a lot of nausea and hot flashes and was convinced I was pregnant anyway. I took another test a couple days later and voila! I'm a 1-on-1 with special needs preschoolers, and my husband is a firefighter. We live in small New Hampshire town and enjoy hiking and hunting. We have Oreo the cat and 2 adorable little bunbuns, Jessie and Buttons. So excited to meet our little sweetpea and a little nervous this being our first!
Ok, Iโve been lurking since we found out but too scared to join *TW* We had a loss last August so Iโve been pretty nervous this time around but Iโm jumping in!ย
EDD- July 30thย
How you found out- About a week ago I felt really off so I decided to take a test thinking it was probably too early and it was positive. I bought a little baby teething glove and gave it to DH when he got home from work.ย
Hobbies, Job, Etc- I used to teach kindergarten before we had our first and since then Iโve stayed home. Hobby wise, I love anything crafty although I donโt get a lot of time to do that these days.ย
Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies- DH and I met almost 10 years ago. Going on 9 years married. We have 2 girls (5 and 3). We also have a dog, a cat and my mom decided to get our oldest a hamster so now we have a zoo ๐
Anything youโd like us to know- I am scared but really excited. I think the first ultrasound with calm my nerves a bit.ย
- EDD (Estimated Due Date)ย July 18 - How you found outย I got my period on November 9, as expected. I got a BFN the day before. I was so bummed that we didn't get pregnant that cycle. After my period ended, I started taking OPKs but they kept coming up extremely dark. Out of curiosity, took a PG test and lo and behold there was a BFP. Betas came back today, 5 weeks PG. I'm absolutely shocked and incredibly confused right now. - Hobbies, Job, Etc.ย I very happily teach kindergarten.

It feels really weird to be posting here. Fingers crossed my stay is long!
@mama_mea welcome! I totally get not wanting to leave ttgp. I felt super guilty being over here without all of them and still regularly lurk the heck out of the boards.ย
- EDD (Estimated Due Date)ย ย July 29th ish.ย I'll help bring up the rear this time around.ย (I was the first of the month with my son.)ย I have a confirmation visit next Wednesday and I will hopefully schedule an ultrasound.ย I'm dying to see in there!ย
- How you found out :ย I have been charting and temping etc, so when I was about 11 dpo, I tested and there was a line!ย I had a feeling since I had been SO. THIRSTY.ย ย
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. :ย I'm a high school math teacher.ย I teach mostly Statistics and I love my job but man it is hard to be pregnant and do this.ย I'm already dying of fatigue by 2 pm each day!ย ย
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies:ย Husband, Son who turned 2 in September, Furbaby Corgi named Gumbeaux

@JessDG omg... statistics in college almost killed me My friend and I did so well in everything else but really struggled with statistics, for some reason. We spent SO. MUCH. TIME. in our professor's office and I'm certain he bumped up our grades, not only b/c we tried so hard, but also so he wouldn't have to deal with us ever again ย
- EDD (Estimated Due Date)ย ย July 15th or so! Still figuring out the app so Iโm a bit of a late comer
- How you found out : ย BFP on the 11th. Weโve only been trying for a couple of months and I had been on the pill for YEARS beforehand so I wasnโt sure if my symptoms were just my body getting back to itโs normal cycle or if I was pregnant. First thing that really felt different was my boobs being super sore lol.
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. : Iโm a scientist - work in a lab that does cancer and rare disease research. The only person Iโve told so far other than my husband is our EHS person to make sure everything was safe for me and baby! Otherwise I like to read/bake/hike with hubby ๐
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: DH and I have been married since last year. Iโll be a FTM if all goes well and we have no Furbabies either, so it will be a big adjustment!
- Anything youโd like us to know ๐:ย Iโm really excited that this is a part of the Bump - Iโve been having a lot of anxiety about pretty much everything and itโs been so helpful to read all of your messages and how youโre all doing. Canโt wait to get to know you all over these next few months!
ย Im a forum newbie so this is weird for me but Iโm excited to keep up with everyone!ย
Edd - July 27
how I found out - hubs and I had been trying and I assumed I wasnโt this month. I tested the day before my missed period and got a faint line, went out and bought a digital test and it was a yes! Very excited but nervous, I couldnโt believe it! ย this is my first ย pregnancy/child if all goes well.
hobbies/job: have a German Shepherd and a cat, love fashion and interior design, and nature!ย
Hey Everyone!ย EDD is July 28th. Just got hcg results back from dr today and they are doubling! This will be our first baby. Husband and I love in VT, we are both science teachers. Had a miscarriage in June, so Iโve been pretty anxious so far, but things seem to be going well! I had a feeling I was just โoffโ last week and took a pregnancy test, which came back positive. ๐ Iโm really excited for this journey and wish you all lots of health and happiness along the way!ย
Hi fellow July Moms to be!! My estimated due date is July 22nd, which happens to be five days before my husband's birthday. We found out the 2nd day of my missed period. I had been tracking ovulation so I knew it was likely (although it didn't feel that way). Wee baby has one older fur-sibling, my very good boy Dobby.
I'm so excited, anxious, and frustrated that I can't tell anyone yet so I'm excited to get to know you all! We have plans to tell our parents at Christmas with some cute "Grandparents Again, July 2020" mugs. Is anyone else planning a holiday reveal to their family?
Hi everyone! I am trying to figure out how all of this works but I would like to introduce myself!ย - EDD (Estimated Due Date) - My due date is estimated to be July 15th!ย - How you found out - My husband and I haven't been preventing for a while but just missing the mark each month and on the second month of really trying to make sure we hit the mark, I was so impatient for two weeks and had a negative test when I tested early. I knew I tested too early so I waited and tested again the next day for a very faint positive. One day on my lunch break, I just had to test again and there it was! No denying it!ย - Hobbies, Job, Etc. - I am a pretty active person, I love running, lifting, hiking, camping, hunting, etc.ย I am a physical education teacher, my husband is one as well. I also am a head track coach for indoor and outdoor which will be starting right about my second trimester so I am a little nervous how I am going to make it through without wanting to fall asleep everywhere.ย ย - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies - My husband and I have been married for a year and a half and been together for 4 and a half years.ย He brought a wonderful dog Turk into our family and I brought a sassy cat, Nickles. They get along great but then we brought a little orange hyper kitten into the house that does seem to wear them out pretty good. Oops! No kids, this will be our first so we are crazy excited and crazy nervous as well about everything.ย I have not had a doctors visit yet, my doctor likes to wait until 10 weeks and I wish the time would go faster so I can feel sure that nothing is wrong..ย
EDD (Estimated Due Date): July 13 - How did you found out:ย I had a feeling that I may had been pregnant but I kept pushing that aside for about a week. It may sound superstitious but I had a dream where my unfortunately estranged mother was talking to me and kept saying I was pregnant I told her in the dream I wasn't sure and before I woke up she said "just listen to your body" the next day I took a test!!
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. I love spending time with my family and hanging out with my puppy. I used to be in the restaurant business but the time demand was so much that I wanted to get out and focus on my family and partner. I did a complete 180 and am a duck out of water in a new career field called dentistry ๐ณ. I so far have enjoyed it but it is very hard to learn something so foreign so fast.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: I've been with my handsome partner for 4 years now and he is truly the best thing in my life! We have a 3 year old chocolate lab who seriously gets more compliments than Beyonce and has twice the attitude haha
- Anything youโd like us to know: I'm so happy to be pregnant but we have had 2 miscarriages already. One was very early the other was at 22 weeks I also had a partial molar and have a history of early pre-eclampsia. I'm finding it hard to find joy this time. I just walk on egg shells constantly waiting for the ceiling to collapse. I feel a little robbed but I'm trying to find as much happiness and positivity as I can.ย
Welcome @hazelnut_227! I'm sorry you're feeling robbed of the early joy, I can relate to that a bit. I was so naive during my first pregnancies- going through a loss is brutal and changes how you experience pregnancy. The PGAL weekly check-in is nice, with many who can empathize.ย
Hi! Itโs weird to be here again. Iโm a 4th time mama. Iโm 29 and DH is 27. Been married to my husband for 5 years. EDD is July 25 but I canโt confirm until I get to the dr in a few weeks. I currently have a 3.5 year old daughter, 2 year old son, and a 10 month old son. Soooo 4 kids in 4 years but I love it. I stay home with my babies and am a freelance graphic designer.
@rachstar18 Iโm so excited for you, and excited to share a BMB with you again.ย

- EDD (Estimated Due Date): July 29 - How you found out: been tracking my cycle closely and took a pregnancy test as soon as I thought it could tell me. Wish I could just be surprised at like 6 weeks but Iโm too anxious.ย - Hobbies, Job, Etc. : running, doing crafts when I have time, yardwork... and work full time for a tech consultancy.

- EDD (Estimated Due Date): July 31 or Aug 1, depending on which app you use to check... I will likely be an August momma, but the August group isn't open.ย

My EDD is July 19. I had implantation bleeding a week after I had a positive ovulation test. At first, I thought my period was coming early, but it seemed too soon after ovulation. When it stopped I decided to take a test and it was positive around 9DPO! I continued to test to make sure my line got darker since I tested so early. I work as a community based doula and enrollment supervisor for a home visiting program. Iโve been married for 5 years and we have two sons, ages 4 and 2. We also have a dog and 2 cats. Iโve been lurking more than posting in recent weeks because Iโm paranoid my baby wonโt stick, but Iโve decided a positive mindset can only help!ย
Hi all, excited to be on this journey with you all!
- EDD
~July 22, pending US appointment in December
- How you found out
Husband and I have been TTC
for 3 months. I took an early detection test 5 days out from expected period,
got a very faint positive. Four more tests over 3 days confirmed it! It was my
birthday weekend too, so this was really the best gift I could have gotten. I
havenโt had any symptoms yet, other than being really tired and slightly nauseous, but Iโm sure everything
will start kicking in soon enough.
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.ย
Iโm a Civil Engineer. These
days I mostly enjoy Netflixing with the husband. Iโm a self-taught crafter and (novice)
seamstress, so I like to work projects in here and there.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies
Husband and I have been
married for 5 years. We donโt have any kids yet, this will be our first! We have
a long hair tortie cat Mu and a boxer/collie/etc. mutt Benji who I lovingly
call my sweet little idiot. ย
- Anything youโd like us to knowย
3 years ago I was diagnosed
with dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. In the last year and a half, weโve
managed to bring the disease pretty well under control with medication, which
allowed the husband and I to start talking seriously about having kids. Iโm cautiously
optimistic that Iโll see some additional improvement during the pregnancy and I've got my OB and rheum keeping a good eye on me!
- EDD (Estimated Due Date) According to my LMP July 6th but I have not had my dating US yet - How you found outย My husband was actually due to go have his swimmers tested because we had been TTC for almost two years. I told him I would take a test the day before his appointment since it was the day I was expected to start. Iโm pretty sure he was more excited he could skip his test than he was about my BFP! - Hobbies, Job, Etc. I am a high school CTE teacher. I teach pre-engineering and robotics. I also love to craft and read in my little spare time. ย - Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies My husband and I have been married for over two years and our baby is actually almost due on our 10 year dating anniversary.

Had a miscarriage in June, so Iโve been pretty anxious so far, but things seem to be going well! I had a feeling I was just โoffโ last week and took a pregnancy test, which came back positive. ๐ Iโm really excited for this journey and wish you all lots of health and happiness along the way!ย
I'm so excited, anxious, and frustrated that I can't tell anyone yet so I'm excited to get to know you all! We have plans to tell our parents at Christmas with some cute "Grandparents Again, July 2020" mugs. Is anyone else planning a holiday reveal to their family?
- EDD (Estimated Due Date) - My due date is estimated to be July 15th!ย
- How you found out - My husband and I haven't been preventing for a while but just missing the mark each month and on the second month of really trying to make sure we hit the mark, I was so impatient for two weeks and had a negative test when I tested early. I knew I tested too early so I waited and tested again the next day for a very faint positive. One day on my lunch break, I just had to test again and there it was! No denying it!ย
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. - I am a pretty active person, I love running, lifting, hiking, camping, hunting, etc.ย I am a physical education teacher, my husband is one as well. I also am a head track coach for indoor and outdoor which will be starting right about my second trimester so I am a little nervous how I am going to make it through without wanting to fall asleep everywhere.ย ย
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies - My husband and I have been married for a year and a half and been together for 4 and a half years.ย He brought a wonderful dog Turk into our family and I brought a sassy cat, Nickles. They get along great but then we brought a little orange hyper kitten into the house that does seem to wear them out pretty good. Oops! No kids, this will be our first so we are crazy excited and crazy nervous as well about everything.ย I have not had a doctors visit yet, my doctor likes to wait until 10 weeks and I wish the time would go faster so I can feel sure that nothing is wrong..ย
I am 25 and I have a 5 year old sonand a two year old daughter.ย
been with my husband for 6 years.ย
Also, I totally did the same thing with a class in college.ย I'm confident I passed becauase I was super annoying.ย ย
- How did you found out:ย I had a feeling that I may had been pregnant but I kept pushing that aside for about a week. It may sound superstitious but I had a dream where my unfortunately estranged mother was talking to me and kept saying I was pregnant I told her in the dream I wasn't sure and before I woke up she said "just listen to your body" the next day I took a test!!
- Hobbies, Job, Etc. I love spending time with my family and hanging out with my puppy. I used to be in the restaurant business but the time demand was so much that I wanted to get out and focus on my family and partner. I did a complete 180 and am a duck out of water in a new career field called dentistry ๐ณ. I so far have enjoyed it but it is very hard to learn something so foreign so fast.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies: I've been with my handsome partner for 4 years now and he is truly the best thing in my life! We have a 3 year old chocolate lab who seriously gets more compliments than Beyonce and has twice the attitude haha
- Anything youโd like us to know: I'm so happy to be pregnant but we have had 2 miscarriages already. One was very early the other was at 22 weeks I also had a partial molar and have a history of early pre-eclampsia. I'm finding it hard to find joy this time. I just walk on egg shells constantly waiting for the ceiling to collapse. I feel a little robbed but I'm trying to find as much happiness and positivity as I can.ย
So hi everyone nice to meet you!

Hi all, excited to be on this journey with you all!
- EDD
~July 22, pending US appointment in December
- How you found out
Husband and I have been TTC for 3 months. I took an early detection test 5 days out from expected period, got a very faint positive. Four more tests over 3 days confirmed it! It was my birthday weekend too, so this was really the best gift I could have gotten. I havenโt had any symptoms yet, other than being really tired and slightly nauseous, but Iโm sure everything will start kicking in soon enough.
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.ย
Iโm a Civil Engineer. These days I mostly enjoy Netflixing with the husband. Iโm a self-taught crafter and (novice) seamstress, so I like to work projects in here and there.
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies
Husband and I have been married for 5 years. We donโt have any kids yet, this will be our first! We have a long hair tortie cat Mu and a boxer/collie/etc. mutt Benji who I lovingly call my sweet little idiot. ย
- Anything youโd like us to knowย
3 years ago I was diagnosed with dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease. In the last year and a half, weโve managed to bring the disease pretty well under control with medication, which allowed the husband and I to start talking seriously about having kids. Iโm cautiously optimistic that Iโll see some additional improvement during the pregnancy and I've got my OB and rheum keeping a good eye on me!
According to my LMP July 6th but I have not had my dating US yet
- How you found outย
My husband was actually due to go have his swimmers tested because we had been TTC for almost two years. I told him I would take a test the day before his appointment since it was the day I was expected to start. Iโm pretty sure he was more excited he could skip his test than he was about my BFP!
- Hobbies, Job, Etc.
I am a high school CTE teacher. I teach pre-engineering and robotics. I also love to craft and read in my little spare time. ย
- Spouse, Partner, Kids, or Furbabies
My husband and I have been married for over two years and our baby is actually almost due on our 10 year dating anniversary. We have two huskies who we lovingly call our jerks.ย
- Anything youโd like us to know ๐
Iโm a FTM and first time pregnant so I am anxiously awaiting my first US to hear the heartbeat on December 12thย
This will be baby #4 for us- we've got an 8, 6, and 18 month old. We had an early mc last May so I'm joining in cautiously but hopefully!
