Other children/pets? 1.5 year old twin boys and two cats
Job? Administrative assistant for a couple different people
Things you like to do? Garden, play volleyball, fish, ice fish, be creative
Spouse/partner? My husband and I have been together since I was 15 and will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary next month.
First appointment? I had my beta blood draw yesterday and it was 99.7 and will have the second tomorrow. My first ultrasound will be the week of October 11th
Any symptoms? Not really. I felt terrible the day before I popped a BFP on a home test, and the day after, but since then I’ve felt pretty “me” if not just a bit bloated.
Other children/pets? One 5yo boy. His two goldfish, and one cat and one dog.
Job? Pre-pandemic I was a swim coach for babies and toddlers. But now just SAHM
Things you like to do? Watch movies, cooking and baking, reading, hiking and camping, I love all the fall festivals this time of year, also sitting in silence haha.
Spouse/partner? My husband is 5yrs older than me. We’ve been together for 17yrs, married 8.
First appointment? Ugh. My OB changed things for COVID. Virtual appointment at 6 weeks (oct 12) then first ultrasound at 10-12 weeks. I’m so not happy with this set up. I don’t like that I won’t get to verify the pregnancy, a heartbeat, make sure it’s there, until almost the second trimester? Ugh. 🤷🏻♀️
Any symptoms? Exhaustion. I’ll be fine and then out of nowhere my body is like “woman sit down and fall asleep! Now!” Haha. I had crazy implantation cramps, that why I tested so early. And in and off I’ve felt cramps here and there.
Some moments of nausea. With my son I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum (it’s severe vomiting and nausea) and it started around week 5, so I’m really anxious about it. It’s taken me this long to want another baby because if the mental and emotional trauma that going through HG left behind. So far it’s just fleeting moments of nausea.
I’m also kind of still not fully grasping that it’s a reality yet. Like yes, I know I’m pregnant, but at the same time, I keep taking questioning if I imagined the BFP - all 9 of them… 😂

Hi @knottie1441493215 and @knottie37b86b7fa542a275 welcome! if you could change your Username to something more unique so you are easier to tag and get to know that would be great for all of us!

Other children/pets? None
Job? Teacher

First appointment? Haven't had one yet
Any symptoms? None! Which makes me wonder.. am I REALLY pregnant???

Any symptoms? My giveaway seems to be when I start complaining it is hot or humid and my husband doesn’t agree. Normally he is always hot I’m always cold. Both times I’ve said “geez it’s so hot in here” around 10 dpo and he looked at me like a crazy person haha - this time he just said “It’s not hot in here I bet you’re pregnant!” 😂
I am so looking forward to getting to know you all! Where is everybody from? Any other Canadians in this group?
Things you like to do? Cook, spend time with my family and pets, online shop :p
Spouse/partner? My husband and I have been together 4 and a half years and have been married for a little over a year. We went on our belated honeymoon the beginning of September which happened to fall on my fertile window so we decided we would start trying and a few weeks later BFP!
First appointment? Not scheduled yet. I had to get a referral from my PCP so now just waiting on the OBGYN to call.
Any symptoms? I had the worst gas pains and constipation of my life for a few days, but now just feeling super tired all the time. I get a little queasy at night, but nothing bad yet. I've been super weepy and a little extra spicy lol. Also have puffy, sore nipples.
Estimated due date between June 4 - 10; always been hard to pin point since I have irregular cycles. I had 7 fertile days this cycle according to my OPK!
I have four older kids! Two boys, two girls. This will be number 5.
I took 2 HPTs yesterday and 1 today. The lines have been incredibly faint but obvious on all three. It still doesn’t seem real. It’s early still but I’ve never seen lines so faint so I’m going to test again on Saturday!
I have a wonderful husband who is ready for more chaos around the house.
I have been in and out of this forum for the past 10 years I believe! I have an 11 year old (DD), 7 year old (DS), and 3 year old (DS).
I just found out about this pregnancy Friday last week and am still in shock! I’ve never been able to get pregnant “on accident” lol 😂 all of my babies took years of trying, hence them each being 4 years apart in age. I got a Beta done on Monday bc I have had 2 miscarriages between my second and third boys, and I was at 618! Kinda nervous, super excited, definitely exhausted, lol I’ve been with my husband for 15 years this February and he’s excited to add what he says is another girl to our crew (he hasn’t been wrong yet).
Also my due date is somewhere between June 3 and 5th, my cycles are all over the place bc I have hypothyroidism. Another reason I didn’t think I could get pregnant, but here I am 5 hpts later!
I know it looks like I'm a newbie but I'm not, I just don't remember my old login since it's been three years. I'm working on changing my username, too. Sent the email! I'm amazed that I'm pregnant. It took almost three years to get pregnant with my second child I thought it would be difficult with this one too, but nope! It happened immediately. Pretty sure it's because I've been working on getting healthier this year. I have crohn's disease and tend to be very anemic. Earlier this year I got my first iron infusion and been working closely with my doctor on other vitamin levels. Got my vitamin d up and feeling great. Apparently my body was ready for this to happen!
Due date? 6/8/2022 which feels so surreal!
How’d you find out? Tests at home (2) at 12 DPO, one day after missed period and one yesterday just to confirm.
Other children/pets? Two daughters ages 8 and 3, one dog and one cat.
Job? Part time assistant, I help an old colleague run her business by helping with her social media and podcast editing. But I'm mostly a mom.
Things you like to do? Write, read...I used to do theater but that kind of died when I had my kids but I still appreciate it from afar. I also used to work in animal behavior (which is why I help my friend with her business because she has a training business) but stopped once I got pregnant with #2.
Spouse/partner? Yes, husband of 12 years.
First appointment? Probably end of October, haven't made it yet.
Any symptoms? Nausea at night, bloating, tender breasts.
Hi @kaylaseron! I’m also expecting my fifth (although mine are much further apart than yours). I love these forums because in real life I don’t know anyone else with five kids!
Hi everyone! Excited to be here! I'm formerly ginny203 on my November 2018 BMB but can't seem to figure out how to log in with that username!
Due date? June 6

How’d you find out? WELL! I’m not “supposed” to be able to get pregnant again and we are on the wait list to adopt. But I usually take a test right before my induced period each month just to be safe and it was positive! I’m still a little shocked.

My first appointment is at the end of October and it's going to be very hard to wait that long to confirm viability. I had a mmc in February and am well aware of mc risk given my age. The symptoms I have had so far are sore boobs, fatigue and irritability. Of course, the last two could be anything lol.
