How’d you find out? At home pregnancy test followed by blood work the next day.
Other children/pets? First baby! No pets.
Job? Senior clinical research coordinator and supervisor
Things you like to do? I love the outdoors and going on adventures to find cool hiking places. I love to dance, primarily Latin music (salsa, cumbia, bachata). I enjoy a good workout at the gym and watching Netflix while I scroll through my phone.
Spouse/partner? My partner and I have been together for almost 12 years. College sweethearts 🥰
First appointment? I had my first appointment back in November At 8 weeks where I got to see the first glimpse of my tiny human. It was not camera shy and gave the perfect profile pic of mostly head and little body.
Any symptoms? I had terrible morning sickness to the point of not being able to get out of bed at times during the first trimester. When second trimester kicked in, I was a whole new person! As of now, I occasionally get cramps in my hips during the night. Doctor said it was due to ligament pain.
Due date? June 16th, although i’m expecting her to be born early
How’d you find out? took a test at 8 weeks because I just had a feeling. I’m on birth control so I don’t get periods.
Other children/pets? no, we were looking to adopt a puppy from the shelter but decided against it when we found out i’m pregnant
Job? mainly a student/ nursing assistant on the side but planning on staying home for at least 6 months with baby girl
Things you like to do? cook, yoga, shop, read, paint, manifest, make random mood boards 😆
Spouse/partner? my boyfriend, we’ve been together 3 years
First appointment? way back in November
Any symptoms? “morning” sickness (why do they call it morning sickness when it happens all the time)! mom brain, i can’t remember anything anymore! my bf says moodiness, haha.
I don’t know when your belly is supposed to pop but i’m 22 weeks and my belly is SO HUGE which is weird because baby girl is measuring small for her “age”. It might be because i’m a short girl at 5’2 and I have the worlds smallest torso 😆
Hello all! I’m traditionally kind of terrible at keeping up on BMBs but I’m going to try again 😆 We just found out three weeks ago that baby #5 is on the way. I only had one period after baby #4 AND had a negative test in November, which we now know was in fact a false negative because we had a dating ultrasound done a few weeks ago and baby was measuring 18wks. I literally had zero symptoms until one morning I rolled over in bed and felt my uterus shift and took another test. Considering I’ve already had four and all four of those were essentially the same in the early weeks, not experiencing any of the typical first tri symptoms was *Weird*. Getting over our shock now and mostly used to the idea of adding another when we thought we were done for good.

Hi all! I know I’m late to the party posting, but better late then never! :)
Due date: June 21st
Found out: at home test. I suspected because I am never that many days late!
Other children/pets: one cat, 2 goldfish and our rambunctious precious 2 year old boy.
Spouse: My husband & I got married in June 2014. We are so excited to be having another baby.
The first pregnancy: Our first baby was born early at 31 weeks + 3 days via emergency c-section and spent 47 days in the NICU. I had preeclampsia with severe features and our son had a growth restriction. He weighed 3 lbs 11oz when they released him. We mercifully made it through raising a micropreemie in a pandemic. Now we are excited to hopefully have a better birth experience this time around that is less scary/traumatic.
Things I enjoy doing: dancing, singing, traveling, gardening, berry picking, spray painting furniture, baking, reading, spending time with family and friends, and being on or in the water! Oh and helping my son discover new things. :)
