Introduce yourself: Hi. I’m Jackie. I just moved back to Florida after living in Tennessee for the last 13 years. I’m 31 and this will be baby number 4.
Due date? July 8th
How did you find out? I started testing at like 8 dpo. I’m very impatient.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):……. I’m 31 and married to my high school sweetheart. We been married 11 years. We have 3 girls. They are 10, 7, and 3. When I not outside finding something to do im reading.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
Oh the emotion roller coaster is awful this time and so it the bloat. But other then that o feel great.
Introduce yourself: Hi, I'm Julie, first-time mom :) From the province of Quebec, right near Ontario. Any other French-speakers around here? :)
Due date?: Early July
How did you find out?: Tested to confirm that what I had were just my PMS symptoms. Surprise! We had been trying for only 3 months and I expected it to take much longer. I am grateful and have a special thought for those who struggled. Xx
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): This will be our first! I am 30, I practice in family law, enjoy yoga and gardening, and have been married for 4 years (together for 14).
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?: Ugh, everything! ;) I feel exhausted, foggy, slow, bloated, sore back, poor circulation, emotional, but luckily not too nauseous (yet?). I was having a hard time feeling lonely and upset at being less productive, but reaching out has helped. I'm happy I found this group :) !
Not sure on due date, I can’t remember exactly when my last period was but I think it was ~6 weeks ago.
My boobs have been sore and I’ve been really tired lately, so even though I have an IUD I figured I would test just in case expecting it to be negative.
I’m a SAHM with a 6 year old girl and a 3.5 year old boy.
Physically I feel fine, just a little tired. I’m having a hard time believing it’s real. Also kind of freaking out because 1) IUD 2)We were done having kids 3)I have a history of very early gestational diabetes, I started taking insulin in my first trimester last time and I haven’t been watching my blood sugar or being strict with my diet 4) I have a history of early pre-term labor, and even though my son ended up being term, I don’t know how I would be able to manage that again.
Hi ! My name is Vanessa and 30 years old ( My fiancé and I have been together for 6 years and just got engaged last month, now baby! We have been trying for 5 months.
Estimate due date: July 12 2023
we had been trying for 5 months and was introduced to the Premom app and used that this time around and it worked ! I took a test 9DPO and saw a faint line. We tested again 10 DPO and it was darker but my fiance did not want to celebrate yet until after my period. Well I never got it lol hoping my baby sticks ❤️ Currently 5 weeks and 2 days in.
Currently good ! Sore nipples ( one boob looks bigger then the other) I had awful headaches at 3 and 4 weeks. That is gone. Fatigue and randomly get really cold. A cramping has gone away.
This will and I hope will be my first baby! We plan on telling our parents and siblings at 7 weeks ( for support) and will tell everyone else after 1st trimester!
Hi! I'm Jo. Estimated due date of 7/18. I got my bdp at 8dpo. I have a 11yo ds too. My hcg has been tripling every 2 days right now and I'm already feeling some symptoms. Sore boobs, exhaustion, so much nausea, and pregnancy brain like crazy already. My doctor just moved my ultrasound up from Dec 7th to next week. Keeping my fingers crossed right now!
Hi Emily, congrats on the baby!! I'm in a similar situation as I'm pregnant with my first baby as well and just had a m.c at the end of August. I'm due mid july. I wish you all the best of luck and a very healthy pregnancy! From one new mama to another❤️
Introduce yourself:Hi! I’m Carmen, I’m 27 and from southern Indiana. This is my first pregnancy!
Due date? Should be July 13? I ovulated 3 weeks into my cycle so July 20th would be more accurate but I know that isn’t how the doctor will calculate gestation 😄
How did you find out? I removed my IUD in late August with hopes of getting pregnant. I was also using ovulation test strips to figure out my cycle after 6 years of birth control. Didn’t get pregnant in September but on month 2 in October we were successful! I took a pregnancy test 6 days prior to my period not expecting anything so early but I saw the faintest line! I keep testing with hcg strips daily to see my levels increase.
Tell us about yourself: My husband and I have been married for 6 years. We are high school sweethearts and got married young at 21 & 22 so we’ve been able to enjoy the past several years traveling and enjoying married life, but now we’re ready to really settle down and grow our family. We have 2 cats and a golden retriever who will always be our babies. I’ve been a mother/baby nurse for 5 years so I do feel like I have a little bit of an advantage as a first time mom but after the first week I’ll be equally as lost as everyone else! Almost every day in conversation my patients will ask if I have any of my own children, so I can’t wait to finally be able to tell them yes there’s one on the way!
How are you feeling? I’m so very excited! Probably like many other women I was paranoid that I would have difficulty becoming pregnant. What if my hormones are unbalanced? What if my husband is sterile? Conceiving earlier than I honestly thought possible has given me so much hope. Another strong emotion is anxiety. I can’t wait to get my first ultrasound to put to rest my fears for ectopic pregnancy or hearing no heartbeat. Physically I feel good! The past week I’ve been able to tell a dull ache/fullness from my uterus starting to grow. Not quite a cramp but definitely can feel the “ache”. I’ve also been more emotional than usual. My breasts have been heavy and today I noticed Montgomery Tubercules starting to pop out. Since I have no nausea/vomiting yet it was exciting to see a physical manifestation of my hormones 😆
Introduce yourself: I’m Leah. I live in Minnesota and have been married to my husband for almost 11 years. I have a 14 year old son from a previous marriage. This will be my husband’s first (and only) child.
Due date? According to the calculator here, July 7.
How did you find out? I am 43 almost 44years old and this came as a big shock to us. We tried for a baby a few years ago but it wasn’t happening and we didn’t want to seek reproductive help so we decided to be happy as a party of 3 humans and added a dog. We’ve been throwing caution to the wind lately because what are the odds that a couple in their 40’s would end up pregnant? I ended up testing because my period was two weeks late and despite getting all the PMS symptoms, it never came. I thought I was starting menopause but remembered that Schitt’s Creek episode where Jocelyn thought it was menopause but ended up being pregnant so I bought a test to confirm menopause. 100% complete shock for both of us! The only other person who knows is my sister and we may keep it that way until I’m well into my second trimester.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I am a pediatric audiologist and my husband is a college professor and musician. As I said, we have a 14 year old son and a 2 year old dog. I’m a runner, love to travel, and am working on my doctorate degree.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I’ve come to terms that the fabulous vacation we literally just booked for July before finding out I’m pregnant will probably be canceled if this pregnancy is viable but I think the trade off will be equally fabulous. We are starting from scratch as we got rid of all our baby stuff years ago and in no way are we prepared financially to add a baby to the mix. We are scheduled for our first ob appointment on the 28th of November so it will probably feel much more real after that.
Hi guys - my name is Sydney! Due date July 9. Never been pregnant before, so I have very little idea what to expect!
Three days before my missed period I was teaching my class and suddenly felt really nauseous. I remember grabbing my stomach and making eye contact with a kid and just saying "huh." Im pretty regular so I tested as soon as I was a day late.
My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married 5, with a boxer-whippet rescue named Timothy. We have a yard full of slides, sandboxes and climbers that have so far gone mostly unused...
I really like to exercise normally and I'm just really nervous to do too much atm until I have my first appointment. There is so much conflicting information out there - lifting heavy things, jumping, twisting, heart rate over 140... I just want to talk to an actual doctor instead of a podcast and I'm surprised at how difficult that is. I live in Ontario and there isnt a single helpline or anything for pregnant women, so my options appear to be wait 3-4 weeks to talk to a family doctor, or ER.
Im feeling okay so far, but its still early. I just kinda feel mildly hungover - sluggish, headache, nauseau, kinda achy. I really want to keep eating healthy, but I am starting to notice the past few days that I really have to force feed myself roasted veggies. Raw ones still seem okay. I also feel like carbs soak up the nauseau, but obviously don't want to eat nothing but carbs.
Overall, I'm excited, terrified, anxious to tell everyone, and still not quite feeling like the whole thing is real!
July timeline is great, though! Tell the family around Christmas, and then the baby will hopefully let me finish out the school year. As a teacher, whether the baby comes in early July or late June matters a lot to me. Hopefully I dont have to take off too much time in June!
Introduce yourself: Hi. I’m Emily. I an From AR. I am 24 (will be 25 when baby arrives) and this is my first!!
Due date? July 11
How did you find out? I tested at 10 DPO and got 2 lines. Took a digital to confirm and it said pregnant! I’m so scared to lose it that I’ve tested like everyday since then!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):……. I’m a Kindergarten teacher married to a 6th grade teacher! We like to travel. We’re coming up on 3 years of marriage!
Hi! I’m Dana! I am 37 and I live just outside of Philadelphia.
Due date? Estimated 7/19/23
How did you find out? My husband and I have been trying all year to get pregnant. I felt off and took a test at 10 dpo and there was a faint line
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I am currently mama to my amazing 9 year old boy. We also have a fur baby named Jax who is 4. My husband and I have been married for 8 years.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I am a nervous wreck! We had 2 early losses this year and this is the longest the tests have stayed positive, getting darker every day. I have just been really tired and a bit nauseous. Super nervous but also super hopeful!
Hi, I’m Amy. I’m 35 and this will be my second child.
Due date? July 16
How did you find out? I found out very early, about 3.5 weeks. My breasts were very sore and I mentioned to my husband that the last time I felt like that I was pregnant with my first. Tested the next day and there it was.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): My husband and I have been together 10 years total, married for five. We have a 3.5 year old son and two senior dogs. I work as a project manager for a software company. I enjoy gardening, cooking, and streaming way too many shows.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I already find working parenthood to be the toughest balancing act, so trying for #2 had me a little scared. But when I saw the test I was so excited! My only symptoms so far are breast soreness and tiredness.
How did you find out? After months of disappointment and negative tests, I took a test one day before my period to get the letdown over with, only to see it was positive!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): We live near Toronto ON. We have a beautiful 2 year old boy and a 5 year old Havanese.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Only sore breasts and some mild nausea. I will be anxious until a see that little heart beating!
I had the same thing! We started trying back in February and i was starting to feel like it wasnt going to happen...i tested the day before for the same reason as you and was happily surprised! Grateful for this community...nice to know im not the only one out there going thru conceiving troubles ❤️
How did you find out? We’ll the short story is we were TTC. I was 10 DPO when I got my first positive test and tested 1 more time that day with a digital to confirm.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I was diagnosed with PCOS as a child but tbh never believed it. I heard all these story’s about how you could not get pregnant with PCOS and people with symptoms I didn’t have. I gave birth to my first son June of 2018 at the age of 17 at 31 weeks due to eclampsia. Shortly after I got pregnant with our 2nd and had him May of 2019 at the age of 18 at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia. I then struggled to have my 3rd son but soon got pregnant due to birth control as we found out now. Birth control was regulation my hormones making me ovulate on time. When I got off of it my hormones continued to regulate on time for a few months causing us to get pregnant with my 3rd son we had him October of 2021 at 36 weeks due to hypertension. After him we knew we wanted to try one more time but I realized something was wrong. I ended up seeing an ob and got diagnosed with PCOS July 2022.
T.W. September 2022 I had a miscarriage on my birthday and I thought it would take medication to ever have what we thought would be our last.
October 31st 2022 I had horrible cramps and decided to take a ovulation test! I was ovulating! I was so pleased with myself and did everything I could to make this cycle work! So there we were 10 days latter positive test.
Im currently a Birth and Postpartum doula as I love this area of life. My husband has been a pool tech for 3 years but is switching to family owned automotive stuff the beginning of the new year for better opportunities. We currently have a house full of animals due to our big hearts. Never enough room for love. We have had our dogs before our kids but we currently have 6 dogs (buddy chocolate lab mix, Novaa jack Russell chihuahua mix, Opie chihuahua, Harley Russell, cappuccino chihuahua and Duke a mini Doberman pincher) then we have 3 cats (pepper, Jinx and Olaf)
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I’ve been nauseous off and on and cramping a little bit, but that’s really it. Im supper happy we could be having our baby girl and I’m hanging on to that :)
Introduce yourself: Hi my name is Jennifer and I live in California.
Due date? July 23, 2023
How did you find out? Last week I had some cramping and felt more nauseous than usual for my pms. I took a test 2 days before my expected period and it was positive. I felt pretty surprised and happy I could at least become pregnant.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): This will be my first child and I’m 30 years old. I work as a Social Worker. I like spending time with friends, being in nature, and going to concerts. I have been with my partner for 3 years.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Some symptoms I am having are headaches, nausea, fatigue, and a little more emotional than usual.
Introduce yourself: Hi everyone! I’m Dana- we just found out I’m pregnant last night and I just had to tell someone, haha!
Due date? July 31, 2023, based on LMP but will get confirmation at first appt.
How did you find out? I’ve been having unusual PMS-like symptoms, and decided to do a pregnancy test before hopping in the shower last night. I thought it might be too early to be positive even if I was pregnant, but there two solid lines when I got out. My husband and I were shocked even though it was planned 😂
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? I’m a clinical nutritionist and love reading, knitting, singing and cooking. Spouse/partner?): Hubs works in TV/film and likes sports and traveling. We have no pets and this will be our first child.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I feel shocked and in awe. Everything feels like a miracle. Physically, I feel fine other than some cramping the past two days.
How did you find out? My period was late so I took a cheap test and there was a faint second line so I waited a week and took a digital test and it was positive :smile:
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I have 3 children who are 14, 9 and 6 and I have had 3 early miscarriages so this is my 7th pregnancy. I work quality assurance for a food pharma company during the day and then waitress for a Vietnamese restaurant during the evenings and weekends.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? My breasts and stomach are sore and I'm always tired but I'm sure the tiredness is due to the hours I work as well. I'm not in the best place emotionally at the moment and this is not a good time financially for me to have another child and I feel very irresponsible.
I’m due July 9th I guess and we conceived Oct 16/17(so today we’re 6w3days I think) This was not at all planned but also not unplanned. Honestly still not sure about all this but hopefully seeing Fetus G tomorrow will make it real real.
I live in HTX but I’m from New England but will likely be moving. This is my first pregnancy ever and well I have been living on google for information on everything and anything lol
I found out because I felt awful from Nov 1-4th and randomly took a test to put mind at ease. And welp clearly I didn’t succeed in that 😭. My HCG at 3 weeks post conception/ 4w4d LMP was 552.
I am pharma chemist by education and I know work as a Pharma consultant specializing in Regulatory Transformations. My Partner/ Guy this would be his first as well and he is amazing although I think we’re still both thinking and freaking out.
Hobbies for me: Running, Golf, netflix, walks, baking, traveling, snowboarding
How did I find out?: I did an IVF transfer and puked 1.5 weeks later. Tested the next day and got my positive!
about myself- I’m married and we have one son, Elijah, age 7. I work in mental health. I like to read and do puzzles.
How am I feeling?: pukey! That nausea is kicking my butt. This also is my first pregnancy since miscarrying last year so I’m very nervous. Have my first ultrasound next week.
Editing to add my username since this 2008 era app didn’t do it right: You can call me Mecspliquer, or Mec!
How did you find out? We were trying for 4 cycles after a year of wtt. I tested on 9dpo so we found out at 2+5!!!! Right now I’m 4 weeks by the calendar, but developmentally I’d be measuring more like 4+5 or 5 (5-7 days ahead). Eager for my 8 week appointment for a more official due date, but going with the 22nd for now!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I’m 28 and live in the DMV area. My husband and I have 3 beautiful cats <3 I love video games and have recently fallen in love with Outlander (show and books). I work in sales and love it, though it’s fast paced. This will be our first (and ideally only) kiddo. My Crochet level is like 2/10, but it’s still fun lol
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? The second I found out, I was constipated. Starting at 4+4 the fatigue hit me hard. I’m hoping I can make it through thanksgiving before nausea finds me but we will see! I’m excited, but also just waiting for my uterus to actually be something I can palpate because right now my weird little aglet sized embryo doesn’t feel too real
Hi everyone my names Katie! I am 30 y/o and this is my first pregnancy. I live in Blaine, WA.
Est. Due date is 7/12!
We found out when I miscalculated when I ovulate and none of my usual period symptoms were happening. I am pretty predictable according to my husband so I took a test the day after my missed period and it was positive! I then proceeded to take 3 more just to make sure it wasn't a dream!
This is our first pregnancy so I am excited and nervous! I am an Occupational Therapist/ Certified Hand Therapist ✋️ I am an avid runner although lately that's been the last thing I want to do. I also love hiking, swimming, and drawing!
I am fighting some of the early anxiety so i am really trying to just breathe. So far I am exhausted sleeping 9+ hours per night, my boobs hurt and my back hurts. I'm always hungry but then I also spontaneously feel nausea. Already starting to bloat though 😅
My due date is estimated to be July 19th! But my first ultrasound is November 29th, so hopefully we can confirm then!
I truly wasn’t expecting to have a positive test, but I decided to start testing 8 days DPO (I know that’s early but I struggle with anxiety and it helps calm my nerves) & got my positive literally 2 days later. It was such a faint line, that I took another, saw a faint line again & finally just took the digital & it said “pregnant.”
My fiancé and I are very excited as this will be our first child and our rainbow baby. We have a dog, Dobby & cat, Milo. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks, reading and doing puzzles!
*TW* Emotionally, I have been VERY anxious and nervous because of my previous miscarriages (most recently in May) ((both happened between 6-8 weeks)) however, my blood tests have been showing really good hcg levels this time around! So I am starting to feel much more confident & hopeful. I’m already a very emotional person, but it hasn’t been taking a lot for me to cry now lol. My symptoms are in full force already. Nausea, fatigue, mild cramps, sore boobs, and backaches. I am also having very vivid dreams! Excited to be here with you all and wish you all the best of luck with your pregnancies!
Due date? Should be July 17, but I have irregular cycles so that ciuld change by a day or a few!
How did you find out? I had a feeling. Sore boobs, some bloating & missed/ late period tipped me off. I'm definitely tired too, but that's not uncommon for me and my life at the moment, and neither is a missed/late period (PCOS). All of that together plus the slightest bit of nausea starting. I ordered tests on Amazon because I didn't have any and we live pretty rurally, but I decided I couldn't wait for the others to arrive and well, my hunch was right - BFP!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): My partner of 15 years and I have 2 other babies together. Our oldest just turned 3 and our second born is 15 months. Hands full, hearts fuller.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? All considered, physically I feel okay. A bit of nausea, Sore boobs, bloating. I'm a little more stressed about postpartum hemmorhage (which i experienced with my second birth) and the adjustment our other littles face because we only have two bedrooms for soon to be 3 kiddos. Though if there's anything I've learned parenting so far, it's that with the acceptance of all feelings and a bit of prep, my kids always blow me away with their ability to be flexible to change. Obviously also worried about finances and how our family is about to change, but I'm also excited. This is my 4th pregnancy (my first was a m/c, much like many of you in the thread) and even though I've had two "successful" pregnancies since, pregnancy after loss is no joke and that feeling doesn't really fade nobnatter the circumstance.
My name is Jessica. I am pregnant with baby #4. We live in Dallas texas but we are from San Diego.
My husband and I separated a while back and almost divorced. When we got back together, we wanted another child but it took us a long time to be “ok”. The road to healing was loooong and hard but we made it! Our kids are 13, 11 and 6. Baby #4 is our redemption baby 🤍
due date: July 8th. I am extremely bloated, nauseous, dizzy and an emotional roller coaster! 😵💫 lol
I also am a business coach and run a collagen business.
Due date? I just tested positive a couple days ago, but the online calculators and such are saying late July
How did you find out? Testing too early and too often while ttc 🙈 Fully expected another negative when that faint, faint line showed.
....6 tests later, here I am 😅🤣
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): No pets currently, and this will be our first baby. I have worked from home since the pandemic, and my husband is a teacher and football coach. Also I've spent a couple years learning and preparing to become a birth doula! Which makes me extra excited to experience from the mama side of things ❤️
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Exhausted. So very exhausted 😅 But also so excited I could burst!

Spouse/partner?): i just started a new job 2 days after i found out i was pregnant, i have two cats and a wonderful boyfriend who is taking great care of me right now. I love being active and moving constantly, sitting still is not my jam.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I am on a roller coaster of emotions. I didnt think i could get pregnant, so this is quite shocking honestly. The morning sickness is a little rough, and i cried at 9pm last night while watching a tv show because one of the characters was eating a breakfast sandwhich and i couldnt have it, so that was a weird experience. Definitely not normal but i guess its just part of the cravings and emotional side of this.

How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I think that everything is sinking in that I’m going to be a mom. I was seen at 3 weeks 5 days and they didn’t see the baby on the ultrasound which I know is super normal but we have another appt next week. I’ll be 5 weeks 2 days, hopefully everything is fine. I lost a baby about 5 years ago and I’m trying not to get my hopes up. But I also don’t want to feel like something is going to go wrong. Thats all I’m struggling with now.
Hey everyone! I’m a first time mom (FTM) and just found I was pregnant a few days ago. I’m in my late 30s and a little anxious about my age and experiencing pregnancy and motherhood.
My due date is July 28 (Hello little Leo!)
I found out when I took a test. I took two early detection tests - one about 3 days before missed period and the other on the day of my missed period. Both were negative so I thought oh well, we’ll just try again. But when my period was three days late and I wasn’t having any other signs aside from very sore breasts I tested again and there it was - a faint line. I took two more tests in the following days and all were positive.
I love hiking, reading, playing games, cooking, and hanging out with my cats. No other children. I work full time (FT) in data analytics. My husband and I have been together for over 12 years.
No symptoms other than sore breasts and fatigue. Hopefully the others will skip me over, lol.

This is the first child for my husband and I. I teach 5th grade. We have 2 cats. I am very excited to learn from the wisdom of this group and to share this journey with everyone.-I hope that comes off genuine and not cheesy because that is my intent.
I have had a little nausea, sore breasts, and some extra emotions, but I really can’t complain.
Introduce yourself: My name is Diana. I will be a first time mom! I am so excited. I’ve been an auntie for a year and I enjoy playing with my niece but there is still so much I need to learn. I hope we can support and encourage each other on here.
Due date? I am officially due August 1st. I’m thinking if things go well baby will come in July.
How did you find out? I started testing at like 6po… it was our first month TTC. We used ovulation strips but only ended up doing the deed to once during the peak. I had upset stomachs for a week straight after conception. My earliest positive was 8dpo.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):……. I’m 27 and married. My husband is a gem of a human being. I love him so much. We both work full time— I’m a teacher and he works in film and television. We enjoy Football sundays, spending time with friends and good eats.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Diarehea is a symptom for me. Not severe just loose stools. Bloating as well- I’m a stomach sleeper and it’s uncomfortable for my to sleep on my stomach. I’ve been trying to side sleep.
Introduce yourself: Hi! My name is Kiera! I am 29 years old from South Jersey.
Due date? July 23rd as far as I know right now, I have my first ultrasound December 8th!!
How did you find out? We did IVF so I was very eager to take a pregnancy test! Took a test 5 days after my embryo transfer and got my positive while we were on vacation in Luray, Virginia…it was so exciting!!!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I have a 6 year old boy, Grayson. He is VERY excited and wants a baby sister! Lol! I work as a nurse for Penn Medicine and have my own Aesthetic business in south Jersey. My husband is 11 years older than me and he had “slow swimmers” so that is why we had to do IUI 3x which did not work and then thankfully IVF worked 1st time!!! He is an auto body technician. We have 3 dogs (Bernese mountain dog, chocolate lab, and a pitbull).
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I am very emotional, doesn’t take much to make me cry lol. Or sometimes I just feel like I’m going to cry and I don’t know why! I also am already having bad heartburn, I had bad heartburn with my 1st but not until later in the pregnancy. I am very tired and my nipples are hurting so bad. I also am having issues with my heart rate, my heart rate is going up to 120-130’s anytime I exert myself even minimally (walking upstairs, unloading dishwasher). I just wore a holter monitor for 24hr and waiting to hear from cardiologist, I’m praying they don’t put me on “light duty” 😅😅😅
Re: Introduce Yourself Here! Welcome to July 2023!
Due date? July 8th
How did you find out? I started testing at like 8 dpo. I’m very impatient.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):…….
I’m 31 and married to my high school sweetheart. We been married 11 years. We have 3 girls. They are 10, 7, and 3. When I not outside finding something to do im reading.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
Due date?: Early July
How did you find out?: Tested to confirm that what I had were just my PMS symptoms. Surprise! We had been trying for only 3 months and I expected it to take much longer. I am grateful and have a special thought for those who struggled. Xx
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): This will be our first! I am 30, I practice in family law, enjoy yoga and gardening, and have been married for 4 years (together for 14).
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?: Ugh, everything! ;) I feel exhausted, foggy, slow, bloated, sore back, poor circulation, emotional, but luckily not too nauseous (yet?). I was having a hard time feeling lonely and upset at being less productive, but reaching out has helped. I'm happy I found this group :) !
My boobs have been sore and I’ve been really tired lately, so even though I have an IUD I figured I would test just in case expecting it to be negative.
I’m a SAHM with a 6 year old girl and a 3.5 year old boy.
Physically I feel fine, just a little tired. I’m having a hard time believing it’s real. Also kind of freaking out because 1) IUD 2)We were done having kids 3)I have a history of very early gestational diabetes, I started taking insulin in my first trimester last time and I haven’t been watching my blood sugar or being strict with my diet 4) I have a history of early pre-term labor, and even though my son ended up being term, I don’t know how I would be able to manage that again.
we had been trying for 5 months and was introduced to the Premom app and used that this time around and it worked ! I took a test 9DPO and saw a faint line. We tested again 10 DPO and it was darker but my fiance did not want to celebrate yet until after my period. Well I never got it lol hoping my baby sticks ❤️ Currently 5 weeks and 2 days in.
From one new mama to another❤️
Due date? Should be July 13? I ovulated 3 weeks into my cycle so July 20th would be more accurate but I know that isn’t how the doctor will calculate gestation 😄
How did you find out? I removed my IUD in late August with hopes of getting pregnant. I was also using ovulation test strips to figure out my cycle after 6 years of birth control. Didn’t get pregnant in September but on month 2 in October we were successful! I took a pregnancy test 6 days prior to my period not expecting anything so early but I saw the faintest line! I keep testing with hcg strips daily to see my levels increase.
Tell us about yourself: My husband and I have been married for 6 years. We are high school sweethearts and got married young at 21 & 22 so we’ve been able to enjoy the past several years traveling and enjoying married life, but now we’re ready to really settle down and grow our family. We have 2 cats and a golden retriever who will always be our babies. I’ve been a mother/baby nurse for 5 years so I do feel like I have a little bit of an advantage as a first time mom but after the first week I’ll be equally as lost as everyone else! Almost every day in conversation my patients will ask if I have any of my own children, so I can’t wait to finally be able to tell them yes there’s one on the way!
How are you feeling? I’m so very excited! Probably like many other women I was paranoid that I would have difficulty becoming pregnant. What if my hormones are unbalanced? What if my husband is sterile? Conceiving earlier than I honestly thought possible has given me so much hope. Another strong emotion is anxiety. I can’t wait to get my first ultrasound to put to rest my fears for ectopic pregnancy or hearing no heartbeat.
Physically I feel good! The past week I’ve been able to tell a dull ache/fullness from my uterus starting to grow. Not quite a cramp but definitely can feel the “ache”. I’ve also been more emotional than usual. My breasts have been heavy and today I noticed Montgomery Tubercules starting to pop out. Since I have no nausea/vomiting yet it was exciting to see a physical manifestation of my hormones 😆
Due date? According to the calculator here, July 7.
How did you find out? I am 43 almost 44years old and this came as a big shock to us. We tried for a baby a few years ago but it wasn’t happening and we didn’t want to seek reproductive help so we decided to be happy as a party of 3 humans and added a dog. We’ve been throwing caution to the wind lately because what are the odds that a couple in their 40’s would end up pregnant? I ended up testing because my period was two weeks late and despite getting all the PMS symptoms, it never came. I thought I was starting menopause but remembered that Schitt’s Creek episode where Jocelyn thought it was menopause but ended up being pregnant so I bought a test to confirm menopause. 100% complete shock for both of us! The only other person who knows is my sister and we may keep it that way until I’m well into my second trimester.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I am a pediatric audiologist and my husband is a college professor and musician. As I said, we have a 14 year old son and a 2 year old dog. I’m a runner, love to travel, and am working on my doctorate degree.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I’ve come to terms that the fabulous vacation we literally just booked for July before finding out I’m pregnant will probably be canceled if this pregnancy is viable but I think the trade off will be equally fabulous. We are starting from scratch as we got rid of all our baby stuff years ago and in no way are we prepared financially to add a baby to the mix. We are scheduled for our first ob appointment on the 28th of November so it will probably feel much more real after that.
Three days before my missed period I was teaching my class and suddenly felt really nauseous. I remember grabbing my stomach and making eye contact with a kid and just saying "huh." Im pretty regular so I tested as soon as I was a day late.
My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married 5, with a boxer-whippet rescue named Timothy. We have a yard full of slides, sandboxes and climbers that have so far gone mostly unused...
I really like to exercise normally and I'm just really nervous to do too much atm until I have my first appointment. There is so much conflicting information out there - lifting heavy things, jumping, twisting, heart rate over 140... I just want to talk to an actual doctor instead of a podcast and I'm surprised at how difficult that is. I live in Ontario and there isnt a single helpline or anything for pregnant women, so my options appear to be wait 3-4 weeks to talk to a family doctor, or ER.
Im feeling okay so far, but its still early. I just kinda feel mildly hungover - sluggish, headache, nauseau, kinda achy. I really want to keep eating healthy, but I am starting to notice the past few days that I really have to force feed myself roasted veggies. Raw ones still seem okay. I also feel like carbs soak up the nauseau, but obviously don't want to eat nothing but carbs.
Overall, I'm excited, terrified, anxious to tell everyone, and still not quite feeling like the whole thing is real!
July timeline is great, though! Tell the family around Christmas, and then the baby will hopefully let me finish out the school year. As a teacher, whether the baby comes in early July or late June matters a lot to me. Hopefully I dont have to take off too much time in June!
Due date? July 11
How did you find out? I tested at 10 DPO and got 2 lines. Took a digital to confirm and it said pregnant! I’m so scared to lose it that I’ve tested like everyday since then!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):…….
I’m a Kindergarten teacher married to a 6th grade teacher! We like to travel. We’re coming up on 3 years of marriage!

I am a nervous wreck! We had 2 early losses this year and this is the longest the tests have stayed positive, getting darker every day. I have just been really tired and a bit nauseous. Super nervous but also super hopeful!
Due date? July 16
How did you find out? I found out very early, about 3.5 weeks. My breasts were very sore and I mentioned to my husband that the last time I felt like that I was pregnant with my first. Tested the next day and there it was.

We have a 3.5 year old son and two senior dogs. I work as a project manager for a software company. I enjoy gardening, cooking, and streaming way too many shows.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I already find working parenthood to be the toughest balancing act, so trying for #2 had me a little scared. But when I saw the test I was so excited! My only symptoms so far are breast soreness and tiredness.
Due date? July 10
How did you find out? After months of disappointment and negative tests, I took a test one day before my period to get the letdown over with, only to see it was positive!

Due date? July 23rd we believe
How did you find out? We’ll the short story is we were TTC. I was 10 DPO when I got my first positive test and tested 1 more time that day with a digital to confirm.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I was diagnosed with PCOS as a child but tbh never believed it. I heard all these story’s about how you could not get pregnant with PCOS and people with symptoms I didn’t have. I gave birth to my first son June of 2018 at the age of 17 at 31 weeks due to eclampsia. Shortly after I got pregnant with our 2nd and had him May of 2019 at the age of 18 at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia. I then struggled to have my 3rd son but soon got pregnant due to birth control as we found out now. Birth control was regulation my hormones making me ovulate on time. When I got off of it my hormones continued to regulate on time for a few months causing us to get pregnant with my 3rd son we had him October of 2021 at 36 weeks due to hypertension. After him we knew we wanted to try one more time but I realized something was wrong. I ended up seeing an ob and got diagnosed with PCOS July 2022.
T.W. September 2022 I had a miscarriage on my birthday and I thought it would take medication to ever have what we thought would be our last.
October 31st 2022 I had horrible cramps and decided to take a ovulation test! I was ovulating! I was so pleased with myself and did everything I could to make this cycle work! So there we were 10 days latter positive test.
Im currently a Birth and Postpartum doula as I love this area of life. My husband has been a pool tech for 3 years but is switching to family owned automotive stuff the beginning of the new year for better opportunities. We currently have a house full of animals due to our big hearts. Never enough room for love. We have had our dogs before our kids but we currently have 6 dogs (buddy chocolate lab mix, Novaa jack Russell chihuahua mix, Opie chihuahua, Harley Russell, cappuccino chihuahua and Duke a mini Doberman pincher) then we have 3 cats (pepper, Jinx and Olaf)
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I’ve been nauseous off and on and cramping a little bit, but that’s really it. Im supper happy we could be having our baby girl and I’m hanging on to that :)
Due date? July 23, 2023
How did you find out? Last week I had some cramping and felt more nauseous than usual for my pms. I took a test 2 days before my expected period and it was positive. I felt pretty surprised and happy I could at least become pregnant.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): This will be my first child and I’m 30 years old. I work as a Social Worker. I like spending time with friends, being in nature, and going to concerts. I have been with my partner for 3 years.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
Some symptoms I am having are headaches, nausea, fatigue, and a little more emotional than usual.
Due date? July 31, 2023, based on LMP but will get confirmation at first appt.
How did you find out? I’ve been having unusual PMS-like symptoms, and decided to do a pregnancy test before hopping in the shower last night. I thought it might be too early to be positive even if I was pregnant, but there two solid lines when I got out. My husband and I were shocked even though it was planned 😂
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? I’m a clinical nutritionist and love reading, knitting, singing and cooking.
Spouse/partner?): Hubs works in TV/film and likes sports and traveling. We have no pets and this will be our first child.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I feel shocked and in awe. Everything feels like a miracle. Physically, I feel fine other than some cramping the past two days.
Due date? 07/10/2023
How did you find out? My period was late so I took a cheap test and there was a faint second line so I waited a week and took a digital test and it was positive :smile:
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I have 3 children who are 14, 9 and 6 and I have had 3 early miscarriages so this is my 7th pregnancy. I work quality assurance for a food pharma company during the day and then waitress for a Vietnamese restaurant during the evenings and weekends.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? My breasts and stomach are sore and I'm always tired but I'm sure the tiredness is due to the hours I work as well. I'm not in the best place emotionally at the moment and this is not a good time financially for me to have another child and I feel very irresponsible.
I’m Mo
I’m due July 9th I guess and we conceived Oct 16/17(so today we’re 6w3days I think)
This was not at all planned but also not unplanned. Honestly still not sure about all this but hopefully seeing Fetus G tomorrow will make it real real.
I live in HTX but I’m from New England but will likely be moving.
This is my first pregnancy ever and well I have been living on google for information on everything and anything lol
I found out because I felt awful from Nov 1-4th and randomly took a test to put mind at ease. And welp clearly I didn’t succeed in that 😭. My HCG at 3 weeks post conception/ 4w4d LMP was 552.
I am pharma chemist by education and I know work as a Pharma consultant specializing in Regulatory Transformations. My Partner/ Guy this would be his first as well and he is amazing although I think we’re still both thinking and freaking out.
Hobbies for me: Running, Golf, netflix, walks, baking, traveling, snowboarding
Super excited to connect with you all 💜
How did I find out?: I did an IVF transfer and puked 1.5 weeks later. Tested the next day and got my positive!
about myself- I’m married and we have one son, Elijah, age 7. I work in mental health. I like to read and do puzzles.
How did you find out?
We were trying for 4 cycles after a year of wtt. I tested on 9dpo so we found out at 2+5!!!! Right now I’m 4 weeks by the calendar, but developmentally I’d be measuring more like 4+5 or 5 (5-7 days ahead). Eager for my 8 week appointment for a more official due date, but going with the 22nd for now!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
I’m 28 and live in the DMV area. My husband and I have 3 beautiful cats <3 I love video games and have recently fallen in love with Outlander (show and books). I work in sales and love it, though it’s fast paced. This will be our first (and ideally only) kiddo. My Crochet level is like 2/10, but it’s still fun lol
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
The second I found out, I was constipated. Starting at 4+4 the fatigue hit me hard. I’m hoping I can make it through thanksgiving before nausea finds me but we will see! I’m excited, but also just waiting for my uterus to actually be something I can palpate because right now my weird little aglet sized embryo doesn’t feel too real
Est. Due date is 7/12!
We found out when I miscalculated when I ovulate and none of my usual period symptoms were happening. I am pretty predictable according to my husband so I took a test the day after my missed period and it was positive! I then proceeded to take 3 more just to make sure it wasn't a dream!
This is our first pregnancy so I am excited and nervous! I am an Occupational Therapist/ Certified Hand Therapist ✋️ I am an avid runner although lately that's been the last thing I want to do. I also love hiking, swimming, and drawing!
I am fighting some of the early anxiety so i am really trying to just breathe. So far I am exhausted sleeping 9+ hours per night, my boobs hurt and my back hurts. I'm always hungry but then I also spontaneously feel nausea. Already starting to bloat though 😅
My due date is estimated to be July 19th! But my first ultrasound is November 29th, so hopefully we can confirm then!
I truly wasn’t expecting to have a positive test, but I decided to start testing 8 days DPO (I know that’s early but I struggle with anxiety and it helps calm my nerves) & got my positive literally 2 days later. It was such a faint line, that I took another, saw a faint line again & finally just took the digital & it said “pregnant.”
My fiancé and I are very excited as this will be our first child and our rainbow baby. We have a dog, Dobby & cat, Milo. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks, reading and doing puzzles!
How did you find out?
I had a feeling. Sore boobs, some bloating & missed/ late period tipped me off. I'm definitely tired too, but that's not uncommon for me and my life at the moment, and neither is a missed/late period (PCOS). All of that together plus the slightest bit of nausea starting. I ordered tests on Amazon because I didn't have any and we live pretty rurally, but I decided I couldn't wait for the others to arrive and well, my hunch was right - BFP!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): My partner of 15 years and I have 2 other babies together. Our oldest just turned 3 and our second born is 15 months. Hands full, hearts fuller.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
All considered, physically I feel okay. A bit of nausea, Sore boobs, bloating. I'm a little more stressed about postpartum hemmorhage (which i experienced with my second birth) and the adjustment our other littles face because we only have two bedrooms for soon to be 3 kiddos. Though if there's anything I've learned parenting so far, it's that with the acceptance of all feelings and a bit of prep, my kids always blow me away with their ability to be flexible to change. Obviously also worried about finances and how our family is about to change, but I'm also excited. This is my 4th pregnancy (my first was a m/c, much like many of you in the thread) and even though I've had two "successful" pregnancies since, pregnancy after loss is no joke and that feeling doesn't really fade nobnatter the circumstance.
due date: July 8th. I am extremely bloated, nauseous, dizzy and an emotional roller coaster! 😵💫 lol
I also am a business coach and run a collagen business.
Due date? I just tested positive a couple days ago, but the online calculators and such are saying late July
How did you find out? Testing too early and too often while ttc 🙈 Fully expected another negative when that faint, faint line showed.
....6 tests later, here I am 😅🤣
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): No pets currently, and this will be our first baby. I have worked from home since the pandemic, and my husband is a teacher and football coach. Also I've spent a couple years learning and preparing to become a birth doula! Which makes me extra excited to experience from the mama side of things ❤️
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Exhausted. So very exhausted 😅 But also so excited I could burst!
TW: I’ve had 2 false positives this year, and this is the first real one and I’m very hopeful
My name is Melanie, I’m 27 years old, Aries, and live in Arizona.

Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): i just started a new job 2 days after i found out i was pregnant, i have two cats and a wonderful boyfriend who is taking great care of me right now. I love being active and moving constantly, sitting still is not my jam.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I am on a roller coaster of emotions. I didnt think i could get pregnant, so this is quite shocking honestly. The morning sickness is a little rough, and i cried at 9pm last night while watching a tv show because one of the characters was eating a breakfast sandwhich and i couldnt have it, so that was a weird experience. Definitely not normal but i guess its just part of the cravings and emotional side of this.
This all just seems so scary honestly
Due date? Well they couldn’t give me one but July they say they do go by ur first day of ur last period so that was Oct 8 but then they told me it was 6 days off so I’m not even sure how many weeks I am it sucks I hate it
How did you find out?. Everything started smelling very intensely

Due date? July 29th,2023
How did you find out? I actually didn’t feel pregnant at all, I was cleaning and saw I had a pregnancy test and thought to myself “let’s take it” . Boom did two lines appear at 6 am and woke me up better than any coffee I’ve ever had. 😂
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I was a deputy for the last 7 years and now I work for a PI company. My boyfriend (babydaddy lol) he is in the navy and stationed in Jax: This is our first child , we have a 2 year old chocolate lab named koda ,a 19 week old English bulldog named Frank and a orange kitten named Geno.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I think that everything is sinking in that I’m going to be a mom. I was seen at 3 weeks 5 days and they didn’t see the baby on the ultrasound which I know is super normal but we have another appt next week. I’ll be 5 weeks 2 days, hopefully everything is fine. I lost a baby about 5 years ago and I’m trying not to get my hopes up. But I also don’t want to feel like something is going to go wrong. Thats all I’m struggling with now.
My due date is July 28 (Hello little Leo!)
I found out when I took a test. I took two early detection tests - one about 3 days before missed period and the other on the day of my missed period. Both were negative so I thought oh well, we’ll just try again. But when my period was three days late and I wasn’t having any other signs aside from very sore breasts I tested again and there it was - a faint line. I took two more tests in the following days and all were positive.
I love hiking, reading, playing games, cooking, and hanging out with my cats. No other children. I work full time (FT) in data analytics. My husband and I have been together for over 12 years.
No symptoms other than sore breasts and fatigue. Hopefully the others will skip me over, lol.
Glad to be here!

I have a 6 year old boy, Grayson. He is VERY excited and wants a baby sister! Lol! I work as a nurse for Penn Medicine and have my own Aesthetic business in south Jersey. My husband is 11 years older than me and he had “slow swimmers” so that is why we had to do IUI 3x which did not work and then thankfully IVF worked 1st time!!! He is an auto body technician. We have 3 dogs (Bernese mountain dog, chocolate lab, and a pitbull).
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I am very emotional, doesn’t take much to make me cry lol. Or sometimes I just feel like I’m going to cry and I don’t know why! I also am already having bad heartburn, I had bad heartburn with my 1st but not until later in the pregnancy. I am very tired and my nipples are hurting so bad. I also am having issues with my heart rate, my heart rate is going up to 120-130’s anytime I exert myself even minimally (walking upstairs, unloading dishwasher). I just wore a holter monitor for 24hr and waiting to hear from cardiologist, I’m praying they don’t put me on “light duty” 😅😅😅
