We’re blessed to say our daughter is a complete bunch of joy and easy to take care of! She’s very excited for her little brother and will a big help to us! We did the sneak peek test at 8 weeks to find out the gender is a boy! We couldn’t be happier :)
Due date? June 16th
How did you find out? We were on a family trip and my app told me I was two days late. Didn’t think much of it but decided to take a test when we got home and instantly the second line popped up! We just moved into a 5 bedroom house and everyone kept saying it’s time for another. Apparently god had a plan for us all along <3
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): We have 3 year old named Ava, she’s already so smart and excited for her brother! My husband Matt is a loving husband and dad already, he’s also excited for his new fishing partner to arrive :) I’m a real estate agent, project manager for flips, home designer and opening a modern glamping campground. The baby is due the same month we are due to open! Help! Haha! Nervous about balancing home life and business but I have an amazing supportive family that helps me <3
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Unfortunately these past two weeks my chronic migraines have made there way back into my life :( other then that my other systems are pretty bearable. Minus waking up several times at night. I guess my body is prepping for the baby already!
Introduce yourself: Hi everyone! I’ve been reading all of your posts for weeks but have been nervous to post until I was further along! So excited to have a community here. My name is Gabi and I’m 11 weeks pregnant with our first!
Due date: June 20th
How did you find out: It was almost by chance (or intuition) that I decided to take a test. I hadn’t missed my period yet, but my body was just feeling different and I was only a few days away from when my period was due. Anyway, we were both very very happily surprised when we saw two lines and, because I needed to be really sure, “pregnant” on the second test 💕
Tell us about yourself: My husband and I have been together for 5 years, and recently eloped in Scotland for an intimate and adventurous ceremony! I am a marriage and family therapist and have my own practice, as well as conduct trauma and resiliency assessments for children at the local college. We live in CO, so when I’m not knocked down with fatigue and morning sickness, we love to hike and spend as much time outside as possible. I also love to read and spend time with my people!
How are you feeling: I got lucky with morning sickness in that I only got sick 3-4 days, but I’ve been dealing with low level nausea every day since week 7. The fatigue is SO REAL though and I’m experiencing quite a bit of brain fog. I’m also so sick of eating already, I feel like I’m constantly hungry but nothing is yummy? Anyway, emotionally, I am crying at everything and at nothing, and my anxiety was through the roof until we got an early ultrasound. Now I feel more grounded and excited! Seeing the heartbeat makes it so real!
Due date? June 11 How did you find out? Tests when I didn’t get my period on time!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I have a dog named Tucker. My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. We recently got engaged! This is our first baby.

Hi everyone! My name is Labdhi and I am 12 weeks pregnant with our first baby.
Due date? June 18th
How did you find out? I started having some nausea and heightened smell and felt a roller coaster of emotions and then took a test 5-6 days before my period and it was positive.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): Me and my husband have been married for 6 years and we have been together for 11 years, met in college. This is our first baby so I was a little nervous about posting here until I was further along. I am a critical care pharmacist and love hiking and playing tennis.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally
I was dealing with nausea until the first 6-7 weeks and then it has slowly subsided. Fatigue definitely has been humbling because I was pretty active and now I feel like I am sleeping 10 hours a day but it’s slowly getting better. I am also feeling super bloated. Emotionally it changes day to day but definitely get overwhelmed sometimes.
I am excited to go through this journey with all of you and sending positive vibes to everyone ❤️

Hi, my name is EJ, am 37 years old & expecting my first child! I literally just discovered these discussion boards on this app so late to the party but been binge-reading everything (instead of sleeping) & so glad to be reading your stories.
Due date: June 7
How did you find out: Like many of you, I’ve had multiple miscarriages before this pregnancy. As a result, I’ve been using ovulation tests. Right before a camping trip, I took a pregnancy test even tho I didn’t feel any different but wanted to know if it was safe to drink beer. Surprised to see it turn positive within seconds.
Tell us about yourself: My husband & I are college sweethearts, been together 19 years, married for 7. We have a 3 year old rescue terrier/sheltie mix who we adore. I work at a nonprofit. Didn’t think I wanted children until the pandemic hit & all my priorities changed & I realized I did.
How are you feeling: It’s so weird I didn’t have morning sickness at all like I did w/ my other pregnancies so honestly, it’s been hard to believe I’m pregnant. It’s just recently at 16 weeks, that I’m starting to show & it’s starting to feel more real. Def bloaty. Having trouble sleeping through the night just recently, it feels like I can’t seem to get comfortable. The other symptom which tells me I’m pregnant is that I’ve felt in need of an hr nap after walking my dog just a mile. 😴
Hi! I finally decided to join the thread. Hoping to connect with some other pregnant people :-)

Introduce yourself: Alyssa, 25 and this is my first pregnancy :) I’m very happy to be here! I’m in remission from ovarian cancer and never thought I’d be able to have children, so I’m really excited but also a bit nervous since it was such a tough road to get here.

How did you find out?
My partner and I were on a trip to Northern California for my best friends wedding and I was supposed to start my cycle the day of the wedding, and it didn’t start I just thought it was because of traveling but it still didn’t start when we got home. So after a reiki client I went into the bathroom and peed on a test so my period would start (cuz that always how it works 😂) and it was immediately positive. I don’t think I’ve said the F word so many different ways. 😂😂

We are both yoga teachers and practice many movement modalities and love to travel.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I am feeling very grateful that this experience has been pretty gentle so far. The first trimester my biggest symptoms were complete exhaustion and being hungry all the time for bean and cheese burritos 😂 and so much congestion.
The second trimester my biggest symptom has been round ligament pain and tender breasts/nipples.
Emotionally I’ve been pretty peaceful with little bouts of irritability. But I usually just find some time for myself to recharge and I’m good to go.
I am due June 29th 2023. I found out because I was nauseous on our way to a funeral and my sister and husband told me to take a test. I didn’t believing them so I took it to prove a point and both were very very positive. I am now 22 weeks pregnant with a baby boy!💙

Due date? July 3rd going by my last period, but my OB says June 28th based on the baby’s size, so I'm going with June.
How did you find out? We were trying, so when my period didn't come, I took a test and it was positive

How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Loads, but I'm 29 weeks, so that'll do it. He's a super wiggly baby, and I'm super excited/nervous! I just found out that we are going to be doing a foley induction on 6/15 to deliver on 6/16, and holy cow that shook me. Going into labor is such an elusive thing. You know it'll happen, but you don't know when, exactly. But this is a DATE. Whew! Lucky for me, I've had a pretty good pregnancy, with not too much nausea. My skin has decided to betray me since starting the third trimester, and I think I'm going to need to start using a belly band.

Been feeling much better these days just very out of breath and constantly tired. But other than that baby is mommy are very healthy despite the fibroids and age.
Hello everyone! My name is Hojimeb Fulwark, and I work as a software developer. Let me present myself carefully in light of recent events. I'm 35 years old and have a fantastic 6-year-old kid named DS. My husband (DH) and I have been married for 16 years, and we cherish our family.
Regarding the due date, it would be June 10th based on my last menstrual period (LMP). However, my cycles have been erratic since my last loss, and I just got a very dark test line, which might signal that I am pregnant at an early stage. As a result, I'm now unsure of the actual due date.
I found out I was pregnant when I took a pregnancy test yesterday, and it verified the happy news!
In terms of other elements of my life, we have a six-year-old kid who has recently begun kindergarten. It's wonderful to see him develop and learn. We don't have any pets at the time. Professionally, I work as a software developer, which I appreciate since it provides me with new challenges.
I'm trying not to become too emotionally connected yet, considering our history of miscarriages. However, I can't help but be excited and hopeful about this new pregnancy. Keep your fingers crossed for a favorable outcome!
I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone and sharing this adventure with you.
I am Andy, and very excited to be a part of this community!
Due date? 8 sep

How did you find out?
My partner and I were on a trip to Northern California for my best friends wedding and I was supposed to start my cycle the day of the wedding, and it didn’t start I just thought it was because of traveling but it still didn’t start when we got home. So after a reiki client I went into the bathroom and peed on a test so my period would start (cuz that always how it works 😂) and it was immediately positive. I don’t think I’ve said the F word so many different ways. 😂😂

We are both yoga teachers and practice many movement modalities and love to travel.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
I am feeling very grateful that this experience has been pretty gentle so far. The first trimester my biggest symptoms were complete exhaustion and being hungry all the time for bean and cheese burritos 😂 and so much congestion.
The second trimester my biggest symptom has been round ligament pain and tender breasts/nipples.
Emotionally I’ve been pretty peaceful with little bouts of irritability. But I usually just find some time for myself to recharge and I’m good to go.
Due date? July 3rd going by my last period, but my OB says June 28th based on the baby’s size, so I'm going with June.
How did you find out? We were trying, so when my period didn't come, I took a test and it was positive

How did you find out? My period is always on time, and last October my body felt different, I felt different. So I took a test and to my surprise I was pregnant. We couldn’t believe it and waited a bit over 4 months before announcing it. This was a natural and surprise pregnancy.
Tell us about yourself : I work as a Administrative partner in the project control operations department. I have a background in graphic design. Love to go for walks, love going to comedy shows, love being around family. My nieces and nephew have been my kids and now after all these years of practice:) I am finally going to be a mommy. Glory to God!!!
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? The first 5 months was hard, not being able to eat as everything tasted disgusting and being nauseous 24/7. Been feeling much better these days just very out of breath and constantly tired. But other than that baby is mommy are very healthy despite the fibroids and age.
Everything is going well!!! Pure miracle and joy!
Regarding the due date, it would be June 10th based on my last menstrual period (LMP). However, my cycles have been erratic since my last loss, and I just got a very dark test line, which might signal that I am pregnant at an early stage. As a result, I'm now unsure of the actual due date.
I found out I was pregnant when I took a pregnancy test yesterday, and it verified the happy news!
In terms of other elements of my life, we have a six-year-old kid who has recently begun kindergarten. It's wonderful to see him develop and learn. We don't have any pets at the time. Professionally, I work as a software developer, which I appreciate since it provides me with new challenges.
I'm trying not to become too emotionally connected yet, considering our history of miscarriages. However, I can't help but be excited and hopeful about this new pregnancy. Keep your fingers crossed for a favorable outcome!
I'm looking forward to interacting with everyone and sharing this adventure with you.
I am Andy, and very excited to be a part of this community!
Due date?
