Due date? Sometime in January....haven't been able to get in to my Dr yet.....based off conception date January 13th based on period January 20th
How did you find out? Checked my period tracking app after we had set and not8ced it happened on a day that had a high chance of pregnancy....waited until 10 days after and had 2 negative test....tested again a couple days later...appeared negative but I saved it....the next day I looked at it again and I could see the faintest line.....waited a few more days and got a clear blue digital test that came back pregnant 1-2 weeks.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I have a 9 year old son from a previous relationship, and a 2 and a half year old son with my husband. I currently cook at a daycare that has 120 kids. My husband is also a cook at a local busy restaurant. We have a cat and dog who are currently living with my mother as my fig needs a larger property than what we have and my cat has just stayed at her place as well after I moved out. We also have a per rabbit named Lola who stays with us at our apartment.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Major pregnancy Braun...I accidently left my phone on the roof of my car 2 nights ago and drove off...needless to say I got a new phone....and I have been making thensilliest mistakes at work for at least 2 weeks now
How did you find out? We had wanted a third but it just didn't happen, so we gave up. That's why I was surprised when my tracking app told me my period was late and even more surprised when I saw 2 lines. I didn't really believe it until I saw the heartbeat on the ultrasound!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I have a husband, a 6yo, a 4yo and a super fluffy dog. I was a researcher at a university but I'm currently a student again. I finish my program on Dec 4, so really hoping this baby stays inside until after then 😂
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I am mostly feeling tired and bloated - ready for maternity pants! My second pregnancy was really bad, so I'm feeling anxious about this one, even though everything is normal so far.
Introduce yourself: Hi I’m Shelby, Due date? Well based on my lmp it’s 12/21 but baby is measuring a few days earlier.
How did you find out? Had an iud out in January and started trying the next month. Had one cycle then found out almost 4 days early via hpt on easter.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): I am in the intermodal business. My husband is navy so we live off the east coast with our two dogs and son. We took an earlier blood test and discovered this baby is a girl this week.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Anxiety is very present. Super emotional about everything and very hungry for no reason.
Introduce yourself: I go by Pyro online. I am 30yo and this is my first pregnancy.
Due date? 12-9 or 12-11 depending on which doc we talked to :)
How did you find out? We've been trying for a year and a half. In January we started seeing a fertility doc. After a lot of testing and appointments, doc gave me 2 meds: 1 to force me to have my period (mine were super irregular) then 1 to force me to ovulate. Before taking the first med, doc said I needed to take a pregnancy test since it would be very bad for an existing pregnancy. It was positive!!! Turned out we didn't need any medical intervention. Although I have to give the fertility doc credit, the reduction in stress that came with having a real plan to conceive probably helped a lot!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): My husband has 2 kids from a previous marriage who live with their mom. We have a very sweet old cat. I love crafting and gaming. Also hiking on occasion, although I tend to be the target of all biting insects. I work in IT, which is great since I can work from home!
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Only symptoms so far are breast tenderness and fatigue. I got really lucky and haven't had any nausea or constipation!! I was expecting to feel pretty miserable this trimester, so feeling thankful about that. We have already told most of our family, but we will be sharing with his daughters this weekend, which does add a little anxiety. They are such an important part of our lives and I am hoping they will be excited and involved, but we have some concerns about their reactions.
Hi My name is Cynthia! I am 40 years old, mom of a 15 year old boy and a 12 year old boy and pregnant with our 3rd.
Due date - December 11th
How did you find out? I had some weird symptoms going on and when my cycle didn't show up, I tested the next morning.
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): Being a mom of a teenager and a "pre-teen" keep my busy. I work from home full-time and my husband is a teacher/coach at a local high school. I enjoy reading and crafting (when i have time) - but mostly a pretty laid back person who just is looking to connect with others during this journey....and a plus would be other moms who can relate to having teenagers at the same time.
DS#1 born in 2008 DS#2 born in 2010 PG with #3 - due December 2023
@southerndear congrats on your third! I’m expecting my first, but my partners 3rd- my bonus son will be 13 the same month as the new baby comes. Life will be busy!
Hi there! My name is Emily and I’m 39 with due date December 19. My boyfriend and I have been together for about 7 years and this will be our first. We found out the day before a vacation to Portugal as I was feeling “off”! Lots of emotions and processing the last 2 months, both of us happy and excited but also a major change. It’s uplifting seeing other women my age out there going through the same thing right now, so just wanted to introduce myself. My boyfriend and I both work remotely and have an amazing dog, Aussie/collie mix, who we consider our baby. We love traveling and the outdoors. I’ve been feeling okay overall aside from bloating and occasional waves of queasiness.
I’m 32 and just got married in Dec 2022. I stopped birth control in February thinking it would take a while to get things back to normal. I was wrong! I never had a period after stopping birth control and randomly took a pregnancy test bc I was feeling awful! Now I’m due Dec 5 )) very pleasant surprise and a huge blessing!! Just had my first appt yesterday and hearing the heart beat was the greatest sense of peace I’ve ever experienced in my life.
I don’t have any nausea whatsoever. I’m just really tired and my boobs are killing me. Hormones are all over the place as well. I don’t want to eat anything healthy either so I’m forcing myself to make a smoothie everyday! My husband is a farmer so I don’t see him much this time of year so the hormones/depression are not fun right now.
I miscarried in March. It was horrible and the bleeding was insane for a long time. I never got normal as I just felt terrible. When I realized (while on Vacay) that I was cramping prior to the trip and probably should have had my period. Surprise!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
I work part time from home but am mostly a SAHM to 3 crazy boys. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat. We spend so much time doing sports with the bigger boys that in our down time we just like to hang at home. Bonfires with the neighbors and snuggling the kiddos in bed are about as exciting as we get these days.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
Terrible. I feel terrible. Nausea all day. I’m now getting horrible stomach aches the second I eat too. I have UC so maybe it’s that… I’m so tired but having a 15 month old doesn’t help either.
Emotionally I feel kinda alone. DH works so much. He travels 2 weeks out of the month. I’m surviving. Scared how I’m going to do this with 2 under 2 and juggle the bigger boys. I want to be excited but overwhelmed is my main feeling right now. I’m sure it will come!
I’d love to get to know y’all but this app drives me crazy. So I’ll do my best to stay involved somehow. 😂
Introduce yourself: Hi I'm Karen this will be baby #1
Due date? 12/16
How did you find out? After trying for few years, two MMC, and dealing with other fertility clinics that we didn't feel comfortable with we tried a different clinic. Tried a couple of rounds of IUI then had a cycle that needed to be timed intercourse. Found out two weeks later from blood work 😀
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? No children but we have a sassy little English Bulldog named Hector. Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): My husband and I own a tree care company, so it's all trees all the time!
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Ugh I'm having all of the symptoms!! But I am grateful for the constant reminder everything is still in motion. After having two MMC I have been a little guarded and reluctant to let myself getting excited. I have been creeping around on here for a few weeks and have been scared to interact (sorry 😕). But I think I'm finally ready to feel the joy I should be feeling, I'm further along than ever before, and I'm excited to participate!

I had a GI specialist appointment and he needed to do a pregnancy test prior to some of his testing. Called me two hours later and was like soooo your pregnant!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?):
My husband and I have been married since 10/01/22. We have an almost 2yo black English lab who is spoiled and the biggest goof! We had been trying to get pregnant since beginning of November, but had stopped trying early February when I started having some health issues. Well, then March we got pregnant.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)?
Emotionally we are super excited, just a bit nervous where we are still trying to figure out what is going on with my health. But nothing serious and my doctors agree my pregnancy shouldn’t be effected.
Symptoms have been pretty mild. No morning sickness, some nausea with smells. Exhausted with some headaches lately.
Introduce yourself: Hello Everyone! Just found this. I'm 25 and going to have my first!

How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? I feel pretty good overall. I feel like alot of women have it harder than me in pregnancy. I just get tired and don't feel like eating sometimes.
How did you find out? Positive tests on 3/29 when my cycle was 2-3 days late!
Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?): Married with 2 cats, 2 dogs and 6 goats. We love being outside, gardening, exploring, geo-caching. We both work full time, luckily I work from home.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Feeling good! Emotional for sure. First trimester was exhausting and a bit nauseating but as long as I kept snacking I was fine. Happy to be this far along!
How did you find out? Some time in march just before my period I was cramping badly. Thought to take a test and saw faint positive lines that has changed my life in the most amazing away.
Tell us about yourself : lost my angel baby Kobi in October ‘22. Job? Currently starting a clothing line. Things you like to do? I love to bake. Spouse/partner? Married to an amazing man.
How are you feeling (Any symptoms, emotionally)? Constantly feeling overwhelmed as we are expecting twins. I’m scared half the time and torn between decisions of vaginal birth or CS. But their little kicks are an assurance that all will be well and I need not worry.
@knottiedfaa1fdedc86f232 welcome and congratulations! So sorry for your loss last year and I hope this pregnancy is smooth sailing-even with twins! My sister had a successful vaginal birth with her twins and I belive went to 36 or 37 weeks with them, so know it's possible!
