    Howdy! My name is Steph. I am 31 and this is my first baby.

    I am due ~October 16th (just based on the first day of my last cycle, we haven't had our first baby appointment yet).

    I've been testing a few days before my period is due for months and finally got a teeny tiny faint positive line on February 1st! I've been testing every day since and the line is now dark.

    I work in Human Resources, and my husband is a Marriage and Family Therapist. We have a 6-year-old border collie. I'm a backpacker, rock climber, reader, novice painter, and meditation enthusiast. I am hoping things align so I can have a safe and active pregnancy.

    I am tired and bloated as hell. I'm grateful to work from home so I can wear comfy clothes and take a nap on my lunch break.

    IGTKY: Fun fact!
    I took a 13-day beginner mountaineering course in September as a 'TTC Bachelorette Party' to do something big before my allowed activities change for a while. I'm so glad I did it and I can't wait to tackle more mountaineering objectives in 2026 and beyond!
  • Hello, so excited to be here my name is Mel!

    Due date: October 4

    I had a hunch before going to a doctor's appointment and took a test I thought for sure it would be negative but it turned out it wasn't! I found out around 4 weeks.

    This will be our first baby, my husband and I have married for 3 years and I work as a NICU nurse.

    I'm feeling anxious and a little overwhelmed but so excited and blessed just eager to get that first appointment for sure!

    Fun fact I am a twin.. We will see...everyone keeps thinking I will have twins.

    > If we have a lot of people here who like working out, yoga, fitness, etc, we can start doing Fit Mom Friday posts to chat about all of this more!

    I would love doing a Fit Mom Friday thread!!
  • That all makes sense! Thank you so so much 🥰

    @ali_lada1 I've been using the sleep meditations from the Expectful app and am loving them!
  • putting a pillow between my legs when sleeping has been so helpful! Especially since I used to sleep on my stomach 
  • Hello! I’m 28 with a 7yo daughter, I miscarried in Feb.2024 and am pregnant again. Hoping this one sticks!

    Due date: 10/9/25

    How did you find out?-
    Spent an entire Saturday with nausea that could only compete with my first pregnancy. Ran out right away to get tests that came up positive.

    Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?)-
    My partner of 12yrs is a professional tattoo artist. I’m a dental assistant but I also teach yoga. We love going to concerts, have taken our daughter to many, and are very excited to possibly take her to a concert of her choice this year. We are an active family that loves to camp and travel but we don’t see Baby2 slowing us down at all. We have 3 cats and 2 dogs so the house will be very full come October. 

    How are you feeling? (First appointment? Any symptoms? Emotionally?)- I do not have a first appointment scheduled yet. I found out at my 12wk ultrasound that I miscarried last year so I want to just sit in and enjoy the news before making any appointments. Feeling very very very nauseous. I’ve been on a liquid or soft diet to help with throat pain when throwing up. Emotionally my feelings are all mixed! I just keep reminding myself this is what the whole family has been wanting and waiting for. 

    GTKY: I have an advanced inversion practice- handstands & forearms stands- that I plan to keep throughout my pregnancy. Of course I’ll make modifications and continue with my practice safely but I don’t plan on quitting! 
  • Introduce yourself: my name is Kayte 37 y/o

    Due date: October 15

    How did you find out? At home tests followed by 3 beta hcgs to confirm the levels were rising/doubling as they should

    Tell us about yourself (Other children/pets? Job? I have 4 children, two adopted daughters 10&7 and two bio sons 5 & 4, prior to having my two bio sons I lost 6 babies due to miscarriage so technically this is my 9th pregnancy! I am a hairstylist, Things you like to do? Spouse/partner?) we are very involved in our local church and love to spend time together as a family

    How are you feeling? Excited & exhausted (First appointment? First sono is 2/27 at approx 7 weeks Any symptoms? Very tired with nausea on and off Emotionally?) I’m happy trusting the Lord but trying to prepare myself for people who might have a negative reaction and think we are crazy for having 5 children 

    GTKY: Fun fact! Tell us something unique or interesting about you! 🤷‍♀️ I’m a mom that’s my life….

    <div class="QuoteText">Hii im Thais, 32 yo first pregnancy!

    Due date: Oct 4th based on my cycle but adjusted to Oct 10th after bloodwork

    How we found out: it was our first month trying so it was a big surprise, I was 100% sure the test would turn out negative

    How are you feeling: last week I experienced some strong cramps and bleeding more than just a few spots so we rushed to the ER. They performed blood and ultrasound and we got a heartbeat! But with the bleeding they say there’s a 50-50 chance for this pregnancy - we’re trying to stay positive. Some days are harder than others. Bleeding has diminished but not completely gone yet. Went to see my primary physician yesterday and we are waiting for the results now on HCG levels. <div>
    </div><div>I am very anxious to tell my family, I want to have good news. Have you all told your families yet? </div></div>
    </blockquote>
    Hey Thais! I hope the HGC levels are rising and everything is okay.  We haven't told our families yet since it's so early for me and we want to make sure this one sticks, but I am dying to tell friends and family.  I think in terms of telling family early it's all about personal preference and your relationship with your family.  Praying that today will give you good news to be able to confirm to your family! 
  • Hi everyone! I’m Amy. Found out I was pregnant for the first time after TTC for over a year with my husband. Due date should be around October 20. 
    Even after TTC for awhile, I actually found out because I dreamt I was pregnant… I never would have believed this if someone else had told me but I had the dream and kept thinking about it throughout the day. It was still early for me to test but I had the strange feeling my dream was telling me something and it turns out I was correct! This is my first pregnancy as well. It’s just been me and my husband and our little corgi waiting for this news and we’re so happy. 
    My first appointment isn’t until March 12, but for now my earliest symptoms have been tender breasts, tiredness, and extreme bloating… I already barely fit into a pair of jeans I just bought about a month ago and I haven’t put on any weight yet. 
    Fun fact about me! I’ve been to all 50 states!
  • Yay! Same expected due date!
  • We’ve told our families!
