Hi, I'm Sarah. I am due the 8th of November. We have 4 living children 2 boys and 2 girls, ages 10 to 3. Last spring we lost a little girl to anencephely and 4 years ago we had a little boy stillborn at 20 weeks. Those is going to be a rainbow baby and a tiebreaker!
Hi my name is Karin, I’m 36 years old and have two boys who are 6 & 3 years old. I live in the UK and am a nurse in NICU.
I have been feeling really sick and being sick so have been prescribed anti sickness tablets so I’m hoping they work! I had sickness through most of my pregnancy with my previous 2 children but it did get a bit better past the first trimester. I’m hoping it won’t be that bad this time around!
I have my first midwife appointment on Wednesday and don’t have a date for the 12 week scan yet
Hello, my name is Niki, I am a supervisor in the healthcare field. I am 35 and have one 5 year old daughter, and one angel baby. I am due November 7th. Last May we suffered a missed miscarriage and then had a chemical in November. We met with a fertility clinic to get some things sorted out and while waiting for my cycle day 1 we found out we are pregnant. We are over the moon but I am having crazy anxiety. For my missed miscarriage I had a scan where I was measuring a bit behind but told not to worry at 8w3d. Then at my 12 week scan my husband and I were told there was no heartbeat. I had no symptoms anything was wrong. Fast forward to now, I have had growth scans at 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. All look fantastic, I'm even measuring ahead by 4 days. But I am TERRIFIED to tell family. My husband wants to share so we have support, but I have crazy anxiety that things will go wrong before my 12 week scan. People keep saying of you have no bleeding or cramping, assume everything is okay, but I made that assumption last time... I'm most scared to tell my 5 year old because she was heartbroken last time we lost the baby.
Anyways, thanks for the vent.
Fun fact about me, I am also a local artist that focuses on acrylic painting.
Hi! I’m AC. I’m about to turn 41 next month and am in Canada. This is my first pregnancy and I’m becoming a single mother by choice. As I did IUI, I found out very early that I was pregnant. I was shocked that it worked on my first round, and thrilled!! I’ve had 2 ultrasounds and many blood tests already. I have remained excited throughout, a bit nervous about some parts of it, and impatient to get to the next fruit on the app
My EDD is Nov 13. I feel lucky that I haven’t had any nausea or vomiting as I was worried how I would manage that with my job (where I am often leading serious and important meetings). I’ve had some extreme thirst and hunger, but those seem to be slowing down, and fatigue has been my constant throughout. I bloated pretty much right away and outgrew my work pants, so I’ve had to change my wardrobe to mostly dresses. It’s becoming hard to hide my belly and I will be relieved when I don’t have to hide it anymore!
My immediate family and a small group of close friends have known I was pregnant from the start, but I have otherwise been hesitant to share it knowing I am at a higher risk of miscarriage. I am planning to wait until second trimester and my genetic testing results have come back, but that means I will still be keeping the secret from the rest of the family on Mother’s Day. Each week I get through allows me some relief that I’ve held on to the pregnancy and I get more confident as time passes.
I have a very hyper Boston Terrier (he’ll be 2 next week), who loves everyone and everything, but he is overzealous in how he displays it. He is up in everyone’s face when he can. He’s also super attached to me and can be clingy, so sharing my time will be new for him! He is my world and has been treated as my baby his whole life. I am nervous about how it will go once baby is here.
Hi I’m Monique! I’m 27 and pregnant with baby #2. I unfortunately am diagnosed with HG Hyperemesis which has been debilitating, hoping I found a good cocktail to keep my symptoms at bay but this is the first day in 14 days that I’ve eaten solid food. I’m due Nov 26th and we are so excited for this miracle no matter how hard it’s been.
Hi, my names Alexis, I'm 31 and expecting my first on November 28th!
We live in the Midwest and I'm a senior pharmacy technician for the past 7 years. My partner and I have been together for 16 years and we've never really "tried" as I've always been very impatient and would expect it to happen right away lol. I was on bc for about 5 1/2 years and stopped about 2 years ago. I was on it due to my crazy cycles and how inconsistent they were. My partner also last October stopped drinking energy drinks and we think that has something to do with it as well. Anyway, I was about a week late for my period, which is the latest it has been late since I discontinued bc and I was craving cheese. I'm lactose intolerant so that should have been a sign lol I ate a whole block in 2 days and my partner goes "are you pregnant?" I was like pshhh nooo. The next night he insisted I take a test so I got a pack of three and took 2 of them and both said positive! I was in total shock but he instantly started calling his family lol.
We had our first ob appointment on April 21st so we got to see the heart beat and get that confirmation! I've had nausea that's almost all day but no vomiting. My boobs hurt sooooo bad and I'm peeing all the time. I'm also bloated and constipated so that's a little bit annoying. I have super human smell and that drives me up the wall at times lol. I go in May 7th for the NIPT test and I can't wait to find out the gender! There's a family bet on what it's going to be so I can't wait!
We are proud fur parents of 3 Australian Shepherds and a ball python.
Hello I’m Linnea and this is my 5th baby. It’s a girl, due November 14.
This was my earliest for finding out! 3 weeks and 4 days with a pregnancy test at home.
I’m an RN but choose to stay at home and homeschool my kids. Girl-boy-boy-girl- and another girl coming! We live in very rural woods and love growing things in the garden and being in the forest.
I’ve been way more sick this time than ever before! Getting better now at almost 12 weeks. But still just have a super yuck taste on my mouth! Ugh. Super excited for baby girl though! Can’t wait to feel better and eat healthier.
Hi everyone! I'm Jen and I'm due Nov 13. This is my first pregnancy, but I do have two step sons (14 and 20). I'm also 38 so this may end up my only pregnancy.
I took pregnancy test with my husband when I was a week late on my period but I knew it was going to be positive. I was already feeling the exhaustion and boob soreness lol.
I work full time at a university and I'm a graduate program director and faculty member. I teach a couple of courses, one in the fall so I'll have to find backup this year. My husband is an IT contractor for the government. Not too make my life more complicated, but I'm also in the middle of my PhD dissertation. I still think I'll be able to graduate in May 2026 though.
We're still waiting on the results of our nipt test and we plan to tell everyone very soon which is good because I feel like I look like a beach ball already. Between the bloating and being 13 weeks, I find dressing myself the most difficult and stressful part of my day lately lol.
Hey all, I’m B, due 11/13. We found out very early (8/9dpo) during a fertility cycle with Letrozole. We have 2 living children (5&7) and 7 losses, including 4 in the last two years. I’ve been monitored very closely and will be on Lovenox the duration of the pregnancy and just incredibly grateful to still be here.
I’m also an RN by trade but staying home to homeschool my kids (woot @buchheimbabynumberfour 🙌) and cook all the things from scratch.
Looking forward to getting to know many of you!

I am 15 weeks pregnant today and very excited for my first baby.
It wasn’t a planned pregnancy but it turns out it’s good timing for me and my boyfriend; funny how in the end things have a way of working out perfect.
I am finally maybe getting over what seemed like endless days of morning sickness, still taking diclectan but definitely doing better.
Hey I’m CC, we are due 11/10 and this is our first. I am 32 yo, and so grateful it only took one try for us immediately after stopping birth control. No morning sickness so also grateful for that, but definitely experiencing other symptoms- congestion so can’t breath out my nose, extremely sore breasts, and I was really tired in first trimester but currently have a lot more energy in 2nd. Hoping the summer heat isn’t too brutal as I continue to grow!
Hi! I’m Carolyn. I’m a 37 year old elementary school teacher and I’m pregnant with my first baby. It’s a girl! My husband and I got married in June 2024 and started trying right away. I was worried that I was too old and would have trouble. I didn’t really, I just didn’t understand my ovulation cycle until I started tracking it in February. Once I did I got pregnant right away!
My husband and I have two dogs and a big garden. We enjoy being outdoors, though it is getting harder for me to walk for long distances or bend over to harvest the garden. I’m on my feet a lot in my classroom so I’m really looking forward to summer.
I’ve been lucky with a relatively easy pregnancy so far. I’m tired, and my feet and back hurt, but otherwise I’m feeling good.
I’m really glad to have found this group because all of my friends had their babies years ago. It’s nice to check in with other people!
Hello my name is Nancy and our baby is due November 5th. We had a call from the fertility clinic to give us the great news, my heart was pounding as I am well into my fourties'. My husband and I will celebrate 5 years mariage this September. We enjoy nature and good company, movies and walks. I am always singing and cooking :)
Next appointment is Monday as my doctor wants to see me every three weeks. Hope all goes well!
Fun fact: I lived in Sao Paulo Brazil where I studied fashion and had my own swimsuit line. Now my little one is swimming but doesn't need a suit!
Hi, I’m Aerial. Married, due Thanksgiving with my 3rd baby boy. 2 under 2 here I come. The eldest is a teenager. Hubby and I planned our baby because we wanted our current little one to have a sibling close in age. Plus, he’s my shadow right now. I found out the week my baby turned 1. Just upgraded my Mom vehicle to a Mercedes Benz GL 450… needed a third row for family travels. Currently live in SC near the Bluffton area. I work from home for a CPA part time as his bookkeeper and tax preparer. I love traveling. I’m a December Capricorn, born on the 28th. Last year I spent my birthday with hubby and our 6 month old in St. Lucia. I still plan to take a birthday trip for my 36th but it’ll be early into the new year with both my littles and hubby.
Hiya, I’m Dia. I’m due November 26th, two days before my own birthday! After nearly ten years of no luck with my ex, my new partner and I have tried using a donor and well, it worked the second time! This is my first pregnancy. I was so excited I forgot how to breathe. My partner came into this relationship with our 12 year old son and I brought along our 3 year old daughter. We now have a little farm, both work from home and have a little boy on the way.
Fun fact: We built a playhouse for the kiddos and it’s so cute! The idea that we built a mini house with our own hands is so awesome! Can’t wait to spend time in there with little man.
Hi! I’m Kierstin. I’ll be 37 in a few weeks and this is my fourth 💀. Baby girl is due the end of November. I’m a SAHM and have one medically complex child with severe special needs and disabilities. Husband and I have been married almost 14 years 🙂. Oldest daughter is almost 12, our special babygirl is 9 and our surprise boy is 1 lol. After the boy we we figured, what’s one more 😂. Feeling shockingly good. I was pretty sick my first trimester but after that passed I’ve been fine. We live on a little subsistence farm in the Appalachian mountains. I love gardening, canning, cooking, baking and all that domestic stuff 😂
