We might as well use this as the roster, if you don't have a problem doing the changes ....

Sure. I'll try to get the list started sometime today. So if you didn't tell us your due date in this thread yet (prothyraia, Alexa, Haiku, familyaffair) please do so I can get you added on the right date (it's also ok to just say early June or whatever).

Oh, and Andrea, should I put June 5 or 10? Or early June?

I hope everyone is enjoying early pregnancy! And Haiku, I hope you get the result you want.

Hi, I'm Erika. I've never posted to a DD club this early before. I'm 12 dpo. Got the faint line yesterday and have had symptoms since Saturday.

This is our third. EDD June 10 according to when I think I O'ed (or June 12 according to LMP), but my first two children came at least a week past their dates, so I'm just thinking "mid-June."

Getting around to telling the fam and a close friend or two, but waiting to tell others. Despite the fact that we've had no problems before (thanks be to God), I am still nervous about something going wrong.

We're planning to stop at three (although every once in a while, I think...four?! But DH would not go for that!) so I'm trying to relax and enjoy things this time around since it will likely be my last. (Being happy is not going to cause anything bad to happen...right? Right??) I don't have any tests left, and am trying to keep from buying more just to keep checking in.

Congratulations everyone!

Hi! My name is Siobhan, I am 26, and this will be my first. I have been married for just over a year. We actually conceived on our anniversary weekend away!! I am technically due June 2nd and I can't wait! I have a few symptoms but not many. I almost want to start throwing up just so I know its real! I tested positive (VERY faint) on the 24th and the lines kept getting darker until my last test (out of 6) on the 28th which was a clear, dark pink line! My husband and I are thrilled and can't wait to see a bump! I love Mothering! I have been a subscriber for 3 years. I was gifted the subscription from a family that I worked for and I've never looked back! I am so excited for everyone here! xo

ps. when do you plan on telling everyone? I told my DH on Monday night and now I desperately want to tell my sisters and my mom...too early? thoughts? advice?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Hi Ladies!
I'm jumping in here as well as in the May group. I'm due end of May/beginning of June.
This will by my first, and is quite a surprise. I'm 28 and my partner and I have only been together a couple of months. This is a total shocker, but we are very excited about it.
I think that's about it for now

Barefoot, let's just say 6/5 for now. If something is really wonky after talking to a midwife, measuring, etc. I'll maybe change it later. We've got LOTS of time, right?

Bax, if being happy is a jinx, I should have never stayed pregnant with #1! I was floating on air! It's hard being so surpremely happy and thinking, "This might end." I did a lot of praying and a lot of talking to myself that no matter what, it is not my fault. I am doing the best I can, but God's omiscience and acts of nature are out of my control. So I am just going to be happy with this moment and enjoy the blessing of being pregnant for this hour. HTH

SWhite, telling other people is so personal! It totally depends. With #1, we had fun because we got our dads "grandpa's" day cards (about 7 weeks along) and of course the Grandmas found out too. Siblings we told at 10 weeks, and church friends, etc. we told at 12. Pretty "by the book".

This time, we are gathering at Thanksgiving with a bunch of family and will probably tell most people then. We will be telling parents and siblings before the trip, though, and church family will learn after that, probably. My DH and I are kind of enjoying just having this secret between us. But I'll need/want to tell my mom before too long!

Hi, My name is Sarah, DP is Yvonne we have been together for 9 years and had a Civil Union 7 years ago. We have one little boy who is 3.5. We have been trying for 1 year with two late first tri losses in Jan and May. I am really being cautious and trying not to stress about everything. We haven't told many people because of the losses but I am sure that our mothers will be able to tell We are hoping for a homebirth but we are starting with an OB practice because of the history. I think that if all goes well we will transition to the midwife around 16w. Ironically, we have had three different people tell us that they had dreams that I was pregnant, before I was, with twin boys! We will see. I am not sure what U/S we will be doing as we only had the 20 week scan and the NST at 41w with Holden. Here we come June!

YAY DDC June!

YAY!!!! It's so cool to meet you all!

I'm Sara and this is #1 for us. I started feeling symptoms 2 weeks ago and got my bfp last Wednesday. I'm due June 1st and hopefully this one will stick. I was pg in April 2010 and m/c in June, but August was our first try since then, so we're feeling lucky

DH and I have been married for 1 year and together for 7. We both have b-days in June as well.

Looking forward to hanging out with all of you!

@Barefoot... you can just put me down for early June. My cycle wasn't regular so I'm not exactly sure! But we are going to do a confirmation ultrasound with the midwife in a few weeks and I'll update then!

After having family/friends hassling us about when the baby was going to be here last time (he was only a week and half after our EDD, for goodness sakes!) I'm insisting on being as vague as possible.

So, early June for me. For you ladies, anyway For everyone else, I'm going to say late June, hah!

Hi All,

Positive strips here as well for the past few days. I cant stop obsessing as I dont have any symptoms at all.With my first one I felt miserable even before I knew I was pregnant. My cycles are irregular so as per Ovulation date I should be due June 8th but as per LMP it should be May 28th. Either ways, I am due the early part of June and will confirm it with OB's appointment in the next couple of weeks.

Congrats to all of us!!!

[mae14]

I may be out. I have what looks like the start of my period, but just before I knew that I had taken a test that came up with a faint positive, but within the time limit (previous ones came up after 5 -10 minutes). If I have another faint positive tomorrow I may give my midwife a call and see what she thinks.
What does everyone here think?

[KingsDaughter76]

Hi~

I am Kellina.... due with baby #8 for our family. EDD is June 10th. Praying this little one sticks!! :-)

[heathenmom]

BFS, you ROCK! Thanks for doing this ... just one thing, though. When you updated the original message you wiped out YOUR intro! Can you repost it?

[kawa kamuri]

[SoCaliMommy]

Cautiously jumping in

I'm Kami, due with baby #3 around June 12th,2010. I just got a nice + on a first response test this morning after little over 3 years of ttc. My dh is getting a SA done today, not gonna tell him til he gets home lol just figure incase something happens then we won't have to totally start over diagnostic wise.

If it's a miscarriage it could take the HCG some time to clear out. Or the bean could still be in there! Please keep us updated.

Ha! I was hoping you wouldn't notice! j/k I'll post it down here so it doesn't clutter up the first post.

Hi all, I'm BarefootScientist, my name is Mel but you can call me BFS. I have been married for six years and am a stay at home mom to a 3 year old who is a serious handful half the time and pretty laid back the other half. I used to work in genetics and microbiology labs, hence the handle. I found out I am expecting #2 last Thursday and I'm calling my due date June 1.

[GolfAddict]

Hey girls!!

I'm B and got my BFP on the 23rd at 14DPO. My due date is June 2. DH and I have been together 8 yrs and married 3. We got pg in Jan after trying for about 1.5 years. Unfortunately, we mc'd on March 17th at 11w5d. Sonogram showed the baby only measured 8w4d. So we are in that nervous stage and I'm not really sure what to do to calm my mind down.

But I'm still happy to be hanging with you guys...and hopefully we will be watching each others' bellies grow HUGE together.

[jeminijad]

Add me!

Late May- Jessica- #2

good chance I'll deliver in early June.

[redeyedvireo]

Yay! This will be our second - our son will be three in December. I'm due sometime between late May and late June. It's time for bed here, so no chatting, just - good night, all!

[madcap150]

I just got a BFP today and thought I would jump in.

I'm Dara. My son is 2.5 and we've been trying for another for a while. This one will be due mid-June.

My family has dealt with a lot of bad news recently because my dad is very seriously ill, so I'm hoping this baby sticks and helps provide us all with some good news.
