Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old?

Are you partnered or single?

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise?

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?

I have a 3.5 year old dd. I'm still nursing - anyone else? I'm single. I got lucky on the first month ttc.

I think I am 4w5d, although I could be 5w1d. I found out a week ago Friday. I'm feeling good, although I have some pregnancy symptoms, right now I am finding them very reassuring and only minimally annoying. I'm mostly tired! And my appetite is really low.

How about you?

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? Surprise. DH just had a vas reversal in early June. Everything happened really much quicker than expected.

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? 4week Found out at just over 3 weeks. I have taken about 15 tests since then, just to be sure every day. :bag Feeling pretty good, but as usual, the prenatals make me nauseous.

Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old? Yes, 4 year old (almost 5) boy.

Are you partnered or single? In limbo. Father lives and works in Turkey. I live in NY state. Same father as 4 year old though. He was a good sport assisting in my desire for wanting another (he does too) but keeping pregnancy and relationship as separate entities.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? It was planned and worked on the first cycle of trying (well not if you include last summer and the one time we tried)

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
I had a positive test on Aug 22. (12 or 15 days past conception day, depending which one worked). I have passing nausea, very little, enough to let me know, but nothing to turn me off of foods....etc. I guess I am 4 or 5 weeks along. With my first pregnancy nausea hit exactly three weeks after conception, so I have a few more days if things go the same as before. (like that happens?!)

I already have one daughter, I'm married, it took a couple months to get pregnant, but we weren't trying terribly hard. I'm 4 weeks pregnant, found out for sure a few days ago. I'm hungry, and gassy and clumsy and senile and really giddy, and my finger keeps twitching on its own. Oh, and I'm still breastfeeding my daughter, she's 2.

I am married with one dd, who is two(also still nursing her). We weren't really trying and got lucky one night after watching the movie, "Knocked Up". We were also on a weekend gettaway. I started feeling "symptoms" almost immediately. I knew from within I was expecting the very next day ~ I just felt different. Actually, I knew from dtd I had just experienced another little soul being created. CRAZY!!! As far as symptoms go, what haven't I had!!! No vomiting or anything extreme. Every other symptom in the book though. We haven't told anyone. DH and I are trying to hold out as long as possible. Good Luck, Mamas! I look forward to getting to know everyone!!! : ) Oh, I'm due May 2nd.

Hi everyone! :wave

Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old? I have 2 boys, 5yo DS and 5yo DSS.

Are you partnered or single? Partnered

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? This was our first month trying, but still came as a surprise :lol

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
I've already forgotten how to figure out how far along you are... it's been over 5 years since I was last knocked up! :p I guess I'm in my fourth week now. AF was due tomorrow and we conceived around the 16th. We got our + yesterday, then I tested again this morning. Another + ;)

I'm feeling pretty good so far. Started feeling ready for bed a lot earlier than normal a few nights ago. Boobs are a little sore. I'm a bit crampy off and on, like AF is on her way, but I had that for a while with DS (worse actually) so I'm not *too* worried. Oh, and my body is pretty achy. That's about it so far.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? Nope -- just BD'd the day I ovulated!

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? I'm 4W5D...but I started watching for a BFP by 8 DPO...though technically I didn't feel confirmed until a few days ago! I feel fine (like last time) just noticing those little changes -- ever-erect nipples, peeing more, and going from not hungry to so hungry I'm shaking in like 5 seconds flat!

Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old? DD is almost 11 months old.

Are you partnered or single? Married to my wonderful DH.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? I guess we were kind of trying. We certainly weren't doing anything to prevent getting pregnant. I just didn't think we would. It took us 10 months of REALLY trying to get DD. And I'm still nursing DD every 2 hours and throughout the night. I did NOT expect to get pregnant so quickly! Regardless, we are thrilled!

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? About 4 weeks 2 days, I think. Found out a couple of days ago. Pregnancy tests have gotten darker and darker :) Feeling like crap. Part of what made me think to test is that I got a horrible head/chest cold. I haven't been sick since right after I got pregnant with DD and I had the EXACT same thing. So weird.

Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old?
My dd just turned 2 in July :D

Are you partnered or single?
Married

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise?
Two months ttc (when I told my dh I was pg his reply was "that was easy")

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
5w3d
I found out 16 dpo (a week ago today). I made myself wait because I went a bit nutso the month before, poas waaaay too early and it got to be pretty silly. This time when my period hadn't started, I sent dh to the store for a cheapy hpt and got a bfp!
So far I'm feeling really good. Last T and W I felt a little queasy ... not quite nauseous, but a little "off". But that went away. I'm tired, but I'm also not sleeping well (is there some kind of pregnancy induced insomnia? :dizzy:). I felt horrible with dd by this time, so I'm really hoping this trend continues :).

I have a 3.5 year old dd. I'm still nursing - anyone else? I'm single. I got lucky on the first month ttc.
Still nursing my dd, but not that often (her choice).

Overall I'm feeling really good except for being tired (but I think a lot of that goes to not sleeping well). I'm slightly hungrier, but I tend to have a pretty hearty appetite anyway :o (I attribute it to nursing and chasing a toddler all day long :lol). I feel so normal in fact, that I sometimes get a little nervous about it. But I keep thinking positive, and try to feel grateful that I don't feel bulldozed like I did with dd. Oh, and I'm very certain of my due date, since I know exactly when I o'd and when we conceived.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone :).

Guessed it two weeks ago Saturday when AF failed to make her trustworthy appearance, tested one week ago Saturday.

Are you partnered or single?
Married 5 years

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise?
We've been ttc for 15 months. This was our 3rd round of clomid.

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
Today is 12 dpo, I think, so not very far. I found out this morning because I woke up feeling rather queasy. I debated about whether I should even bother "wasting" the test, because I've been convinced that this cycle was a bust. I was really surprised when it came up positive--so surprised that I had my doctor order a blood test, which was also positive. I've been feeling really tired, but I think that's more from the pneumonia that I'm still recovering from.

Surprise.

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
I found out this morning. According to an online chart, I'm 5 weeks. How am I feeling? In pretty major shock right now! Physically, my boobs hurt if I roll onto my stomach. I've had light bleeding, but that is par for the course for me. I'm really tired, and early on in pregnancy, I tend to stress out really easily (that was actually my clue to test). I'm peeing a lot already.

Got pregnant in our 5th cycle of trying


How far along are you?
About 5 weeks, though my cycle varies from 28-41 days, and I'm not sure when I O'd. DH swears I got pregnant on our vacation at the end of August, but I think it was earlier than that. The night of the lunar eclipse I woke up with a little nausea and weird feeling at 3:30AM, just in time to go out and see it. I think I was pregnant then.

When did you find out?
Found out last Thursday.


How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty normal (and trying not to stress that it means I'm not really pg!)

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? About 5 1/2 weeks along. We found out a week ago last Thursday when my period did not arrive and I was feeling a little funny.

I'm feeling OK right now. A little nausea, not bad yet. I get out of breath very easily and I am just starting to feel my typical extreme pregnancy fatigue. Blech.


I have a 3.5 year old dd. I'm still nursing - anyone else? I'm single. I got lucky on the first month ttc.

I am tandem nursing my two littlest. I have nursed one or two all the way through every pregnancy but my first one.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? This was actually the first baby we got to plan, the other two were the surprises. :p It was our first month TTC.

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? I'm 5 weeks today. :D I found out last Tuesday, at 16 dpo. I'm feeling really good. A little tired, and a bit of nausea here and there, but overall I'm feeling wonderful. I LOVE being pregnant. :)

I have a 3.5 year old dd. I'm still nursing - anyone else? I'm still nursing my 2 year old, but only at night to fall asleep and occasionally when she's upset or something. I tend to expect that she'll wean before the new baby comes, but if she doesn't, I'll give tandem nursing a go. :)

2 girls, 5 yo & 2 yo

Are you partnered or single?
married for 7 years

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise?
basically a surprise...we had an oops 2 months ago, didn't get pg; last month we TTC'd, didn't get pg & while in the 2ww decided to postpone TTC indefinitely due to things going on (trying to sell our house & move, I want[ed] to go back to work); weren't trying this month but had an oops again, this one "took"

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
I'm 4 weeks along...with the previous 2, I could have told you weeks & days, I guess the 3rd time around, I'm just too tired...still getting used to the idea, too. I got faint BFPs on Thursday (FMU) & Friday (midday) & a good BFP Saturday morning. I "knew" I was pg about as soon as I conceived (intuition). Last Monday or Tuesday, I woke up feeling nauseous & I was super tired all last week (still am). I have waves of nausea but most of the time I feel fine (knock on wood).

I have a 3.5 year old dd. I'm still nursing - anyone else?
I'm still nursing my 2yo (27 months). She will nurse all day & all night if I let her (out of boredom). Today she didn't nurse at all during the day because we stayed busy. I was not as engorged as I expected to be (we occasionally have days like this & usually I'm in pain by the end of the day). I wonder if I'm going to lose my milk.

K's Mom!

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?



We have a 4.5 yr old DD and a 2 yr. old DS

I'm married for 5 yrs. in October

We were trying to avoid pregnancy actually. But a couple wild nights close together and a little too much mine and voila! :wink We're excited though. .. mostly.


I'm 4 week 5 days now. I found out officially yesterday 9/15. however, we both knew I was pregnant (lol we chuckled that I was infected with the husband seed).

I'm feeling totally pregnant already. I have all the classic symptoms. Except that I'm not actually throwing up (keeping fingers crossed that it doesn't happen) I'm extrememly exhausted. I am feeling this much more so than the last pregs. Yikes!

Do you have other kiddos? Yep, one son who is 10 months old today! Time to start planning the bday party...

Are you partnered or single? Blissfully married for 2.5 years

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? Technically only trying for 1 month. Same as with DS

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?

I am 3w3d, I had a very faint + on 7DPO which got darker by 10DPO And I am feeling great! I also LOVE being pregnant and we're quite excited about doing it all over again! I'm quite gassy and a little tired (I actually had a nap yesterday, that's rare!) but doing fine.

I fully intended to nurse DS for at least 12 months but I really don't know what happened. He just kind of phased out a few weeks ago and hasn't looked back. He was BIG on boobs too so I expected it to be more dramatic. He was sick for a week so I think that may have triggered things.

Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old? Yes, one DS. He is 17 mo.

Are you partnered or single? married.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? We conceived this bean on our first cycle TTC. Very lucky.

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? I am about 6 weeks. I found out a week and a half ago. I'm feeling OK - not as exhausted as with DS, but I have nausea and some food aversions. Unfortunately, with most of my aversions I do not know that they're aversions until I start eating them ... which then causes me to dry heave and or run to throw up. Nice!

I've lost some weight with this pregnancy.


I have a 3.5 year old dd. I'm still nursing - anyone else? I'm single. I got lucky on the first month ttc. Still nursing, but am not sure how long we'll go. I'm committed to making it to 18 months, but am just not sure after that.

How about you?

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise?
we have been actively trying for almost a year now. had a loss in december of 06

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
found out last Friday after my extreme sleepiness, late period, headaches and sore boobs gave me a clue. I am probably only about 5 weeks along...i haven't seen the doc yet. I am feeling OK now, symptoms are LOW and the only thing that's intense for me is that my house smells different. Everything smells stronger these days. Other than that, no morning sickness, only the feeling of a queasy stomach from time to time.

Hi May Mamas! So glad to join you. I just got my second bfp today (had to confirm, you know.) :lol

Do you have other kiddos? Yes, dd 2 1/4 (nursing)

Are you partnered or single? married

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? two months -- started trying after cycle in July, just like with dd, got pregnant in September. DD's bday is May 31 (due date with her was June 8). My EDD is May 28.

How far along are you? 3 weeks + a few days

When did you find out? I took an AimStick test with FMU this a.m. Had a faint line. Bough a CVS brand digital (double pack) thinking I'd wait and test again tomorrow to give my hormones a little longer to build. I couldn't wait. Just used the digital and got the beautiful PREGNANT read-out.

How are you feeling? Hungry! A little tired. Excited. When I was nursing dd down for her nap, I did have to ask her to relatch a couple of times. I don't know that it would be sore nipples this early on, though. Just as likely a lazy toddler latch.

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? Not sure how far along. I have PCOS and my cycles are wacky, some really long, some shorter. I wasn't charting, so I don't know, somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks. I found out Saturday. I feel fabulous, just really tired!

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? BIG surprise

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? I am 5 wks, 3 days. Found out last Tuesday at 4 wks, 2d. AF was late and I am quite regular. So to put my (and DH) mind at ease, I tested. I'm feeling pretty good. The fatigue is starting to settle in but that might also be due to the fact both my kids have colds and are up a few times/night. My gums are also sensitive as all get out, brushing my teeth is a bit painful now.

Hi y'all
:1bftot:

Other kiddos: 5 yo dd and 1 yo ds

Partnered-yes, married for 8 years

This pregnancy was a surprise. I'm nursing ds and have not had a fppaf.

How far along? That's a good question! I think 7 weeks, based on my guess:shy

How do I feel-one word sums it up amazed! But also followed by yuk, burp, yawn.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise?
Less than 24 hours! I had some issues for the past several months; I got a green light from an OB, dtd that night, ovulated the next day.

How far along are you?
Just over 2 weeks; almost 5 if you count from the start of my last period, which is apparently how everyone else counts--I just remembered that!

When did you find out?
This afternoon, though I knew it almost as soon as it happened. I could just tell something was different.

How are you feeling?
Okay so far, some heartburn starting and have been having dizzy spells (had these with dd, too). Dreading morning sickness, which I had from hell with dd.

Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old? Two boys, 14 months and almost 6

Are you partnered or single? Married

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? We started TTC when our now-14 month old was about 9-10 months old, but as I hadn't gotten my PPAF yet it was more of a "if it happens it happens" kind of thing. (Honestly, I had my fingers crossed it'd take a few months, I didn't want to lose my milk that early!) I got my period back August (we had recently nightweaned the little one) and a month later here we are!

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? 6.5 weeks along and found out about a week ago (stupid cheap internet pregnancy test strips kept showing up negative! I finally splurged on a $4 equate test and got our BFP :wink ) I'm feeling pretty good so far, but I need to get exercising... I lost all of the baby weight from DS2 (and then a bit), but I'm still REALLY out of shape and worried about that taking it's toll on this pregnancy.

I have a 3.5 year old dd. I'm still nursing - anyone else? You betcha! I'm eating oatmeal for breakfast and pumping twice a day to build up a freezer stash in case my supply disappears over the next month or two... DS is 14 months and does eat lots of solids, but he's NOT a comfort nurser, so I'm worried he'll refuse the breast if my supply drops. I don't have any problem with nipple soreness during pregnancy, so I was hoping to nurse through and tandem for awhile...

When did you find out? Saturday

How are you feeling? Like I'm extremely hungover 24/7. bleh.

DD is still nursing. I've been making a lot of toe fists 'cause wow! that hurts now. I hope she doesn't stop until after she gets to tandem nurse for a while.

This was our third cycle trying. I think we just had really bad timing the first two cycles...I finally figured out that I ovulate pretty late in my cycle.

How far along are you?

Just over 4 weeks.

When did you find out?

September 14th. I got a SUPER faint line with a $ Tree test that I obsessed over for 2 hours before I finally used the digital I had stashed.

How are you feeling?

Overall I feel really good. Super happy.

Other kiddos - DS#1 is 2.75 years old and DS#2 is 11 months old (all night nurser!)

Married - 4 years now!

TTC -how long...... thinking about trying so became more lax and was surprised it happened this month because my cycle seemed like it was off schedule....... (1st PPAF was July 15)

BFP was Sunday. Not that dark however!

How far? by my last AF (August 16), I should be May 24th

I was feeling really excited but I am cautious as I had an HCG done today and it was pretty low but that could be because my dates are off. I don't feel sick yet but I'm TIRED!!!!

We decided on the 24th of August that we weren't going to get my next BC pack, and two weeks later... We're lucky and apparently nice and fertile, thank G-d!

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling?
When :demon didn't show up by the 24th, I took a test, and it was positive! Looks like I'm 5 weeks along. I'm eating my weight in food, sleeping a lot (and badly), but I'm still pretty normal. Except all the girls at work are noticing that I'm mooching more food off of them than usual... :duck:

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? I am currently 7w6d. Counting from 1st day of LMP, I found out I was pregnant at 4w3d, which was actually 6 days before my period was due. I feel like pure crap - my bbs hurt like crazy, I am SOOOOOOO nauseous and tired.

Do you have other kiddos? If yes, how old? Yes - my son just turned one on the 16th. This will be my second kiddo.

Are you partnered or single? Married, and have been for nearly five years.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise? COMPLETE surprise! I had wanted to wait at least another year, if not more; DH wasn't even sure if he wanted another child.

How far along are you? When did you find out? How are you feeling? Eight weeks. I just found out this past Saturday...we've had a lot going on over the past month, which is probably why I didn't recognize any potential early symptoms. Plus, ever since I got my periods back, they've been pretty long, ranging from 39-45 days. I was on day 53 when I tested, which is also probably why I didn't think too much of it; I was used to having long cycles. Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good overall. I'm tired, but my breasts aren't achy and sore like they were with my son. I don't have much of an appetite, and get nauseous easily, but I haven't actually been sick yet. I've had a dramatic decrease in my milk supply (which I had originally been attributing to the stress of the last month), so I'm in the process of weaning my son....which is making me very sad, but he's handling it VERY well.

How long ttc, or is this babe a surprise?

A surprise! We've been debating number 3 but decided to wait and decide until after some major jaw surgery I had scheduled in November. The surgery should have been done a year and a half ago, but my little one was still nursing. Guess it's going to have to wait again!

How far along are you?

About 5 weeks

When did you find out?

Monday (the 24th)

So far, so good. With my last pregnancy I had hyperemesis starting at 2 weeks of pregnancy, and lost about 12 pounds by the 4th month before it went away. I'm hoping that it doesn't happen again.

This will be my intro, I apologize if I am not as active as I could be, I have a hard time keeping up with forums.

I am Heather, Mommy to Austin 11, Christopher almost 10, and Matthew 2 1/2. Austin is my dear adopted former stepson, Christopher was a post pill oops baby, and Matthew we TTC for 6 years before I got pregnant with him (also post pill baby). This one we TTC for 2 years before moving onto clomid & IUI, 50mg clomid, 1st IUI and it worked!

Married to Bobby, 30, a former soldier in the US Army, now an instructor for the Army. Married for 10 years, together for 11.

I am 5 weeks pregnant today. I found out 10 days past ovulation/12 days past IUI thanks to FIVE early pregnancy tests. I feel like crap, sick and tired and loving every second of it! No appetite, boobs just started getting sore, breastfeeding is not so much fun anymore.
