Yesterday 2 pink lines showed up on the test. I'm due mid October if all goes well. I work full-time outside the house and raise our 2 year old with my husband in western Washington, although we are both from California.
I'm excited, nervous, and can't remember if I felt so sick so early last pregnancy.
I got my BFP two days ago on the 2nd! So I should be due mid-October. It was our fourth month of trying. I have a midwife appointment set up for Leap Day and I can't wait! My husband and I live in the midwest with 2 dogs and a cat.
Tentatively saying 'Hi'. If this one sticks around, I'm due Oct. 9. I have a history of chemical pregnancies, so we'll see. This one is a very surprise 4th pregnancy after a stillbirth. Fingers crossed!
Hi. Very surprised to be posting that I am expecting #3 around October 15th. We had a combination of birth control failure and late ovulation. I have two dd's, 7 and 2, and live in south central PA.
Welcome! PA is a beautiful state. I spent a few months in Scotland, PA (near Chambersburg) when I did AmeriCorps many many years ago... I loved how green it is.
I haven't had many symptoms yet other than a much smaller appetite and one afternoon of queasiness. I never thought I'd want to feel nauseous! What are everyone elses symptoms? I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow and I have ready most don't kick in until 6 weeks
Hello! I am new to the website and forum! I got my bfp 9dpo, and I'm 6 weeks tomorrow. EDD is October 4. Symptoms have been mostly tired and frequent bathroom trips. Some nausea has been creeping in the last 2 days...not too bad yet. I have a two year daughter. 1st appt not until feb 19!!
We tested pos at the end of Jan, due around the 10th of Oct. One miscarriage and 2 chemicals last year had me giving up, so this is a surprise for both of us. First appt is on the 22nd, and my midwife will order an ultrasound the following week to check for viability. We are in NH, with 5 kids--14, 12, 9, 5, and 3. Fingers crossed this one sticks--a little sick already, so here's hoping.
Hi everyone! Not sure how much I'll be posting here, but this pregnancy is still sinking in, so I figured I'd try to jump in.
I will be a third time mama, from the middle of Canada. My first two babies were very planned, and I was very active in my previous DDCs. My daughter T is a Nov 2011 baby, and my son E is a June 2014 baby. I've been on MDC for almost ten years now I think? We're a natural birthing, breastfeeding, babywearing, baby led weaning, cosleeping, attachment kind of family. I work very casually at a hotel, and was also trying to get my doula business going again. Not sure now.
This pregnancy was a complete surprise. We had recently been having discussions as to when we might have a third baby, if we had one. We had decided that it wouldnt be for probably 18 months at least, but maybe at much as 3 years down the road. Well, surprise! I'm trying to remind myself that this baby apparently really wanted to be here, and I should trust that.
I had a hospital birth with my first, naturally but it was a very defeating experience for me. Got a midwife with my second, and ended up with a lightning quick unassisted birth at home, to which my amazing midwife attended right after. That same midwife has already accepted me into care again, which honestly right now is that happiest thing about this pregnancy!

Welcome! My previous ddc still has a Facebook group and they are an awesome group of women. I'm not sure about the changes on mothering.com since then. But I'm trying to get used to it/like it and need somewhere for pregnancy babble.

Hi all, and congratulations!
We just found out on monday, big surprise. Like onetwoten, we had been discussing a third sometime in the future, definitely not yet! But, baby must be ready, so….Oct 17th is the due date.
I have a 4 yo and a 2 yo, and am finishing my PhD this spring (hooray! Defending while morning sick and keeping it a secret from my committee will be just so fun. :/)
Still bf'ing the 2 yo, around the clock, but am suddenly hell bent on at least night weaning him.
Already getting pregnant-feeling: the little moments of head rush, thirsty all the time, minor waves of queasiness.
I can't really remember from my first two- but there isn't really a rush to get an appointment yet, is there?
We are due October 10th I believe with baby number 3. Seems shocking that it's happening now that I'm pregnant again. I don't remember this feeling with my other three pregnancies(first was a miscarriage), but I'm sure it will pass!
Hi ladies. Just got the positive test on feb 8th on what I believe was 18 dpo but it was a pretty strong + so I'm thinking I O'd a bit earlier than I thought. I'm in shock, frankly. And terrified since I'm a first timer at 39 and asking myself what have I done? My fiance and I decided to go for it since I would love an October baby, being a libra myself
but now that it's happening (and so easily on first try) I am panicked and asking myself if I went through with it because I believed it wouldn't be possible. In other words I'm so scared to be pregnant and become a mother that I expected/hoped for failure subconsciously? I am finding it hard to get happy and look to the future. All I am doing is worrying about how I will balance work and a baby and eventually a child. I guess these are the fears of every new mother. Any words of wisdom are appreciated. :heart:
Hi! Just got a positive test a few days ago! I haven't told my husband yet - this will be our first & we've been trying for several months, but I feel like he might freak out initially, so I am just giving myself a few days to feel a bit more grounded. This weekend is, weirdly enough, the 10th anniversary of when we met, so it seems like an appropriate Valentine's surprise.
Anyway, it still seems extremely unreal! I keep finding myself frantically thinking ahead about all these life details (-we need to find a new apartment! etc etc) whereas a few weeks ago all I was thinking about was "What if we never have a baby?!"
What else? We live in Western Massachusetts with our cat. I'm an RN and a doula.

I live in western MA too! Greenfield!
Also have cats! :cat2::sparkling_heart:
I take care of a nursery for work..
(the plant kind!) this other type of nursery stuff will be a whole new ballgame!
Hello all! I loved reading your introductions and am looking forward to getting to know everyone!
We learned I was pregnant on the 10th, and Internet estimates birth date to be October 19th! Three days prior to finding out, we had taken the decision to move back from British Columbia to Ontario to be closer to family to EVENTUALLY add to it!! My partner has been on long term low dose meds his gastro specialist quite categorically stated would affect his sperm count, but this one time we played fast and loose sure showed her We are very, very excited as well as somewhat shocked, as well as slightly overwhelmed what with new baby, new jobs, and new home all coming our way in rapid succession in the next few months!
I currently work as a nanny of two wonderful girls aged almost 3 and 4.5, and will be taking over my mother-in-law's bakery when we move!
We are in our early 30s and live with one pet snake and so many houseplants.
Just found out a couple of days ago. Still feels unreal; we were actively avoiding pregnancy. Our children will be 9, 12 and 13 by the time this one arrives (if I don't miscarry).
I'm kinda scared. I miscarried in April 2013 and it was heartbreaking even though I didn't even know I was pregnant. This time, although it's unplanned, I was happy to see the positive. Though the rest of the family will undoubtedly tell me I'm nuts.
Am really glad to have this forum for support and company as I reckon the next few will be lonely and I'll need to drum up the courage to tell in laws and my dad. (My mum and sisters know and they're supportive)
Hello all!
I just found out that I am pregnant with # 3 a few days ago. I actually belong to a facebook group that was started with all fall babies of 2014 from mothering. It is awesome. But in order to keep my craziness contained I figure I would join a DDC. I am due Oct 21st and am looking forward to this crazy ride!
Hello everyone. This baby will be my second, due around the 21st. I had a miscarriage back in September. I didn't know until I started bleeding right before my 10 week appointment, but baby had stopped growing at 8w/5d. That baby was unplanned and I was in denial about it and having terrible anxiety up until I lost it and realized how much I wanted it. I am still struggling with guilty feelings. This time I am eating really healthy and trying to be calm and positive. We are definitely excited, and our loss has helped us get over the fears of having a second child.
My only symptoms so far are a change in appetite, some crampy twinges here and there, and mood sensitivity and irritability.
That's exactly what i went through with my loss in the fall. I had terrible anxiety about it and even though we were excited i was super anxious about the whole situation. I felt horribly guilty when i lost the baby. I suppose our negative feelings could have been intuitive...i feel so much more confident this time as well. I have watched my neice and have had trial runs with her. She is 6 months now, as well as all the kids. They did fine with her on the most part and so did I. This little one will be due during the school year and 2 olders kiddos will be in school all day and the 2 younger start k and will be there just half day but that will give them a break from the baby and it will be easier for me to have that time with the baby for a few hours each day. Perhaps we weren't ready yet but i feel i am ready now, i am glad you do too. Sometimes it takes losing something to truly know how much you wanted it. Because i flip flopped about having another so much until i had my loss and then i wanted to have 10 more babies, jk, i guess...
Hi everyone! I'm expecting # 2 and am looking forward to getting to know you all a bit. My first was due the day before my edd this time (this time it's Oct. 16th) but was born on Sept. 30th. I was a member of a ddc last time but didn't post until much later. We won't tell anyone until at least the end of March, so I am keeping things on the dl. Nice to meet you all!
