Introduce yourself here!

Hi fellow August 2017 mammas!

I figured we should have a thread to introduce ourselves!

Start with your due date!
Then tell us about
- your family (Hubby? Kids? Solo? Etc.)
- where you're from (no addresses please!!)
- how long you've been ttc (if at all!)
- your background
- your interests, hobbies, work, etc!

I figure if we're going to be supporting each other through this ride, then we should have a way to wave and say here I am!

Looking forward to getting to know you ladies over the next several months!

Hello Ladies! I'm a 30yo SAHM to three little ones. We have a 9yo son and two toddlers, 2.5y and 1.5y, born 10mo apart. This will be our 4th. My husband and I have been married 3 years and his about to start his medical residency in psychiatry. We live in New Orleans, La & my husband physician training  will most likely require us to move out of state mid pregnancy. This has me a bit anxious as I will need to find two providers in two separate states to cover my care.

We were planning to TTC starting next month so I guess I got a little lax in my fertility tracking. Lol After having our Irish twins we weren't in a huge rush since they're quite the handful, but we definitely wanted more children, so off we go on another fun pregnancy adventure! Congrats everyone.

Hi.

My due date is Aug 19th. We had been trying for about 5 months. Thankfully it didn't take as long as my first. That took a year and a half. My DD will turn 2 a month before my EDD. So far she doesn't really understand that I'm pregnant, but we tell her there is baby and to be careful.

I have been married for 4 years and  I am a SAHM. We haven't announced yet but I'm really excited about the picture announcement we are going to do. It will be of DD holding the ultrasound with a big sister t-shirt on. ❤️

Welcome!

Depression is hard, especially post-partum. I had peri-natal and post-partum.

I agree with no judgements, but I  want to caution that this forum is not private. If anyone needs to speak privately, don't hesitate to ask for help and I'm sure many fellow mamas will respond + let you know how to get in touch with them more privately to help you through the tough stuff.

Hi everyone
Due Date is Aug 24th
Husband and I have been married since Aug 2015, and live in Chilliwack BC. We have been trying for a baby since Jan 2013. This is my 3rd time being pregnant with 2 miscarriages. This year found out my rubes were fully blocked so we just did IVF. I had the transfer on December 5th and I got a BFP on the 12th!!!! So excited but nervous at the time.

Welcome! Glad you can join us!

I think you're in the same neighborhood as my SIL. ;)
We will be telling family over Christmas/New Year holidays, so she doesn't know about this baby yet.

Hey everyone! Got my BFP this morning! Due date is roughly August 19th!

I'm in Alberta Canada and my husband and I have been married for 3 years!  This will be our second little munchkin.  Big sister is just about 17 months old!

We started trying in September so we've been really lucky!
