Hi ladies and congratulations!! Welcome to your April 2013 Pregnant Moms Club! I am so happy to share in this special time of your life with you. I'm Christine, Mom to two busy kiddos. Let me know if you need help with your signature/ticker, adding friends or navigating the Community. Settle in, and enjoy your group...I look forward to getting to know you. 
If you would like to be the first to start a due date list and be the one to keep it updated the go for it! I'll pin it at the top for you. Many groups also note gender as team green, pink or blue on their list once they find out. When I was pregnant, we also did due date buddy list where two people would connect via email or cell and that person would update everyone else when their buddy was in labor! It was exciting! Below are more great groups that you might find helpful as you go through your pregnancy. Join the groups that interest you and read what others have shared or offer advice of your own! Best wishes in this wonderful journey! For all of you expecting new little ones! Moms To Be Need help finding the perfect name?

Christine, thanks for setting up the group! Well, here I am again. I have four girls - 15, 11, 10, and just under 1. The 1-year old was to be our last, by mutual agreement. Last week when I started spotting a week before AF was due, I knew something was up. I am guessing that this is implantation bleeding that I am experiencing, but I have never had it with any of my prior pregnancies. Over the last week, I have noticed my increasing hunger and thirst, and the last couple days, I have needed to use the restroom alot. So, yesterday, on my way home from a meeting, I decided to stop and pick up a test. I got a faint positive, which is enough for me, especially since it was the day before AF was due, and I took it in the middle of the day. Since I have not experienced this bleeding before, I have not yet told my husband. I have my first nurse visit in 3 weeks, and I would really like to wait until after that to tell him for sure. Right now, I'm torn between excitement at the thought of another little one and terror at the thought of another little one. ;-) I look forward to getting to know all of you ladies. Having just gone through this about a year ago, I know that these boards were nice to share experiences and talk things through when we felt too silly to go to our spouses or doctors. Based on LMP, I'm coming up with a due date of April 10. I'm still in shock and keep going back to look at the picture I took of the test yesterday to see if I imagined the plus sign.

Hi ladies. I'm Suzanne, I go by Sue nowadays. My daughter is 2 years old and I am now pregnant with number 2. Me and my fiancee are so excited. We've been together for about a year and only just recently started to want a child together (my daughter is from a previous abusive relationship). I took a test one day too soon and it was negative, took another a week later and it was invalid and then next time I took a test, that little line popped up and made me screetch. My fiancee thought that I had saw a roach or something so he came into the bathroom with a shoe. I fell to the floor laughing and he asked me what was going on and I showed him the test and he hugged me so tight. My estimated due date is April 12th. :)

Sue, once you've chosen a ticker, you can paste the code in your signature section by clicking on "My Discussion Preferences" that shows up at the top of the screen (above the discussion topics).

Jen, Sue and Christine, Congratulations! How very exciting! So happy everyone is here to share the good news. Christine, I am sure it's a little scary, maybe excitement will come once you see an ultra sound :) It's nice that your youngest will have someone close to her age in the fammily. Tammy
