Hi ladies and congratulations!!  Welcome to your August 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!

Hey Guys, So I have an update. I had my first ultrasound today, and It went very well. My baby is ahead of schedule by way of 5 days because of growth, so My due date is now August 5, lol. But I, of course, cried when I heard the strong heart beat; 174bpm. And he/she even moved so. I probably have a little athlete inside of me. j/k But all in all, I was very excited, elated and any other good feeling that can form into a word. And I cant wait to hear some of you guys's stories on your first ultrasounds in the upcoming weeks. :) Best of luck to you all!

Hi Aug 2013 mamas to be. I'm new here and was wondering...is anyone showing yet? I am already and feel a little self conscious of this because its so early still. I'm sure it's just bloating but I've gained 5lbs and I don't feel like I'm eating more. I'm a really healthy eater because I'm vegan so I never eat fast or processed foods...just mostly vegetables and beans and nuts and grains. Is anyone else already gaining and getting a bump?!

Stephanie,


Don't feel uncomfortable about your belly growing, that's what is supposed to be going on :)


I'm pretty sure that I I started showing right away and I thought for sure that everyone would be able to notice. Funny thing is I think it was just more noticable to me.


Try and enjoy your pregnancy, I am sure you look just beautiful....bump and all!

Thanks Tammy! A lot of my friends are pregnant right now and all prided themselves on not showing until the second trimester so its hard not to compare myself to them. It's nice to hear I'm not the only one who started showing early! My first ultrasound is today so I get to hear the baby's heartbeat! So exciting because we tried for 16 months and lost 6 babies all before our first ultrasound so this is a big milestone for us!! Will keep everyone posted! -Cheers

Me!  I showed really early with both of my pregnancies.  I was buying maternity clothes in my 1st trimester!
