@ivedonethisb4 we have girls with super preemies that stayed with us. This bmb will still be active, so don't feel like you won't have the support here. And for you newer or less active ladies, you can always create a group as well, I mean you probably don't know half the ladies in this Facebook group if you haven't been around for more than a few months. Would you rather join a group where you don't know most or put together a group of the people you are already interacting with on here? Isn't the point to create a safe group of ladies whom you know and are in a similar time frame to?

And we are going through everyone that has requested, but i don't want anyone to feel like they won't have a support group.

Can't help but feel a little left out. Being due near the end of mid-February and having been a very active member on F14, then having my baby so early in January.... I feel like I should be here now instead of there but not many people know me so I feel like a bit of an outsider. I'd love to join and hate that its not going to be an option once I've been here a bit.

Why do you think you have to switch groups if you put in so much time on F14? I was due jan 31, baby born February 5 and have not ever considered switching boards as this is where I spent all of my time during pregnancy. Just saying. 

I'm still very active on F14 but in actual age I'm well ahead of most of them...there are a few of us that had our babies early..I posted some here during my pregnancy too because I knew I would likely have a January baby due to complications both she & I had. You're right I don't have to post here but I want to. I have a January baby. I will continue to post/follow my F14 ladies because we're a pretty close group but at the same time, as far as birthdays and things to celebrate, I feel like those would be better done with people who are doing it all around the same time as me. I realize preemies do milestones at a different pace than term babies but my baby is 7 wks old & there are some just-born and unborns still on F14. My baby acts pretty much like a typical 7wk old she's just small & doesn't eat as much.

With my first, I was due in large July but had a mid-June baby. I stuck with my July mamas because I knew them well and didn't feel like trying to fit in with a new group. With the range of normal for babies, other than the newborn stage, I didn't feel like I couldn't relate to the other girls because I had one of the oldest babies. Not that you can't post in the Jan group of course, but don't feel like you HAVE to leave Feb because you have a Jan baby.

I sent a request earlier to join but after reviewing some of these comments about not beig active early on I want to retract my request as I just recently became more active on TB. I'm happy to stay active on here and will continue to enjoy getting to know you all and wanted to say thanks in advance for all your support on here. I love having a place to come and ask questions either baby related or not and seeing that I'm not the only one going through some of these struggles are being a mom.

I am still on January 14 even though my boy was born in December. I figured I knew these ladies, and that's when my baby was supposed to be born.

@ChuggingWater I would probably be more involved in the Facebook group. I'm usually on my phone when I check in here and unfortunately it's not very mobile friendly. You ladies kept me sane during my last trimester when I had a 4 yo pushing my every button. I lived for nap time when I could pop in and see what everyone was up to.

This. I did an intro on the Dec board bc my baby was born on the 31st but Jan 14 is my home

Exactly me too! New Year's Eve babies rule!
