Labor Buddies List Update in OP!

newmama7

My due date is September 7th and I am in the eastern time zone I am expecting a boy and am hoping to do it med free! A group or one on one would work fine.

Daisy1232

I'm a little late to this party, but I'd love to have a labor buddy too!  FTM Due Sept 8th with a boy!! I'm on East Coast time, but I don't have any preferences.  Thanks!!!

biokitty42

I'm in.  EDD is September 3rd.  I'm in the Central time zone, but that isn't a must.

clkriley89

I'm in!  EDD 9-12, FTM, Central time zone, although time zone doesn't matter.  Group or 1:1 works for me!

Being stupid I sent a PM, read the message and still didn't follow directions.

EDD 9/27/14 and I am in Maryland.

I am not partial to any plan you go with, but I like the close proximity location.

Nothing specific either, thanks!

whitney4126

Crap. Apparently I've skimmed past this announcement for however long it has been up without reading and didn't realize we were signing up for labor buddies yet.

My EDD is Sept 9.
I live in KY in the eastern time zone. I'm fine with eastern or central time.
I could do group or 1 on 1.

My only special request is that my buddy not be one of those women who is actually pretending to be pregnant and plans to use info she gets about me to track me down and preform a c-section on me, and then pretends my baby is her own, while she leaves me for dead. Seriously that happens, and yes I'm still a little paranoid about meeting people online.

Sorry for the late response and thanks for doing this!

I would like a labor buddy.
EDD 9/29
East Coast
PgAL - not necessary but willing if needed another
AMA - not necessary but once again willing if needed

Ok I've gone back and forth on this, but I guess I'll jump in the pool. Thank @mrsdanielleM2010‌ for organizing.

EDD 9/16
STM
Home birth (I'd be more than willing to support any FTM's wanting a med-free birth - saw a few requests for that)

Matching based on the above really makes no difference to me, but I would prefer to be in a small group. With my husbands work schedule, sometimes I have less time on my hands than other times. I definitely plan on providing support, but I don't want anyone upset if I am less active some days than others.

Count me in!  Sorry for the late sign-up, I've been on the fence about this.  I'm in the Central time zone, FTM. 

EDD is 9/19 with twin boys, but I could possibly go as early as mid-August.  Hoping for v-birth, but only if these rascals cooperate.

Thanks for putting this together!

mrsdanielleM2010

Ok all! Anyone who pm'd me or responded in this thread is on the list in the first post. Can I suggest reaching out to your new buddy or buddies? Be aware that if people are mobile they might not get notifications for private messages.

I'd like to have a labor buddy if possible. I'm due on 9/9. Live on east coast.  Will take a group or 1 on 1. Thank you.

mrsdanielleM2010

@Mixedkidsrock‌ I'm not matching anyone anymore - the board figured anyone who would want to participate would have been around when we set it up. If you post a little bit about yourself maybe one of the existing pairs or groups will adopt you, or you could wait to see if anyone else comments that they missed out.

Maybe you guys should hook up as labor buddies. You have a few things in common!

And an inability to meet deadlines?

Or, after not being a part of the group at all, the ability to make us all wonder...

A labor buddy is someone you update on the progress of your labor so they can update the board and they do the same for you.

As a latecomer you've missed out on the labor buddy assignments, but fear not! If you want to lurk, intro, and become an active member of our board an already established labor buddy group may adopt you.

If you're a total rando like the many that just popped in to add their due dates to the spreadsheet (why!!!??), tell us the sex of their babies (why!!??), or ask for a labor buddy (why!!??) without ever otherwise participating in the board then PM another such rando if you're really down for sharing your labor with a complete stranger.... and don't expect everyone here to squee over your birth story because we won't know you.

She's not just a rando, she's FOGMTT & "my 3 also pregnant cousins won't come to my shower for my 4th child because they will have their babies before then. woe is me."

Jax2013

Thanks. I didn't wanna try to be a part of something without knowing what it was. And since I'm all late anyway, I won't bother anyone's group. Y'all have gotten to really know one another over the weeks and I don't wanna disrupt that. But congrats to everyone with a group/partner. Sounds fun

And btw, pregnancy has really turned some of you into assholes. Or maybe it's just enhancing what was already there

Oh! I want to be your buddy now! Oh wait......


PS My asshole has definitely enhanced since becoming pregnant. Stupid hemorrhoids. Thanks for noticing.

AnyMax

This just keeps getting better!

Jax2013

Thanks for proving my point

Oh, and just a little PSA for you, direct name calling is against the TOU

Good thing participation here is not mandatory.
No one is forcing you to spend time with our raging hemmie (not to be confused with a hammie, of course) ass holes.
