Lurking

VS2016

 Does anyone else enjoy lurking on other month groups?  Right now I check out March, April, and June.   I am still checking March out because I am due May 28th so I want to check out baby announcements to see how many people are going into April with their babies.  I like to check out April for their baby announcements because it is so exciting to see all of the little ones.  I also like to see if there is a good discussion.  What do you check for when you lurk?  Anything interesting come up? 
I had to put this meme because it is funny and creepy... creepy...  Lol

I love lurking the birth announcements for April, they are coming fast and furious now!

yogahh

All the time. I love reading the birth stories and tips/topics for postpartum.

Yup! I love reading birth announcements, PP threads, and anything with baby pics.

Oooh, I hadn't thought of this! I'm not on the bump a ton, but...let the lurking begin!

All day eeryday! But sometimes I participate in April because I feel like there's a *chance* I will have an April baby.

Yep. I work nights so when it gets dead around here I'll lurk 1st tri, 2nd tri, 3rd tri, and the April board.

yeah pretty much whenever I'm awake in the middle of the night I'll switch back and forth and lurk March, April, June, sometimes I'll even go lurk some of the months who are just finding out they're pregnant and reminisce. I thought I was the only one, I feel way less creepy now.

proudparent2b

I'm lurking April as well, as there is a chance LO might be born in April.

I just went and lurked at April...so many premie and nicu babies!!! Has me worried now!!! Stay in May babies stay innnnnnnnn!

I love reading the birth announcements because they're a great reminder that this is all going to be worth it in the end, and also because of all the cuteness. The postpartum stuff out there is scary, but it's also helping me to be prepared...some of the PP threads have great reviews of various helpful products that I wouldn't have even thought of getting.

I'm a creepy lurker from the April board.  Hi! 

I love the April ladies, but I feel like they're all so far ahead of me. My EDD is between April 15-22. I feel like I still have a long ways to go. 

A lot of the April ladies are already sitting in L&D or talking postpartum.  

So I like hanging out here, because everything you ladies post, I'm like "OMg! Me too!", especially all the 3rd tri symptoms.

I really should be lurking April since I know for a fact that I will deliver in April (we won't go past 38wks so the eviction date is April 25th and this little lady could come earlier). I don't know, I think it is the Hufflepuff in me that I am so insanely loyal, it is hard for me to let others in and open up to a whole new group of ladies.

balamama

@laurenmdrn16 we love having you as a May mom - don't leave us

Spylon

Oh I definitely do that too! I've stayed away from the post-partum threads though... so far.

I once forgot I was lurking on April '16 and was love titting all the posts in the maternity pictures thread without paying attention to usernames. I only realised I wasn't in May because someone mentioned already being 36wk and that didn't add up to a May due date. I was like, "Shiiit, none of these people know who I am and I look like a huge lurking creep!" But I was too lazy to go back and un-love-tit.

Not that I've been that active on here and I could totally end up with an April baby, but still.

I also totally lurk TTGP/other BMBs' UO Thursdays and FFCFs for the drama. What can I say, I am a huge lurking creep.

I've been lurking the birth announcement threads on the March and April boards lately to calculate the percentage of people giving birth before/after their EDD to see how it corresponds to the generally accepted percentages.  I'm a nerd like that!  And I like seeing the all the cute pictures of the new babies!  I also lurk some on the June board because I have a late May EDD and the early June people are closer in weeks to me than the early May people here. 

snowhite12

I'm actually lurking from June....

I frequently lurk this board because my EDD is June 3rd. My DD1 was suppose to be an August baby and came in July.

jumpy57

Hahahaha, yes I lurk. I have also noticed a lot of random people on the May board adding admitted lurker comments. I love when lurkers comment... it is like getting random advice from someone in a restaurant/bar ladies room.

tgortney

My EDD is May 7 so there could be a chance I'm in April so I like to lurk them. But I like to lurk other BMBs too from the women I know who are pregnant IRL lol

Pascal86

I'm due late May so I feel like I already have about a month preview of what's to come at all times, and that's all I need! Also I have no time to hang out on other boards, otherwise I might feel inclined to check out June since I'm guessing that's when baby will actually come. 

VS2016

April is posting tons of birth announcements!!!!!!!  We are getting close!!!!
