So, is there a group, or should we make one? I was in a january 18th group because I thought I was pregnant last month, and was actually very sad to leave it, a lot of sweet people and good topics.

We aren't making a group until later, but feel free to make your own if TB isn't your cup of tea. Stranger danger.

I know I'm super late to this game but it's SO early to even be thinking of an FB group. For me at least. I was an active member in s16 and we didn't start an FB group until some ladies started having their babies. You never know what can happen in 9 months! Some people come and go. Plus, I don't trust the internet that much haha! I will say, my S16 ladies are my home girls and we are still going strong in our FB group. It will be an amazing opportunity when the time is right

If someone makes a FB group, please invite me. I'm in one for my 11/12 baby and we've all grown really close. We started the group when we were very early in our pregnancies. In the beginning, none of us were Facebook friends so if your profile was private no one could really get much info on you. 
I came back to the bump in search of a fb group for this pregnancy because I like the structure of fb much better.

Pretty sure it's been repeatedly said that this group would move to Facebook later... 
if you want a FB group, search FB for one instead of coming to TB to look for one in a community you just said you didn't want to be a part of. 
thanks for resurrecting this thread.

@TattoosandLace always on point.

If you aren't going to take part in our community here, then you sure as h e double hockey sticks aren't gonna be in our FB group when it SOMEDAY gets started. (Not any time soon.)

Huge part of the reason I wanted to move to fb over this group...snarky little
girls can't hide behind a screen name...
I never said I wasn't going to be part of this or that I didn't like it, simply that I like
the format of fb better.
fyi... you can't search for a private Facebook group...
Try not to be so sensitive.

It still makes no sense you would come back to a community you have just admitted you don't care for to be added to a group. 

Especially if you would have read the multiple answers people gave above.

hi. Feel free to actually address something I stated and not refer to me as a "snarky little girl". Don't try to be demeaning because your comment on a zombie thread wasn't welcomed with open arms. 

Have you read the "READ THIS FIRST" post? Have you commented on the introduction post? Have you commented on anything other than this post saying you didn't want to be on the bump?

I don't think anyone is "hiding behind a screen name" just for the sake of being "snarky." It's called stranger danger and internet safety. Sorry if I don't want to be in a FB group with a bunch of catfish. I will join at the end of our pregnancies once people are vetted.

Yeah not joining a Facebook group where you can see my name and photos. Why would these boards even exist if we just skipped the whole 9 months and went on Facebook? I was here for my August 2014 baby our Facebook group wasn't created until the end and is still going.  I will be happy to join after our babies are here.

Actually, I was very involved with the bump for my last two pregnancies dating back to 2010. I came back here because I enjoyed it then and the fb groups that stemmed from them. I heard the bump had changed and I can see that now. I will leave and not be back because you all have been very rude. Good luck with your pregnancies.

What is this? Our second GBCB?

I have gotten a few messages from nice ladies who would like to be part of a private fb group too. I am going to talk to the mod that set up the group I am in now (for older babe) and see if she knows of one for Feb 18, or would help me get one started. If you are interested please inbox me.

Your involvement in past boards really has no weight on your involvement on this one. My valid questions weren't answered. Rude? But name calling isn't rude? Okay. Cool. Enjoy your FB group. See ya!
