Any upcoming appointments? Any updates on recent appointments?
GTKY: if you could choose your last meal what would it be?

Re: DD fourth week of May 5/20-5/26- 2/21
How far along are you? What's the size of your LO?
26w5d- nearly third trimester ladies!!
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
Feeling really tired still and the usual acid reflux but otherwise good! Loving baby's movements and kicks ❤️
Any upcoming appointments? Any updates on recent appointments?
Have to go get BP and urine checked on Friday- going weekly as my BP was borderline high at last appointment. I bought a monitor to use at home and I've checked 5 times over the last few days and only had 2 readings over 140 so fx everything is okay.
GTKY: if you could choose your last meal what would it be?
A big, juicy bacon and cheese burger with onion rings and fries! YUM!
When I look at April and June buddy groups they seem to have such a comraderie. I wonder what went wrong on our board?
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? babe is sitting low and movements hurt my vag
Any upcoming appointments? Any updates on recent appointments? Had my glucose test this week!
GTKY: if you could choose your last meal what would it be? Eggplant Parm, donuts, cake and root beer
It's easy to say you don't understand why it gets annoying to have randoms always posting when you are not one of the ones who's been around dealing with all of the random posts. Or you haven't been the one who actually needed support on your thread only to have it bumped down by a snowflake who wants to show off an u/s photo and then disappear into the night.
A lot of us who stayed and supported each other, and supported others that posted and ghosted, have bonded. We now have a private group where everyone is being more open and we continue to bond. And I think that's amazing. It sucks for those who didn't get in on it, but there is a reason for that. You had to be one of the ones who actually stuck around and gave the support and made the attempt to bond. You can't complain there is no community when you stood on the sidelines and made no attempt to form a community.
And this song is now in my head on repeat, about myself, obvs.
means, put some time into it and build it “back” up. No one is stopping you.
By the way, please show examples of these "brutal" posts. I'd love to see what you are referring to.
Trust me, these women were ANYTHING but brutal or bullies through me almost dying and continuous hospital stays. They pulled me up when I literally didn’t think i could take another step. We’ve laughed together, cried together...I’ve stayed up half the night worried sick about things they’re having to endure.
So have at it. It’s your board now. We aren’t here to rebuild it for you. If you want to make it something, get off your own ass and run it how you want it. You want random ass chaos? By all means GO. FOR. IT. But don’t sit in our seat and be surprised when someone doesn’t like how you do things either.
Also.....love you guys
I have soooo many thoughts but I don’t want to anger TB gods so a few I will be keeping to myself.
Serious question: what are you actually butthurt about? Because we aren’t here for your entertainment? You lurked/sporadically posted that makes you a lurker not an active participant in a community that’s on you not us.
Besides we are ‘bullies’ and ‘brutal’ so perhaps we did a favor by moving to the private board.
@mrspirate - umm and you are?? So glad you logged on to tell everyone how terrible it is here and how brutal we are. That is totes helpful In creating a community that you say you are interested in.
Also, isn't each whole bmb basically a little clique??? You're meant to bond, participate in, and support your clique (aka bmb). Some just actually do it.
I myself have tons of time to stalk and post right now as I am literally in the hospital for 6 weeks or until baby decides to come, whichever happens first. Luckily, I have the amazing support of our private fb clique to help me get through the rough days.
I am definitely one of those lurking infrequent posters. I have been on here so infrequently, in fact, I didn't even realize that there was a private board. Frankly, I was so surprised by the lack of snark and the patience a lot of the ladies showed on this board from the beginning. Why should women who have been bonding and forming relationships for 6 to 7 months feel obligated to include those of us who sat on the sidelines? This isn't grade school; nobody is obligated to include you in anything.
Included is a screenshot of the definition of butthurt provided by urban dictionary. I believe the second definition is fitting, and can be applied to the above.
You definitely would have fit well into our little clique!
Had these two ladies bothered to be involved (even lurking alone) they would have seen just how close an supportive we are. There were plenty of drive bys who were pointed in the right direction and then accepted the info and became part of the group. Without getting butt-hurt. I started on the bump on TTGP January of last year when we were a few months into TTC and I've been on this board since the morning after my BFP. The only time there is ever snark is when drive bys think they're entitled to everyone's praise for creating one-off AW posts when we have clearly labeled threads or when someone is pushing false information as scientific fact and will not accept proof that is nicely presented to them.
Just wanted to add @mrspirate and @jmaxx23 so I could make sure you don't miss another board veterans view on it. Also, you want brutal bullying? I was on the knot back in the early 2000's for a friends wedding (before you could sign up as a bridal party member so you had to put in your own wedding info, I put her date and such as mine with my actual to allow the account to be created) and one of the 'ladies' decided that I was too young to be getting married (I was 18) so she and her crew bullied me relentlessly for month, then when they weren't getting the reaction they wanted out of me, they started stalking me. Legitimately, they started popping up everywhere. I never physically saw them, but I ended up reaching out to the knot and threatening legal action (against them, not the site) because they were sending me messages with my personal info, like location, listed. I'm far more guarded and secure online because of it, but THAT was brutal. And I was on the nest boards when I was pregnant with my son back in 2010-2011, no stalking and I actually got along really well with my board, but dang! those drivebys didn't know what they were walking into.
Point being, you clearly don't understand what it's like to be 'brutally bullied' online or in real life. But with an attitude and approach like they one you've taken, you shouldn't be surprised to not be included in the private board where us active members are being more open about ourselves and our families...

@ladystinson I am known as a bit of a mean girl in real life. I guess you either love the sarcasm I radiate or you don't. Although I have never had my own table! I'm a little jealous I missed out.
