I think it is almost getting to the point were I would consider it "rude" to have the GP Mamas post - since many of the GP Mamas only hop in once a week to "flaunt" their pregnant bellies at us.
If they really weren't welcomed here - why is the GP Mamas post the one post a week that ALWAYS hits 3 pages of comments?
see the contradiction here??? I'd like to see them participating more than just on the GP Mamas post...people like you and care about your pregnancies.
Thanks!
This.
Me: 32 DH: 33 High School Sweethearts Married 5/28/2005
DS1 born 6/5/10 at 40 weeks via emergency c-section due to fetal distress and IUGR caused by placental insufficiency
DS2 born still 8/28/13 at 32 weeks via emergency c-section due to a complete placental abruption - cause unknown
Baby #3 on the way, EDD 2/29/16. Originally twins, but we said goodbye to Baby B at 8 weeks.
Alright, I tried to stay out of this but I can't. Here's my take, GP mamas are liked in moderation. But the line between too much and not enough is very ambiguous. And quite honestly, it's too much effort for me to deal with. So I post when I'm paged or when I have something to contribute. But other than that I just lurk.
This mama drama is getting really old. New subject please.

If there were only perfect rules about the perfect amount of posts we were allowed and what the subject matter allowed would be... haha.
I do post once and a while, but as the other girls have said, we are following the request of GPers. Are you asking us to stop posting belly pics as well??

Just as many of the GP regs got tired of hearing the debate over the GP Mamas, so did the mamas. That's why many of us took a step back! Honestly the opinion of whether the mamas should or should not post turns with the tide, so while it's not the majority, it's enough for us to stop justifying our presence!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Bcbs!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you? (can you tell i am excited to see you?!)
I don't really think I'm a GP mama but I like it here and lurk every day, post when I have something to contribute.
I think I missed your BFP announcement...Congrats!!
And regarding to the GP Mamas: I miss them. I have only been here a few months and already the board feels different from when I first started posting here. I guess that is just how it is with message boards.
Thanks! I didn't really make a formal announcement. Again, because I hadn't been around long and didn't want to offend anyone as a potential drive by

You are the main reason I still lurk on GP because I miss you too! I have been so busy with work that I suck at reading and updating my blog lately, but don't worry you are still in my thoughts!!!
And to answer you, I am good, babies good, we find out Friday the sex so I promise to let you know!!! How have you been?
They have their secret board and don't want to play with us anymore...
Trying to stir the pot I see...
I love to lurk and still post on here somewhat regularly...just not as often as I used to.
No, not at all. Maybe I should have added the winky smiley beside that. It was just a statement.

I'm in full agreement with Savat and Lyse. (and I heart you both). Seriously I post when I have something to say, and while I might not be a long time reg, I think this is SOOOOOOOOO freakin old.
Let it go. (and Cath, you might have to do the same w/the asst!!!! but I hope it works out!!!)
I usually stay out of this debate, but I always wonder about the women who do want the GP Mamas to leave, do you stop being friends with your IRL friends if they get pregnant? I started with alot of the GP Mamas and it is truly saddening to not be able to keep up with thier pregnancies and lives and hear their amazing voices on the board.
I'm not sure who asked you guys to step back...but why is thier "opinion" more valid then those of us who would welcome you all back and truly miss your contributions to the board? Pregnancy or not related!

I would do a poll, but there are always going to be those that will vote against the GP Mamas but not have the balls to admit it.
Heather - I think for the most part, the GP Mamas are sick of people making comments about them being here. I would be too. I would be more inclined to say Fuuck off, but most ARE trying to be respectful of everyone's feelings. They have said multiple times that they are here for them if we need them.

Re: Where are all the GP Mamas?
You are a GP Mama LeighAnne! Don't try to disown us
