Joining a local MoM's Group

Hi Ladies.  I was planning on joining a local MoM's group after my babies' arrival - that is until I found out that their member's only semi annual rummage sale is next month.  I'm feeling superstitious about joining before my boys' arrival, not wanting to jinx anything (silly, I know).   Did any of you or will any of you join such a group before your babies are born?  Is it a strange thing to do?  Thank you.
D & R were born at 37w5d.

    I belong to a local group and waited until after my girls were born.  I wish I had joined when I was pregnant.  We have a few expecting moms in the group and people sign up to bring them food after they deliver, give them formula checks, all kinds of stuff.  Go ahead and join, it's a good support system.

    I'm joining one -- apparently plenty of women do in my area -- they're planning a get-together for all of those of us who are expecting sometime in Sept. 

    I do worry that it'll turn into this freak-out session of all of us feeling like we're not getting some absurd level of monitoring that the highest common denominator happens to be receiving today or something like that -- but I think in the long run it'll absolutely be a great decision to have started participating early.

    I am 34 weeks pregnant with fraternal boys and just joined a local MoM's group a few days ago. I am already glad I did... the woman have already been helpful in answering questions and there is a classified board of people selling/giving twin gear away for free- always a good thing!

    I joined mine at about 25 weeks and I am glad I did.  I probably wouldn't have done it if I didn't start early.  (who has time once you have newborns?)

    They have stroller walks, get-togethers, dinners, meetings with guest speakers, etc.

    At first I felt weird but I love it after connecting with some members more my age. 

    P.s.  yes- sometimes people give away free stuff!  i got my double snap n go for free :)

    I contacted my local MoM's group - well its a Parents group - because I wanted to see when a good time to join would be and the lady advised that I check it out and join at their next meeting.

    Thanks for the advice, I'm going to contact them today and get signed up!  I hadn't even thought of joining just to have that support group while pregnant.
