I was away for a while in the middle of the pregnancy because life got a little wild, but I would love to be a part of the April Facebook page. Is it still open? If so, what do I need to do to join?
TIA ladies!

I didn't even know about a fb group until this thread. Feel a little left out now
Don't worry I'll live!
And yes, they are secret groups, so no one on your FB page would know a thing...
You're seven months pregnant and your friends don't know?

D'Oh!
The people who are important in my life know, but I have 800+ facebook "friends" and I don't need to share the details of my life with them -- I haven't "come out" on FB either, because I don't think it is the place to talk about the personal details of my life.
Me too. I haven't mentioned my pregnancy on Facebook at all. The people who are a part of my every day life already know. It isn't a secret though. Other people post on my wall about it sometimes, and I'll post a birth announcement and pictures of the baby once she is here.
lol Seriously?
Sorry TnArichmond - no cool kids club for us apparently!

I'd be interested in joining
It got brought up since most of the people have stopped coming here to check the threads... It was almost like the group had split in two. Those who come to TB regularly, and those who come to FB regularly. Only a couple people troll both. I usually don't post here, but I do read the threads especially on boring weekends. People were asking if the group was going to close, so the admins asked if we wanted to close it at all, or leave it open. Everyone decided to close it, and voted on third trimester being a good cut off. I know there were a few posts here on TB letting people know to join before it closed. But if you don't check regularly, you might have missed it. I do like the idea of a new FB group for the latecomers, or those who just weren't comfortable signing up for the first group. That's the beauty of FB, anyone can make a private page... although I would definitely say to make it private as that is why so many people jumped on the band wagon the first time around. Especially since most of the people here now know each other better, it's nicer to have a private forum that the public can't wander in to. Nothing about cool kids or anything like that, it was just a timing thing.

Wow no kidding?!? I have asked at least 2 to 3 times about an invite throughout my pg and was never answered...I am def not cool!
That's where I'd prefer to be!
This. Count me in for the new group!

I think that those of you that want a new cooler FB page should make one and tell anyone that is in the previous FB page that they aren't allowed. Make sure there's a clear line between the cool kids and the cooler kids
I'd like to remain here at the bump anonymously though, sorry. Not cool enough for a FB page, cool or cooler.
If it wasn't about shutting people out then how did I get "kicked off" of the original page once I was already a member??
Congratulations?
Because you didn't check your message or page ever... our admins for several weeks message people asking if they still wanted to be in the group... and with the numbers being so high almost a hundred people and the group voting to close, they figured if you were not checking the page ever, then it didn't make sense to keep strangers in the group. They made many many attempts to tag your names in threads to see if you were still interested in staying. No response eventually meant that cuts were made. Less than a handful of people were cut.
As for this thread in general, but not to any person in particular. After seeing this thread, this confirms exactly why the group closed. The people can't make up their mind here... read through this and see how absurd it sounds... you hate a facebook group, but want to be in a facebook group. You complain the group was formed too early, but now that we are all 8 months pregnant you want to be in one... like you couldn't have joined any time before now? You act like you're being intentionally excluded, but most of the people here were the ones that excluded all of us and drove us away to facebook. We get picked on repeatedly by snarky women who hide behind anonymity and then have the nerve to complain that we're the "cool kids" excluding everyone? Seriously? It seems like once every week or so, our FB group keeps being brought up here as if it's some sort of punishment that you aren't in it. Go make a new group, that's the beauty of the internet. As of this post, I'll never be coming back to the bump because of how rotten so many people act here. We're all supposed to be in a pregnancy forum for help and support, but this group has neither been helpful or supportive to most of the people who started here. It makes most of us just hate coming and checking in. If it "offends" you that some of us actually want to really be friends, and genuinely get to know the women we are spending so much time bonding with, then don't join face book. No one is holding a gun to your head, no one is begging you to be a member, no one is excluding you, but rather we are just tired of the drama of TB. People here would rather be rude, snarky, name call, criticize, and complain than help the women who came here for support. There seem like a lot of great late comers to this group, that most of us will sadly not get a chance to know, and who seem also like minded in not liking the bad behavior either. We keep hearing the same comments over and over again on TB that bash over and over the FB group. That's why it's closed now. To stop that kind of behavior bringing the group down. Rant over.
To the ladies who really wanted to join, but just came late to the game, our group has said you guys seem like great ladies and we hope your new FB group is just as supportive and loving as we feel that ours is. I genuinely wish you all a great pregnancy, and happy/healthy babies. But some of the behavior here may not be as nice as you deserve..

Not that it matters now, but this is bullshit. I never got any message or tag. I was getting notifications, and then once I unfriended the admin who was annoying me with the likes and comments on my personal page, I got kicked off. End of story. I was kicked off before this vote to close the group even happened. I didn't participate on the page, so I don't care that I'm not on it. The point of my posting here today is to point out that your group is not drama free. I got kicked off of your page for a stupid reason and I never complained about it before because I didn't care. But since you're all going on about how you've got this drama free group and that's why you can't include any more people from here....I just have to call bullshit. This display that we've seen today proves it even further.
