Secret Facebook Group- Open to anyone!

Yep glad to go than. Pretty ridiculous that grown women pride themselves on being rude. Especially on a forum to support one another.

Yeaaah...TB definitely isn't for you. Bye and good luck with your pregnancy!

Wooooow! I just joined this site...some of you ladies are mean! This is the second post ive seen about facebook that has jumped all over the OP. Why jump all over someone for wanting to make a Facebook group? She didn't say you had to join! Yikes!! I will go back to what to expect now. Geeesh!

I think it is funny how people come on TB and jump on posting about how mean people are. First of all, stop being so sensitive! I know we are pregnant, but c'mon. Have you really led that much of a sheltered life where no one disagrees with you? It is life. It is reality, not mean. Learn to deal with it. Don't act so entitled after posting something randomly on a board of online strangers and then proceed to get upset when someone says something you don't want to hear.

I love how you are the one preaching peace, yet spewing hate. You my dear are what we like to call a double standard!

milkandhoney77 · November 2013

I'm so confused do we have one or not? I sent a PM and haven't heard back. Just because some people don't want to join now doesn't mean we can't go ahead. I honestly cannot stand having to log in every time I want to post on TB.

Cmayer08 · November 2013

Amelianickel I sent you a message! Check your inbox!

Cmayer08 · November 2013

To those that are interested...just pm me your email address. I have found that this works best as it's hard to search for people on fb and then you don't have to worry about becoming my fb friend if you don't want to. We have had numerous interested and we'd love anyone who wants to join!

Cmayer08 · December 2013

Bumping for newbies or those that feel comfortable joining now. Feel free to pm me with your email and I will send you a invite to the group!

biglewzer · December 2013

You are incredibly creepy. You don't post here, partake in any conversations, never intro'd, and yet troll lurk and bump this post for your creepy Facebook group. Creepster. You even said how much you hated it here. Yet...here you are lurking and trolling.

milkandhoney77 · December 2013

Holy overreaction biglewzer!

No way Jose. Creepster.

FlannelGrl · December 2013

I'd love to join! Sending you a message. I've been looking for a Facebook group as its so much easier to post for me!

Salsera29 · December 2013

I vote for @biglewzer to admin a non-creepy FB group to open around say...Easter. (or Passover, or spring break...you get the point).

runrinserepeat · December 2013

Yeah... super creepy. I hope when we're all ready for a FB group, we make a new one. Right? I do not want to join the creepy one.

No way I'm joining this one. When the time comes, I'll gladly jump in a group with a regular poster / admin.

Parzia74 · December 2013

The group is actually anything but creepy. I very much enjoy it. So much better and easier of a forum then tb. No one is rude either

I go there daily with questions and trust it more than I do here. 1) I can see everyone who reads what I write- unlike here where it's a free for all for any lurker to see 2) I find people are more open and honest and well- less rude- when there's a face to go with their name. So let me be the first to defend the group- it's actually a breath of fresh air. No judging , no insults, and completely private. If that's creepy to others, well clearly we have different definitions of the word. Agree to disagree

Cmayer08 · December 2013

You can think I'm creepy all you want. Doesn't phase me. You wonder why people would want a more intimate setting to really get to know people and not just hide behind screen names and bash people just because you can. Like I said earlier I could care less if you didn't want to join and truthfully I'm thankful you don't want to. I have posted because believe it or there a tons of lukers or as you call them creepy people that don't post but look for advice and want it in a different setting. I'm not posting this because I want to be the one starting your group when others want to join, go ahead let an admin do that, I am posting because I and the others in our Facebook group wanted to give an open invitation to those (unlike you) who want a different environment. Flame me go ahead. Those have joined and those that will can agree that I am no creeper.. But go ahead and believe what you want.

If you didn't care about my opinion you wouldn't have responded.

Then why are you posting here? You said what you wanted to say, you don't have to keep posting anymore.

TurtleMonsters · December 2013

All the other opinions aside, I can't believe the bump would allow posts that come on a recruit members to other sites. the last puppies and rainbows site I was on pulled these posts right away. what's the point of being "here" if ppl are all going to end up "there"? then no one here, knows the people there, since some seem unhappy with logging in and TB interface. That's not the way to build a trusting group that is really open to the people here.

And my 2 cents...I personally don't care what you do, but it seems kinda sleazy (and reflects on you and your group) to form alternate FB groups now, drawing your members from the popularity of TB. Like stealing clients from a large corporation. That's not exactly ethical. I'm not sure I'd want to be a part of that.

Agreed! I can assure you there is nothing creepy about OP or the FB group. If you don't want to join that is completely fine, perhaps the name calling is not necessary?

cookiemomma14 · December 2013

I appreciate the invitation. I know I don't post much and am still concerned of the possibility of a miscarriage. I may join after the first trimester and as I begin to get the hang of posting. I don't get on here a whole lot or Facebook either, but I like the idea of the forum to connect. Thank you and I'll just wait a bit and hope I here good news at my apt on Tuesday.

[Deleted User] · December 2013

I think part of the reason people are annoyed is because there's a long history of Bump vs. FB wars that often result in people's personal information being posted on this message board. And it typically starts when people in a FB group go badmouthing Bump members. So if you want to have your FB group, that's great, but it's probably better to not advertise how superior it is around here.

As someone has who been a part of a Facebook group, in all seriousness enjoy that while you can because I can guarantee that will be short lived. Especially if you are allowing anyone to join who sends an email.

hokiemom86 · December 2013

I've had good and bad experiences with facebook groups. I will definitely be holding out a while longer to get to know everyone a bit better. I've seen a lot of CRAZY things happen in my last BMB... I think I'll try to avoid and unnecessary drama at this point!

sunflower717 · December 2013

Poor C offered to be the one to remind people the Facebook group existed and gets deemed creepy. I try to keep up over here but it is so much harder from my phone, so I love having the fb group to get to know expectant mamas a little better. I promise, we aren't creepy

runrinserepeat · December 2013

Weird that the people who have been around and joined a few FB offshoots of TB all think this is creepy, and the creepy creepers and newbs don't think its creepy at all.

Oh. wait.

sunflower717 · December 2013

Actually, I am not new to the bump, just had to make a new profile because I forgot all sign in info because I was way more active in my fb bmb and my old laptop had all my sign in stuff automatic.

yurmom · December 2013

Like I said before I just think it's rude that @cmayer08 just comes here to advertise her FB group. She doesn't participate or give support at all. In fact when I look at the people who are supporting the FB group many of them are not active posters here. If you want a FB group that's fine, but stop recruiting from our group if you're not going to even participate here.

Salsera29 · December 2013

I'm sorry but being ok with putting your personal information out there for strangers on the Internet is creepy.

mlebates · December 2013

I most likely will not be joining a fb group. I like the privacy of tb, where no one knows my real info. I'm still actively involved in a fb group, and those ladies have been with me for years. They are the best "personal" support I need right now.

cakebatter27 · December 2013

As others have said, I will consider a fb group months down the road when it is created by an active poster on TB.

Kristy917 · December 2013

I actively post here and I'm on the "creepy" FB. It's actually not creepy, and if a new FB is made, all us creeps could just join that and it would be the same thing essentially.

cookieinva · December 2013

The FB group for my former BMB is awesome and I freakin' love it. 70-some ladies and I have "known" them all for 4 years or so, know who their kids are, what their husbands do, where they live, etc. We moved off TB after our babies were born and while we have lost some people from the group along the way (crazies, arguments, not meeting posting requirements, etc.), it is a great and diverse community. Based on that, I would consider moving to FB at a much later time. However, there are losses to come, crazies to weed out, blow-ups to happen, etc. before I am sharing any true personal info. So thanks for the invite but I am not ready to out my info out there to strangers just yet. Have fun!

tealowl · December 2013

I also, would probably join a FB group - just not right now.

eortman · December 2013

I agree with most of the previous posters that I might be interested down the line. However, I also would be more interested if it were started by someone that I have at least seen active on the boards. It seems odd to post on thebump if you don't like thebump.

Renoir77 · December 2013

Some of you are really truly horrible. The name calling here! I am a professional, with many friends of all ages and walks of life and don't see this kind of catty attacking of other PREGNANT GIRLS anywhere else. You're afraid of people knowing your real names? Not in the least surprised. We're all adult woman with a very special thing in common. No, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm new here, as I'm not due until the 4th of July. I've been reading a bit and seeing what this bump thing is all about and I must say I'm appalled at nearly 50% of what I see here.
Disappointing.
I'm out.
