Who is interested?  I would be willing to create the document if there is enough interest.

  • @vrj0522 - we would pair up and you would notify your labor buddy of when you go into labor and they keep us updated...saves you from posting and getting a lot of tags and is also a way to bond with another bumpie (at least it was with my DD).  It is easier to update one person than keeping up on the board since mobile is such a PITA for most of us.

  • I'm in. :)  

    I also love how some of the other BMBs have a pinned post for birth announcements.  I love lurking the July 14 board (which I was a member of for a few short weeks) to see all the announcements in one place, and most of them then link to their own posts with the full details too.

  • I have been thinking of this on an off for a while, but I was never sure if it was too early to bring it up.  I didn't participate in Mar12's labor buddies because I was late to the group and didn't really know anyone, but I would totally be down to join in this time!
  • This would be so fun! Count me in!

    Is it random or do you pair moms with early due dates with ones later in the month?

  • @Emerald27 - I was thinking random but making sure due dates weren't the same.  The only thing I'm thinking through (and would take insight on) is if an early/late date partner up, will the first one have time to update us on the second while adjusting to new baby?  But it is something for the participant to consider I guess right!

    FTM - BFP: 1/23/14 - EDD: 10/5/14 - DD Born 9/13/14

  • I am in!  Due October 1st but may go early due to GD.  Will know more later down the road and after I have some growth scans to see how big this guy is.  Today he feels huge and has been kicking just about all day!
  • I'm in too!

  • Sounds great! Count me in too! 

    And I agree that it'd be nice to have a birth announcement thread at some point. I've been reading through June '14's and I think it's great!

  • I would love to. But with my EDD 11/11, I am not sure if this would wotk. I do also have GD so that may change the EDD also. Let me know if it would work.

  • Oooh, I like this idea. Let's do it. But, like yeah. I'd almost say make it random, but make first-of-the-monthers pair up with end-of-the-monthers, but that screws up us middle-of-the-monthers. Although I'm certain I'll have this baby in September, so there's that.

  • Sounds awesome! I'm in
  • Count me in!!!

     

  • I want to say count me in, but I worry that since my due date is so early compared to everyone else's, I'll be too tired/busy with baby to be a good buddy.  :(  I wouldn't want to do that to someone.

  • I'm also wondering how you tell your labor buddy and also concerned I might suck at it. :-)

    I'm down! But how do you notify your buddy and keep them posted? PMs or something?
    From my (limited) experience, LB can send PMs to each other and decide what they want to do.  I had a friend on my Jan13 board that ended up exchanging email/FB info (still FB friends apparently), and eventually phone #'s so that they could text.  Not saying that everyone has to do that (Stranger Danger!), but that's what they chose to do.

  • I'm down! But how do you notify your buddy and keep them posted? PMs or something?

    Totally depends on your comfort level, but I think at least at first, you and LB communicate via PMs. When you go into labor, you can tell your LB and send her updates as you can, and she'll post about it on the BMB. :)

    I don't think it'll work that way. ;) Everyone who is interested will go on a spreadsheet and the pairs will be made randomly (except that OP will probably try to pair up people who aren't due the same week).

  • I'm in! I'll be having a RCS a week after my due date if I do not go into labor before that. Can I still have a labor buddy?
