in August 2014 Moms
My sister told me there is a Bump Facebook group for all Agust 2014 due dates, but I can't seem to locate it. Does anyone know of the exact title to type into the search bar? She said that finding your birth group on FB is really fun and helpful! Thank you!!! : )

    I absolutely understand and appreciate the security of it all, but it still seems really difficult to get in from what you all have shared. Bummer!

    Be a part of the group here, and you can then ask to be a part of the group there. Most of us have been together for 8+ months and have formed bonds, and supported each other through some really hard times. When we decided on the FB group, we wanted to make sure random lurker a weren't trying to get in to it to steal our personal info. I'm not saying that's you, but if you really want to be a part of the group, hang out here, give support, talk about food, and then I'm sure we'd be more than willing to have you in our close knit FB group.

    Why are people sounding hostile? I apologize if I asked something inappropriate. I am more am more confused than ever.

    No. Just....no.

    If being involved here is too difficult then I don't think you'll work out in the FB group.

    I also made the same mistake of asking a question on here!! Be ready for all kinds of snark remarks and attempts to make you feel as if you tried to ask them all there social security numbers to steal there identities. Apparently these ladies don't welcome newbies ESP if you make a post here without introducing yourself first. I would highly suggest just "lurking here" and finding another way of asking your own personal questions to keep from being attacked by these ladies!! :)

    It's not that difficult.
    It's just nice for people to participate on the board before asking about FB groups. Intro, stick around a bit and participate in discussions. You wouldn't walk up to a group of strangers and ask them to let you into their group. This is no different.

    Well hey you guise, since someone else asked can I actually really be invited? I am an active member I just missed it the first time around and I am lonely without lawgirl(my labor buddy) now. Now I don't have to start an awkward thread.

    Thanks Babyschwartz!!! I was super excited to find this group, but now feel a bit different. I understand and totally respect the bonds that have been formed here, and didn't mean anything rude via my question. : (

    OMFG

    Huge sticky post at the top of the board that says "Click here first"

    We love our newbies... when they're willing to introduce themselves, read the forum rules, etc...  You can find dozens of intro posts where everyone has said Welcome!  Do you like pie?!?"

    It's not hard.

    But at the point where we're all due in a month or less, you're gonna get side-eyed for just suddenly and very randomly showing up with no regard for the friendships we've spent 8 months developing.

    I honestly think you are mistaking our honest feelings about this as being mean. We are not being mean. We don't mind have "newbs" come in but we want to get to know you, especially if we are going to be sharing our personal info with you. Think of it this way. Would you randomly "friend" someone you had no clue about on FB just because you searched a name? We aren't saying there is no way you can be a part of it, but what we've all said is hang out here, contribute, get to know us, and then be in the FB group wouldn't be such a big deal.

    Whose attacking someone...?

    Oh, that's right. No one.

    Thank you for your all your comments. First, I am new and learning the dos and don't. I apologize that I don't know how this all works. I wasn't asking for anyone's personal info at all. I just thought there was an open group. And my sister did tell me to ask here, as that is what she did. I am of course happy to join here, but feel from a lot of comments that I am too late. I am a nice person and meant nothing harmful at all. In terms of sharing who I am, what is appropriate?

    You have no idea how much it pains her! She is amazing, but has had a very rough pregnancy. In fact, it is a miracle those babies stayed in. <3

    Since becoming pregnant, one thing that I have noticed is how judgmental moms are on other moms. Of course we all have our personal opinions, which is human, but why do so many women have to be that way during a time that is often so hard and emotional. It breaks my heart!

    There is a way to share that is loving and respectful.

    It's not about being in kindergarden, just a decent human being.

    I totally get it, but from what it sounds, asking another question in the future will simply get the same responses this entire feed gave. Damed if you do, and Damed if you don't.

    Jennicillin, I stated from the the beginning that I just thought there was an "open" group, as there are many others. I meant nothing by it whatsoever.

    I was fine with or without the group. I was just curious, though mostly "trying" to get involved.
