(we need like.... labor buddies or something here? If people are interested. So someone can be in contact with someone as we get closer and then something like this won't happen?)

We just did labor buddies on the facebook page....Maybe we do another set on TB? I guess those of us who have a labor buddy over on FB could sit out of the match up on TB...
@MusicFanatic - We did labor buddies on my last BMB. I found it helpful!
We did LB on my previous BMB, too. I didn't sign up on the FB page because I prefer to match myself than to be randomly matched. I'm strange like that. I may share my contact info with someone I feel like I know well on here, though, just in case of an emergency that leaves me unable to post for myself.

Nah, not strange I understand that! And I'm kinda the same. Someone here already has my number and we text daily, so I'll likely use her. ( @firefly3911 - I'm volunteering you here, haha!) - she's already updated people here when I've had issues, so she'll probably be my go to when I'm in labor and let everyone know. But for everyone else. I think it's a great thing to have and I know all the other boards usually do it, I see the signs up and stuff in lurking.
(sorry to take over the thread here. I just thought it kinda applied, considering..)

I signed up for labor buddies on FB because what the hell, but I'm much more active and involved over here, so I'd love if we did that. I guess everyone just ask whomever you want?
I'd say the ones who aren't comfortable being put in the mix just ask who they want. Otherwise, I think everyone should be put in and matched up with someone else. If everyoneeeee picks who they want, there's bound to be people left out. Some are obviously close with some and have closer relationships. And I don't want it to be like those stupid games in gym class back in the day where you picked people for teams and you never wanted to be the last person. Or not picked at all. So I think those who want a buddy and feel comfortable giving out the info should just be matched? And the people who aren't can just pick their own? Or... something.

Hey y'all! I feel loved. :x :x :x I've been lurking, but it's been a rough time lately with my HG, just dealing with heavy nausea and losing weight again. Plus I now have an active 6 yr old to take care of, doing school drop off/pick up, homework, etc. It's definitely been tiring. Thankfully my hubby is awesome and my niece adores him, so he's doing as much as he can.
I've also been lurking more because the app is being annoying after its last update. I keep having to refresh to get back to the main page. Is it like this for everyone else?
"Barfies", what a cute term! I'll have to steal that one. My niece is so cute about it. "Titi, is the baby making you sick again? Don't worry, she'll be here soon and then you'll feel better. Do you want anything to drink?" She's so sweet. And seeing my hubby with her has made me love him even more. He has endless patience and loves playing with her. He's going to be such a good Daddy.

I have given up on the app! I mobile bump, but just from the mobile site instead of the app.
I'm glad you're ok, but sorry the HG is acting up again.
Six year olds can definitely keep you busy too! She's lucky to have such a great aunt to take care of her.
Thank you. I can't believe how much work it is! I have new respect for you moms with other little ones. Being on bed rest, I was used to just laying around all day. Now we're up at 7am to get dressed, hair/teeth brushing, breakfast, packing lunch, and driving her to school (it's only two blocks away but I can't walk it without contractions). Then after school there's cleaning up, doing daily homework, making dinner every night since I'm not comfortable having her eat cereal for dinner every night, then playtime, bath, jammies and bed. And doing all of it with HG nausea...whew! Hats off to you single mamas, I'm sure it's super hard.
(psst... anyone feel free to start the labor buddy thread. I'm not technically participating since I have mine picked. Though I don't mind to help if needed? with matching, or whatever.. since I'm not being matched up).

Since we're doing these, @ladyamanuet wanna be buddies?
He's staying put. I've had a few scares here and there though. As long as I take all of the medication I'm supposed to and don't move too much after eating, I can keep food down. I haven't weighed myself in a long time, so I'm not sure if I've gained or not. Adding Boost has helped too. It's not the best tasting stuff, but it gives me peace of mind to know that I'm adding protein and vitamins.

I'm glad to hear you've been able to eat more and tolerate the Boost. I know it sucks.
